The Globe Spotlight: stylehaüs!

The Globe Showrom is happy to feature stylehaüs, a new LA boutique that we love to work with! Carrying Globe labels Camilla &Marc, Kimberly Taylor, Sam & Lavi and A+RO, stylehaüs serves to provide their customers with the the most current &  fashionable styling tips for any occassion!

Opening in July of 2011, stylehaüs is moderately new. But their notable passion and expertise is reflected with their ever-budding clientele. I recently spoke with Marina Monroe, the Creative Director and owner of stylehaüs, to find out more about her & the boutique!

At only 22 years, Marina moved from NYC to LA to begin her own online clothing boutique. Missing the feeling of working closely with people, she found herself back in the realms of fashion PR & retail. All of these experiences have helped to shape stylehaüs!

How did you get in to fashion? Was it always your first love?

Fashion is in my blood. Ever since I was little, the moment I stepped into any boutique, it felt like home. Shopping, going to fashion shows, people watching from my stoop in NYC to check out everyone’s outfits... it all gave me a rush like no other.

What is it about styling clients that made you want to open this boutique?

 I think working with people directly is what fashion is all about. Being able to make people happy and confident in their clothes is what drives me. It is a really special experience for me to work with a client’s aesthetic, as well as push their boundaries a bit and introduce them to new ideas.

Describe your store concept! How is it different from all the other boutiques that offer personal styling in LA?

stylehaüs breaks all the rules of traditional retail and provides an environment that is fun, friendly and all about the fashion. Our personal styling services go beyond selling pieces in our store: we work with our clients' existing wardrobes & consult them about purchases. Being appointment-only enables us to give the proper time and attention to every single one of our clients without any distractions.

There are so many emerging designers out there to choose from! How do you go about choosing a collection for your boutique?

In a collection, we look for quality, fit and aesthetic value. Our first responsibility is to our clients, and we always order pieces with them in mind. We also look at the entire collection to envision each piece and how it will incorporate with others we are ordering, as we like to mix and match designers to create looks for our clients.

 The stylehaüs customer seems very interesting! How would you define your clients?

Our clients range from celebrities to stay at home moms, but the one thing they share is a love for fashion. We become their 24/7 style concierge! A stylehaüs client could come in to plan their entire fall wardrobe, try on outfits from a pull we have gathered for them for their birthday party, or just stop by for a glass of wine to chat about fashion!

Fall is quickly approaching! Do you have any trend predictions for the fall season?

The menswear trend is one that I have been seeing a lot and love. Diane Kruger wore a Jason Wu tuxedo outfit to an event recently, with shorts- and she looked so chic and sexy! White button down shirts, neckties, black and white blazers, skinny and wide tuxedo style pants are all really big on the runways I think we will also see pops of bright colors like electric blue and red, as well prints- large stripes, graphic prints. I also love the mod theme that is all over the runways!

Marina shows a lot of passion for her job. With that mindset, we think stylehaüs will blossom into an even bigger service!

Korie Takes Miami Coast!

Korie Miranda, one of our fabulous sales reps at The Globe, recently took a trip to sunny Miami for its annual trade show! Hosted at the luxurious Moore Building in Miami's Design District from May 16th-17th, the Coast trade show brings together buyers and showroom representatives, all while showcasing beautiful collections.

Korie graciously let me speak with her about her quick, yet jam-packed experience at Miami Coast!

How was your experience at the Moore Building?

While it was my 2nd time going to Coast, it was my first time being in the new venue. I think it was a very proper venue for the trade show. The building had a terrace-like feel; it was very open and inviting.

What collections did you bring with you to Coast?

I brought: We Are Handsome, Sam & Lavi, Fred & Sibel, DOMA, Kimberly Taylor, Sunner, Glynneth B, and Nancy Caten.

How was the response to the collections?

The two collections that had the most responses were Kimberly Taylor and Fred & Sibel. Kimberly Taylor fits the younger Miami party girl. Fred & Sibel's cashmere is good for girls who are often in places with Air-Conditioning. The cashmere is light and breathable; the buyers don't go for itchy wool.

Do you think there is a difference between southern and northern buyers?

The weather plays a big role. For Fall and Holiday collections, the buyers in the South focus more on lightweight goods. The Southern buyers are not stuck on trends alone either; they like to have items that will work effortlessly with pieces they already have in their wardrobe.

Miami is steadily becoming one of the "It" cities for fashion. Did you notice any trends?

I saw a lot of different maxi dresses, it was a very "Boho Chic" look. The Miami girl is casual, yet still cute and put together.

What would be your essential Miami item for a fun day at the beach?

For the beach, I would go with one of Sunner's floral print maxi dresses. A We Are Handsome bathing suit would be great too!

How about for a night on the town?

My choice would be a cute Kimberly Taylor party dress.

What is your favorite part about being in Miami?

My favorite part is definitely the weather! The show was really relaxed; they had a DJ, cocktails, and we were always being served food! This made the show very appealing and provided comfort for the buyers.

Overall, the Miami Coast show was very successful and very fun! Can't wait to see what next year brings :)

Kaylee Defer in Kimberly Taylor!

Kaylee Defer, the fresh-faced actress best known for her current stint on "Gossip Girl" was spotted at a Nylon Magazine's 12th anniversary red carpet event wearing Kimberly Taylor.

The "Diana" dress is very chic with its classic leopard print, but still has a bit of sass with the unexpected midriff cutout. Kaylee uses simple accessories that doesn't overpower the statement dress. She looks great!

On the Road with Amy!
