HAVE EXCITING NEWS TO ANNOUNCE—AND IT IS MOST
definitely bittersweet. After 12 years of playing a very active, hands-on role as CEO + publisher of Tribeza, I have decided that the time has come for me to step back from day-to-day operations. Over the next month, a transition will take place as Mark Fisher assumes the publisher role starting with the May issue. He will be responsible for the strategy and direction for all of Tribeza’s editorial and sales activities across print, digital, events and the newly created Tribeza Shop. We are excited to welcome Mark because he brings so much broad publishing expertise to the team. His experience runs the gamut, from founding an audio magazine, Stereophile, in the 1990s in Santa Fe and then growing its audience nationally and internationally, to the 1998 relaunch of The Absolute Sound in Austin, where he worked for 11 years. In 2009, Mark moved to Europe, where he ran two major publishing houses. As CEO of Bauer Media Group’s Moscow operations and later at Burda Media France, Mark oversaw the printing and publishing of literally hundreds of different magazines, both in print and online. Between periods overseas, Mark has lived in Austin for years at a time. In fact, he was living in Austin when Tribeza first launched, in 2001, and most recently returned in 2019, when he retired from Burda Media France. Mark will be reviewing everything we do in an effort to help us put the best practices in place across all of our operations. Mark can be reached via email at mark@tribeza.com. Please join me in welcoming Mark to the Tribeza team. It has been my absolute pleasure and joy to be at the helm these past 12 years, and I am excited to see where Tribeza goes next. I will remain on the masthead as the CEO and a principal shareholder. Thanks for reading! Best regards,
George T. Elliman CEO + Publisher

KRISTIN’S COLUMN
Welcome, Spring By Kristin Armstrong Illustration by Elaine Almeida
A
FTER A YEAR OF HUNKERING DOWN IN A PANDEMIC—
capped off with a homebound week of ice, snow, power outages and no running water—I think it’s safe to say we are beyond ready for a new season. Spring cannot spring forth fast enough. I notice my own season-shifting habits. Fresh flowers in my grocery cart on a regular basis. Red wine consumption tapering off. Pestering Brad, my landscape architect, with texts asking when he has time for me on his schedule. Trading my charcoal-goth nail polish in favor of pink toes and pale-pink fingers. Moving my ritualistic morning coffee and journal time to the screened porch. Thinking about dresses, and the progression from boots, to booties, to wedge sandals and flip-flops. Dreaming about having tan feet, and where and how and when I might be able to walk on the sand by the sea. Humans are seasonal creatures. I try to remind my friends and clients of this regularly, especially the ones who tend toward the frenetic. Yes, it is important to mind the calendar and the clock as needed to maintain employment and responsibilities. But deeper than that, our inner timekeeper aligns with the ancient days, when time was kept by the moon, the sundial, the stars, the tides and the changes in weather. Back when a fortnight was something other than a video game. Is it any wonder we silently resist and reset the alarm clock, the updates, the notifications, the Google calendar? We are designed to have a sense or a feel for time and flow with it, not be subjugated by it. That is precisely why a shift in seasons is more than a change in temperature or attire. It is an attitudinal shift in mindset and a corresponding
14
APRIL 2021 | tribeza.com
change in pattern or routine. It is the difference between honoring circadian rhythm and wearing blue light glasses as you work late. It is why organic fruits and vegetables are not available all year long, or tasteless when you press the issue. It is why some relationships serve only a particular season of life, and then resonate no longer. It is intuitively knowing when to make soup, and when to prepare gazpacho. When we try to fight this, we pay. Do we really want to eat peaches in December? Or pears or oranges in June? Do we really want to pretend that the mommy friends we made when our kids were little must match the grown-ass women we are today? Or that the marriage that worked when you were 20-something works when you are 50-something, if you haven’t done any work? Or that the well-worn patterns and programs of family systems serve us when we step into the fullness of Who We Are Today? That we want to keep dancing that familiar dance when we no longer even like the song? Ideally, please, my darlings, we are all growing. Sometimes this resembles a seed, where the growth is silent and unseen, dark and beneath the surface. Some seasons feel dormant, like winter, buried underneath the earth and snow. Our branches stark and sharp and barren. A season of waiting. Other seasons we flower, we bear the fruit, we yield our harvest. We prepare the banquet table, and we dine. This is what it is to eat gazpacho in August. To have hot-pink toenails in the sand. To have a partner whom you want to devour on the kitchen island of your empty nest, at long last, without shame or interruption. To spend a holiday with your family of origin and consider it a veritable celebration. To journey miles or spend late nights in deep conversation with sacred friends and not feel the need to explain yourself. To be truly happy for the good fortune of another’s expansion and happiness and abundance, because you are so focused on the gratitude for your own. To inhabit your badass self, with fullness and freedom and without apology, that is the season we prepare to enter. We have been through a long winter, my friends. It’s time to welcome spring. Close your eyes and tilt your beautiful face toward the sun. And when you are ready, open your eyes.

BR ANDS CAITLIN MOCIUN
“Caitlin Mociun is a jewelry designer in NYC. Her boutique in Brooklyn is quite literally my happy place. She has such a unique voice, and I love her designs.”
KICK PLEAT
“I don’t shop a whole lot, but when I do, it’s usually at Kick Pleat. Wendi [Koletar] always stocks a great mix of luxe basics with some fun statement items. It’s a one-stop shop.”
Carlisle Top in White Silk Organza
MIRANDA BENNETT
M A S H A P O L O S K O VA
With 15 years of retail experience in the industry, it’s no surprise that Masha Poloskova has become a local style expert and an influential voice in the ever-growing world of sustainable fashion in Austin. As founder and owner of the high-end MOSS Designer Consignment shop, and a vintage store named Garment, the fashion entrepreneur notes that Austin has become a global community and creative hub when it comes to personal style. —VANESSA BLANKENSHIP

Marni Karate Trouser
“While Take Heart is my go-to for gifts of all kinds, Miranda Bennett is next door, and her boutique is just such a pleasure to shop. Everything is handmade in Austin, and the cuts are flattering on everyone.”
Tokio 2-Tone Checkerboard Sunglasses at ByGeorge
PRODUCTS TRENDS
VADA SUNGLASSES & JEWELRY
“Vada by Katie Caplener can really do no wrong. Her jewelry is drop-dead gorgeous, and her newest line of sunglasses are like jewelry for your eyes.”
STATEMENT SLEEVES
“If you tend to gravitate towards black and neutrals like I do, a good way to still have fun with dressing is a voluminous sleeve.”
Lido Flat Sandals at Neiman Marcus
COLOR/PRINT
BOTTEGA VENETA SLIDES
GUCCI Multicolor Striped Sweater at MOSS
“Bottega Veneta is definitely having a moment right now, and I love their simple woven flat slides. Comfortable and easy don’t always mean chic, but these really check all the boxes!” LOEWE PUZZLE BAGS
“A feeling of optimism is slowly starting to emerge, and our collective style will reflect that. Wearing color and vibrant prints are an easy way to express this optimism to the world.”
Rosetta Getty Leopard Peak Lapel Jacket & Pants at Kick Pleat
“The micro-versions in poppy colors are so fun. I recently purchased a medium size in black, and it will be my go-to bag every day this year.”
SUITING & OVERSIZE PANTS
Medium Tan & Pink Bag at ByGeorge
“Suits are making a comeback! Casual suiting in fun colors are some of my bestsellers right now. I also love the new silhouettes with pants. An oversized trouser is comfortable and easy to pair with a simple tee.”

PRODUCTS NOAH MARION HATS
“I love Noah Marion hats because they’re redesigned classics from the ground up, with the modern wearer in mind. Every hat is made from scratch here in Austin. They’re also the ultimate sustainable piece of any wardrobe because they can be reshaped endlessly throughout their life.”
Pinch Front Beaver Hat
FOR FRANCIS VINTAGE SWEATSHIRTS
“The most exciting thing to come out of this past year are perfectly worn vintage sweatshirts from our in-house collaboration, For Francis, available at the South Congress Noah Marion store.”
Percy Buttondown
NOA H M A R ION
For Noah Marion, inspiration largely comes from a bygone era, one he refers to as “my grandpa’s time.” The designer’s love of all things vintage, heirloom and nostalgic is evident in his untreated leather goods, retro beaver hats and new apothecary line. Since establishing his namesake brand in 2006, Marion has expanded from a storefront/studio on South Lamar to a shop in the heart of the South Congress shopping district. The serene, minimalist space, which opened in late February, also carries exquisite offerings, from painted desert landscapes to gossamer vintage dresses. —LAUREL MILLER

ESBY LINEN PANTS
Terese Pant
“Esby and linen just go hand in hand for me. The pants are timeless and classic. Investing in a quality piece of linen can last you decades and never go out of style, no matter how you pair it up or down!”
TRENDS ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIAL
“I’m very excited about how thoughtfully some designers are looking at the past to revive products in a respectful way—it gives me hope there will be a decrease in the throwaway culture we’ve become accustomed to. I’m hoping to see more natural linen and other natural fibers and plant-dyed clothing like Miranda Bennett or Esby.”
Tudor Prince Oysterdate Watch
FROM TOP:
Maison Martin Margiela Sweatpants, Church’s Dubai Oxford Shoes and Dries Van Noten Desa Volker Jacket at ByGeorge
BUDDING BRANDS RETURN
“I’m expecting some budding brands to rise from the proverbial ashes. There’s a big hole left in my heart from all of the great shops that moved on to other things in the wake of coronavirus.”
BR ANDS BYGEORGE
“I just love the personal connection the employees at ByGeorge offer when you go in and peruse, as well as their really awesome collection of vintage watches and stocking of high-quality, hard-to-find items.” SERVICE MENSWEAR
“Service Menswear is great, everyday casuals. They’re one of the last truly local men’s brands left in Austin.” AIMÉ LEON DORE
“Aimé Leon Dore is setting the pace for reactive male fashion and brands in the country, and I look forward to having other brands follow suit.”
ELEVATED LEISUREWEAR
“After such a turbulent and often isolating year filled with sweatpants and staying home, I predict either a super push for elevated leisurewear or a complete turnaround, where everyone is really buttoning it up, bringing their best and showing off all that pent-up sartorial angst.” tribeza.com

The FOUR FASHION INNOVATORS BEHIND GROUNDBREAKING DIGITAL VENTURES THAT FOCUS ON STYLE, SUSTAINABILITY AND SHOPPING BY LAUREL MILLER & RILEY REED

KAKI GAINES IS A WARDROBE STYLIST AND FOUNDER OF EDIT/MODE, A FASHION MARKETPLACE
Kaki Gaines
/ EDIT/MODE
that offers stylist-selected pieces and provides a unique way for shoppers to zero in on f lattering items that suit their taste and lifestyle. “I am especially drawn to how styling merges fashion with psychology,” Gaines says. “I have always had an inherent interest in both topics, so personal styling was a very fitting way for me to combine them.” The site uses a series of refining filters—such as body type and the occasion an outfit is for—so women can narrow their range of options. “Thinking through everything psychologically that goes into choosing an outfit for a certain situation has always been fascinating to me,” Gaines adds. In launching Edit/Mode, Gaines enlisted Jessica Thompson’s expertise to cultivate an identity for the site. In one example of her contribution, the art director and founder of branding agency AUDIENCE commissioned an illustrator to create figure drawings to represent body types, adding a softness and human touch to the digital space. Thompson says the experience of shopping with Edit/Mode “helps women develop an understanding of why certain pieces work for them, how to shop smarter, how to buy less and still have a wardrobe that feels interesting and full of options.” The innovation lies in the intention—to give women ownership, understanding and assurance in what they wear and how it defines their style. Over time, those who utilize Edit/Mode’s selection tools find that they are more fluent in shopping, so much so that their personal narrative—laced with confidence—shines through in every piece they put on. Says Gaines: “I really appreciate that I can constantly be surrounded by beautiful objects while also helping women feel great in what they wear.” editmode.us

Lana Ashb Rowder / SELFIE STYLIST
BEING VOTED “BEST DRESSED” OF HER “TEENY-TINY” HIGH SCHOOL’S
graduating class in Giltner, Nebraska, didn’t immediately propel Lana Ashby Rowder into a career as a stylist. But, she says, “I’ve always loved fashion.” After graduating from nursing school in 2009, Rowder moved to Austin to work at St. David’s Medical Center. By 2015, the married mother of two was spending her days off styling friends and family. “My passion lies in helping people,” she says. In February, Rowder—who now works as a school nurse and COVID-19 vaccinator in between finishing her certification as a personal stylist with the New York Institute of Art and Design—launched her non-gender-specific mobile app, Selfie Stylist, which allows her to interact with users, providing styling advice with the option for a video chat that might include wardrobe editing and outfit curation. The next time you’re in need of feedback about what to wear for an important job interview, photo shoot or first date, simply upload five images of yourself “in your best outfits” to Selfie Stylist. Within 15 minutes, Rowder will respond. The app is free to download; a selfie session is just $10, and video chats are priced at $25 during a soft-launch special. “I really got into this when my friends and I started having kids,” she says. “We all felt a bit uncomfortable in our new bodies, and the clothes we used to wear didn’t quite suit our new lifestyle. The app was created so that everyone could have the help of an expert, at an affordable price. When we look good, we feel good.” selfie-stylist.com

Chelse Nordke / SERIES
AT 28, CHELSEY NORDYKE’S BACKGROUND IN FASHION READS LIKE
that of an industry veteran: In 2014, the native Austinite and self-taught designer launched the label Spire, a collection of minimalist silk basics that netted her an award at the line’s Austin Fashion Week debut. Two years later, she landed an e-commerce job with Outdoor Voices while continuing to work on Spire. Shortly after the debut of her second collection, Nordyke hit pause to regroup. “I started realizing the environmental impact of producing new garments. The fashion industry continues to manufacture without necessarily thinking about where clothing and waste materials end up. The product pileup I was seeing in the closets of my favorite social media accounts made me think: Why don’t we just connect this excess to their audiences? If you purchase secondhand items, you’re helping to reduce material consumption and landfill waste, as well as save money.” From her desire to reduce the fashion industry’s carbon footprint came Series, Nordyke’s tightly curated online resale platform. She partners with local designers as well as sartorially savvy celebrities, content creators and stylists to provide shoppers with exclusive access to items pulled from their closets. Giving back is also essential to Series’ ethos. Nordyke and her partners have donated funds to favorite charities, including Planned Parenthood and the Know Your Rights Camp. In 2020, she partnered with style site Who What Wear to give 100 percent of proceeds to the Movement for Black Lives and the California Fire Foundation. Nordyke says storytelling is really what’s at the heart of her business: “We’re reselling garments that have been pre-loved by their first owners and encouraging customers to give them a second life.” shopseries.co

Loza Ibar / reFIND
WHILE CONSUMERISM, COMPETITION AND FA ST FA SHION HAVE
wreaked havoc on people and the planet, there is a growing bevy of brands and savvy shoppers looking to reverse course without forgoing impeccable design and fabulous style. ReFIND founder Loriza Ibarra hopes to connect the two with an app that serves as a virtual marketplace where sustainable fashion brands and customers can build meaningful relationships while fostering equitable production practices and reducing waste. “I believe sustainability is an intentional mindset that revolves around how we choose to contribute to consumerism. I believe it is about being intentional about where we put our dollars because it runs much deeper than the item at hand,” Ibarra says. “We have the power to create positive demand and influence change by changing the way we use our resources and consume. That begins with what we buy, who we are purchasing from and deciphering when it is actually necessary.” Fueled by her passion for building community as a means for positive impact, Ibarra is hard at work on the launch of the app. Her focus now is on fundraising, building a following of users interested in sustainability and intentional shopping, and hearing from them about their fashion values. Brands that qualify based on their sustainable practices will be able to share immersive shopping experiences like 3D designs and sizing tools on reFIND, while users seeking designs that align with their values will have myriad options at their fingertips. The app, scheduled for a beta launch in June, will also present advanced findings and data that are meaningful and digestible, so the community is empowered to make informed decisions while shopping. Through education, ingenuity and transparency, Ibarra hopes reFIND will provide an atmosphere that allows brands and customers to grow together—stylishly. refind.shopping

Elyse Holladay helps women experience new dimensions of personal style to uncover deeper connections with the clothing we wear WORDS AND PHOTOGRAPHS BY RILEY REED

W
E’VE ALL STOOD IN FRONT
of a closet full of clothes and felt as if we had nothing to wear. It’s how we feel about the garments we possess and put on our bodies—and what they say about our lives—that is at the heart of Elyse Holladay’s styling practice. “There is this idea of a perfect closet, but it’s a myth,” says Holladay, who is based in Austin. “We think we need the right stuff, but what we’re really longing for is the feeling of satisfaction, this feeling that our wardrobe is finally complete and finally feels like us. We all have such different lives, bodies, cultures, dreams, goals, values, aesthetics—there’s no one definition of a perfect wardrobe that can apply to us all.” The formula of factors that create a sense of style—and the ways clothes allow self-expression and shape our outlook—contains multitudes. These elements are both visible (color, cut) and tangible (texture, coverage), but also intangible and impossible to see. Consider the history of an item of clothing: Is it new or has it been worn before? Is it expensive? Is it handmade? Was it produced sustainably? What was its human cost? “Clothing may be superficial—on the surface of our bodies, literally—but it touches every aspect of our complex lives,” Holladay says. “Clothing relates to our bodies through body image, fitness and health, gender expression. It relates us to the earth due to overconsumption, waste, pollution and human rights issues in the [fashion] industry. tribeza.com

Clothing may be superficial—on the surface of our bodies, literally—but it touches every aspect of our complex lives.
It relates us to each other through presentation and representation, racial and class implications, and financial purchasing power.” Holladay, who has impressive experience in engineering, product management and design, carved out space for her title, personal style coach, because she wanted to help clients express their inner selves through their outer appearance. Her passion comes from her own experience with bad shopping habits, clothing she didn’t like and frustration with the fashion industry. “My relationship with clothes was a baffling and even painful hurdle I could never seem to jump,” Holladay says. “Finally, I decided it’s time to change that. It took years, but I finally managed it. I did it by building systems, like wardrobe inventories, seasonal assessments and everyday practices that helped me anticipate and manage my style—and shopping.” Sustainability as a principle underlies every aspect of Holladay’s work and philosophy—and it is twofold, because of the toll fashion can take on the outer world as well as on our inner selves. The industry is pollutive and exploitative; it also encourages women to experience unnecessary, unsustainable anxiety around beauty and style. To combat these forces, Holladay strives to transform her clients’ relationship with clothes through intentionality, accountability and healthy habit-building. To achieve this goal, she seeks to better understand her clients’ shopping
behavior by asking them to define their values, creating a vocabulary for what their style looks like and finding clarity on what matters most. Holladay elevates mindset over aesthetic by guiding clients through a process that determines their core ethics, money stories, self-expressions and purchasing practices. She encourages productive, minimal shopping that bolsters a positive self-image. Building personal style that feels connected to your identity is relevant to a deep desire to show up as your true self in the world—a better world. Holladay’s objective is to help women make confident choices that reflect their values while expressing their own unique personalities. “This is the main thing I do with clients that makes me different from a personal stylist,” Holladay says. “I don’t shop for you—I help you define style clarity on your own terms.”
On Instagram, Holladay posts images of her life and her own choices as well as mantras like these and other insights into her coaching philosophy. Follow her @elyseholladay.

Taste for Adventure A BE AUTIFUL FUSION OF GLOBAL FARE MAKES TILLIE’S AN E XOTIC DESTINATION IN DRIPPING SPRINGS By Karen O. Spezia Photographs by Holly Cowart
Joining Tillie’s earlier this year, chef Andy Knudson is whipping up captivating plates featuring American classics infused with international flavors.
I
CLOCKED JUST 25 MILES FROM MY DOOR-
step to my table at Tillie’s, but it felt much farther. Not because the drive was arduous—it wasn’t—but because I was transported, as if I’d been whisked from my Austin bubble to Italy or India or Vietnam or any of the other far-off lands that inf luence this enchanting restaurant in Dripping Springs. Located on the eastern edge of the Hill Country and less than an hour’s drive from downtown Austin, Tillie’s is a nearby exotic destination thanks to its truly global concept. Part of the Camp Lucy resort, the restaurant is owned by world travelers and antiques collectors Whit and Kim Hanks, who decorated the dazzling space with treasures from their international journeys. Chef Andy Knudson has also been inf luenced by a variety of cultures and has cooked in marquee kitchens like Restaurant Daniel in New York City; the Little Nell in Aspen, Colorado; and Restaurant Guy Savoy in Las Vegas. When you step inside Tillie’s, it takes your breath away. Housed in an ancient Vietnamese town hall that was shipped in pieces and reassembled, the restaurant is a cacophony of international objets d’art: colorful tiles, intricately carved beams, glittering chandeliers, wooden

statues tucked in alcoves, velvet and leather banquettes, and a sleek marble bar. The only cohesive theme is beauty, and it’s one of the prettiest designs I’ve seen in a restaurant. For outdoor dining, a stylish patio overlooks a tranquil pool illuminated by glowing torchères and framed by Hill Country vistas. But all this splendor shouldn’t distract from the real reason you’re there: to eat. And Chef Knudson will capture your attention. He’s worked with notable chefs like Daniel Boulud, Bobby Flay and Marc Forgione but returned to his home state of Texas to join Tillie’s in early 2021. Already, he’s drawing quite a crowd. In fact, the restaurant was at capacity the weeknight we dined there.
The restaurant is housed in an exquisite ancient Vietnamese town hall that was shipped in pieces and reassembled in Dripping Springs.
The seasonal menu is described as American Nouveau cuisine, infusing familiar dishes with innovative international f lavors. It’s anchored in America but spans the globe with dishes that borrow from Italy, Spain, France, Japan, India and beyond. For starters, we devoured the sublime ricotta cavatelli, tender homemade pasta tossed with sautéed maitake mushrooms in a white wine and crème sauce. My discriminating Italian husband practically licked his bowl clean. Inspired by Mexico, the fluke crudo was spiked with a spicy salsa macha and garnished with cilantro, lime and peanuts. The public’s appetite for the ubiquitous Brussels sprout never seems to wane, but those at Tillie’s really are special. Charred and glazed with chile jam, they’re brightened with orange segments, toasted almonds, garlic and a generous toss of fresh herbs. They’re a game changer. Seafood is one of Knudson’s specialties, and the Pastrami Spiced Scottish Salmon is a delicious mashup of flavors from New York to the British Isles. There’s also shrimp and grits, a Deep South mainstay given a local twist with cornmeal ground at nearby Barton Springs Mill. For meat eaters, Knudson’s modern take on traditional French cassoulet replaces duck confit with seared slices of Rohan duck breast. Lamb chops are paired with Indian madras curried lentils. And Green Circle chicken, which has its own cult following, is elegantly roasted with potatoes and served with a side of salsa verde. For dessert, the buttermilk panna cotta topped with winter citrus was the perfect light, creamy finish. On weekends, Tillie’s hosts a brunch that features fried chicken and waffles, smoked salmon, bacon hash and fresh-baked butter biscuits. The cocktails at Tillie’s are just as impressive. The Louis’ Gold Standard Margarita is almost as glamorous as the ambiance, with its gold-lacquered lime wheel shimmering beneath the chandeliers. And the timeless Rob Roy was simple perfection. The wine list is terrific with enough local, domestic and imported choices to make everyone happy. And if you decide to imbibe—or make a staycation out of your visit—book one of Camp Lucy’s lovely rooms, ranging from cozy bungalows to treetop suites. Dining at Tillie’s is to take TILLIE’S a culinar y spin around the CAMP LUCY world—all while keeping your 3509 CREEK ROAD boots f irmly planted in the DRIPPING SPRINGS (512) 894-2633 Texas Hill Country.
