<h1>“I have a line that we specialize, Maggie Barry Beach Club emphasis on club.” &#8211; Maggie Barry</h1>
<p>HOLLYWOOD, CA (LA ELEMENTS) 11/26/2016 &#8211;  &#8220;It’s not just swimming suits as far as swimming suits go,” says fashion designer Maggie Barry between rehearsals for her show at ReveLAtion LA , Night One on 11/05/2016.   “They’re components, so it’s based towards a lifestyle of not necessarily being on the beach but being at a club, at a pool in Las Vegas, where you don’t add sand you add heels. So it’s more of a “party swimsuit” line that also goes into other moments…just like a whole weekend, a weekend away even.”</p>
<p>Barry closed Night One of <a href="http://www.revelationla.com/" target="_blank">ReveLAtion LA</a> at Siren Studios in Hollywood. This two-day fashion immersive event featured industry panels, pop up shops from acclaimed brands such as Nicole Miller and Jessie Liu and of course unforgettable shows from celebrated designers.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Barry’s models strode out to a hypnotic pounding EDM beat that harmonized, literally and figuratively with this particular line. “Maggie Barry’s Beach Club” made generous use of glitter as well as eye-catching neonesque and metallic colors. Ensembles ran the gamut from sporty bikini tops, jackets and capris combos, to skin-tight designs evoking the sleekness of a wet suit (but more alluring), and pretty much everything in between.</p>
<p>One particular function to this fashion was versatility as many of the pieces in this collection could easily combo up with a wide array of seperates.   “My style philosophy is having components that have more than one use, so that they’re almost like jewelry,” says Barry. “They’re accessories to whatever the evening is. For example, my little tops are great with jeans. They’re great out at night. They’re great as a day top with a denim jacket and jeans. Not necessarily, ‘I’m going swimming,’ it’s more than just swimsuits. And sometimes swimsuits look weird if they go past the element of just the pool. So, this is ok, you can wear this when you are ready to just go out and have your summer swim body and you want to look hot.   It’s not like…. when you wear a swimsuit out, you always feel guilty that it is a swimsuit, but it is a hot look. It’s almost like you can’t wear it out, this, you can wear out. It’s intended to be worn beyond the pool, beyond the water. Looks great next to the water, but it really should be out on a hot summer night.”</p>
<p>“If you’re going to do like your <a href="http://www.electricdaisycarnival.com/" target="_blank">Daisy</a> or you’re going to do Burning Man, they’re really components that are very exercise and movement friendly but they can be a swimming suit. But odds are they’re going to end up in a lot of other places besides the pool. They are generally things that you would never get in the water. You would basically be partying and looking awesome by the water.”</p>
<p>Outside of fashion runway shows, Barry has collaborated with stylist Lee Moore on memorable looks for such recording artists as Hillary Scott from Lady Antebellum. Lady Gaga and Katy Perry have also worn her designs.</p>
<p>“When you’re in the spotlight and you’re on stage, clothing is more than clothing. It has so many photo moments that it has to have. When I design clothes, I think in terms of ‘How does it photograph? How does it look on camera?’ Everything I do, I’m always thinking about the picture. The selfie. (laughs) There’s functionality but more importantly, the function is, you have to look freaking hot in it!  That&#8217;s kind of how I always look at anything. You know, whatever it is, if it’s just like a ‘Lady Antebellum’ moment, that’s a beautiful, hot moment but it’s not necessarily what people think the word, ‘hot’ is. You just need to look the best you can ever look.”</p>
<p>“The whole designing is a journey. In a lot of ways if I would have known then what I know now, I wouldn’t have had as much fun as I had in the beginning of my career. So sometimes you shouldn’t know, you should just evolve with what’s going on. I’ve always done what I want so I’ve never really changed how I feel or what I do. I just  find the customer. When people say to me, ‘Oh that’s too crazy. That’s too weird!’ Well you know what? There’s somebody who wants that crazy weird thing. We’re not all the same people, we are individuals. The people that want what I do, find me and I find them.”</p>

<p>Hollywood, CA (LA ELEMENTS) 11/15/2016- “I am very much influenced by Hungarian culture which is very diverse and colorful,” says fashion designer Makány Márta, speaking to us through an interpreter. “I am also very much influenced by Hungarian art. Not just the silhouettes, but also the prints on the fabric, I designed.”</p>
<p>Márta presented her latest collection during the first night of fashion runway shows at <a href="http://www.revelationla.com/" target="_blank">ReveLAtion LA</a> on November 5, 2016 at Siren Studios in Hollywood. Utilizing her Hungarian heritage as inspiration was a visual gift. Models walked before a capacity crowd in an array of designs rich in color, ranging from bold vibrant hues to a delicate palette of pastel shades.</p>
<p>Long known for her couture bridal designs, Márta’s collection embraced elements of the classic, with Chanel-esque tweed and wool suits and the romantic, one standout was a translucent silk gown graced with a delicate floral motif. Márta also presented ensembles that veered completely in the opposite direction with edgier silhouettes and construction. There were a number of memorable looks within this collection.  A collection that took chances and clearly impressed.</p>

<p>It’s always a highlight of any fashion show when celebrities walk the runway and at Márta’s show, it was a family affair. Walking for Márta, was actress Shari Belafonte from <em>General Hospital</em>, daughter of legendary singer and civil rights icon Harry Belafonte. She was joined by her sister-in-law, Malena Belafonte, whose acclaimed career as a model includes campaigns for Calvin Klein and Bulgari.</p>

<p>Hollywood, CA (LA ELEMENTS) 11/11/16- “When you see your beautiful celebrity or person on the red carpet or on camera or in a movie, so much went into it, blood sweat and tears, blood sweat and tears,” says <a href="http://stacycox.com/" target="_blank">Stacy Cox,</a> nationally renowned beauty, lifestyle and fashion expert.  Cox, who has shared her expertise on such TV shows as <em>The View</em> and <em>Access Hollywood</em>, moderated “Styled By”, a panel discussion with some of the top fashion stylists in the country at ReveLAtion LA, held on November 5<sup>th</sup> and 6<sup>th</sup> at Siren Studios in Hollywood.</p>
<p>“Styled By” panel members included <a href="http://alilevine.com/" target="_blank">Ali Levine</a>, who counts Jesse McCartney and Oona Chaplin among her celebrity clientele, <a href="http://www.alisondeyette.com/" target="_blank">Alison Deyette</a>, whose style know-how has been showcased in such shows as Good Morning America and Steve Harvey, and <a href="http://www.lauriebstyle.com/" target="_blank">Laurie Brucker,</a> who was named “LA’s go-to stylist” by the Los Angeles times in 2012 and whose styling tips have been featured in Self Magazine and Forbes.</p>
<p>This panel covered a range of topics and revealed that it’s not just a flair for fashion that makes a successful stylist, but the tenacity to pursue your dreams, even if it means working for free while you build your portfolio, as Laurie Brucker did.</p>
<div id="attachment_1944" style="width: 560px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1944" class="wp-image-1944 size-medium" src="https://laelements.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Laurie-Brucker-550x398.jpg" alt="Laurie_Brucker_Stylists" width="550" height="398" srcset="https://laelements.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Laurie-Brucker-550x398.jpg 550w, https://laelements.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Laurie-Brucker-768x556.jpg 768w, https://laelements.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Laurie-Brucker-1030x746.jpg 1030w, https://laelements.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Laurie-Brucker.jpg 1036w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /><p id="caption-attachment-1944" class="wp-caption-text">Alison Deyette and Laurie Brucker</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“When I first started in LA, I was living in my parent’s house, I hadn’t even gotten a place yet, and I went to music venues where I used to watch live music. I love live music in general but I would watch the shows and the band would come off stage and I’d be like, ‘You guys are awesome but we have to fix your wardrobe. You need a brand. I can do that for you.’ I actually booked my first clients that way. I booked young rising musicians because they didn’t have a thought about what their brand really would be.”</p>
<p>“Especially in this day and age artists in theater, acting and music, you kind of have to have the total package brand. You have to have the Instagram following and the great photos and the total package and the look, so I was really providing these musicians and stars with a marketing tool. Initially, I didn’t know what I was doing, I was kind of ‘fake it ‘till you make it’ kind of thing. Working for free provides you a means to hone your craft in a way that gives you opportunity to speak more confidently about it. The more I worked with clients, the more I could walk up to someone and say, ‘Hi, I’m Laurie and here’s what I can do for you.’ The way you start articulating yourself then becomes a little more refined and defined.”</p>
<p>The more technical part of the job tends to be similar for all of the stylists. “As far as a “pull” is concerned,” says Ali Levine, “most stylists do things pretty similar in the sense that there’s always a routine. So when you receive a project, whether it be, a person whose come in, a celebrity, whatever project it’s for, you know you’re going to have to go out and find clothing for that person. For me, I of course get their sizing, know their measurements, know what I’m working with, know if there’s anything that they don’t wear, will wear, something they love more, if there’s a certain color, fabric, all those notes and things before you go out to do a pull are super important so that you make sure whatever you’re actually going out in the world to get adds up to what they’re expecting.”</p>
<p>“So then once you have all those tools, you can then go to showrooms, or, …I have many relationships with designers all over Los Angeles, even New York, so they’ll ship me things and I’ll find my different “f’s”, fit, fabric, form, that I feel are really important for me and that’s how I start my pull. As I go throughout the day or week looking for those pieces, I then start to put those outfits together, and see what’s cohesive and what will actually work. That’s basically the start of your day. And then of course, being in Los Angeles, you drive everywhere to all those places and haul everything into your car. Your lower back, your arms…I feel like it’s my workout all the time.”</p>
<p>If the “pull” appears to be time consuming, returns are often times considered to be even worse.</p>
<p>“Really, the bitch is the returns,” says Deyette. “ You have to be super organized because everything you pulled, whether bought in a store, pulled from multiple stores, has to go back and you have to check it off your list. So you check it in, you have to check it back out, you have to make sure it looks good whether it gets returned in a package or if you’re dropping it off. You have to make sure the tags go back on and that it’s cleaned.”</p>
<p>“If you buy online for clients and then you’re returning a bunch of stuff, there are plenty of times I don’t just assume because it went back in the box it’s going back to the warehouse. I have to work to make sure that the guy unpacking my stuff at the warehouse actually checks it in. I’ve had plenty of instances where an expensive dress bought in two sizes only one gets checked back in. So I’m constantly checking that to make sure ‘Oh yeah, that Karen Millen dress or this very expensive dress of $600, there were two of them, both went back and somehow there’s only $600 on my AMEX and not for both. I have to reach out on a regular basis I’m going to say, probably once every month.”</p>
<p>“One nice thing about my relationships with designers is that they will offer my clients a discount. I go by a fee so if a designer offers a discount or a commission, I always give it back to the client then I don’t have a motive to specifically sell them something. I’d rather have them get the rewards.”</p>
<p>Despite the time and hard work dedicated to making a client look amazing on the red carpet, last minute disasters can happen and hopefully, there’s a savvy stylist close by to save the day.</p>
<div id="attachment_1942" style="width: 560px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1942" class="wp-image-1942 size-medium" src="https://laelements.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Stylists-Cover-Photo-1-550x367.jpg" alt="Stylists_AliLevine_StaceyCoc_AlisonDeyette_LaurieBrucker" width="550" height="367" srcset="https://laelements.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Stylists-Cover-Photo-1-550x367.jpg 550w, https://laelements.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Stylists-Cover-Photo-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://laelements.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Stylists-Cover-Photo-1-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https://laelements.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Stylists-Cover-Photo-1.jpg 1124w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /><p id="caption-attachment-1942" class="wp-caption-text">From left to right: Ali Levine, Stacey Cox, Alison Deyette and Laurie Brucker</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Less than a week ago, at the Reality TV Awards,” says Levine, “one of my clients was walking the red carpet in a gorgeous long gown and someone happened to step down on her gown really hard. She walked and the gown went rip, and I saw it happening as I was there on the carpet. I had to salvage it because she still has to look amazing for interviews and walk through. So, I run over and I’m trying to move the skirt over as much as possible. I have of course topstick, needle and thread, the whole nine yards, and I fix it as much as I can so it looks somewhat camera ready because she’s got to get through the rest of her carpet. Afterwards, I immediately called the designer to let them know, ‘Hey, I am so sorry, I kind of faux fixed this as much as I could, but it is ruined, it is damaged. Please let us know how you want to handle it.’ In that situation, talking about relationships and troubleshooting, designers really appreciate your honesty. This designer in particular was so happy with the press that they just let it go. They were like, ‘You do so much for me all the time, I get so much press from you and it’s so much appreciated.’</p>
<p>“That’s my point is with these relationships…you know if you went to a store and that happened you would have to buy that dress. For me, especially with celebrities, these showrooms are key in my relationships because I’m able to loan or rent or get something and not have to worry about dealing with stores or being on consignment.”</p>
<p>Communication is key in any profession. Working with celebrities and publicists requires not only excellent communication, but on occasion, some serious diplomacy skills as well.</p>
<p>“You can meet some really lovely publicists who you really connect with,” says Deyett. “Particularly when working with magazines and freelance styling with magazines and TV, I’ll sometimes work with a publicist who when we are looking at their client and I say, ‘So, what size are they?’ They’ll say, ‘She says she’s a two….’ You get a vibe so here’s what you do: You pull in sizes 2’s, 4’s and 8’s, and your plan is just keep them fitting so they’re not recognizing, so they’ll see some size 2’s.”</p>
<p>“I’ve been on some shoots where the music star will complain because she’s not fitting into the clothes but she’s like, ‘I’m a two! I’m a two! All my clothes at home are two’s!’ You just have to as a stylist convey that they look great on camera. Who cares about the size? No one is stopping you on the street and checking the label of your size. If you look great, they’re going to say that you look great and who are you wearing? They’re not going to say, ‘what size are you wearing?’</p>
<p>“Then on the other side you sometimes don’t get your connection to the celebrity because their publicist is so protective and almost thinks they’re on par with the celebrity and that becomes so difficult. I’ve actually gotten jobs for television because the person’s publicist is so difficult to work with that that someone will come to me and say, ‘I’m coming to you because you’re just so much easier to work with.’</p>
<p>An educational background in a fashion related field can certainly help (Ali Levine has a Bachelor’s Degree from Fashion Institute of Technology, Laurie Brucker has one in Apparel Merchandising from Indiana University) however, if there was one common driving force to maintaining status as a leading fashion stylist in an especially competitive industry it would have to be creating and nurturing professional relationships. Or as Brucker put it, “I think the most important thing though is the relationship building. You build those relationships, you take care of the clothes, you treat everything and every person you work with with respect and love. There are too many stylists out there who notoriously are not the nicest of people as told to me by other people. I find that when you are good and nice and give respect that goes a long way.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>It’s not everyday that four acclaimed stylists are gathered under one roof. We took advantage of this opportunity and asked the question we know you are most curious about: Which fashion item in your closet is your absolute favorite?</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Alison Deyette</strong></p>
<p>“I don’t have a specific piece but I will say that I am a dress fiend. Half of my closet is dresses!”</p>
<p><strong>Stacy Cox</strong></p>
<p>“A Helmut Lang little white jacket with leather on the top. I always say it’s a Jennifer Aniston piece. You put it on with your nice fitted pair of denim jeans and a basic black or white tank top and a snazzy pair of strappy heals or shoes and it sets you up for success. I go out in that white Helmut Lang jacket that I got at Wasteland, the second hand store in Studio City. I feel like I’m on point in that white Helmut Lange second-hand jacket.”</p>
<p><strong>Ali Levine</strong></p>
<p>For me, I would have to say heels. These are Givenchy, probably one of my favorite pairs; they’re a total go to. I’ve definitely throw them off and on to a client on a photo shoot. I just love heels, I feel like as soon as I put heels on I start to feel like myself all over again.”</p>
<p><strong>Laurie Brucker</strong></p>
<p>“I love heels. I’m a big proponent of always wearing one item in your wardrobe that just stands out. I pick colored shoes and ones that are just unique and different. The one particular shoe that I love the most is a pair that I got in Paris at Manoush. It’s like tan with big neon yellow flowers all over it. It’s like so out of control, not normal but it has like a nice mini stacked heel so I can wear it all day. It makes me feel great when I wear it because it’s a great purchase and it has a great memory attached to it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Expert panel discussions were only part of this two-day fashion event, which kicked off with an intimate breakfast with designer Michael Costello. There were also fashion runway shows, (keep checking back for our coverage) and pop up shops offering trendsetting jewelry and fashion from the following brands:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_1950" style="width: 560px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1950" class="wp-image-1950 size-medium" src="https://laelements.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Jessie-Liu-550x367.jpg" alt="Arhaus_ CEO_ Ambriel_ with_ designer_ Jessie_ Liu_ Stylists" width="550" height="367" srcset="https://laelements.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Jessie-Liu-550x367.jpg 550w, https://laelements.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Jessie-Liu-768x512.jpg 768w, https://laelements.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Jessie-Liu-1030x687.jpg 1030w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /><p id="caption-attachment-1950" class="wp-caption-text">From left to right: Arhaus CEO Ambriel with designer Jessie Liu</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://jessieliucollection.com/collections.html" target="_blank">Jessie Liu</a> The luxurious texture of the Jessie Liu line is likely due to the fact that the San Francisco based designer favors silk and lambskin leather for her collections. A graduate of the Academy of Art University, Jessie creates all of her own graphics and artworks, giving her work a bold aesthetic. Jessie debuted her Autumn/Winter 2016 line at the Daytime Emmy’s gifting suite.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_1952" style="width: 418px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1952" class="wp-image-1952 size-medium" src="https://laelements.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Oz-Otz-408x501.jpg" alt="oz-otz_stylists" width="408" height="501" srcset="https://laelements.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Oz-Otz-408x501.jpg 408w, https://laelements.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Oz-Otz-768x944.jpg 768w, https://laelements.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Oz-Otz-1030x1266.jpg 1030w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px" /><p id="caption-attachment-1952" class="wp-caption-text">Design by Oz + Otz</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“We are 18 months old and this line was founded by myself and my niece, Princess”, says Stacey Stewart, co-founder of <a href="http://www.ozandotz.com/" target="_blank">Oz + Otz</a>. “We decided that we wanted to develop a line that celebrates women and their curves. No matter what size she is, her curves are ok. We have four size categories: Just Enough, A Handful, Something to Hold and Much To Love. Our silhouettes are pencil skirts and shirts. Very simple. You can take it up, you can take it down. We call it “ready, set, go-wear” We only make 50 pencil skirts per design. Once we get to 50 we discontinue and move on to another design.”</p>
<p><a href="https://www.foxbait.com/" target="_blank">Foxbait</a> Founded by LA based artists and designers Camille MacMillan and Mathew Westray, this company is dedicated to creating contemporary, sophisticated clothing without sacrificing comfort.</p>
<p><a href="http://vassariboutique.com/" target="_blank">Vassari Boutique</a> This brand offers jewelry utilizing precious metals, semi-precious stones and trendy designs.</p>
