Staci Woo 12/15/06

Upon meeting Staci Woo, "frenzied designer" is not the first thing that pops into your mind. The impression instead is one of calm. Yes, calm. Rather than a fury of lipstick and heels, Staci is a woman that could explain algebra to a six-year old. Her motions are fluid, her expressions sincere, and her design space a quiet oasis of creativity.

This native Northern California gal moved south after studying art at the University of California, Santa Barbara. While in school, Staci worked at a local swimwear company and made her splash into the fashion industry. However, her real break came in 1995, as assistant designer to Adriano Goldschmied for A. Gold E.

"It was a humbling experience," she says of her days in the trenches. "I was young. Adriano taught me not just about design, but how to see things. He'd rush into the office holding up a pair of dirty blue jeans or an old tee shirt and exclaim, 'Do you see it! Isn't it fantastic!?'"

While toiling for Adriano, Staci began crafting on her own. She whipped up sling bags for personal use that soon became coveted possessions of friends and family. One became two, two three, and thus, in 1997 Woo was born. By 2002, Woo had collected a smart following based on simple yet innovative uses of recycled cashmere and vintage aloha prints. From what began as a bag and intimates collection has now expanded into a unique and fresh line designed for those seeking casual luxe. Each piece is an essential; created with the softest supima cottons and tencels mixed with lace trimming and inspiring prints.

Woo compliments every contour of a woman's body in a sophisticated and feminine approach. Her delicious materials are perfect for living and enjoying life to its fullest! Check out the latest from Woo like her graceful Ginger Dress in Plum Tree or the comfortable Short Sleeve Henley ivory to name a few.

The biographies of the amazing duo are as surprising as the line itself. Richie Rich hails from Northern California and began his career training with Kristi Yamaguchi, as one of the top professional figure skaters in the nation. After touring with Ice Capades, he moved to New York and soon became a professional "Club Kid". If that weren't a diverse enough resume, Richie then recorded a dance album with the two club hits, "Magic" and "Collision".

A true cowboy, Traver Rains grew up on a Montana ranch learning how to ride and rope at a young age. Traver won over 100 different titles at state and national horse shows for his riding skills. Like Richie he started designing his own performing costumes and simultaneously laying the fashion foundation for Heatherette. After receiving a degree in Economics and International business, the cowboy moved to the big city where he met business partner, Richie Rich. The two hit it off and launched Heatherette in 1999.

With an entourage of celebrity friends like superstar photographer, David LaChapelle, performer Amanda Lepore, and stylist Patti Wilson, Heatherette was soon gaining oodles of press and famous fans. Celebrities include, Paris and Nicky Hilton, Mariah Carey, Sarah Jessica Parker, Alicia Keys, Gwen Stefani, David Beckham, John Galliano, Naomi Campbell, Missy Elliot, Jessica Simpson, Beyonce Knowles and many more. The design duo claim that Heatherette is made of "glitter sequins and dreams" and from their unbelievably fun look, we believe them. Check out some of their newest styles here.

Siwy 08/08/06

Michelle Siwy had so many flattering and innovative ideas for designing the perfect pair of jeans that she was compelled to start her eponymous line, Siwy Denim, so her unique ideas would be all her own. To the delight of women around the world, she began designing an ultra-flattering line of sexy American denim in the spring of 2005. Since then, her jeans have skyrocketed in popularity with help from a cast of Hollywood's elite that love wearing her denim. Stars like Rachel Bilson, Jessica Alba, Beyonce Knowles, Christina Aguilera, Nicole Ritchie, Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton have all put their look in the hands of Siwy Denim.

Siwy Denim makes everyone look tinier in all the right places and even adds lift to flat bums. How does Michelle manage to manipulate the eye? Using several visual tricks like widening the knee out and slimming the knee on the inside to balance the hips. Her washes contour the body to make it appear thinner, even more toned! Not unlike a self-tan airbrush, her vintage washes and fades sculpt the body visually. The back hem curves upwards so it won't drag on the ground or under a high heel and the front waist dips slightly to flatter the tummy. Michelle's design details are a calculated symphony of washes, cuts, and fading that ultimately creates a beautiful optical illusion that makes Siwy denim truly one-of-a-kind.

So take a peek because these belts are truly Elegantly Waisted.

Janis Dragon Jeans

Taverniti So

First and fore-most, what's not to love about their bling'n Dragon jeans? They have two important things that make a stylist smile: Gold colored embroidery on the back pockets, and what every jean needs-impeccable fit. The longer shaped pockets create the illusion of a larger, more proportional looking butt for those with flatter bums, and for those with larger bums, the pockets draw the eye down to straighten and lengthen your butt and legs. We'd like to give Taverniti props for constructing their jeans to fit so many different body types without skimping on style.
