GROVE FEST FASHION CORNER HEADLINERS
LINDSAY PATTAN and AMANDA HUMBOLT of MISS OHIO VINTAGE
MOV carries vintage clothing, accessories, and oddities for men and women. We host a large, eclectic selection of various old treasures, but specialize in streamlined boutique collections revolving around current trends.
Miss Ohio Vintage’s Collection will be accessorized by:
HEATHER KORN of BELLESTYLE
“Dwell in Possibility” -Emily Dickinson
BelleStyle is an attainable lifestyle brand defined by modern American jewelry with an eclectic inspiration, which embodies the personal style of Brand Manager and Creative Director, Heather Christine Korn. While at the University of Miami-Coral Gables where she majored Advertising & Graphic Design she traveled to London, Paris, Venice, Milan, Rome and Florence. It was there that she perceived a void in the market for a sophisticated American jewelry at an accessible price point, Heather wanted to take her accessory making to the next level and inspire woman and men of all ages. BelleStyle was launched in May 2003 as an accessory concept with multiple product categories, including necklaces, earrings,bracelets, chains, charms, rings, and specials such as bridal.
{ “Europe really opened my eyes to the extraordinary concept that Art is Everywhere.”-Heather Korn}
SUZANNE LAY of SUZANNE LAY
The Suzanne Lay line embodies the idea that “opposites attract”. Taking reference from my personal life and relationship with my husband; we are exact opposites but we are a perfect match. I incorporate woven’s within my knit designs and woven pieces within my collection. I like to experiment with the ideas of hard vs. soft and structure vs. draping.
Suzanne Lay designs for the “Conservative Sexy” woman. A woman who is confident and demands attention, who wants to be comfortable and sexy at the same time. Suzanne Lay has been described as comfortable, sexy, alluring and chic.
SOCIALITE by VERONICA ARIEL
Fashion Designer, Wardrobe Stylist and Personal Shopper, Socialite by Veronica Ariel is a Chicago based company that specializes in tailor made garments. From concept design to final execution, everything is created by hand, literally. Although womenswear is the center of the Socialite brand, this designer is not limited to just women’s clothes. You can also get custom designed Tshirts and men and childrens tailoring upon request. Veronica Ariel, as the Stylist and Personal Shopper, has worked with several local recording artists, athletes and DJ’s in Chicago.
Veronica Ariel, is more than just a name, it’s a lifestyle. Everything produced under the Socialite umbrella, is dedicated to make each and every client feel special inside, so they can exude confidence from the outside. Veronica Ariel stands in a class of her own, delivering sexy silhouettes with class for women, age appropriate pieces for children and dignified garments for the gentlemen. Socialite’s clients don’t thrive to be apart of the “in crowd”, because they are the “in crowd.”
LAUREN CRAM of VICTROLA
VICTROLA came to be in 2009 as the alter ego of it’s designer, Lauren Cram. The Missouri State University graduate has a love for playing dress up. “I have a tendency to treat the girls or models I dress, like lifesize dolls. It’s like playing with Barbie times ten”, says the young designer. Cram draws inspiration from pin up girls, flappers, and ballerinas. With 23 years of dance experience and an adoration for all things vintage, Cram has a natural habit of meshing the two into something special.
Currently, Cram does custom design work out of her house and is looking for boutiques to carry VICTROLA. For more information on VICTROLA and it’s sassy redhead designer, you can visit VICTROLA’s website or contact Lauren at victroladesigns@yahoo.com. Don’t forget to “Like” VICTROLA on Facebook, either!
GROVEFEST FASHION CORNER SUPPORTING DESIGNERS
Eve’s Apple Vintage
Eve’s Apple Vintage debuted on Ebay in 2006 born of Mia’s love for all things vintage, especially clothing and accessories. Her fashion philosophy is dominated by style reflecting ones personality and thrives on the distinction of those brave souls whom possess the defiance to be different and revel in precisely that.
GROVEFEST FASHION CORNER ACCESSORY DESIGNERS
CANDY CEDERBLADE of BOOMBOX BETTY
“I’ve been designing ever since I can remember. I started sewing at the age of eight and never looked back. My design inspiration comes from anything and everything, but BOOMBOX BETTY has a special link to my love for music. I wanted to take the intangible and turn it into something definite, a piece of art that can express the wearer’s musical taste at first glance. This quote sums up my collection and my character:
‘I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.’ – George Eliot”
MARY COLLINS of VAUJE VIXEN
Mary Collins started designing jewelry for herself out of the love for the retro/vintage look. She started wearing her pieces and women would ask her where did she purchase them from. She would begin to tell them she made them herself. Soon women starting suggesting she make the jewelry to sell to others. Mary started creating the designs and ideas and brought them forth in her own jewelry line – Vauje Vixen. The response was better than what she would have ever thought. She then came out with another set of designs and that response was wonderful. Now Mary will be coming forth with another set of designs. Hopefully the response will be even greater than the one before!
