BY CHARLOTTE CHOI

Whether it’s your first time at a formal event or you’re just getting used to being in a tux, everyone knows that dressing in formal attire is really just a unique opportunity to wear your most fashionable clothing, and that’s where designers come in. If you want to stand out from the crowd on your wedding day, an exquisite gown is the best bet for you. When it comes to finding the right dress for a special event, a designer dress will not only make you feel amazing, but it’ll also inspire others to do the same.

Here are the top 5 designers who are going to be indispensable in future formal events:

Pnina Tornai

Pnina Tornai is known worldwide thanks to the reality television show “Say Yes to the

Dress,” and has become a household name in shops everywhere. The bridal collections are likely to be found in all wedding gown shops.

As one of the most popular designers, she uses crystals in her couture gowns, elegant silhouettes, and alluring features like illusionboned bodices. Pnina Tornai’s new affordable

“P by Pnina” line starts around $2,500, while her custom gowns start at $4,500. 20 Nfm Galia Lahav

When it comes to bold brides, Galia Lahav’s wedding couture dresses are the pinnacle of romantic haute couture. They feature delicate beadwork, Italian silk, flowing tulle, and stunning train effects to create one-of-a-kind brides on their wedding day. Fine beading, Italian silk, and flowing tulle are all common in Galia’s designs. The range starts at $5,000 for made-to-order gowns and can soar to $20,000 for custom designs.

Vera Wang

Vera Wang's captivating fashion choices have been around since the early 1990s. Each year her wedding clothes receive rave reviews for their fresh and cutting-edge looks. Although they may appear bold, Vera Wang's wedding clothes are never tacky. We adore how she adds stunning fabric choices, stunning cuts, and bursts of colour to classic designs. The starting price for Vera Wang bridal gowns ranges from $2,500 to $6,900.

Anna Campbell

Anna Campbell's vintage-inspired dress designs are extra special because of their old-world charm, ethereal fabrics, and classic silhouettes. From $2,800 to $8,500, you can find Anna Campbell gowns that are lovely and feminine.

Lihi Hod

Lihi Hod brings together modern style, classic shapes, and couture fashion to make exceptionally comfy dresses. We appreciate that a bride’s comfort and self-assurance are a part of Lihi’s philosophy (as indicated by the built-in body shaping!). Bohemian lines, beading, and lace are sometimes used to dress her dresses in a lovely, gentle fashion. The cost for one of her dresses usually ranges from $3,000 to $5,000.

So, who is the most popular gown designer?

There is no clear cut answer to this question! Each gown designer is well known in their own capacity. Some are fond of Pnina Tornai, as she has appeared as a household designer and became extremely popular due to her appearance on television shows. Having said that, my personal favorite is Lihi Hod. We simply love the fact that a bride’s confidence and comfort are both a part of Lihi’s philosophy; plus, the built-in body-shaping feature of the gowns is just amazing!

10 Best Sustainable Gift Ideas for Someone Special

BY ISLA LEWIS

If you choose to lead an environmentally conscious lifestyle, why not consider including some sustainable gifts in your gift-giving this year? The holiday season generates a ton of garbage, from wrapping and packaging to shipping emissions to novelty gifts that are frequently one-time use or never utilized.

We've identified the top presents that are eco-friendly or support sustainable living, whether you're buying for your father, sibling, best friend, or really anyone. After all, we only have one Earth, and the holiday gift-giving season comes and goes every year.

Stainless Steel Bottle

Everybody needs at least one portable water bottle, and this eco-friendly present is a perennial favorite for a reason. The bottles made by Klean Kanteen are made to the most important environmental safety requirements both inside and out, and they are long-lasting. Additionally, its effective insulation keeps hot drinks hot for hours and cold drinks cold for days.

Suction-Cups Based Mini Mat

appreciated by the parents for the all-in-one, non-slip, quickcleaning upgrade for meal time, but the kids will love eating food out of the creatively designed, attachable plate.

Indoor Food Composter

A food composter for indoor use is a wonderful present because all gardeners recognize the significance of healthy soil. Composting at home is quite simple with this one because it is made of sturdy, responsibly harvested bamboo. Giving their flower bed more nutrients and reducing the amount of garbage sent to landfills will make them happy forever.

Stainless Steel Straws

Keep yourself warm by covering your hands, feet, and head with fabric at all times. This will help you stay warm and improve your blood circulation.

These sneakers are as stylish and adorable as they are environmentally friendly, thanks to algae waste and other organic waste materials like sugar cane. Impress your friends and family with this long-lasting gift made by the carbon-neutral Munjoi brand.

6 Set Wool Dryer Balls

Wool dryer balls are a wonderful present for anyone trying to make their home more environmentally friendly. They not only take the place of throwaway dryer sheets by softening clothing and lowering static cling, but they can also help speed up drying, cutting energy costs.

Zero-Waste Dispenser for Soap

Petal's low-waste soap dispenser is the ideal gift if you want your friend or loved one to feel good about helping the earth each time they wash their hands. As a bonus, the soap pods have energizing lemongrass and ginger fragrances.

Bar Variety Conditioner and Shampoo

Leave the disposable bottles of shampoo and conditioner behind. Conditioner and shampoo in the form of bars are the newest sustainable beauty fad, and your loved one will definitely thank you for introducing them to it. Even better, these bars contain coconut oil and fair-trade cocoa butter for the finest hair scent they've ever experienced.

Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

With the robust waterproof Bluetooth speaker, you can run through snow or rain. Bring your HD77 wherever, even the shower, the beach, and the pool. Simply plug the gadget into the USB-C connector to charge it, and then secure it with the provided strap and carabiner.

Indoor Grow LED Garden

This understated indoor garden will appeal to the plant enthusiast in your life. Once the potted plants are set into place on the stand, the LED grow light will take care of the rest. For optimal photosynthesis, the timer is set at 16 hours of on-time and 8 hours of off-time.

This article entirely favors the many businesses that have integrated sustainability into their operations. When a product is described as "sustainable," it suggests that some aspect of its production, such as the packaging or the materials utilized, was environmentally friendly. Make your next gift thoughtful by choosing from the gifts described above.

Branding Your Small Business: How to Make a Name for Yourself in the Industry

BY JAQUELYN VALEE

Branding is a crucial element of any marketing plan. It's how customers can identify your business from the competition, and it's more than just a visual. It's reflected in your reputation and your personal goals. Here are some branding best practices you can use to create a positive, memorable brand.

Do Your Market Research

The first step in establishing your brand is to conduct market research.

You want to know the trends in your industry, what customers are concerned about, what demands are not being met, and what challenges you may face. From there, you can identify your target market and tailor your marketing strategy toward that demographic.

What are the characteristics of your ideal customer? Think in terms of income bracket, age range, gender, geographic area, consumer behavior, and industry. What does the average consumer in your line of work look for when shopping? Can you reach them through social media? What niche sector of the market can you fulfill? These are important questions to consider in your research. 28 Nfm

Know When to Hire Professionals

There are a few things you could potentially DIY in your branding. For example, you could create a banner for your website and social media pages to catch consumers’ eyes and draw them to your business. Rather than spending the money to hire a graphic designer, you can use an online banner maker to customize your banner with animation, text, font, color, imagery, and video. Then, post it to your Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube pages to attract more people to your website.

Your website is one area where you would benefit from hiring a professional. An expert web designer can make your website clean, sophisticated, and professional. A search engine optimization expert can help drive traffic to the website and increase your views using keywords and phrases. Research shows that these elements of SEO are changing as the world of online analytics evolves, potentially drifting away from the use of keywords. You need an expert to help you stay on top of your digital marketing strategy.

Do Your Studies

If you're concerned about not having enough business and marketing knowledge to stay ahead of your industry's competition, consider

returning to school. Work on a business degree and sharpen your skills in the business world. You'll study everything from financing to marketing. You'll learn how to handle the books for your business and create an effective business plan to keep you on track and provide you with a well-written strategy to present to potential investors. Take the time to research schools online. You can enroll in a program that works around your schedule so you can continue balancing your work and home life while adding school into the mix. Consider How It Affects Your Customers Knowing how others perceive your brand is crucial to success. Brand perception is a total of the feelings you invoke in your customers, the experiences you provide, and the attitude your company projects. Consumers are much more comfortable recommending brands that trust and remember fondly. NFMFind Your Brand

Finding your brand is an important aspect of running a business. But before you start creating your brand, it's important to figure out your brand's purpose. What is the mission of your company or product? What are you trying to achieve? Once you know the answer to these questions, you can start developing a brand that will resonate with your target audience.Your brand's purpose should be reflected in everything from your logo and website design to your social media strategy and marketing materials. By clearly articulating your purpose from the beginning, you'll be able to create a cohesive and compelling brand that will help you achieve your business goals.

Then, think about what you want to offer your customers. What does your company mean to you? What purpose are you trying to fulfill? As the owner, you are the face of your brand. It's up to you to figure out how you prefer to represent and market it. Do some research, think through your business plan, and you’ll determine your brand. And once you find it, use helpful tools to reach your customers and collaborate with contractors to make sure everything aligns with your brand and reaches your target market as planned.

Tale of a Tall Girl

"Walking the runway was one thing but walking the hallways of school was another. Every girl goes through that phase where she feels awkward but the runway made me feel normal. My height was celebrated, my beauty accentuated. I was home. I found my passion! I would practice my runway walk just how the designer would demonstrate. “Like this,” “like this'' was the most common phrase. Showtime! The music would come on… Lights! Camera! Action! Each model styled in a collection to walk in. It was like a dream come true. I was only 14 and there I was! A freshman still though and I had to go to school the next day. All I could think of was becoming a supermodel. After I finished high school, the world shut down. Social distancing made self expression difficult for everyone. I think fashion brings us together to celebrate our bodies and embrace our differences. All was not lost. A fashion forward future is still my fantasy. A world where our lives can be the runway!" - Aubrey Frazilus, Model

Spirit of Time

Jamen Lanogwa, fashion designer

Elina Vlady, model/project director Paris Burhen, model Nick Dechkov, photographer Yvey Valcin, stylist

For the collaboration shoot itself, it was a creative project inspired by Seattle’s music history. The inspiration were artists and musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Heart. There was no particular genre or fashion decade in mind, more of a creative experiment mixing genres and era’s together.

We looked at Seattle’s music history and drew inspiration from some of the biggest names in rock music history, who were all Northwest residents at various points in time. This resulted in an avant-garde capsule looks. Rocking fashion in the Spirit of Time. To make this easier here are the names and roles of all parties involved.
