As stated on the “Fashion ENK International | Coterie ’13” post, I had the amazing opportunity to interview the president of ENK International Tom Nastos. During the inter-view Tom stated key facts that I believe every student should apply to their future.

Question: What steps did you take to get to where you are today?

Tom: I had a game plan from the beginning. I think for most people it’s great to have dreams but for a lot of people you don’t know what’s ahead of you and it’s hard to imagine where you could go. I always put a three year program together, I say I’m here today and in 36 months I could imagine myself to be in this particular place in my career. I follow through on it and the obvious is hard work.

Question: What advice would you give the student fresh out of college trying to find a job in the fashion industry?

Tom: I think you have to look very carefully at yourself and what your skill set is and say “I’m very good at this”. Maybe that youngster would really be interested in working in e-commerce, e-commerce a lot of money is going into it and fashion is embracing e-commerce. So the question is “What’s my skill set?”

and how does that work for e-com-merce or any other type of retail or am I really more of a product development person. Once you can do that than you can really enforce your game plan, I am very big on having a plan. All young people should a plan.”

Not only did Tom give us great advice on ways we can become successful in the fashion industry, but he also gave us insight on how the digital world is revolutionizing the business. ENK introduced a new feature that has been added to the ENK International Trade Show known as “Shop the Floor”.

“Shop the Floor is an online tool that is provided to the exhibitors for free that they can utilize to communicate with their buyers. ENK International has the largest exhibitor base and retail base in the world, if you’re an exhibitor you have the ability to communicate with over 10,000 retailers. It allows everyone to have a much more even plane field. A small brand if they carefully use social media can have greater impact than a larger brand. That is revolutionary!” – Tom Nastos

With all this gained knowledge I am ready to make my 3-year game plan! Are you?

Completing a Look by Alyssa Parisi

Old World Glam by Christine Brooks

ACCESSORIES CORNER

We all know it’s hard to stay fashionable in the winter when all we want to do is bundle up in our sweatpants. So here are a few tips and tricks to keep fashion alive in the winter!

Cute fur accents (faux of course!)

Luxurious fur jackets look great in the snow over comfy clothes (especially all black). This can be done in several ways: a fur vest, a simple fur piece such as a shrug, or a simple fur jacket.

There is absolutely no doubt that fashion is an ever-changing industry. What was in last season, just may not be in again in the next. This goes the same for jewelry. While 2013 was all about the statement necklace and baubles, the year 2014 seems to be going back in time. With inspirations from the art deco era to even the Byzantine period, 2014 seems to be all about “Royal Treasures.” Think “Old World Glam meets New World Charm” when acces-sorizing next year.

The ABCs Winter Trend Guide by Shauna Farrell

TREND TIME

Winter 2014 promises to be full of glamour, luxe, and unseasonable colors. With these trends, you will forget how bitter it is outside as you slip into the season’s hottest trends. Here is the alphabetical guide you will need to update your wardrobe.

A nimal prints. What can be more fun than a pair of leopard print harem pants

with a chunky sweater? If you are not ready to take on the harem pants style, a chic leopard tote will be an excellent accessory to break up dark outfits.

B aroque. A la Dolce & Gabbana. With influences from the Baroque period

their dark, heavy adorned clothes and gold accessories add glamour to customary dark winter clothes.

Coats. Coats were a main focus for Winter 2014. Trends like color blocking

and adornments have added a special element to your traditional peacoat. Different cuts and styles have turned coats into fashionable pieces this season.

Dresses. Take you favorite summer dress and add a blazer to it, with tights

and a pair of tall boots. By mixing and matching, you can transform any summer dress into a go to winter outfit.

Elegance. From lace pieces to soft pinks and off whites, winter is looking a little like

spring. Take on this trend by pairing lacy, pink tights with a darker dress. Blush colored heels are another way to take advantage of this trend on cold days.

Floral. We can see floral prints in jeans, sweaters, and dresses. Take a pair

of floral skinnies and a classic sweater. Remember, balance with solid pieces to avoid taking away from the trend.

G ray. Gray is the new black. From gray sweaters to gray jeans,

there are many ways to take on this trend. For the rocker, a gray pair of zip ankle skinnies and a black bomber jacket will be your go to outfit.

Harem pants. I was on the fence with this trend, but a great pair of harem

pants with a chunky sweater or denim jacket can look chic. These pants look best with a classic heel. Bonus tip: as Harem pants can be lightweight and may be transparent, wear a pair of nude leggings under-neath your pants.

Ice, ice baby. Bring on the bling! Oversized necklaces and rings add a fun element to any outfit.

Jean jackets. Borrowed from the 80’s, the denim jacket is back. You can stick with a

classic jacket, or a jacket with studs.

Knits. There is nothing better than chunky knits in the winter. They are best

paired with leggings, skinny jeans, and tall boots. Break away this year and try a fun color or print.

Lace & Leather. Take your favorite lace piece from summer and bring it in to

the winter by adding a fly away sweater, jeans, and tall, heeled boots. Leather everything is so hot right now. Leather leggings, skirts, and dresses can be easily dressed for the winter. Leather sweatshirts look great with jeans and chic heeled boots.

7

TREND TIME

Mary Janes. These classic shoes add an element of prep to any outfit. Pair

these with a dress and fun tights or with a pair of skinny jeans and a classic sweater.

Nightwear. The pajama pants are no longer loungewear. They are

being paired with clean sweaters and simple heels. If you are daring enough, you can wear the pants with the matching tops. It is important to keep this trend as clean as possible since it can be tricky.

Orange. This color came in to the winter with us. Pair orange with khaki

colored pants. Throw on a denim jacket or a fun scarf to add more warmth. Finish this look with riding boots for a classic look.

Prep Couture. Think prep school style. Jumpers and skirts paired with sweater

tights and tall boots are a girly take on winter. Skinny jeans worn with a classic sweater and a collared shirt underneath is another way to

incorporate this trend on cold days. BONUS TIP: Chambray is a go to color.

Queen Me! Overly jeweled headbands that look like mini crowns are the

best hair accessory this year. When wearing this headband, keep your clothes simple, making the headband your focal piece.

Rocker Chic. Bring on the 90’s grunge. Leather, flannels, and ripped jeans

have been revamped. The key to keeping it chic is to make sure they’re fitted.

Studs. Valentino studs can be seen everywhere. Sweaters, jeans, shoes, and bags have

all been studded. There is a piece for everyone.

Two Tones. This trend is mostly seen with shoes. Cap toe heels in two

colors are …?

Unique Prints. This season we see many prints. From animal to

tribal, there are prints for everyone. You can see these trends in pants, sweaters, and bags.

Velvet. Velvet has been seen on almost every runway. Velvet sweaters keep you

warm and are very soft. Like most trends, it is best to keep this at a one piece maximum.

Wellingtons. Rain boots. These are the best for winter

conditions. There are many variations of these boots as well as colors and prints. Bonus tip: Pair with thick socks as these sometimes do not keep your feet warm.

XOXO. Lips are bright this season. Lipsticks and glosses are brighter than

usual. Kiss lips are on the front of sweatshirts and handbags for an added element of fun in your wardrobe.

Yellow. Yellow was a popular season color. Victoria Beckham used

pops of yellow in her winter collection. This is the best way to add a burst of color to dark clothing.

Zoe Karssen. This line is full of fun prints and slogan sweatshirts as well

as printed T-shirts. This is a fun way to send a message in your clothing.

It’s hard to maintain unruly hair during snow and wind conditions, especially when you have a great outfit and your hair is lacking in the “fabulousity” department. Beach waves aren’t just for the summer. Spraying sea salt in wet hair will leave your hair looking effortless and perfectly tousled in the winter. Also, the wet snow won’t ruin your hairstyle, but it

will help maintain the look all day.

This winter’s must-have makeup takes fall makeup trends into deeper, simpler, and richer looks. Making its comeback is the ever so popular no makeup look. The base is to have a good foundation and a

good concealer. The point is to create a flawless look with minimal effort (at least that’s what we want people to think). Revlon’s photoready foun-dation and concealer is the perfect duo to achieve this simple look for less.

Want to take your simple look over the edge? Take ELF studio cream eyeliner and create statement lines like a winged out cat eye and pair it with some nude lips and a peachy pink

blush to add some color to your cheeks. If you really want to try something bold, go for a vampy red-wine lipstick like Sephora’s lipstick. It will surely have your lips screaming “kiss me” so make sure to carry it in your purse ladies for reapplication and touch ups!

Black and brown aren’t the only colors used to create the smokey eye. This season’s colors range from blue, purple, green, gold, and caramel eyeshadows, which are the go-to-looks in creating a smokey eye. NYX single eyeshadows have each of these colors in shimmer, glitter, sheer, metallic, frosty and matt shades to fit any preference. It is a great alternative to purchasing overly expensive high-end brands. So save that extra cash and

splurge on a Starbucks date with a special someone or a girls night out while sporting any of the winter’s must have makeup looks!

Berkeley Fashion Magazine wants to see how you recreate any of these winter’s must have looks, so tag #wintermakeuplooks on instagram or @BerkeleyCollege on twitter to share your fabulous looks! Ta-ta for now!

PROFILE

Beirut is often referred to as “the Paris of the Middle East,” due that some of the most spectacular fashion designers emerge from this area. This includes Lebanese fashion designer Elie Saab, a master of sophistication, whose fairytale creations have been worn by celebrities and royalty alike. The self-taught fashion genius, dazzles with his intricate beading and strong sense of beauty. His specialty is the ultimate dress that highlights a woman’s silhouette with delicate embroideries and his outstanding quality.

Elie Saab was born on July 4th 1964 in Beirut to a wood merchant and a housewife. He was the eldest of five children and at the early age of nine realized his love for fashion and started making dresses for his younger sisters. As a child he spent much of his much of his free time cutting patterns and drawing sketches for them, using his mother’s tablecloths and curtains for fabrics. By the time he became a teenager, he was an established force in his neighborhood, creating fashions for a small network of loyal clients. In a recent interview Mr. Saab said “I was born with this passion of creating and making dresses and was always surrounded by beautiful women, from sisters to my neighbors, so the desire to dress them and make them look elegant was my constant inspiration.”

When he turned 18, he opened up his own couture atelier in Beirut with over a dozen employees. By this time he was already a master dress maker and presented his first collection to a public. He was in-stantly rewarded with huge success and “rapidly transcended Beirut’s borders, attracting women from

high society” according to Eliesaab.com. However, what really made him a worldwide sensation was the dress worn by Halle Berry to the 2002 Oscars. She was nominated and won the best actress award and the next day her picture in her Elie Saab’s dress was posted everywhere. From that day on, Elie Saab became a worldwide phenomenon.

Fast forward to eleven years later and he is a definite favorite amongst A-list celebrities. Vogue writes “ Sequins, shimmer, shine and crystals are very much the mainstay of this designer’s creations and there is only ever one destination in mind for his gowns – the red carpet”. He has dressed everyone from Angelina Jolie, Rihanna, Katy Perry and Gwyneth Paltrow, to name a few. Women adore him because has the ability to take simple designs and embellish them in such a way that it magnifies their femininity and elegance. Fashion is who he is and even with all the success that he has attained, he is not planning on slowing down anytime soon. The only thing that is certain is that the future is bright for this amazing designer.

Elie Saab sums up that, “Elegance is a statement, an attitude. Elegant women are women of character with confidence.”

The Winter is Here... by Shane Osinloye

EXPRESSIONS

It’s freezing outside!

Take it from a New Yorker.

Get a very warm jacket.

Hoping that you heard ole Ned Stark’s voice saying “The winter is coming” in a bone chilling moment of

Game of Thrones, you will realize, “Hey, those northerners know a whole bunch of stuff about the north, being from the north and all, I guess...”. From our basic human need to stay warm, to our most superficially gorgeous senses of style, being from Gotham City is a definite advantage.

I could write a thesis on this one subject alone. I plan on at least beginning a column here. We, as New Yorkers, from the port city of Lady Liberty, have a responsibility to share the inherent fashion expertise we a born with as Yankees.

The first question one would ask is, “How does being a New Yorker give you ‘inherent’ fashion expertise?” There are various answers, from superficial to statistical. Let’s start with the superficial and work our way up. I am one of the 44% of

African American men pursuing a higher education, while growing up in a household earning over the median income of $75,000. Looking in my closet, I definitely spend the 300 percent more in higher end retail grocers more than any other high-income household by race according to the Huffington Post article “Report Finds Black Buying Power To Reach $1.1 Trillion.”

Boy did I learn how to spend!

Coming from the hip-hop culture is a lifestyle submerged in the consumer experience. Coming from nothing to something has a way of making you want to get everything you never had. Not to mention, New York’s population density. I came from a high school class of nearly a thousand people, if not over. It was a fashion show. The newest Jordans, until we learned luxury brand’s sneakers are around the same price point, the latest jeans, the flyest coats. It’s where I developed my style,

from my fitted fit, to the cuts and designs of my favorite brands.

What can I say? I like high fashion. Some of my spending comes from my diversity. I was born in New York, my mother in London, and her mother from Barbados before her, who met my grandfather as they attended Oxford together.

Mom comes here, and educates her son on brands like Burberry, and Louis Vuitton, my favorites. Mom would take me on shopping expeditions, show me how to dress myself, and pick up a few items along the way as well. She looked perfect in a Burberry trench. I immediately aspired to be successful, so I could get her the finer things she appreciates. No wonder I appreciate the leadership of a powerful woman such as Burberry’s soon to be former CEO, Angela Ahrendts, who will lead Apple to the excellent horizontal growth and high value innovation she’s brought to Burberry since 2006.

Another insider tip: high fashion does not necessarily mean high prices without high quality. My Damier belt from LV was replaced three times since I first purchased it in 2009 at absolutely no cost to me. Louis Vuitton has pride in their product line, and if there merchandise breaks, they are more

than willing to show you they stand behind their product by taking responsibility and replacing it. Learn from your experiences, and remember and share the good consumer experiences you have!

I’ve had similar experiences and Frye, where I wore down my boots to the leather on the right boot. For $15 USD, they took my boots in, replaced the worn down parts, and refurbished the rest of the boot. They were already amazing, and in two weeks, after one express delivery from the Keebler elves, they were amazing and brand spanking new. Polished even!

Aside from my much more robust career in consumer marketing and production, I formerly managed a Lacoste, managed sales at an Express Fashion, and worked at a Burberry and Bath & Body Works.

This brings all the trivial elements of my personal life to a career of building consumer relationships directly related to the fashion industry. We live in a temper-ate deciduous forest, meaning it experiences four season, meaning four seasons of fashion, an industry already volatile with the whims of its rising and falling trends. That is accompanied with keeping up with the scents of the season, accessorizing, and matching outfits to the various dimensions of a New York City lifestyle. New York itself is at the helm of fashion capitals of the world.

The most significant conclusion of all of these observations, and the experiences which accompany them, is I am not unique! I am one of 8.34 Million New Yorkers, with our wild and diverse histories,

work experiences, and fashion expertise. The land of the hipsters, pop up shops, and snow laden loft parties. Speaking of, it’s going to be cold. I know this.

We had no hurricanes, I feel the air is off, and freezing winds will sweep in from Canada and overtake our land. We will have mild days, and bone chilling cold. This is where I need your help! I want your suggestions, your recommendations, for topics and for tips on how to survive in our urban terrain comfortably, and at the peak of fashion. Mail me at shane-osinloye@mymail.berkeley-college.edu with anything tips and topics. I will oblige. And please, for my sake, buy a warm jacket. Heed this northerner’s words, “The Winter is Here”.

Excerpted from Black Enterprise article, “African-American’s Buying Power Projected to be $1.1 Trillion By 2015”

Source: C. Daniel Baker, “African Amerrican Buying Power Projected to be $1.1 Trillion By 2015.” Black Enterprise. 6 Feb 2014. <http://www.blackenterprise.com/small-business/african-american-buying-power-projected-trillions/>

There are 43 million African Americans in the United States, 13.7 percent of the total population, the second largest racial minority in the country. The median age is 32 and 47 percent are under 35 years of age.

Even with these impressive numbers and buying power most mainstream advertisers are not inclusive, do not include African Americans in media and marketing plans and have underestimated the market size.

The Nielsen Company study entitled “African-American Consumers:

Still Vital, Still Growing,” which was commissioned by the National Newspaper Publishers Association, shows the underrepresented potential and spending power of the African American community.

According to the study: between 2000 and 2009, the number of African Americans attending some college or earning degrees has grown: 45 percent of men; 54 percent of women. Households earning $75,000 or more grew by more than 60 percent, faster than the rest of the population. African American’s average income nationwide is $47,290.

So what does this all mean in business terms? It means African Americans wield tremendous buying power. The Nielsen study showed numerous shopping trends, mostly for household, health and beauty, travel, smart phones and child related items.

“The Nielsen report is very encouraging because it shows the African American population is a tremendous financial asset to this country’s economic recovery,” says Calvin Harris, Jr. , President & CEO of the National Association of Black Accountants.

Be sure to check with your fashion club or student development to find out when shopping dates are and dressing mannequin dates are. Keep an eye out for fashion mannequins on your campus!

FACULTY SPOTLIGHT

1)  When did you know you wanted to work in fashion?I never intended to work in fashion. My original plans were to go to law school. I worked at Saks Fifth Avenue during my college years and entered their executive training program after graduation. The rest is history. I became a buyer and never left the field.

2)  What was your favorite industry job?My favorite industry job was being in charge of the Saks Fifth Avenue Folio Division which was their mail order catalog division. I enjoyed the challenge of managing many departments and turning around the division to profitability.

3)  Is there a mantra that you live by?My mantra is to appreciate and value family, do the best job possible and enjoy life because one never knows when it will end.

4)  What’s your favorite course to teach at Berkeley?My favorite course is FAS245--Merchandise Planning and Buying. I was a buyer and merchandise manager, so I realize the importance of retail mathematics to profit. I feel it is important for any fashion student to learn and understand the relationships between cost and retail and P&L statements.

5)  What fashion item can you not live without?The fashion item I cannot live without is a watch. I love watches and own many and never leave home without one on my wrist.
