Fashion Week Gets Creative

In Updates on September 20, 2011 at 10:17 am

One of the most enjoyable aspects of fashion, in my opinion, is styling. More specifically, the makeover. Who can resist a new wardrobe, new shoes, or a hot new hair style? Talk about a pick-me-up! Courtesy of Hands Down Creative of St. Petersburg, the Tampa Bay Fashion Week website got just that.

Our brand new, sleek website design is just one of the services Hands Down Creative has to offer. Owners David Barona and Olivia Scott use their background as artists and extensive knowledge of art and design to provide a variety of other creative services from graphic design, photography and fine art to event planning.

St. Petersburg’s creative collective, Hands Down Creative utilizes innovation and originality to convey successful branding and marketing to their clients. Visit their website and check out Hands Down Creative’s gallery and portfolio of successful projects.

New Identities: A Must-See Salon for a New You

In Designers, Events, Fashion, Updates on September 19, 2011 at 3:01 pm

 

 

 

 

New Identities Hair Studio is a must-see salon. With locations in both Tampa Palms (the New Tampa area) and Riverview/Apollo Beach, a big part of the Greater Tampa Bay area can travel there quickly. For those of us located a bit farther out, New Identities is worth the trip!

The owners and staff at New Identities have years of experience, and the services offered include something for everyone. Maybe you have an upcoming wedding or are attending a special event – hey, we know the holidays are just around the corner and those parties start earlier each year – check out New Identities and book your appointments now.

Like most people with busy schedules, I like getting everything done at one salon, and a salon that is a beautiful place with talented people makes my beauty time even more enjoyable. There is so much more to try than just a cut/blow dry (although we all love those). Maybe you want that sleek, smooth, shiny hair that is a bit difficult to achieve in our Florida humidity – they can help. Maybe you have a picture of a look you want to copy – they can do it.

Take a friend, or two, and enjoy your salon time together. Book something before Fashion Week Tampa Bay, so your look goes perfectly with your beautiful fashions. And, be sure to check out what great styles New Identities Hair Studio clients will be sporting at all of the Fashion Week Tampa Bay events. You’ll be glad you did.

Here’s to looking beautiful,

The Academy

In Fashion, Updates on September 15, 2010 at 2:34 pm

When it comes to being a fashion designer, creative passion, knowledge of the industry and design skills are necessary.  Having a wild imagination will also bring you far in this industry filled with “magic makers.” Everyone from the fashion show coordinators to the designers work magic in providing what the final eye sees. So how do you learn these design skills? Let me tell you… trying to teach yourself how to sew isn’t easy! Are designers born with fashion design skill? Doubtful unless you are the great Coco Chanel! What do talented fashion designers like Essence Flowers and Nina Verklas have in common? They are both successful graduates from International Academy of Design and Technology!

International Academy of Design and Technology has several campus locations throughout the U.S. including Tampa (of course), Chicago, Las Vegas, Sacramento and more. You can even attend “The Academy” while being home in your pajamas – online! The design college locations like Tampa focus on helping students acquire innovative design and technology skills while they pursue their dream career. One of the Tampa’s instructors, Terri Funaro is one of our Fashion Week Tampa Bay 2010 designers. International Academy of Design and Technology help students transform their passions and creative ideas into an interesting, in-demand career. Fashion design is only one of the many appealing degree programs. The Academy offers degrees in interior design, graphic design, animation, audio production, fashion merchandising, professional photography, advertising design, game production, digital media production, building information modeling and post production.

A school that focuses on transforming students’ creative passions into careers is nothing less than perfect for sponsoring our fashionable event. We are proud to have International Academy of Design and Technology as a Fashion Week Tampa Bay 2010 sponsor!
