Jewelry is beginning to blend in with the lifestyles of different people while jewelers like Stingl and Hempel work to redesign the rules.

Individuals are less concerned with a label and more comfortable with what works for that individual. “At the heart of the conversation we are starting to just ask: Why not?” Stingl said.

Cultural icons like Harry Styles (and David Bowie before him) shock people with their fashion choices, while also normalizing those choices. The current pandemic has also helped to change things: Zoom meetings and working from home have also been normalized.

“The emphasis is more on personal expression than appropriately for a situation,” said Hempel.

Although there are a lot of questions being posed right now, individuals are discovering themselves through items such as jewelry that are not meant for a particular

ost children dream of becoming a doctor, a teacher, or a veterinarian when they grow up. Christy Skuban always knew what she wanted to do: She wanted to be in the fashion industry.

Skuban studied fashionat the Chicago Art Institute, only to receive a scholarship to go to the Parsons School of Design in New York to further her eye for fashion. When she got there, she decided to change her area of focus to window displays.

Skuban was hired by Saks Fifth Avenue as the fashion C h r i s t y coordinator for the visual merchandising department. “I would pick the fashion and actually get into the windows and dress the mannequins,” Skuban said. It was a career that lasted over a decade.

Saks Fifth Avenue at one point was looking for a junior mannequin, and their chosen model didn’t work out. “While we were sitting in a meeting, the boss looked at me and said, ‘I think you would make a great junior mannequin,’ ” Skuban said.

The company took Skuban and sculpted her image. She eventually had thousands of Christy Skuban Mannequins throughout chains all over the country. “It was a big deal,” Skuban said.

Sometimes she would get to dress her own mannequins in the windows. “I would startle people when I moved next to one of them,” Skuban said. “It was so funny.”

Skuban quickly became familiar with the fashion industry and many designers. “I always went to the New York fashion shows, collections, and all of the runway shows,” Skuban said, “and I rubbed shoulders with a lot of the big-name designers at the time. It was quite an experience.”

Not only did Skuban get to mingle with designers and models at shows, but she actually got to work

Cronk

with some of them one-on-one. “We would have meetings and talk about how they would like their fashion portrayed in the windows down to every little detail,” Skuban said.

She met and worked with many designers, including Geoffrey Beene, Donna Karan, and Calvin Klein. Working so closely with these big-names had its perks – Skuban was invited to lavish parties, and because she was on the visual merchandising staff, she would help decorate for parties and events at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. “Anyone that S k u b a n was big in the fashion industry went to these parties and galas,” Skuban said, “the designers, models, and even celebrities at the time.”

One of the events Skuban helped with was a benefit held by Elizabeth Taylor in a hotel. Skuban walked into a room where Taylor and fashion designer Halston were sharing a table together. When she walked in, Taylor actually looked at her and gave a great big smile as though she was approving of Skuban, and then turned to Halston and nodded to him as well. “I guess they liked the way I looked,” Skuban said, “I will always remember the nod from Elizabeth Taylor.”

Shortly after, Skuban was ready for a change. She began developing her interest in visual art, and decided to go to art school in New York, working part-time at a local fashion boutique.

Now, Skuban is the gallery curator at Artisan Forge Studios in Eau Claire. Though her interest in art has grown – as she helps other artists put on shows, as well as continues to create new visual art – her history in the fashion realm remains largely a secret. But, it’s a secret she frequently reflects upon.

“It has been really exciting times,” Skuban said.

“I rubbed shoulders with a lot of the bigname designers at the time. It was quite an experience.”

hat’s in? What’s out? Taking a look around various style and fashion shops across the Chippewa Valley, it might seem impossible to figure out what the heck is cool to wear anymore. Are skinny jeans still cool? Or has Gen Z totally ditched them out the window? Are prairie dresses from Target actually cool? Or has a year in quarantine just blinded us all to what’s actually fashionable? We asked local professionals from jewelry shops, tattoo parlors, and hair salons about the top trends in the Chippewa Valley when it comes to accessorizing your style. Luckily, they had some insights they were happy to share.

TOP THREE TRENDS IN JEWELRY • Personalized/custom jewelry • Yellow gold stacked necklaces with paperclip necklaces • Stacking/layering “We are seeing a lot of whimsical, free-spirited designs that feature personalized initials, astrology, paperclips, and talismans,” said an expert from Lasker Jewelers. Consumers are tending to lean toward light and feminine designs, such as small, mismatched earring cuffs and the paperclip designs.

Teva Dekel from Williams Diamond Center mentioned that custom designs are “crazy on fire” as well as yellow-gold and stacking (wearing multiple rings together on the same finger) or layering (a shorter, choker-like necklace paired with a longer necklace to make a “layered” look).

The yellow-gold aesthetic – along with necklace styles such as the herringbone, a flexible layering chain typically seen in the yellow-gold color – are coming back all the way from the ’80s and ’90s. “This is the age where people are remembering their grandmas wearing yellow gold,” Teva said, and that’s why he thinks these trends are popular now.

TOP THREE TRENDS IN HAIR STYLE • Shag/curtain bangs • Balayage/bright colors • Blunt bobs Even hairstyles are nostalgic: “Hair's biggest trends in the last few months have been bangs, balayage, and blunt bobs,” said Marie Rasmussen, the owner of Estilo Salon, “we have seen a lot of ’70s and ’90s vibes.”

Along with women’s cuts, men’s mullets are making a comeback as well.

Marie thinks that these nostalgic styles are resurfacing because people are looking for peace, which was a huge movement in the ’70s.

TOP THREE TRENDS IN TATTOOS • Original pieces • Black and grey florals • Black and grey American flag Holly Stro from Riverside Tattoo said “most everybody that comes in gets an original piece.” Lots of women have opted for the black and grey floral tattoos with shading or stippling in them, while she has noticed that a lot of men have been getting black and grey (and sometimes colorful) American flags on the upper arm.

It’s hard to say what’s going to trend in the future, and why the trends are even “trending” now. But, according to local fashion experts, the way we look has a lot to do with how we feel and behave, how we treat ourselves and others.

LOOK OVER TO fern westover FOR T H E l AT E S T j e w e l r y T r e n d s locally crafted, colorful clay earrings offer bold style for everybody WORDS:

F

ormer Eau Claire resident Cat Leonardson is making a bold statement with their collection of colorful polymer clay jewelry.

Leonardson created their Fern Westover jewelry line in January while looking for something to do during quarantine.

“Over the pandemic, I wore more and more earrings,” Leonardson said. “I did a bunch of research and bought a bunch of supplies and started doing it. And I really like it, so I figured I would sell them.”

Leonardson quickly realized there

GRACE

was a lot to be learned about the market and trends surrounding selling earrings and jewelry in general online. “My sales were really good when I first started,” they said, “but summer is just slower in general for sales.”

But Leonardson is still going strong with their most recent “Spooky Season” drop right in time for Halloween. Many statement pieces can be found in this collection, from otherworldly souls and ghosts to jack o’ lanterns to skulls.

But, as spooky season draws to a close, Leonardson looks to the hol-

SCHUTTE

iday season in their next collection lines. The artist has several collaborations lined up for the coming months and is looking to incorporate different mediums such as beads, woods, and even bone.

“It’s hard for me to commit to collabs sometimes because I have so many individual ideas for myself,” Leonardson said.

Check out Leonardson’s goods at both The Local Store and Barstow Beauty in Eau Claire. Their jewelry is also sold online at fernwestover. com and monsteraplant.co.

“I did a bunch of research ... and started doing it. And I really like it, so I figured I would sell them.”

Get Great Skin, One Aqua Glow Facial At A Time – at The Rose Room WORDS:

REonna

huettner

DOING WHAT YOU LOVE IS ONE THING, but being able to do what you love while being your own boss takes working to a new level. Single mom Amber Lynn has spent years trying to discover her true passion, and – after working multiple jobs that didn’t quite seem to fit her style – Lynn decided it was time for a change. “I kept thinking to myself, ‘There is something else out there for me, I know it,’” the Eau Clairian said. And not long after, Lynn started The Rose Room (316 N Barstow St., Suite #2 ) as a one-woman business that over time worked to provide a wide range of treatments including aqua glow facials, lash extensions, dermaplaning, micro-needling, and teeth whitening. Wondering what the heck an aqua glow facial is? You’re not alone. It’s actually one of their most popular treatments. It uses a machine that suctions out pores to gently deep clean the face before applying serums into the skin that help supply moisture and add volume to the face. To finish it off, a hydro-jelly mask is laid on the face to give the skin a nice, dewey glow. “I just want to get in there and get it done, “ Lynn said. “It’s not like traditional face massages that just cleanse the skin. It deep cleans.” She recommends to all her customers to get facials – or any of the other treatments – done about once a month to keep themselves looking healthy and fresh. Lynn is not only excited about the future of her business, but is excited to see the impact it has on her two small girls. As a single mom running her own business, she hopes that they are inspired and empowered to do anything they set their hearts and minds to. The Rose Room is open Monday through Friday from 9am to 9pm. To schedule an appointment, call (715-205-7648), email (roseroombeauty@gmail.com), or go online (tinyurl.com/34tdy967). For other information on the salon, find Lynn on Facebook (RoseRoomLLC) and on Instagram (@roseroombeautyco).

Unstyled. Unkempt. Unruly. As hair salons were shut down in 2020, many people began the year with once-tidy hair and left it with messy manes. Similarly, like most events in 2020, Hairica – an annual fundraiser and hair show aimed at raising money for veterans – was cancelled. This year, though, it’s back and better than ever. Amanda Rochester and Nichole “Coli” Burke, owners of Atmosphere Parlour & Quarters (420 Water St.) plan to keep the lockdown looks of 2020 going with their comeback event, Hairica: The Resurrection. “We’re tipping our hats to law enforcement and our healthcare workers with the direction we’re taking this year’s theme,” the pair shared.“Because let’s be serious: heroes come in many forms, and 2020 called upon all of them.” Proceeds from the event go to Hometown Hero Outdoors – a nonprofit organization that provides military veterans, service members, and law enforcement officers with outdoor opportunities to promote healing and healthy relationships. Hairica, a.k.a.

Hair for America, is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 13 at The Lismore Hotel, 333 Gibson St. Doors open at 7pm, and the hair show begins at 8pm. In addition, spectators can look forward to raffles and dancing afterwards. Be hair or be square. –Natalie Derks
