Media Spotlight | Congratulations to Creative Director and Fashion Stylist Ope! Ope is features as a Rising Star in the March/April 2009 edition of Supermodels Unlimited Magazine.
Seeing herself as an artist first, Ope views fashion styling and creative direction as another medium to extend her artistry to the canvas of real life.
Ope has worked for designer Betsey Johnson for a number of years. She considers Ms. Johnson an early influence but sites designers Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and Vivienne Westwood as inspirations. Although she enjoys artsy high fashion, she has also had experience with brands like J. Crew and BCBG that lend to her ability to be flexible with various style demands from commercial to avant garde editorials.
Style heroes for Ope are Grace Coddington, Philip Bloch, and Jay Manuel. If Ope could be the next "anyone", it would be one of those distinguished people or a pleasant combination of all three. However, she will settle for being the next "Ope."

Tips from the Artist | Spring Makeup Trends by Barb McDonell, Makeup Artist
For eyes - sherbet shades of pale lavender, pale mint green, pale pink and liner that is applied softly. When using black eyeliner, smudge it. For cheeks - mineral makeup is good for a pearlized or luminous cheek in pink and peach. For lips - light pinks, mauve pinks or even fuchsia - also lavender lipstick that has a hint of pink in it. Glossed lips look more creamy than shimmery. For facial skin - the look is hydro-luminous (natural dewy) as opposed to dry but not too shiny.

| Spring Fashion Trends by Ian Wearmouth, Stylist
So, Spring has arrived and you want enhance your style. Well here are the spring trends, which also made a big splash on the cat walk in New York city spring fashion week.
Going big is the new black.
With big handbags and matching pattern to that very cute spring dress in your wardrobe, there’s no mistaking who's who that way.
Big necklaces - the oversized necklace is in! Big and bold around the neck, is the new New York City Bling.
And, what’s old is new again - with a new take on the zipper in shirts and dresses zig zagging this way and that, all the way up and down the cat walk.
Well those are my three top choices for this spring, with the obvious robin blue pastels and flora arrangements, maybe its time to toss out the old and bring in the new.
