6 Ways To Shake Up Your Look in 2017

Dani Everson, Founder of Clementine’s Salon

1) Metallic-Inspired Hair

Pastel and neon colors are still around but now they are accompanied by a more muted and subtle color palette, mimicking a metallic look. Where there was pink hair now it’s a dusty rose, where we used to see blue now it’s now steel, purple has now been taken over by smokey lilac.

2)Bangs!
Bangs are tried and true, yet they never really go out of style. For 2017, the longer curtain-like bangs seem to be making a comeback. Celebrity stylist Kristin Ess has even been showcasing the best way to make “faux bangs” for gals that fear next-day bang regrets.

3) Blunt But Textured Bobs
Anh Co Tran has made waves in the hair industry with his blunt haircuts, but yet he still incorporates so much movement. As a stylist, I can tell you that every stylist I know has had an Anh Co Tran style shown as inspiration for a client in the chair.

4) Loose Braids

This past November, I had the honor to have a Shelly Schalamon create me a custom designed for the Colorado Aid’s Project Red Ball event! We had fun picking out fabric and turning my personality into an actual couture gown. My style is very playful and I like to change outfits multiple times in an evening. Shelly created me a dress that went from formal to fun, all in the whooosh of a removable skirt / train! It was so much fun to wear her design on the runway as I emceed the event and over the course of the evening, totally convert the look into something that I could jump into the arms of strong men in 🙂

1) What is your first memory that you were inspired witShelly Schalamonh fashion?

eqkustomperiodic1What do you want your fashion to personally express to the world when worn?

As a Designer,  I am always trying to invoke an emotion through fashion.  One that is positive and empowering to both the wearer and viewer on the street.

What one designer would you love to collaborate with? 

Vivienne Westwood for sure!  I just LOVE her,  and appreciate all she has done and does for punx,  high fashion,  and our environment!

screen-shot-2016-12-01-at-10-31-05-pmHow do you define fashion?

Fashion should be a statement.  What you wear should speak volumes about who you are as a person.  So often that message is tied to a social construct of what is appropriate for what woman.  For me, I say make the statement you want with the garments you choose!  So, for me, Fashion is defined by who is wearing the clothes, and what you wear can redefine the world.

How long have you be designing your collection and where can we find them?

I started work on this Fall Line after I launched my Spring earlier this summer.  My main goal was to elevate my own ascetic and create a cohesive and mature look.  I still wanted to maintain an undertone of rebellion without losing the classic lines of femininity.  It was all about the journey.  Not just my own as a designer, but I want the women who wear my clothes to feel a part of their own journey.  I’ve tried to design a look that expresses the changes I’ve made as a person and a designer.  My hope is that I can share the message that regardless of who the world thinks you … Read more!
