Head Over Heels

Publisher Scott Johnson Executive Editor amelia compton wolff

In my house, the first days of fall are a holiday unto themselves. When the weather finally allows me to break out the boots, sweaters and scarves, I feel like I’m coming home to the welcoming arms of my oldest friends. Walks in the woods atop mounds of leaves, planning Halloween costumes (this year I also have a fat little French bulldog to outfit) and decorating my front porch are some of my favorite fall traditions. Autumn also ushers in two of the sweetest words in the English language: soup season. Enough said. It’s safe to say fall is my favorite time of year. So while working in the magazine publishing industry can sometimes be a bit discombobulating (like when we are planning the holiday issue in August), sometimes it gives me the best excuse to immerse myself in all the glorious things I’m eagerly anticipating. Exhibit A: our fall fashion feature on page 18. If you love fall fashion as much as I do, this is a must-read. This year fall fashion is embracing an unrefined sort of glamour, a little earthy and a whole lot of edgy. This feature will surely give you loads of inspiration for your autumn wardrobe and beauty arsenal. This month, I sat down with the fashion powerhouse herself, Kate Burgess, owner and CEO of Elevate97. Not only is Kate an impeccable fashionista in her own right, she also works with world-renowned retail brands like Kate Spade, Calvin Klein and Vince Camuto to execute on elevating their brand strategies. Read all about Kate and her ever-growing business on page 6. September is an especially meaningful month at YOU Magazine because we sponsor two outstanding local events: The Women’s Fund Power of the Purse on September 24 and HSHS St. Vincent Hospital Fashions from the Heart on September 29. Learn more about Power of the Purse at www. womensfundgb.org. For more information about the Fashions from the Heart fundraiser, call HSHS St. Vincent Hospital at 920-433-8561. Both of these events impact women in our community and we are so honored to be a part of them. Please consider attending one (or both) of these events. We would love to see you there! Because a loving, generous heart is always in style. Follow us on:

Story by Amelia Compton Wolff Photos by Mike Peters on location at Elevate97, Green Bay

Such Great Heights Besides being a mother of three, yoga addict and self-proclaimed “Swiftie” (a Taylor Swift devotee, for the uninitiated), Kate Burgess is an expert at telling brand stories. A tour through Elevate97 proves it. Walk through the front doors of the 180,000-squarefoot facility and into the reception area which Burgess refers to as a “living room,” a space meant to ref lect the company’s collaborative work culture. “We wanted to make our spaces workable, with kind of a Starbucks vibe, where you can have a cup of coffee, sit back and talk to other employees or clients,” Burgess says. A plush couch is covered with pillows and a cozy throw blanket. Sliding barn doors made from reclaimed wood serve as partitions between the reception area and the Madison Avenue conference room. This space is a nod to the New York City fashion

district which is home to many of Burgess’s first, and still existing, clients such as Kate Spade, Nautica and Polo Ralph Lauren. Every element of the office space reveals a piece of the company’s history. On one wall a giant “Route 97” road sign is painted in homage to the company’s founding year – 1997. The multipurpose room, where everything from quarterly company-wide meetings to lunch hour yoga classes are held, is called Tommy’s Garage. “My husband, Tom, and I started this company out of a 10-by-10-foot garage,” Burgess says. “We wanted to make sure that our work environment takes us back to our roots and we remember where it all started.” As owner and Chief Executive Officer (although the acronym she prefers stands for Chief Elevating Officer), Burgess leads the 100-person company that offers services in design solutions, production, distribution and technology to help brands better reach their consumers. Burgess says Elevate97 has a come a long way since its start in a commercial garage, spotlight continued on page 8 >>> september 2015 | www.greenbaypressgazette.com/you | 7

The client wall at Elevate97 showcases many of the company’s partners.

<<< spotlight continued from page 7 but the company’s focus on exceeding clients’ expectations has remained the same since day one. “Our goal is to help our clients elevate their brand,” she says. “We listen to their needs and try to anticipate what’s ahead for them. That’s part of the value we bring when we meet with the fashion industry in New York or the sports industry around the country, including right here at home.”

new name, new level The client wall at Elevate97 showcases vignettes dedicated to some of the company’s partners including Jim Beam, Harley Davidson and the Green Bay Packers. The vignettes represent each company’s unique story through branded materials and items that epitomize their culture.

For example, the Green Bay Packers are represented with a helmet, football and books about the organization’s history. It might be hard to believe, but Burgess says telling her own company’s story didn’t come as naturally as helping others tell theirs. “Here we were developing a marketing strategy company and, lo and behold, we never focused on ourselves,” she says. “We really needed to focus on who we were in order to tell our story.” Two years ago Burgess partnered with Bridget Krage O’Connor of O’Connor Connective who spoke with employees and gathered data which led her to make a bold recommendation: change the company’s name. At the time, the company’s name was Fulfillnet which

made sense when it launched in 1997. “They had started in fulfillment, but had expanded into so many services,” O’Connor says. “The name was locking them into being known only for that.” Last year Elevate97 debuted its new name and went through a large growth spurt. Burgess says the key ingredient to successfully stabilizing her company was focusing on the relationship with her employees. She coined 2014 “The Year of Us” and made sure her team members understood their roles in the growing business. Burgess says in 2015 the company has focused on establishing their values. The team identified four core values: aspiring (always reaching for new goals), challenging (pushing each other to their full potential), investing (in their teams, families, community and self ) and succeeding together. “These values help support our business so we can accomplish our vision,” Burgess says. “They aren’t just words on a wall, it’s really what we are.”

elevating all One of the company values Burgess is most passionate about is investing, especially when it comes to the people in her life. She is quick to shine the spotlight on her team members, colleagues and partners when speaking of Elevate97’s success. “It’s not one person, it’s not just ‘Kate Burgess,’” she says. “You put the right people together with the right platform that you’ve established based on your values. Then you let people do their magic.” Burgess takes this philosophy out into the Greater Green Bay community as well. She is actively involved in numerous local organizations including The Women’s Fund, American Red Cross, Notre Dame Academy and The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Green Bay. Sylvia DuBeau, senior director of development for the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Green Bay, says Burgess’s commitment and enthusiasm for supporting the children of Green Bay has inspired staff, board members and community leaders to work together to better the community. spotlight continued on page 10 >>> september 2015 | www.greenbaypressgazette.com/you | 9

Elevate97 at Work

If you’ve visited Schreiber Foods’ new downtown office, you’ve seen Elevate97’s environmental graphics. Purchased any Pandora jewelry lately? The boxes, booklets and cards were all produced at Elevate97. Stop in any sporting goods store and check out the adidas displays. They likely were produced at Elevate97. Get a glimpse of Elevate97’s latest work at the new Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame which opened on August 21. Elevate97 partnered with the museum to create enhanced displays about the history of the Packers. They also partnered with the Green Bay Packers, Hammes Company and Rockwell to provide specialty signage, custom, framed art, wayfinding and custom furniture finishes at 1919 Kitchen & Tap, another recent addition to the Lambeau Field Atrium. Guests can visit the Hall of Fame during regular Lambeau Field Atrium hours. 1919 Kitchen & Tap is open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

<<< spotlight continued from page 9 “Kate Burgess is the consummate role model for women of all stages of life,” DuBeau says. “She has opened her business to show youth what they are capable of. She shares her story of humble beginnings and helps girls understand the countless career opportunities that exist.” Burgess was one of four board members who championed The Boys & Girls Club’s strategic visioning work and established the Club’s new mission, vision and values. As co-chair of the Club’s 10 | www.greenbaypressgazette.com/you | septmeber 2015

Wine & Cheese event, Burgess helped the organization reach an ambitious $250,000 fundraising goal, approximately $100,000 more than the year before. “Always one to lead by example, Kate’s work on the board has paved the way for success that few would have ever thought possible,” DuBeau says. “She constantly finds new ways to exceed expectations and make miracles happen.” It seems impossible that a woman who manages upwards of 30 world-renowned brands annually would have the time to make these types of contributions inside an already packed scheduled. But giving back is a way of life for Burgess who is a firm believer that the journey is the destination, and her life’s work is to help her team understand their goals and find a greater purpose. “As they learn about themselves, then we are accomplishing what we are here to do on this planet. It’s not just about hitting a sales number,” she says, “it’s understanding the journey.”

Creating artisanal Local fiber artist weaves her story story By Meghan Diemel | photos By Mike peters

12 | www.greenbaypressgazette.com/you | septmeber 2015

With the way culture treats fashion nowadays, it’s common to have a sweater or jacket for a season and easily discard them into the donation pile once the weather changes. Artists like Oneida’s Laura FisherBonvallet work diligently every day, however, to remind us that fashion can be about much more than a mass-produced design. Not only is fiber art a cornerstone of high-end American craft, but it also tells a story – thread by thread. Fisher-Bonvallet’s story begins with her mother, who taught her to sew, knit, crochet, cross-stitch, needlepoint and a Norwegian needle art known as hardanger. “I made all of my clothes, beginning from about junior high age,” she explains. “I took every art class I could take in high school, but I was also interested in music. So when it was time to go to college, I had to decide between art and music – and music won out.” Fisher-Bonvallet taught music for 18 years when she decided to retire and return to art. She ended up receiving a loom from her mother, who learned to weave after Fisher-Bonvallet left home. After a few years, she built a studio for the sizable piece of equipment and taught herself to weave – and so began her venture into contemporary art wear design. “I knew I wanted to produce a line of clothing,” she explains. “My strength was in the tailoring and the sewing from before, and now I had to learn to weave and to make that cloth suitable for what I had in mind. I had a garment on the market nine months after I taught myself to weave.”

couture For Fisher-Bonvallet’s signature looks, it’s a yearlong process from idea to finished product. She constructs the pieces entirely by hand using silk, cotton and rayon. First, she develops the garment silhouette, followed by the selection of yarns and colors, and then designs the weave structure. The yardage is woven on a large f loor loom, and then transformed into garments through traditional tailoring techniques. Simultaneously, she must also focus on the business of her art wear, which includes applying to several highly regarded industry shows each year, marketing her fiber artist continued on page 14 >>> september 2015 | www.greenbaypressgazette.com/you | 13

Open Studio & Sale

Fisher-Bonvallet’s studio, Beauxchênes Fibre Arts, is open by appointment only. This fall she is hosting a rare open studio and sale September 25-26, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. “People will be able to shop, see the looms and production area, and maybe even see a demonstration,” says Fisher-Bonvallet. “Much of the work will be discounted for inventory reduction. It’s a great place to shop for quality casual, business or event wear.” The studio is located at 1150 Hill Drive, Oneida.

designs, and nurturing relationships with buyers and galleries across the country. Those are two very different skill sets, she admits, but she seemingly balances each side with a steady hand. “I love being my own boss,” she says. “If things go poorly, one has only themselves to blame… if they go well, that is one’s own doing, as well. So far I am proud to say that I have been very successful, and take pride in the fact that others depend on me for a living, and thus helping the economy to grow. It is a great responsibility that I do not take lightly.” People who have purchased Fisher-Bonvallet’s designs know just how much time and effort is devoted to each and every piece. “It’s a magic moment when a customer and a piece come together,” she furthers. “To see them walk out of the booth and just be on cloud nine because they have made this decision to purchase something – they’re purchasing part of the artist. There’s a story there - you’re making a connection with the artist, with the maker, the person – that’s a great value as well. It’s not just a piece of clothing to wear.”

As fall sweeps in, feverishly untamed, its cool whisper breathes color from the green, enlivening the earth and drawing out nature’s wildest beauties. As colors deepen and the air becomes spiced, clothes lengthen and layer, two simple additions that prove a most welcome change. Our inspiration this season? The gloriously unkempt corners of our world; those grandly jagged cliffs.

Story, styling and photography by Kirsty Gungor of loveliesinmylife.com Hair and makeup services by Victoria Stencil of Snarls Salon and Rossemary Alcantara of Salon Fifty Four, Green Bay. Makeup provided by Erth Minerals, De Pere. Modeling talent provided by Forte Modeling & Talent, Green Bay.

We’re drawn to the forest, darkening quietly as evening goldens, warm tones of autumn against the cooler hues of earth in a striking combination. We’re embracing the woman who takes purposeful, lingering steps into the wild and wonderful world of style while holding on to authenticity despite trends. Our autumn rebel is a messy hair connoisseur and an eye smudge expert. She’s an avid collector and a vintage treasure hunter. Suede and leather are her staples, fringe feels feminine and she’s happiest to lunch in platforms. She’s a woman who appreciates the undone quality of a wild spirit, the combination of raw with pretty, feminine with edgy.

Staci Yates, owner of Fiore in downtown Green Bay, appreciates a women with a style that is wonderfully unique and filled with self-expression. Fiore is an eclectic boutique, offering beautifully up-cycled, handmade clothing and accessories as well as a treasure trove of classic vintage beauties. Staci says that Fiore’s favorite fall trends include blazers, the Fiore duster, flannels and slouchy sweaters. Fiore’s looks are perfect taken from any kind of festival to a date night, even a lunch out with friends to a wedding. Fiore: Dress, $88. Necklaces $20 - $24. Bracelets $20 - $35. Hat, $45.

Down to Earth Makeup Nothing goes better with raw fall fashion than natural makeup. These looks were achieved with Erth Minerals products, a natural mineral makeup and skin care line made locally in De Pere. Owners Brenda Coughlin and Vanessa Blanchette suggest remembering the three L’s of mineral makeup application:

Later: Always wait until your moisturizer has been fully absorbed before applying mineral makeup. Little: A tiny amount of mineral makeup goes a long way – start small.

Layer: Apply the mineral makeup in sheer layers until you reach your desired coverage. Get more tips at erthminerals.com.

Red lips, pink cheeks & an air of confidence

Fall makeup trends work for all By Meghan Diemel

As we cruise toward cooler weather and start replacing capris and short-sleeves with sweaters and pants, our makeup should ref lect the change in season as well. This fall, new trends are emerging, highlighted by a return of classic favorites. Sara Miller, makeup artist and owner of Sara Miller Artistry in Green Bay, says that shades of red lipstick are trending. “I think everyone can wear red lipstick,” she states. “That’s definitely hot for fall, along with the darker berry colors.” Sun-kissed skin may have been fitting in summer for fair-skinned beauties, but as makeup artist Patricia Dufek explains, it’s time to hand over the bronzer brush. “Natural skin is going to be in – it’s bronzer no longer,” she states. “We’re going into fall and we live in the

Midwest, so we want to let our naturally colored skin shine through.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also been seeing a lot of f lushed cheeks, so that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I just got done working outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been out in the coldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; kind of look,â&#x20AC;? adds Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A fresher, lighter, really strategically placed blush on the apples of your cheeks.â&#x20AC;? For the eyes, Dufek says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about eye liner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything from winged liner, to extreme wings, to a kohl pencil just around the eyes and smudging it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; kind of a grungy-eyed look,â&#x20AC;? she explains. Miller says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also seen bronzed-tone eye shadows start to trend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so much with your eyes covered in bronze eye shadow,â&#x20AC;? she furthers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but more just accents in the center of the eyelid or the corner of your eyelid and more toward the warmer palettes, rather than the cool palettes of grays and silvers.â&#x20AC;? Dufek and Miller say that one of the great things about the trends for this fall is that they are easily done at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody can wear a red lip,â&#x20AC;? says Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You may just need to play around with a couple tones that look best on your skin.â&#x20AC;?

your style For the trending eyeliner looks, smudging kohl pencils isn’t as messy as it may seem, thanks to improved waterproof formulas that set well and have a longer wear time, notes Dufek. And while winged liner is sometimes difficult to master because it necessitates the use of liquid eye liner, there are tricks to make it happen at home. “Use a regular pencil first, trace it on and use your liquid liner over the top,” Dufek suggests. “Practice makes perfect and that way you can get used to the motion of it. It really is just playing with it and having fun. Makeup is supposed to be fun – that’s why I love doing it.” The bronze eye shadow trend can be done by anyone of any age says Miller – but be sure to use an eye shadow primer to increase the staying power of the shadow.

“The best way to keep your shadows from straying is to make sure the eyelid is clean and keep moisturizer off the eyes,” she says. “You can put it under your eyes but keep it off the eyelids. My favorite is the Urban Decay primer potion – it’s the best by far.” Whichever trend you decide to try, be confident in your decision, says Dufek. “You’ve got to own it,” she advises. “If you want to conquer wearing red lips, start small, do the same things you do always and just grow in that color and eventually you will feel comfortable in it to own it. It really is all about confidence.”

Three Lifestyle Photography Tips 1. Zoom in. In addition to wide

angle shots, make sure to capture the details. Photographing an outfit? Snap a pic of the whole look, then get close ups of the shoes, jewelry and bag. It’s all in the details!

2. Play with framing. Don’t be

afraid to let your subject run off the frame. Sometimes what isn’t shown can be more revealing. These shots are inevitably more interesting than always photographing completely centered subjects.

3. Choose natural light. Light-

ing is key to lifestyle photos and the more natural, the better. When using a DSLR camera in low light, you can also change the shutter speed and experiment with your ISO.
