LOS ANGELES, CA (LA ELEMENTS) 8/13/2017 – “Most of the headphones that you’ve ever seen have one speaker in one headphone,” says 1More Marketing Director in the Americas, David Przygoda. “Well that’s limiting. What we’ve done is we actually have three different speakers in one earbud so our headphones sound amazing. They’re currently number one, number two in Consumer Reports. The Verge just called them the best headphones you can buy under a hundred bucks. We’ve been giving these away to the celebrity fans and they’ve been loving it.” What should customers look for next from the first ever THX certified headphones? “We have a line coming out with Swarovski so we’re going to be an official Swarovski crystal headphone. They’ll have a silver one and a couple other colors. This has 5,000 or so crystals on it and it’ll be coming out later this year in partnership with Swarovski, we’re really excited about that.”

Headphones from 1MORE were just one of the outstanding gifts offered to winners, presenters and nominees of the TEEN CHOICE 2017 CELEBRITY RETREAT which was held on Saturday, August 12 at USC’s Galen Center. The official gifting lounge of this year’s Teen Choice Awards pretty much had something for everyone with offerings in tech, fashion and wellness dream getaways.
“The first property is called The Retreat in Costa Rica,” says representative Julie Zamorra. “It is a Diana Stobo property. She is a celebrity chef and a health and wellness coach. These are her properties so when you stay there, it’s about health and wellness. They do yoga twice daily. There are lots of things to help de-stress your life. The talent that comes in today will get a certificate for a two-night stay Wellness package. The second property is the Island Plantation Luxury Jungle Resort in Panama. With this resort they’ll get a four-night stay for a beachfront suite. The good news is between these two properties, it’s only a about an hour and a half flight. So, if you have time you can do both in the same trip.”

Styling credit for the TEEN CHOICE 2017 CELEBRITY RETREAT goes to Josh Johnson. Johnson’s selection of vibrant colors, notably turquoise, and whimsical artwork gave the Retreat its fun and trendy ambience. “The event of course sets a tone because you have to consider the demographic for the events,” says Johnson of his design process for the event. “It’s always a different setup for every event and we just kind of think about who might be coming in, who the guest list might be and tailor it around that atmosphere, that personality.” As an example, Johnson noted that his approach to creating the style of a luxury lounge for the Emmy Awards would of course be different from his selections for the Teen Choice Awards. “Usually, what I’ll start with is color inspiration. A lot of times for me, inspiration is color driven, palette driven or even piece driven. It could be a piece of furniture it could be a piece of artwork that I bring in and I will build off of.”
Any advice for those of us who might want to try our own hand at interior designing?
“Find something that you love and build your idea for a theme around it because it just gives you a great basis for a starting place so you can always go back and say, ‘this is my inspiration for designing this’. Inspiration is always a great place to start.”
