FASHION PSYCHOLOGY Fashion Psychology is an applied and newly academic discipline that studies color/style and its effects on human behavior.

Fashion Psychology Success was launched after Dawnn Karen, a runway model, observed a discrepancy while working in the Fashion Industry. She noticed that as she and other fellow models sashayed down the runway in designer garments there was a need to project confidence for the photographers at the end of the runway. She could sense some of the Models insecurities as they removed their makeup and designer garments after the shows. The insecurities could not be corrected by wearing the garments, the clothes temporarily hid them. Karen realized that the psychology behind fashion was very real.

After avidly researching fashion psychology, she noticed that the field was not entirely recognized globally. She also became cognizant that the fashion industry and psychology operate as two different entities.

After finishing graduate school, she formed Fashion Psychology Success. Fashion Psychology Success joins fashion and psychology to create a unit.

The company’s sole purpose is to assist clients on an individual and a corporate level by bridging the gap between perception and reality, in other words “styles” clients from the inside out. The company upholds its purpose through a full selection of services in sequential order which include counseling, fashion styling, fashion designing, and branding. Her clientele includes Business Owners, Career Women and Men and recent college graduates and college students.

Please call 646-504-1730 today for your 30 minute free consultation. We look forward to servicing you.

ELIZABETH ANNE As women we love stumbling across a pair of shoes that work their magic on our confidence levels while making us look fabulous. Sometimes we sidestep the practical aspect of footwear if they make us feel good (beauty comes with sacrifices at times). If you’re the type of woman who desires comfort, practicality and knockout style in one pair of beauties, then Elizabeth Anne Shoes are a must-have for your collection.

This ‘Purse ‘n Boots’ footwear is made from leather and the name refers to the clever way in which it secretly hides patented pockets where you can store away all your important items. There are places for you to slip your Blackberry, iPhone, makeup and cash, without anyone having a clue of your hidden agenda. Some of the latest boot styles in the range also contain a pocket for your passport.

The world’s first purse for you feet.

These boots are a style item and practical purse in one, meaning you can leave your clumsy handbag at home when you’re painting the town red. Elizabeth Anne Shoes come in a variety of designs to fit your individual style. There are riding and cowboy boots (perhaps when you need to channel your inner Daisy Duke), casual boots for those downtime days and fashion boots for crucial events when trend-setting is your invisible fashion accessory.

The Two Step

The Two-Step is a trendy leather cowboy boot with pockets for your cell phone, credit cards, passpor t and more.

SPOTLIGHT Ever since I was a child I had passion for sketching and drawing not only fashion sketches but almost everything. During my last 2 years of business school in Syria, I discovered that I really wanted to switch majors to fashion school. My parents didn’t agree to that so I decided to go to a workshop and see how things worked. I fell in love with the designing and execution of dresses. However, what they taught me wasn’t enough. Due to the current circumstances of Syria, we had to move to Cairo.

That was the best thing that ever happened to me, because I applied at the Italian Fashion Academy and plan to graduate very soon.

I always dreamt of owning and running my own fashion house. I know it is a very difficult industry and the journey will be very long, but loving what I do will make it much easier and certainly more enjoyable. There aren’t any famous International Egyptian fashion designers. My dream is to become the first to set foot locally and internationally.

ZEINA HOSNI italianfashionacademy.com

ZEINA HOSNI

My first “Mini Collection” of dresses are black. I have always been inspired by coco Chanel’s ‘little black dress’ . Black, for me, is an incredible source of inspiration. The world associates black with elegance, luxury and mystery.

ZEINA HOSNI

I believe simplicity and minimalism makes the dress more exotic and sumptuous.

This is why I tend to be as simple and uncomplicated as possible in my designs.

Your life and social calendar is much bigger than that. Every small and large upscale idea comes to life in the mind of David Tupaz, his hands are the perfect conduit to the electricity from within. Evening wear, ball gowns, bridal attire, fitted power suits and so much more come to life from his talented hands.

The fashion hungry will not let him leave his current home, Las Vegas. Former first lady Imelda Marcos had him first and kept him busy with fittings for many seasons before Hollywood came knocking. Maybe over a fine wine in your private jet he will tell you his Vera Wang stories.

I am Bella Angelina. My modeling career has been nothing short of a full length glamour film.

At the age of 16, an old friend of mine introduced me to a modeling agency down in Tijuana, Baja California. I had always been so intrigued with fashion photoshoots.

I graduated high school in San Ysidro, CA at age of 17.

I knew at that point, that if I wanted to live the life I wanted, sacrifices needed to be made.

With three jobs and a growing modeling career, my free time went out the door. But all of my hard work paid off.

bella angelina

I ex- panded my modeling career throughout the SanDiego area andwith endless networking, I was confident that I would attract opportunities on my own.

And I did.

bella angelina My ambition is to give younger girls something positive to look up to.

I have a family and many young cousins in Mexico I want to made proud.

Their pride in me is what keeps me going.

Especially my mom and dad, they have been my biggest fans.

I have learned to filter both the positive and negative feedback to make the best for myself as a model.

We live and we learn.

That’s how it is.

I am now 19yrs old and have been featured in many shows, events, photoshoots and magaIsrael Garcia zines in thePhotography San Diego and Long beach areas.

I’ve always loved how we have the capacity to create. So why not create a dream for myself and others?

here’s a saying that says if you feed a man a fish he will eat for a day but if you teach a man to fish he will eat for lifetime. After spending years working in the Dominican Republic and Haiti co-founders, Jackie King and Melanie Hunley decided they wanted to do something more to not just feed families today but give them the tools to empower them to rise out of the poverty they were living in.

They combined their experience in business, their love for fashion and their heart for the people in Haiti and the Dominican Republic to start a company that would combine all three.

This was start of Liberate Apparel, the idea is to Liberate women and create the opportunity for them to rise above poverty. They have designed a women’s collection that is handcrafted with quality intended to bring out every woman’s beauty.

Liberate Jewelry is 100% handmade in Haiti going directly towards providing living wage jobs and opportunities for parents. Liberate Apparel has the purpose of giving back a portion of everything sold to empowering women with opportunities to help them rise out of poverty.
