The TIMELESS Charity Gala, which is themed as “A BOND EVENING” has quickly become known as Boston’s most stylish, upscale New Year’s Eve party.

This year, the newly titled Miss Massachusetts USA 2013 Sarah Kidd will host the event and mingle with the New Year’s Eve crowd. Crowned on November 18, Sarah is extremely passionate about her work with Operation Smile, which is a nonprofit organization that raises funds and performs surgeries to repair facial deformities primarily in children born with cleft lip and palates. Sarah has helped to raise money through various events and fundraisers to help pay for some of these surgeries and has high hopes to someday be a part of the actual surgeries herself. Sarah is looking forward to her year ahead filled with charitable activities during her reign as Miss Massachusetts USA 2013. Sarah said that she “can’t wait” for this exciting event.

Joining Miss Massachusetts USA 2013, Sarah Kidd will be Miss New Hampshire USA 2013, Amber Faucher who will co-host the festivities and help ring in the New Year. Amber is a 23 year old who attends Southern New Hampshire University. Amber competed for the title of Miss Teen USA 2009, and is the fourth 2009 Teen USA contestant to have competed at the Miss USA pageant this past year. Amber enjoys working with any charity that involves health care. Both Amber and Sarah’s dedication to charitable causes make them perfect co-hosts for this event, and they are sure to help make the evening a night to remember.

Old Hollywood conjures up images of luxury and glamour. Though the era is far behind us due to our pop culture obsessions of celebrities’ every move, the style of Old Hollywood has withstood the test of time. Starlets such as Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Clara Bow, and James Dean still dress the walls of our bedrooms and serve as muses to the largest of fashion houses. Old Hollywood stays relevant in our society’ s norm of new.

Taking cue from an ageless point in time, SYNERGY Events held an “ Old Hollywood” theme New Years Eve Boston Gala, the perfect way to welcome a new year in style. About 350 guests were treated to fashion, beauty, music, and spirits at The Calderwood Pavilion at the Boston Center for the Arts.

Globally-respected designer Karen Sabang, a guru of dramatic couture, displayed glamorous gowns inspired by Old Hollywood starlets. Sabang’ s garments utilized the fabrics and colors of the era, like candy apple red, draped velvet, plum, feathers, floating chiffon, and sequin-embellished materials.

The designs were the perfect balance of Old Hollywood glamour and contemporary couture.

Models were transformed into Old Hollywood beauty queens by Girly Junk, a cosmetics service based out of Norwell, MA. The girls were donned in tasteful metallics, sultry red lips, and effortlessly sexy updos: the ideal touch to complete their flapper fashions.

Guests got to dance the year away thanks to Reup, a jazz/hip-hop fused band, and rising star Renee Marcou, a pint-sized spunky blonde whose voice is compared to that of Christina Aguilera. DJ ILMATI provided music for the fashion show.

There was not a tired soul in the building as energy-drink company Red Bull kept guests amped. Canadian export, Pearl Vodka, flowed through glasses as the event’ s vodka of choice. And to satisfy those who had New Year’ s Resolutions dedicated to weight loss, diet and health beverage Fuze was offered.

Though we live in a “ New Hollywood” society, Old Hollywood still reigns supreme.

SYNERGY Event’ s Timeless New Years Eve celebration was anything but typical. By blending high fashion, modern beauty, and contemporary music with the ambiance of a sophisticated speakeasy during the rebellion of prohibition, the event welcomed a new year by honoring a past era.

The Emerging Trends – Paris Designer Spotlight: Christine Manthey

Written by Claire Mitchell

Beginning her career in the industry as a technical designer for various glorified brands, Christine Manthey started her collection, MANTHEY, in the Fall of 2009 with a unique eye for design. Manthey is excited to show off her new designs and get back to her “full creative roots as a designer”, she says.

Only starting up her collection in 2009, Christine has accomplished many great achievements in her career. In 2011, she co-costumed and styled for the play “1001 Nights”. On a personal level, one of her greater achievements was shipping off her first collection to the very first store that bought it. The best part for her was taking the box to FedEx and the excitement it gave her when sending it out! Another personal accomplishment for Christine was watching the models in her first fashion show, showing off her collection on the runway.

Christine draws most of her inspiration from various unique photographs and paintings from different eras. This past fall she meshed two contrasting artists influentially and collaborated both into a very avant-garde collection. While in Beijing, she found Alberto-Garcia-Alix and his 1980 styled black and white photographs. She also stumbled upon photographer Jacques Henri Lartique and his photographs of women in Paris circa 1911. Although both photographs are different, they are taken at an important time period in fashion, thus creating Manthey’s Fall collection. For spring she took inspiration from the 1970’s bohemian style using slightly flared pants and an A-line knee length skirts, as well as long skirts made of chiffon and dotted netting. She then tied her collection in with Botticelli’s painting “Primavera” using a dainty floral print in cotton and chiffon for her flowing blouses. Her outstanding colors such as melon orange, baby pink and bright raspberry were all present creating yet another eye catching collection.

For Christine, a major challenge for designers she says is breaking into stores that only carry reputable designers. However she says to break out of this status quo, “Luckily there are more outlets for up and coming talent than ever, and it might be best to get some credibility with those sources for the first couple of years, and test your ability to fully produce and ship a product.” Another challenge that faces designers Manthey says is that, “There is more and more competition with new media as well as traditional retail outlets, it can be easy to get lost if your product isn’t compelling in a photograph AND hanging on a store rack – you need both.“

However, to overcome such competitiveness, Christine says to look at your strength and weaknesses and then take advantage of all your surroundings. “ If you have a friend that is a computer genius with websites, or someone else that is business/money smart to help create your business plan and come up with revenue generating ideas, or a friend who is in sales for other designer brands and has retail contacts.  Using who you know, friends of friends, etc., to help you get out there in every possible way is a survival tool.” Christine advises.

Christine hopes to hold live presentations off-season in other markets to visually promote her collections. For Christine, she believes in having a more intimate events outside of the fashion week craze will better advance her brand hoping to “make people feel special, to understand the clothes, and get to know my vision.” Christine says. In addition to gaining a wide variety of international recognition, Christine Manthey is excited to be part of the competition and is confident she has the ability to win the competition and will use the winnings to invest in a new collection for MANTHEY, and is very eager to begin that process!

The Emerging Trends – Paris Designer Spotlight: Kristi Vosbeck

Written by Erica Markle | Edited by Claire Mitchell.

Young Kristi Vosbeck used to spend her days in her parents clothing store in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota creating clothes for her Barbies. Later, Kristi went on to pursue her Associates Degree in Fashion Studies at Parson to become a fashion designer. Now Vosbeck has her own company, KRISTI VOSBECK LLC, which started up in March of 2009. With accomplishments like landing the cover of the New York Post after her first runway show in 2011, the opportunity to be the costume designer for the feature film Plato’s Reality Machine, and being selected for F.I.T.’s mini fashion MBA this summer, Vosbeck has begun to make herself known on the fashion front. Gaining inspiration from her commute to New York City, Hollywood glamour, her travels, and nature, Vosbeck is always coming up with fresh ideas.

The past two seasons have “played off of each other in many ways”, Vosbeck says. She tends to take old styles and reinvent them to make them new again by changing aspects of different garments. Though she is inspired mostly by classy Hollywood glamour, she is drifting more into edgier looks in her more recent seasons. Kristi does recognize the hardships of making a name in the fashion industry. Her number one piece of advice? Never give up. Whether you are not getting the feedback you desired from buyers or the stores are not paying their bills, this discouragement can be turned into motivation to keep pursuing this passion. As for her future, Vosbeck plans to keep enduring and growing as a designer. Though it can be difficult to multi task the season at hand as well as the next season, she believes with the faith in herself as well as a strong team behind her, she will be able to succeed and hopefully pursue a career as an internationally known designer.

Timid at first to join the Paris competition, she is now confident and ready to showcase her masterpieces with the world. With high hopes to gain recognition from Parisian boutiques and make a name for herself globally, she plans to put her winnings towards her next collection, her current business, and a new project on her website if she wins.

The Emerging Trends – Paris Designer Spotlight: Nayna Fashion House

Written by Erica Markle | Edited by Claire Mitchell.

Saman, the designer for Nayna Fashion House, along with Arif Piracha, the marketing professional of Nayna, first made their mark on the fashion front in 2002 with the launch of their first collection in New York. Their exhibition proved to be a success when its first showing in New York was completely sold out. Since then, Nayna Fashion house has been the solo designer for the launch of Tag Heuer in Pakistan, as well as a participant in two exclusive shows with Tag Hauer and Fendi. With bi-annual collections that consist of mainly wedding wear, they only create three sizes of each piece to ensure authenticity and exclusivity in the Pakistani market. Their past two seasons consisted of silks, chiffons, and crepes; one “midnight-again” inspired, and the other with inspiration from the “color-blocking” trend.

Thus far, the biggest challenges in the industry that Nayna Fashion House has recognized are the increase in competition, and the global recession. Social media is another aspect that should be mastered in the fashion industry now, that companies must pay attention to during the development process. As for their advice, they recommend to not “go for the ‘cliché’ markets, but to explore new oceans and demographics.”

Nayna Fashion House joined this competition because they believe that making their mark in Paris, one of the fashion capitals of the world, will not only expand their company, but also give the world a “softer” view on Pakistan through the portrayal of Pakistani labor. With the winnings, they hope to use it to come to Paris again next year! With big plans to expand their franchise to a global level by targeting international fashion house buyers, they are not looking back and love where their business is headed!
