Televised Style

We love styling our clients, especially for television!

Our client, Dr. Patrice Carter, author of "SUPERb Woman: From Bad Girl to God's Girl", was featured on the News 14 Carolina "In Depth" segment with Marti Skold. And her styling was courtesy of the JD Agency.

Dr. Carter's style is usually bold with chunky jewelry and patterned tops and dresses - all of which can be problematic on television. Patterns can cause visual noise and heavy jewelry can distract from the face when the show is exclusively shot waist up.

So for this show, we kept Dr. Carter's look simple but vibrant with this raspberry tart blouse from Talbots  and a demure necklace from her personal collection. We wanted the focus to be on her face, so we advised the author to keep her makeup sun-kissed and radiant. And we maintained her hair bold and funky style with a natural twist-out!

Power Prints

Graphics and prints were a huge hit on the spring 2013 runways, and clashing multiple patterns in one look has been a trend for quite some time now. Yet, I still have clients who aren't quite sure how to tackle the trend on their own.

If you're ready to start the new year off with a stylish bang, let's get you up to speed on the art of mixing prints.

Mix colors in the same color family.

Avoid mixing two bold patterns at once. It'll look too busy and will overwhelm the eye. Think one subtle print with a bolder graphic.
