A month of Fashion and Colors

Fall is a very colorful season in France. Trees covered with gold, orange, red and brown leaves, bring a sense of warmth even as we ease out of summer. The colors of Fall inspired us to do a color promotion this month. On a similar theme, Britney writes about "Ombré", a color trend which gradually transitions your look when you want to make a change.
In this issue of our newsletter, you get to meet Stephanie, who started working part-time with us in July. This Fall issue also has some hits of fashion, including our most recent photoshoot, featuring 2 hairstyles designed by Charles. The shoot was done in collaboration with La Boutique - a new not-to-miss store for fashionistas - and one of our favorite photograph duos, Tara Arrowood and Kevin Meynell. More info about the shoot and the store are below. We are also very excited to announce the launch of Gleemaster, a portal website for luxury retail deals.

Ombré Color

From Britney, Hairstylist @ Atelier Emmanuel

"With Fall come new trends and styles. So maybe you're loving summer’s hilites, but want to spice it up for fall. Or maybe you’re new to the world of haircolor ...Or maybe, like most of us, you just need a change! Well ladies, I’d like to introduce you to the Ombré hair coloring style! “Ombré” literally means shadow in french, and the color technique takes a cue from hand-dyed fabrics. It is a graduation of color from dark at the roots to light ends, which more or less looks like you have some seriously grown out color-but done with style. Its the same idea of distressed jeans. They’re ripped, faded and trendy, definitely not boring. “Rooty” hilites have always been fashionable but this takes it to a whole new level. Roots are dark-natural and fade into a lighter shade from mid-shaft to the ends, all while keeping warmth and light around the face. It’s a very beachy, natural look without being boring... And it is not just for blondes! Look around and you’ll see it on celebrities in different variations from the more subdued, subtle look of Camila Alves to the trendy extreme flashes of color of Drew Barrymore. How intense you take it is completely up to you, but here’s the best part: It only looks better over time! It’s a totally new style that gives you a trendy edge, and is super low maintenance...what’s not to love?!"

Photoshoot

In our most recent photoshoot, Charles took short styles to long hair. The first look is a combo of a rock urban outfit with a 30's hair and make-up look. Michaela has long hair that Charles pinned into a bob. A good way to adopt a new look for a special occasion without cutting. Michaela wears a short blue silky Baum und Pferdgarten skirt, a white tank top from Swildens and a leather jacket (Bruuns Bazar). With the wind blowing that day, it was hard to keep the style in place!
But that wind worked fine with our second look, a crazy chic style with a sparkling evening dress from Erotokritos and backcombed hair.
The kinetic session was shot by Tara and Kevin, our frequent photoshoot collaborators.
A big thanks to Carole from La Boutique for providing the great outfits for the shoot!

The store mixes European ready to wear designers, hard to find accessories, vintage eclectic objects, a gallery, and showroom.
La Boutique’s founder Carole Harari, wanted to represent how San Francisco perennially carries both an American feel and a Western European one and want “to fuse both cultures at La through fashion and art.
La Boutique stocks an eclectic selection of highly curated European clothing labels. The majority of the labels featured are emerging designers, like Aleksandra Wiesenewska and Collection 66, paired with established “cult” European favorites like MM6 by Maison Martin Margiela, Vanessa Bruno athé and Zadig & Voltaire.
As a gallery, La Boutique features a different artist installation every quarter. September 15th marks the opening of a new exhibition about French fashion house Cacharel. Cacharel’s Fall/Winter looks will be showcased alongside Bort’s photography of Cacharel’s creative process from drawing to runway. The exhibition lasts until December 31st.
