Duchess of Cambridge: Style File: The Kate Effect

eing the wife of Prince William is no easy task, as Duchess of Cambridge every move Kate makes is scrutinized, especially when it comes to fashion. As soon as Kate is spotted out and about in a cute dress of coat, what’s being called the “Kate Effect” takes place, where everyone wants what Kate’s wearing and it becomes sold out. Who could forget the Blue Issa dress she wore to announce her engagement , that sold out in hours, or the number of Reiss dresses, continuing to keep sales flowing for the brand.

ne of the many great things about the Duchess’s style is that she manages to mix high and low brands effortlessly for a more approachable look. She has been spotted numerous times wearing British favorites like Topshop, Temperly London, Max Mara, and Alexander McQueen. She mixes Topshop, Zara, and Hudsons with high fashion brands like McQueen.

her dresses for charity events and balls, she wears her clothes with great poise. Her continued appearances have her looking her best often, but what is quit shocking and extremely humbling is that we see her repeat great dresses or coats, which allows her to relate to the general public giving them another reason to adore their Duchess.

ate has impeccable style and always looks timelessly classic while staying chic., even while being pregnant her clothes don’t disappoint. While carrying her first son, George, she was always well dressed keeping people wondering what she would wear next. Now with the news that she will be expecting her second child , all eyes will be on Kate to how she chooses to do pregnancy style this time.

The Duchess Does Outerwear:

For the Autumn/ Winter season there’s no better outfit staple than a great coat, Kate opts for different styles each time from Pea coats, to trench coats, to military inspired jackets. She knows that there’s no better way to polish off an outfit than with a great piece of outerwear. We’ve picked Kate’s best outerwear looks to help inspire your cold weather style this season. Take a cue from Kate and polish off your look with a great statement coat or jacket.

Today it seems the mood in

fashion is more relaxed, it’s all about the effortless cool girl attitude. This theme has transitioned into accessories, that offer an “urban-esque” appeal, in which you don’t have to live in the city to appreciate. When it comes to footwear the biggest trend right now is sneakers, seen everywhere from the runway to the streets, in all different styles from slip ons to lace up - a staple in every urbanites wardrobe. Another hot style in is the bootie, especially the Chelsea boot, giving an instant cool factor to any outfit.

This season we are seeing a va-

riety of shoes on the street. The overall aesthetic of menswear has become more relaxed, even though we are still seeing loafers, and oxfords they are styled more casually for those not heading to the office. Another favorite has become the updated sneaker and not ones just worn for working out these sneakers are made in interesting materials, like leather making them acceptable outside of the gym. Overall the most common shoes men are wearing, loafers, sneakers and boots. The materials used are leather and suede. These shoes add excitement and fun without looking ridiculous.

This article compiles the top 3 trends we chose for the upcoming season that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to wear.

#1 The Coatigan

Sweaters are always staple pieces when it comes to the fall/winter season.

This season we have seen lots of different trends incorporated into knitwear products. According to WGSN for fall winter 15/16 its going to be all about the coatigan- like a cardigan sweater but heavier and made to wear as outerwear. For fall 15 they are predicting lots of different takes on this commercial product, many of them incorporating some of the trends we saw on the spring runways; from neutral to bright colors , prints & patterns, belted & oversized silhouettes, fringe, and even a take on the active/sportswear trend. This trend offers lots of wear-ability and versatility making it a hot item in the commercial market. There are many different versions of it to fit all kinds of consumers. It is a classic product that never goes out of style and allows its-self to be reinvented each season to keep up with the trends. 36

Sport Luxe: To give cardigan coats a directional sportswear aesthetic. The silhouettes become oversized and elongated. Finishing details include oversized collars, zippers, and toggle fastenings. They come in a variety of color palettes. This sweater makes a great finishing tough on any minimalist outfit, polishing it off with an edge. For inspiration on how to pull off this style look to London’s favorite it girl, Cara Delvigne who does this look effortlessly. It’s very , model off duty and super chic. The aesthetic fits with her edgy, urban style.

Casual Fringing: For the younger mid 20’s market all over fringing is popular, it fit’s into the boho, grunge themes with fur inspired looks .These products consists of looped yarns, and fringe over boxy silhouettes. This is a trend that is very popular right now and looks like it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. Fringing on jackets and sweaters has been seen all over the streets , and the runways. This is the perfect wardrobe staple for any boho girl, with a rocker edge. For inspiration look to super model and rock and roll princess Georgia May Jagger, who pairs her fringe jackets with a great pair of skinny jeans, and boots and you’re good to go. DEKKO MAGAZINE

Emerging Trends for the New Year Cont. #3 Pastels

This winter itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about a softer aesthetics. Designers want you to ditch the

black and join in on the trend by sporting softer, paler, pastel hues for a more romantic feminine feeling. In the past these colors were only thought of for spring time, but this past season the runways were full of softly colored pieces giving us a reason to start wearing color sooner.

The colors of choice for the season are : cream, gray, pink, lilac, mint, beige,

blue, yellow, and periwinkle. The softer hues serve as neutrals for the season allowing them to be paired with one another, or an all over monochromatic for a simplistic chic look.

Stylists to watch : M e l a n i e pac e

Standing proud at five feet tall, Melanie Pace’s petite frame packs in the spunkiest of personalities and rocks the boldest of fashions. The stylist and owner of Melanie Pace LLC may be “pocket-sized,” but she would be noticed in the largest of crowds for her amazing sense of style and her award winning smile! Surely her personality has a lot to do with her success, but it is her keen eye for fashion trends and business knowledge that has brought her to where she is today. She is truly a Jane-of-all-trades when it comes to fashion, from celebrity styling and personal shopping to on-air commentary and editorial features, there isn’t much that Melanie has yet to do in the fashion world. 42

FashioN

After working at Anthropologie as an Apparel Manager, Melanie gained the knowledge and expertise to move forward with her dream of wardrobe styling and personal shopping. She quickly became a fashion expert in the Orlando area, working for stores like Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdales, and styling Orlando’s Mall at Millennia’s Fashion Week. Melanie landed her first celebrity client after hitting it off with Giuliana Rancic, the host of Fashion Week. After pinching herself, Melanie grabbed her favorite pair of stilettos and boarded a plane west to L.A. where, for two weeks, she guest-styled Giuliana for Fashion Police, E! News, and Giuliana and Bill reality show. From this opportunity, many of Melanie’s clients and projects popped up outside of the Orlando area, putting her on the map in the fashion industry as an innovator of fashion and a savvy business woman. Whether it’s a high-profile celebrity for a red carpet event or a recent college graduate looking to update her wardrobe, Melanie gives each of her clients the same amount of respect and attention, making her easy to work with and definitely easy to love! From advice for girls looking to make it big in the industry to explaining what it takes to be a stylist, Melanie gives us a peek into her world of everything fashion.

“My motto has always been ‘Fake it til you make it and it’s just about figuring it out as you go.” DEKKO MAGAZINE

Fashion

Age: 29 Current title/company: Owner of Melanie Pace – Everything Fashion, started in 2006 Educational background (school, training, majors, degrees, etc.): Fashion Merchandising major and business minor from Florida State University, Internship at Anthropologie in Visual Merchandising. What was your first job out of college and how long did you hold that position? My first job out of college was as an apparel manager for Anthropologie. I worked in that position for about a year. Does what you studied in school apply to your current job? If not, where did you learn the skills you use at work? I definitely say that what I learned at Florida State applies to what I’m doing now. However, we learned a lot about buying, planning, and visual merchandising rather than styling. Being a stylist wasn’t a popular career choice and is less corporate than some of the more common job options, so a lot of what I do now has been a learned process. The skills I use every day aren’t necessarily ones that everyone can learn. Being a stylist is about having great taste, being a people person, and knowing what to do and what not to do with different personalities and lifestyles. I think it’s also really important to keep up with current 44

DEKKO MAGAZINE

trends as well as keeping up with local retailers and building relationships with managers, owners, and showrooms. Keep every business card, stay in touch with people, send thank you notes, be an aggressive business woman. I never really did a formal internship or had a mentor in the fashion industry, but I was lucky to have strong business women around me and have learned by watching them. My motto has always been “Fake it ‘til you make it,” and it’s just about figuring it out as you go. Tell us how you went about starting Melanie Pace LLC. Did you always know that you wanted to run your own business? I don’t necessarily think that I always knew I wanted to run my own business, but I knew that the idea of having the same boss every day and going to the same workplace every day almost made me feel sick. I have more of a salesperson personality, in that I can’t have the same job everyday, and that’s what styling is. It’s almost like the job came to me, instead of me going to the job. I met some really amazing, high-profile clients—my first job was styling for The Ryder Cup in 2006. I had a budget of

$20,000 to shop for one client, and I got a little taste of what a stylist needed to do. I thought, “Wow! This is really amazing,” and I felt myself shine. From there I knew I wanted to turn it into a career. I started working part-time at some high-end boutiques around town and gained that clientele until I could do it full-time. You used to work for Anthropologie as the Apparel Manager. What did you learn from your experience in that position that has helped you with running your own business?

It taught me how to understand the way a person shops. The way a person walks through the door, whether they take a left or a right says a lot about their personality and what kind of shopper they are. For the personal shopping part of my business, that’s very important. I learned how people see colors, as far as rearranging and organizing people’s closets. How to fold jeans, fold tops, organize a rack, etc. Managing people really taught me how to adapt to a wide variety of personalities. Whether it’s styling a client, on the set of a TV show, shopping in the mall, every single person is different. Being a manager helped me learn how to react and handle different kinds of people.

In what ways have your blog and social media made an impact on your career and business? I am so huge on social media—I think it’s so important in an entrepreneurial career! Whether it’s Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, or Twitter, it allows you to connect with so many different people around the world. Social Media creates a legitimacy for your brand, and it also can change other people’s lives. I may post “5 Ways to Wear a Jean Jacket” on my blog and somebody may take that information and use it in their everyday lives. You could even get your next big client from Twitter, so it’s important to keep all social media channels up-todate and engage with your audience. Plus, it’s a great way to get free advertising. How would you like to see your career/ business evolve over the next year? Five years? In the next five years, I want to focus on building my brand. I want to be on the Today Show as their style expert, be a wardrobe stylist for high-profile celebrities, style fashion spreads for mainstream magazines, and continue to create and brand my onair TV personality. I want to have a fashion school! I could go on and on! What is the best part of your job? What is the most challenging part? The best part of my job is that it’s not really a job and every day is different. I don’t have a set schedule, and that’s what really makes me thrive. I don’t have the same job or boss everyday, I’m not sitting at my desk from nine to five, clocking in and out—that would drive me nuts! The most challenging part is that I can never let it go—it’s more of a lifestyle than a job. I can never stop thinking about it. I have a freelance, independent business, and I am always working for the next job. That’s the most challenging part—I can’t ever really let it go. You never know from whom, or from where, your next job may present itself.

Can you describe a little bit about what goes into your position? What’s your dayto-day work life like? Organization, hard work,and determination. Making sure you get up early and go to bed late. I wake up early, eat breakfast, and go to the gym. That’s what really starts the day for me. Then I’m following up on emails and getting organized with my assistant and interns, figuring out how to do everything we need to do in a small amount of time. Our days go by so quickly, and before we know it, it’s already 8 o’clock. My life depends on the day, whether I’m styling a photo shoot for a magazine, traveling to different cities, working with a big department store, preparing for fashion week, shopping with a client, or filming a TV segment. It’s about making each day as productive as it can possibly be. You have worked with some pretty big names early on in your career, including Giuliana Rancic, Jimmy Choo, Bloomingdale’s, and Neiman Marcus. How did you handle marketing and gaining a clientele when you were just starting out?

It’s all about being prepared, even over-prepared, when you’re meeting with someone. Do your research. Always have your business cards and promotional material to hand out. It’s also important to hire a team that you trust for events, so you’re able to do meet and greets when the event is over. You never know when you’ll meet an amazing contact. Giuliana Rancic was our celebrity host for The Mall at Millenia Fashion Week here in Orlando, and we really hit it off. She kept me on her radar, and I followed up with her assistant on many occasions. From there, Giuliana hired me to come out to LA for two-and-a-half weeks to style her for Giuliana and Bill reality show, her everyday E! News show, as well as Fashion Police. That was an amazing experience and really put me on the map, as far as celebrity styling. My relationships with Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s, and Jimmy Choo all started from personal shopping.

They understand the benefits of what a personal shopper can provide to their business. I strongly recommend introducing yourself to every store manager and PR person—it really does make a difference. What advice do you have for other girls who want to make it in the fashion world? The best advice I’d give to girls who are trying to make it in the fashion world is that it’s important to realize and understand that it’s not all glitz and glamour. There is a lot of blood, sweat, and tears that go into working in the fashion industry—especially as a freelance wardrobe stylist. It takes a lot of hard work and a lot of hours. It’s not something you can just jump into. I have been very lucky and very blessed that I got to where I am without having to be someone’s assistant or intern, but that isn’t usually how it works. You need to be prepared to get coffee, schlep bags, and do whatever it takes to get to where you want to be. It’s important to find out what you want to do early on and then make it happen! Don’t make excuses for yourself about why you can’t go here, why you can’t go there—make it happen. Once you get a taste of success, you can really do anything. Best moment of your career so far? Styling Giuliana Rancic in LA was the best moment of my career so far. Being on set and seeing your work on TV is a feeling like no other. What advice would you give to your 23-year-old self? Wear sunscreen, wear a hat and stay out of the tanning bed—especially living in Florida! Take the risks earlier in life; don’t wait for opportunities to come to you. Seek them out and don’t be afraid to ask for help. DEKKO MAGAZINE

BEAUTY SOS: HOW TO MINIMIZE PORES Is there a way to tighten large pores?

While lines and wrinkles give our appearance character, large pores can make our skin look dull and uneven. “The size of your pores is genetically predetermined and so there is little you can actually do to make them physically smaller,” explains Dr Darren McKeown. However, there are tricks to make them less obvious... Excess oil and dead skin can make pores look bigger. “Try using a cleanser containing salicylic acid which is a beta hydroxy acid and therefore able to penetrate through the oil at the surface to get to the bottom of the pore and give it a thorough clean out,” says McKeown. Cleansing and exfoliating devices such as the Clarisonic help to unblock the pores. To camoflage pores instantly, opt for a moisturizer or primer with the light-reflecting powers. “In the clinic a course of IPL (intense pulsed light) treatment may also help reduce the apparent size of the pores,” adds McKeown.

Dekko Recommends:

Cleansers: Murad Clarifying Cleanser, £25 (1), removes dirt, make-up and excess oil without stripping the skin and leaving it feeling dry. Cleanse in the shower as the steam will help open pores. If you are using a cleansing gadget, opt for a creamy cleanser, such as Clarins Extra-Comfort Anti-Pollution Cleansing Cream, £25, (2) as it’s gentler on the skin. Pore Minimizers: To make pores look smaller and mattify skin, try Dior Pore Minimizer, £28.50 (3). It blurs pores without blocking them up. 1.
