Your Guide to Fashion on Cape Cod

Letter from the Editor
A
s people have gotten to know The Current Quarterly over the past year,
many have asked where I got the inspiration to start this little purse-sized magazine. The truth is that the magazine was born out of frustration – frustration that consumers were not supporting local boutiques because of misperceptions about available styles and cost; when the reality here on Cape Cod is that we have a large number of locally owned clothing stores that are affordable and carry clothing for every woman’s aesthetic. Why is this important to know? Because the large majority of your money spent at a locally owned store stays right here on Cape Cod. Money spent at nationally owned chain stores – apart from wages paid to local residents – goes right over the bridge and does not recycle back into our community. It is particularly important to keep this in

mind as we enter into the biggest shopping season of the year. Shopping locally is the gift that keeps on giving! And for those of you who don’t have a favorite local store where you buy gifts, we have put together an extensive collection of products available locally to serve as your guide to shopping for everyone on your list.

Runway Rundown By Amanda Converse & Emma Childs Illustrations by Amy Szep
Ever hear a fashion buzz word and wonder what the heck the stylists are talking about? Here is your guide to the trends of the season.
Forest Green
Blush
Amethyst
Cranberry
Cinammon
Camel
Print: Plaid

Day to night, casual to fancy, either or any way, plaid, checkers and tartan patterns are more relevant this season than ever before. Plaid is still showing up in a classic 50s skirt or a 90s style flannel shirt tied around the waist. But the reason it deserves a spot in your wardrobe is because the geometric print can now be found in a sophisticated ankle length pant, a soft and drapey blouse, and even and evening gown.
Material: Tweed
Perhaps it is the popularity of the TV series Mad Men or the ever present influence of Chanel that has made tweed fabrics so popular this winter; but regardless of the reason, tweeds are showing on the runway and in your local boutique in a big way. Tweed is a rough, unfinished woolen fabric that is often used to create a chevron, striped pattern, herringbone pattern. Show it off in separates or rock a whole suit either way, you’ll turn heads.
Detail: Pleat
Pleats have been around for years, but now the trend goes further than schoolgirl image and enters the realm of femininity in a figure-flattering manner. They provide a new detail to skirts, and movement to a look while keeping it light. Knife, accordion, or superfine they show a different style. Pleats are so versatile that they can be worn heading to the office and then a girls’ night out showing off your style every step of the way.
Neckline: Funnel Neck
The upcoming winter trend of the funnel neck is a new take on the classic turtleneck. It follows the idea of a cowl neckline but has a little more structure to it. The neckline does not go up as high therefore it is not as drastic; however it still provides warmth. In big chunky sweaters or heavier coats to bundle up in, the funnel neck still provides a chic and stylish look that will become a new classic.

Cat Eye
T
Day
by Emma Childs Makeup by Samantha Welch
he cat eye eyeliner style is the perfect blend of retro style with modern flair. With a simple flick of a brush you change your style into a chic and classic look. It’s magic in the form of make up! But this winter season not only is it a dressy look, it can be taken to everyday wear. By keeping the line on the thinner side and the wing closer to the eye, it can be worn for any occasion. For daytime, keep the rest of the makeup minimal and clean. If you are feeling a punk rock vibe that day, take a smudger brush and blend away to give an effortless smoky effect. Then when you are ready to go and have some fun at night, just extend the line, make it a little thicker, line your waterline and you’re ready for anything the night has to offer. Want to push the boundaries even more? Try substituting the usual black liquid eyeliner with bold colors to add a pop of fun to your makeup.
Night
The cat eye is great at transforming not only your style but also the actual eye. For women with slightly down turned eyes, the wing of the cat eye style can help the eye appear more open. For women with smaller eyes, the extension of the lash line with the liner can make the eye appear fuller and longer. Not only can it alter the size and direction of the eye, it can also distract from any puffiness on the lower lash line if it remains clean. No matter what eye shape or type you have, the cat eyeliner can transform any look.

Wardrobe Want Winter Coat
A
winter coat is something you wear every day for four months, so choosing the right one that will last, reflects your style, and flatters your body is an important investment. Finding the right winter coat has gotten easier as innovative designs and more relaxed style rules have evolved so that it is possible to find one coat for all of your needs.
46
First, look for one that fits into your life. If you have a corporate job, a dress coat will serve you better. If you are a stay-at-home mom, look for one that is more casual and a darker color. As a general rule, look for a coat that fits correctly (not tight), but has enough weight to keep you warm (not oversized), and always try for clean lines at the shoulder, in the body, and at the sleeves. • Curvy? Try a belted coat to accentuate your shape, and avoid looking bigger than you are. • Petite? Choose a style that hits about an inch above the knee so you don’t get swallowed up in the coat. • Fuller Chest? Always go for a single breasted coat and avoid a belted style. • Small Chest or Boyish Figure? Create some curves with detailing on top or a belted waist. • Bottom Heavy? Consider an A-line style or a coat that is flared at the bottom. • Long Waist? Find a coat with an empire waist to shorten your waist and elongate the legs. • Short Waist? Many lengths will flatter, such as at the hipbone, below the hips or mid-calf.

STYLE PROFILE Alison Kelly Alison Kelly graduated from Barnstable High School in 1999, and went on to study jewelry design at an affiliate institute of Parsons abroad, and then fashion design in Florence, Italy. She ultimately graduated with a BFA in Fashion Design from Mass College of Art and Design. Since college she has had a clothing line in some form, and in 2006 she was a contestant on Project Runway. Here’s what she has been up to since. CQ: You rebranded Dahl in 2012, can you tell me how that came about? AK: I was married in 2011 and designed my wedding gown and seven mismatched bridesmaids dresses in blush pink. This mini-collection literally became the catalyst for a new bridal and party dress line for Dahl. I hadn't wanted to touch the bridal industry before that, because I found it stale and full of clichÊs. I asked myself: why shouldn't the fabrics and silhouettes used in bridal be comparable to ready-to-wear or high-end fashion? Then all of a sudden, weddings were becoming much cooler, and people seemed to be having a lot of fun with them. Not all women fit into the traditional bridal molds of style and aesthetic, and I felt that I may have something valuable to offer them. CQ: Who/what would you say influences your work? How do you get inspiration for your designs?
53
AK: Vintage gowns and textiles, iconic pioneers in fashion like Isabella Blow, Vivienne Westwood, Grace Coddington, artists such as Erte, John Singer Sargent, Marilyn Minter, Shae DeTar, walking on Long Beach in Centerville, the Brewster flats. Aside from all of that, real women inspire my work. Working one on one with a client to create their ideal silhouette is very influential and an invaluable tool in terms of getting to know what women are wanting in a dress, what their idea of beauty is and how they want to celebrate it.
takes to produce at home, selling at extremely lower costs than what seems fair, creates a conundrum and a bit of a fast-fashion nightmare. CQ: And the most rewarding? AK: I was never one to fantasize about the perfect white wedding, so I was shocked by how much I enjoyed planning the artistic details of my own celebration. I get a charge out of working with clients on color schemes and fabric choices, to lend a hand in bringing their vision to life. The biggest gift is when I receive photos from a bride or client; to see my dresses come to life as characters in someone else’s story can be heartwarming and encouraging.
CQ: Who is your target customer? AK: A bohemian, a free spirit, a shameless romantic, a bride wanting to adorn her maids in mismatched dresses or vintage-inspired frocks, the CQ: What advice would you give people who are no-fuss bride, the non-bride bride... interested in getting into the field? CQ: In your opinion, what is the most challenging AK: I believe that experience is everything. If you're interested in becoming a fashion designer thing about being a fashion designer? take classes, learn to sew and draft patterns, intern AK: I am not your typical fashion designer for a designer. You can begin by getting the sewing seeing that I run a boutique business. I tend to book I wrote, The BurdaStyle Sewing Handbook, work directly with my clients and produce on a relatively smaller scale; everything is sourced and which is full of projects for the novice to the produced domestically and fairly - which comes advanced sewer. I studied fashion in college and at a cost. I find the biggest challenge in the fashion my one regret was not taking business classes, industry is sustainability. The US makes only 2% which would have been extremely very helpful of it's consumer fashion, with most design houses now. Study many aspects of the field and see where producing overseas for a fraction of the cost it you end up.
