A couple weeks ago we did a photo shoot with the talented <a href="http://annaziemniak.com/" target="_blank">Anna Ziemniak</a> for our client Shyra Ely-Gash and her online boutique <a href="http://www.tutzglam.com/#!home/mainPage" target="_blank">TutzGlam</a>. (Thank goodness for Janelle Cissell who is THE BEST when it comes to keeping us together on shoots :)<br />
<br />
We had the absolute privilege to shoot at the Madame CJ Walker Theatre in Indianapolis, Indiana. If you aren't familiar with Madame CJ Walker or what this theatre means to our city let me tell you that we wouldn't have such a fabulous city or such a rich history without either one of them. Her story is one of pure self-motivation, determination, and passion. <a href="http://www.madamcjwalker.com/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> for a bit about the beautiful Madame CJ Walker. For now, enjoy some of the incredible details of this historic theatre and of the fabulous day we had shooting :)<br />

I never went to prom for many reasons. One my "boyfriend" at the time and I were on the outs...ugh - just brings me back to all that high school craziness. But I digress...the other reason I didn't attend prom was because my mother was a single parent. A lot of my paychecks from my minimum wage fast food job went to help with home expenses. Not because I had to, but because I wanted to help my family. The money I would spend on prom helped put food on the table and was saved toward my college quest at Ball State University. Looking back I was pretty bummed about not experiencing what my other friends told me so many stories about. I missed it. But don't feel sorry for me, I'm using this experience to help others.<br />
<br />
In the past, Aesthetic Design Style House partnered with a school district here in Indianapolis. We collected gently used dresses and they would be sold to young women at low cost ($15-$20). Lots of young women wouldn't take assistance because they didn't want to look poor or didn't want to be seen taking a hand out. Aesthetic Design Style House wanted to take the stigma away from this event but we felt we needed to do more. We needed to help more people. We wanted this to be a community project, not just one school district. So this year we are introducing our Prom Pop Up Shop. Aesthetic Design Style House will collect donations of formal dresses, shoes, and accessories and give them away (while supplies last) to ALL young people no questions asked. <br />
<br />
The date of the Prom Pop Up Shop is April 13, 2013, right before the start of prom season. We will hold our shop at our showroom, 1125 Brookside Avenue in the Circle City Industrial Complex from noon to 4 p.m.. We will have hair and makeup workshops, giveaways, and other surprises for all that want to swing by and celebrate this precious time in a young person's life.<br />
<br />
But we also need your help. We need you to donate your gently used formal dresses, shoes, and accessories to our cause and you can do so easily. We will have donation days at our showroom February 19 and March 19th at 1125 Brookside Avenue (Circle City Industrial Complex) We also have four satellite donation stores: <br />

<br />
Please help us spread the word about the Prom Pop Up Shop so we can make this a special time for young people who may not be able to afford to go to prom. I wish something like this was offered when I was in high school.

For the past few days almost everyone throughout the continental United States has had a taste of warm weather; makes us long for the upcoming Spring. You know what I love most about spring - shedding your cold weather frocks for new spring garments. This spring will be more monochromatic than in the years past.<br />
<br />
Contrasting colors have hit the runway like a storm. Oscar, Ralph, Jason, and others (look at me talking about the greats on a first name basis. One can dream can't she?) dipped their pens in hues of white, black, and primary colors to bring us one of the hottest trends of the fashion year.<br />

Stripes, houndstooth, and solids are a staple in garment culture. I quite prefer it. It's not a secret I love black and white with a splash of red...and oh how I love a good houndstooth pattern. But when you pair contrasting colors with A-line maxis and a tailored vest, I go insane.<br />
<br />
One of the fashion houses we represent, Studio NTK, picked up on contrasting colors prior to the new trend reports. Our designers are always leading the way in fashion. I tend to think the majors always mimic the minors!<br />

Studio NTK demonstrates this spring trend with how this look is classic yet modern. This is just a sample of what's available in their spring line. Studio NTK comes in a wide range of sizes; XS-XL and 4-18.<br />

I'm almost embarrassed to admit I only just recently learned about an incredibly famous and talented Costume Designer of the 30's and 40's Gilbert Adrian. A very brief bio from Answers.com tells his story as this: "<span class="hw">Adrian, Gilbert,</span> 1903-59, popularly known simply as Adrian, fashion designer, b. Naugatuk, Conn. Educated in New York City, he created designs for Broadway shows until 1925, when he moved to Hollywood. As studio designer at MGM studios (1928-41), he created glamorous clothing for such stars as Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, Jean Harlow, and Katharine Hepburn, his opulent designs influencing haute couture throughout the 1930s and 40s. Adrian was known for his extravagant, draped evening gowns; hooded dresses; embroidered, padded evening jackets; and elegant suits. He was creative director for MGM's <i>Wizard of Oz</i> (1939), one of his most acclaimed productions; the same year he married actress Janet Gaynor. From 1942 to 1952 he ran a fashionable Beverly Hills salon."<br />
<br />
With each click through some of the images on my computer I fell more in love with every design. How could I have not ever known of this visionary? Every single piece I found I would put in my closet and wear right now - every single piece!!!! Enjoy this collection of images I found and I will let you be the judge :)<br />

First, I want to say I am EXCITED to be back with ADSH. I have missed everyone, but had a much needed rest and had to step back for a moment. Whew...it's good to be home.<br />
<br />
Since before HG Wells' 1898 version of "War of the Worlds", our society has been fascinated with the unknown, undead, and things that go bump in the night. Almost every weekend you can go to your local movie theater or turn on your TV and be mesmerized by nonhuman creatures. This intrigue for all things creepy has crossed over to the fashion houses of New York, Milan, Paris, Tokyo, and independent designers and boutiques.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Thierry Mugler Alien Perfume Print Ad</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
You can see the unearthly influence in Thierry Mugler's Alien perfume campaign from the molded bodice of the regal golden gown to the alien/cat orbital makeup to her hair resembling a crown; a queen among mortals. It reminds me of the female costumes of the 1980's film "Flash Gordon". </div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Women of the 1980's Flash Gordon Movie</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Perhaps when you turn the pages of your favorite fashion rag, you see Rick "Zombie Boy" Genest, the fashion model that is tattooed in zombie like markings on the majority of his body. This enigma has been used in various ad campaigns, runways, and was even featured with the diva Lady Gaga in her music video, "Born This Way". <br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Paris has recently celebrated monsters in fashion by holding a traveling exhibit at the La Gaîté Lyrique. <br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kKN6RgcEPMk/UPbRrWr-qRI/AAAAAAAABV0/xMB8Vc804D0/s1600/blog+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kKN6RgcEPMk/UPbRrWr-qRI/AAAAAAAABV0/xMB8Vc804D0/s1600/blog+5.jpg" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A Traveling Exhibit Now at La Gaite Lyrique</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
But you dont' have to stray far to see the influence of the unknown. Independent designer and boutique for plus size women, Domino Dollhouse, was recently featured on Joe Zee's reality fashion show, "All on the Line". The brand has released their new Astralnauts Collection, featuring the little sparks of light in the sky. <br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-q31CKyf7ngU/UPbRyjUOyrI/AAAAAAAABWA/qlsnycMEqeM/s1600/blog+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-q31CKyf7ngU/UPbRyjUOyrI/AAAAAAAABWA/qlsnycMEqeM/s320/blog+6.jpg" width="228" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Domino Dollhouse's Babydoll Dress in Galaxy $89<br />
(only available in 4X - all other sizes sold out)</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
I look forward what the next trend will be. Oh yes, there will be a new one. Soon aliens, zombies, monsters, and any unearthly phenomenon that comes to mind will be old and something new will be on the horizon. But in the meantime, there are many who want to make fashion an out of this world experience.<br />

Apparently in her costuming days she created this awesome fit for "Treasure Island" and there it sits in its own little world (electronically protected as well it says) for all to enjoy :). <br />
<br />
Found this awesome necklace artifact I thought I'd throw in as well. I mean I almost tried to break the glass to wear it right then it's so freakin' amazing!!!<br />

<br />
I wanted to share this amazing little vintage find and I discovered right before Christmas. It seems to be a one-size-fits-all and can be worn two different ways. It is pure mink (which I usually don't go for but this piece had me at hello) and the perfect length to add with jeans or over that LBD. <br />
<br />
Also we have to show our new t-shirts which are set to be printed within a few weeks. My team and I tried them out at a huge event held here in Indianapolis and had awesome feedback - we'd love to know what you think. <br />
<br />
To end our day I want to leave you with this thought from Grace Coddington: "When I arrived at British VOGUE it was fun going to the fashion shows-a different kind of fun from how it is now. We weren't there to be seen or to be fabulous. Everybody was kind of anonymous, there to look at the clothes." Let's get back to this :)<br />
<br />
Until Then,<br />

Helllllllloooooo 2013!! Boy am I glad to see you!!! With this new year, clean slate, and renewal comes new knowledge and new changes in each of our lives. <br />
<br />
One of my very favorite things to do is read - that is in between running my business, being a wife, being a mom, and maybe cleaning my house every so often :) When I do make the time to read (usually between quarters of some football or basketball game, in a waiting room, waiting on a client, or cuddled on the couch while my girls watch BRAVE again) I love the feel of a book in my hands. Now don't get me wrong all of those electronic readers are fab for traveling etc. There is just something about the excitement and anticipation of ordering something you want so badly, having it arrive, and unwrapping that little something just for you. There is nothing like print - nothing! Books, magazines, etc. there is no substitute for print especially in fashion - except for being in front of the actual collection of course!<br />
<br />
Over the holiday I treated myself to 'GRACE: A Memoir' in which Grace Coddington, whose official title is still Creative Director for VOGUE, shares her most amazing 71 years of life, love, and fashion with the world. As one may know Grace is always very shy and reserved yet when 'The September Issue' came about we did find she that may be all of the above but what she definitely was NOT was a doormat. Still one of the only people in the world able to tell Anna Wintour what she really thinks or what she doesn't like, Grace has an air of humility and loveliness to her that you cannot help but fall in love with on so many levels. <br />
<br />
AND THE STORIES!! Oh the stories she recalls about her life and the Photographers, Models, Designers, and Stylists she has had the honor of working with and being able to truly call her close friends is simply incredible. <br />
<br />
You don't even need to be a lover of all things fashion to appreciate this great work. Do yourself a favor and try something new by picking up this bright orange masterpiece and escape to another world if just for awhile :)<br />
<br />
Until Then,<br />
<br />

What’s the first thing you think of when you hear “Broad Ripple”? For me, all of the boutiques with their fashionable pieces of clothing come to mind. Each boutique is so different from the next; each one full of clothes you won’t find anywhere else. Strolling through Broad Ripple today I discovered a few new boutiques I’ve never shopped before that I think you should check out. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://redemptionstyle.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Redemption</a> is a fashion forward boutique that was full of reasonably priced outfits for summer. Plus, it’s located inside of an old house, so the squeaky hardwood floors and clothes in closets adds character! </div>

<a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/shop-tibet-indianapolis" target="_blank">Shop Tibet</a> caught my eye with adorable sundresses on a rack outside. Once I stepped inside I didn’t want to leave! Walls of purses, scarves, dresses, and other knick knacks intrigued me. <br />

Personally, my go-to boutiques are <a href="http://broadripplevintage.com/index.htm" target="_blank">Broad Ripple Vintage</a> and <a href="http://www.pitaya.com/index.cfm" target="_blank">Pitaya</a>. Walking into <a href="http://broadripplevintage.com/index.htm" target="_blank">Broad Ripple Vintage</a> is like stepping through a time machine back into the sixties. The smell of incense welcomes you. Ceiling to floor racks of clothing. A variety of accessories to choose from. What’s not to love? This boutique should be on the top of everyone's list when visiting Broad Ripple. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Lastly, <a href="http://www.pitaya.com/index.cfm" target="_blank">Pitaya</a> is full of beautiful and trendy clothing, reasonably priced, and good quality.<br />
<br />
There are tons of other boutiques in Broad Ripple that I didn’t have a chance to check out. With July being Independent Business month, it would be the perfect time to shop at all of the boutiques and local businesses that Broad Ripple has to offer!<br />

I say this because many many lines for plus size women are just kind of "thrown together" almost as though we are an afterthought. The message from retailers to the plus size market has seemed to be "well, larger women have to get dressed in the morning so I guess we have to make something for them". <a href="http://www.thelimited.com/" target="_blank">The Limited</a> has come to realize that by taking the time to create collections with thought and craftsmanship the sales will come (like if you build it they will come). Finally it seems that other retailers, along with <a href="http://www.thelimited.com/" target="_blank">The Limited</a> are catching on and realizing that plus size women have a HUGE stake in the consumer market and we will spend money to feel and look good - maybe even more money on average. </div>

Speaking of averages 60% of American women are a size 12 or larger. Uh, hello, why would it take a strong business mind so long NOT to cater to this market? Well, it wasn't something that was mainstream or fashionable or "the thing" to do. As we know, unfortunately, there is a double standard when it comes to men and women. Men can have Big and Tall stores and that is cool - there is no stigma around a man shopping at a Big and Tall store. On the other hand if we women shop at a plus size retailer then some feel they have to go in with a hat and sunglasses so no one knows they are there. NOT FAIR and we have to change it. Along with changing our own mindset we have to change retail. Easier said then done but it is happening - better late then never. </div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
The LA Times published an article back on October 24,2010 titled 'The Plus Size Mystery in Women's Fashion' regarding plus size women longing for fashions of the same caliber as their smaller counterparts. Here is an excerpt that blew my mind:</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
"In a time when retailers are struggling to turn a profit, the disconnect between fashion and reality is a puzzle. The fashion world's emphasis on tall, thin and young women is frequently cited as contributing to poor self-esteem, anorexia and bias against the overweight.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
What's more, a key finding of a 2009 report by Mintel, an international consumer market research firm, found that plus-size shoppers, especially younger women, want fashions that match those sold in smaller sizes.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
But that's a big request with a small chance of success, experts say. The proportions, economics and aesthetics of plus-size fashion virtually guarantee that fashion — fashion of the trendsetting, desire-stoking, magazine-filling kind — will always favor the thin.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Creating stylish clothing for larger women isn't as simple as making bigger sizes of existing styles, says Rosemary Brantley, chairwoman of fashion design at the Otis College of Art and Design.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
"There are a lot of styles that won't size up," said Brantley, a designer and former model. Pattern makers can more easily enlarge or shrink proportions for sizes 0 to 10 because the body's proportions expand in a more universal manner in the lower sizes.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
"The human form is nothing but a bunch of curves," Brantley said. "Those curves get very exaggerated as one gets bigger. The more exaggerated the curve, the more seaming, the more shaping, more darting, more fitting and more expense."</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Again, um okay. But we are willing to pay for it so make it!</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I'll end on a personal note - after having three daughters I am not a size 8 or even a 14. I'm happy with myself and my family AND my husband thinks I'm beautiful just the way I am. I make money and I'm in love with fashion and all it encompasses. More retailers need to wake up and realize all of the profit that is slipping away each day they are not catering to the plus size woman :) So, thank you, again, to <a href="http://www.thelimited.com/" target="_blank">The Limited</a> for starting a trend which I hope will prevail in the future. </div>

I was very excited when Christy from <a href="http://www.fashionwrapup.com/" target="_blank">Fashion Wrap Up</a> tweeted about me to Public Relations Rep Elizabeth Friedland. I had no idea why. I was just honored that someone thought about me as an influence in the plus size industry in the state of Indiana. I want to start the blog by thanking Christy for the hook up! (xoxo)<br />
<br />
<br />
Elizabeth contacted me and let me in on a little secret I’ve been wanting to share for WEEKS now. I’m not a great secret keeper, but I’m proud I kept this in.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.thelimited.com/" target="_blank">The Limited</a> has remodeled its Castleton Square store here in Indianapolis, IN. The grand opening celebration weekend is set for this Friday, June 8th through Sunday, June 10th with a ribbon cutting that Friday morning at 10 a.m.. Well what does that mean for plus size women in the state of Indiana? It means The Limited will start carrying it’s sister plus size line, <a href="http://www.eloquii.com/" target="_blank">Eloquii</a>, in its' Castleton Square location as a store within a store! YAY!<br />

</tbody></table>
I’ve have been honored to give a review of the new location and Eloquii’s summer and fall lines. Eloquii has been out for a little while now, but now The Limited is selling the line in six stores around the country. Castleton Square was chosen for the Indiana market.<br />
<br />
<br />
So much is going on with The Limited this week and I’m going to share all my experiences with you through the <a href="http://www.rubyleonne.com/" target="_blank">Ruby Leonne</a> blog and the Aesthetic Design Style House blog. We will share the ins and outs of the grand opening, interview some exciting people in The Limited and Eloquii family, and more! Also, we will be holding a contest for a gift card from The Limited. Keep posted everyday this week for more details on our contest.<br />

On Monday, the city of Indianapolis banded together to walk for justice. People gathered from different races, different backgrounds, religions, genders, ages, and classes to display unity. The Trayvon Martin case isn't just about race or class, its about how we treat each other as human beings.<br />

A little boy left his parent/step-parent's home to buy some treats from the local convenience store. He had no idea that would be his last treat...his last journey. When he said goodbye to his family and friends, he had no idea that would be his last positive interaction for his life ended in confusion and turmoil. <br />

A few months ago I was doing some research on the fashion community in Chicago. As a city, they have so many resources that can be used to help you learn and grow not only in Chicago but anywhere. <br />
<br />
I happened upon an awesome amazing wonderful site called <a href="http://www.littleindependent.com/" target="_blank">Little Independent</a>. Of course this attracted my attention since our whole life over here revolves around our own tag line: an independent fashion revolution. I thought it was just meant to be that I found this site. <br />
<br />
As I perused their site the more excited I got (I'm weird I know and I'm okay with that)! It is so nice to come across people and concepts that are in line with what your own thoughts and passions are but with an individual twist that only the creator could have thought of. <br />
<br />
That creator happens to be Lesley Tweedie, Co-Founder and Owner of Little Independent. See her in action <a href="http://www.littleindependent.com/about" target="_blank">HERE</a> as she explains all about her "baby". She and her husband founded Little Independent in 2010. Their inspiration? A lonely Bike Helmet! <br />

Their web site tells their story like this: "My husband and I own a neighborhood bike shop in Chicago. Over the course of many months, we watched a bike helmet gather dust on the sale rack. We marked it down…then marked it down again. We showed it to customers we thought might like it. We put it out for the sidewalk sale. The helmet still wouldn’t sell. Sure, it was a bit over-sized and more expensive than others, but I knew someone out there would be happy to have it for a great price. I wished there was an easier way to reach that person.<br />
<br />
I found fellow storeowners have the same issue. Even those that have e-commerce websites sometimes find themselves with an item that lingers too long. The available listing websites where I could reach a wider audience had high fees and complicated set-up processes. There was no inexpensive and simple-to-use online marketplace just for independent stores like mine."<br />
<br />
What an awesome simple logical concept!!! Breathing new life into an item that was destined for the clearance bin or even worse- having to bring it into my own home - because it wouldn't sell :) As Lesley said there had to be someone out there who was a perfect match for her helmet and she came up with a way to provide an invaluable service. <br />
<br />
Independent retailers don't have the same luxuries or the financial freedom of large retailers like Saks or Lord & Taylor when it comes to sell through. Most independent retailers also sell one-of-a-kinds or unique items that take that one special person to come across it and fall in love or fall in need with it. Little Independent makes it easier for you, as a consumer, to get those items across state lines without leaving your own town. It keeps the integrity of the independent retailer while giving it a helping hand. <br />
<br />
As of today <a href="http://www.littleindependent.com/" target="_blank">Little Independent</a> has 69 stores in 14 states with 239 sale items just waiting for YOU!! They are growing by leaps and bounds so be sure to check their site frequently to get some incredible finds at incredible prices.<br />
<br />
May I add that Lesley happens to be such a wonderful person and knows what great customer service is and how people should be treated! For that, success is the only option for<a href="http://www.littleindependent.com/" target="_blank"> Little Independent</a> because it comes from a good heart :)<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There has been a change of tide lately with the economy the
way it is and people wanting to find comfort in the simple things again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is why, I believe, shopping for vintage
anything (but especially clothing) has made a rather large resurgence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Along with yearning for the nostalgia of yesteryear finding
vintage pieces is like finding hidden treasure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Finding beautiful pieces with tags still attached – oh I just felt my
blood pressure rise – such a rush!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even
if I don’t buy it for myself there is no way I’m leaving an incredible vintage
find behind – I know someone who would look awesome in it or I will use it for
a photo shoot before I walk away from something so fantastic!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have searched through many
definitions of “vintage clothing” and the most common theme seems to be as
About.com defines it:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span lang="EN">“</span></span></b><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The term vintage
is used to describe clothing between 20 and 100* years old which is clearly representative
of the era in which it was produced.

"vintage". It is also important to understand that all vintage will

find an awesome vintage dress then mix it with some sky high platforms to make
it modern.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you layer yourself in
vintage jewelry like pearls and rhinestones, then wear it with a white tank top

They are now in their 4th year and have made incredible strides in raising awareness for Women and Girls affected by HIV/AIDS.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.theredpumpproject.org/?utm_source=Red+Pump+Mailing+List&utm_campaign=dd72f759ca-4th_annual_Rock_the_Red_Pump_launch_email1_19_2012&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">The Red Pump Project</a> raises awareness about the impact of HIV/AIDS on women and girls. Our mission is to promote HIV prevention through education, and open dialogue about the issues that surround sexual and reproductive health. We do work online and on the ground to motivate action and encourage dialogue about the effects of the disease.<br />
<br />
Founded in March 2009 by Luvvie Ajayi and Karyn Watkins, Red Pump believes that if HIV affects one, it affects us all. We use the red shoe as a symbol of empowerment to represent the strength and courage of women infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. The incorporation of fashion into the message of HIV prevention is our contribution as we hope to show that Awareness is Always in Style!™. <br />
<br />
National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is March 10th every year, and there’s a whole lot of talking and educating happening all over the country in honor. That’s how The Red Pump Project was born… Out of our desire to get conversation started on the issue of HIV/AIDS and ask others to do the same. So we put out a call for bloggers to “Rock the Red Pump™.”(thanks ladies for letting me borrow from your web site :)<br />

As some of you may or may not know we have launched a vintage subsidiary of our company called <a href="http://www.wix.com/erasbyadsh/collection" target="_blank">ERAS by ADSH</a>. This is an exciting venture for us because we love to mix unexpected pieces and find hidden fashion treasures in our city and beyond. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGSTunQtNkyKHuk4EbvQ31R_wvdR-MZMTfeHVtlZgovnfP6Ocz2iuHzUPv7DgdsjDiEjw7tqeZaIF2wz_X0hXyCp_4985etIlxxTovnLGdHF8l62D-qn-ym6CRz0Ga5ddKJXLUAvsthIA/s1600/100_2137.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGSTunQtNkyKHuk4EbvQ31R_wvdR-MZMTfeHVtlZgovnfP6Ocz2iuHzUPv7DgdsjDiEjw7tqeZaIF2wz_X0hXyCp_4985etIlxxTovnLGdHF8l62D-qn-ym6CRz0Ga5ddKJXLUAvsthIA/s320/100_2137.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
ERAS by ADSH began after an amazingly lucky thrifting day. The more we found the more we knew we had to share it with everyone. There are pieces that just CANNOT be left and they must be shared. We found all shapes, sizes, fabrics, colors, and ERAS - hence our name!! One thing that sets us a part from the rest is that we choose only the best most high quality vintage pieces (with some brand new up to date items thrown in because we just couldn't resist). If there is something that needs fixed to make it perfect again then we fix it. We take pride in selling quality products and customer service is #1!!<br />
<br />
We also come across items that were made in huge design houses and also some little known ones and try to resurrect the piece so it is relevant today. The best reward is following our pieces to galas, proms, corporate offices, museum openings, and onto the streets of America and internationally. <br />
<br />
There are always new and exciting items arriving so be sure to check back frequently to see how we do on our buying days - so much fun! Also we welcome your feedback and we take special requests. This means that if you are looking for something special we are more than happy to go out and try and find the best items to suit you. We will choose several options for you and from those we hope you find "the one". <br />

A showcase differs from a fashion show and that is fact #1. A showcase is just that - an event to "showcase" designers and their collections for buyers to purchase. It is an up close and personal way for fashion professionals to buy in a setting conducive to finding items for their organizations that fit their clients best. This way one is able to inspect craftsmanship, feel fabric, and get a first-hand impression of the designer and their collection. Models are placed strategically throughout the space and are expected to know who they are wearing and a bit about the piece they have been lucky enough to be chosen to wear. <br />

<br />
A Fashion show usually involves a runway presentation and has a short time frame for which the show begins and ends. Models are sent walking down a catwalk (in one aspect or another) and are used as a "hanger" for the collection in which they are showing. Attendees are lined up usually 2 to 3 rows deep along the edge of the runway or catwalk. There are media, buyers, and fashion professionals in the audience along with moms, dads, friends, family, etc. You hope you are able to catch the attention of one of the aforementioned fashion professionals in order to get your collection into the hands of the right store or stores. There is no up close and personal unless you have been invited backstage before the models run out of the clothes. <br />
<br />
We carefully chose the showcase option because independent fashion has more to prove, unfortunately. Meaning we have to work harder to show that we are just as good (or in some cases BETTER) than large world renowned fashion houses. Showing someone quality is always better than telling them about it. They must be able to see for themselves and that is exactly what a showcase is able to do. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QJUIO7itqP0/Tvqo7odGGlI/AAAAAAAAA48/dYKpwBdb3cE/s1600/Marceli+Chase+10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QJUIO7itqP0/Tvqo7odGGlI/AAAAAAAAA48/dYKpwBdb3cE/s320/Marceli+Chase+10.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
Now, we are headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana and this whole showcase thing was baffling to some. Even the models were a little confused as to what we were doing and what we were trying to attain. Once the "waiting game" and the hair/make-up portion was over everything came together and the vision came to life. Now, a showcase isn't as action packed (at times) as a runway show so for some they aren't sure how to act or interact for that matter. A showcase is all about business and there is one main purpose that one attends - to buy new collections for their organization. There are all sorts of ways to present a showcase and we have learned so much from our first one. They can be fun but keep in mind we do this for the business side of fashion.<br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong - I am a sucker for a good runway presentation. They are fantastic and they have their place in the industry. However, the showcase has it's place but doesn't get enough credit for all it accomplishes.<br />

We were lucky enough to have some amazing people who believed in us and what we were trying to do: Peachtree Hotel Group, Barr Display, LModelz, Halakar Property Management, Angiee's Kitchen, Little Independent, PATTERN, Re-Creations by Christopher Thompson, Anna Ziemniak Photography, Marceli Chase Photography, and Karen Stewart Works. These individuals and organizations worked hard to help promote and also lend their vision to our event and to them we are undoubtedly grateful!!<br />

And of course we have the GREATEST team on the planet who helped to pull it all off as well. Believe me we all had our own separate small breakdowns at one point or another in the planning process but we brought it all together in the end - that's what a great team does :)<br />
<br />
This was a learning process and we are so excited how it all turned out. We truly were blessed with fantastic press and exposure for our designers. On top of that we had many orders and at the end of the day that was the goal!! <br />
<br />
Stay tuned for FW12 and be looking for your invite ~<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">How many of you love to spend less and get more?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, I am definitely one of those people who
love to get a bang for my buck and I especially love the <a href="http://www.goodwill.org/" target="_blank">Goodwill</a>! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have been shopping at the Goodwill for years and come to
find out I am now not the only one!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Goodwill used to be the fun place to go with grandma to try on the most
ridiculous outfits you could find, but now it is out with the old and in with
new. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Recent articles that I have stumbled upon have stated that
now, more than ever, the ratio of retail customers has risen 56% in the past
three years. The people who have been donors in the past are now Goodwill’s
greatest shoppers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Not only has the recession helped Goodwill’s success, but
the enhancements to their ad campaign for the store have created a fashionable
look for shoppers. Goodwill is now able to offer some name brands and some of
the newest trends - <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the hunt is just a
bonus. </span><br />

As we roll into the holiday season, yet again, we know you are inundated with choices on how to spend your money. If we may, we have a great suggestion. Of course, we encourage "an independent fashion revolution" which means supporting small businesses and all independent fashion and accessories. When you support that you are supporting and helping to launch careers - not just hobbies!<br />

</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570489676151374888.post-84297643148644594202011-10-26T08:59:00.000-04:002011-10-26T08:59:27.102-04:00Reflection: Race Relations in the Indianapolis Fashion Industry<div style="text-align: center;">
Indianapolis is one of the most segregated cities in the
Midwest. I've come to terms with that...really I have. I grew up in a world
where there was no color. People gasped at me when I brought a white man home to
visit my family. <em>What did your family say? Say about what?!?! Well....you
know about Jason being white? Umm...my family didn't say anything. I don't think
they even noticed.</em> I've been in love with every race there is...I'm an
equal opportunity lover. <em>(I haven't dated an Asian though, need to fill that
void...no really just kidding!)</em> And it's not that I'm naive about race,
hatred, and exclusion; it's out there and it's stronger than ever. I just try
not to let it rule my life. </div>
<div class="post-body entry-content">
</div>
<div align="center" class="post-body entry-content">
This time last year, I decided to follow a dream of mine and
work in the fashion industry here in Indianapolis. I didn't know much about our
fashion scene, but I knew one was out there. So I started researching to see
where I would fit in. I have met so many new and exciting people since I've
started to surface among the scene. Too many people to name...but you know who
your are. I've also learned of many catty fights and division in the ranks. What
do you expect? It is fashion...the mother of all cattiness, but I didn't expect
any racial division. I don't know why, it's Indianapolis. </div>
<div class="post-body entry-content">
</div>
<div align="center" class="post-body entry-content">
In Indianapolis, we have the black clubs and the white
clubs...black stores and the white stores...black salons and white salons. Now
don't get me wrong...there are some people of both races that break the mold.
They don't follow the status quo and visit places that cater toward the opposite
race. But the fashion industry....really?</div>
<div class="post-body entry-content">
</div>
<div align="center" class="post-body entry-content">
I saw on Facebook last week a boycott against Midwest Fashion
Week because it's founder, a Haitian male has been accused of purposely
not promoting African American models and/or designers, because he's ashamed of
his African heritage. I was floored, because this same issue was on the tongues
of some when the Indianapolis Fashion Collective started. Many people said the
organization was full of elitist and didn't want to particpate because they saw
no representation of color within the ranks or there was no representation from
IFC at the "black" fashion events. STOP PEOPLE! </div>
<div class="post-body entry-content">
</div>
<div align="center" class="post-body entry-content">
Are people being too touchy? Are people looking for something
to bitch about or does the Indianapolis fashion industry have a problem with
color? I think certain people do, we cannot change the ignorance of those who
choose to walk down a path of intolerance. But what we can do is support each
other, whether that person, model, designer, photographer, or corporation is
black or white or any other ethnicity or creed. Let's stop focusing on and
fueling the color line, but lets step over it. Because Indianapolis is filled
with talent from all sides; just think if we truly all came together and worked
on making Indy the new fashion hub of the Midwest. We would be
unstoppable.</div>

Back on a hot hot hot day in August of 2011 the Aesthetic Design Style House team took on the task of directing, producing, styling, make-up (ing), and hair do (ing) out own Photo Shoot. With the AMAZING vision of Anna Ziemniak behind the lens it all fell together beautifully! The shoot was relaxed and we just let it all flow which I believe made it as awesome as it was. <br />
<br />
Janelle Cissell and I worked on the direction part and also filled in as Hair Stylist and MUA. We had Sasha Greene and KathRyn Lou as models with Mallory Thomas joining us in a pinch toward the end. Amber Fitzgerald and Mallory Thomas (our summer interns) had the opportunity to style our shoot for up close experience. <br />
<br />
The final edits are complete so enjoy :)<br />

We are happy to announce our newest intern here at Aesthetic Design Style House - Amber Coryell!<br />
<br />
I'm going to let her tell you a little more about herself in her own words. Take it away Amber!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hello, my name is Amber Coryell and I am 23 years old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since I have been old enough to care what my
clothes looked like I have been crazy about fashion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love mixing and matching and making things
my own and I wanted to make that my career. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I took up the hobby
of sewing when I was in high school because I wanted to learn how to make my
ideas into reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love the idea of
taking something so simple, like fabric, and the outcome of it becoming
something completely different.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my free
time I have made or modified many things and found myself jumping into many
projects just for the learning and experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When I went into my last years of high school I did a lot of
research to learn about how to follow my dreams in this field and I learned not
only is it going to take a lot of time and determination but, a lot of
money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Art school was not cheap, so I
decided to go to school to get my business degree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided to get this degree not only because
it could help me gain more knowledge in the business aspect, but help me get a
better job to pay for the school I really wanted to go to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have received my degree and I am in the process of
transition, but in doing so I thought about trying to gain more knowledge about
the fashion industry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided I wanted
to do this before I start school again so I could go in with a little more
insight on both sides.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was not sure
how I was going to do this without any experience or an art degree under my
belt, but I was determined so I just started emailing businesses, companies,
stores, anything I could to see if they would let me intern.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In doing so I finally got the response I was
hoping for and I am so excited to have gotten this chance!! I cannot wait to
get started!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
