In Episode 172 of the Fashion Crimes Podcast, host Holly Katz and special guest Abby Young dive deep into the world of fashion, style, and color analysis. Abby is a personal commercial and fashion wardrobe stylist hailing from the sunny shores of California. Together they explore the significance of color analysis in fashion!   LISTEN HERE!     KEY TAKEAWAYS:   Fashion Styling and Self-Image Transformation   Abby shares her remarkable journey from being an eighth-grade teacher (UM WHAAT) to transitioning into the world of fashion styling. She attributes her passion for fashion and her love for teaching as the driving forces behind this transformative career change. Abby also highlights her move from the chill vibes of Minnesota to the vibrant fashion scene of California, appreciating the state's relaxed, bohemian atmosphere.   Holly and Abby then take a deep dive into the importance of style and self-expression, especially for mothers who might feel they've lost their fashion mojo after having children. Abby's personal journey may resonate with many listeners who have considered reinventing themselves through fashion.   Color Analysis and Personalized Styling   As personal stylists, Holly and Abby discuss the art of guiding clients through a personalized style journey. Holly emphasizes the importance of analyzing a client's silhouette and body type, enabling a strong foundation for personalized shopping with elite clients. Abby explains how the aging process can impact color choices, with colors generally remaining consistent every 10 years due to changes in pigmentation of one's complexion.   Abby underscores that high-level executives and entrepreneurs should invest in color testing to optimize their appearance and how they're perceived by their audience. She employs various techniques to determine a client's undertones, examining their skin tone across all four seasons and evaluating the contrast between their skin and the colors they wear.   Color Analysis and Fashion Advice   Holly and Abby explore the intricacies of color analysis, emphasizing that it goes beyond personal preference. Understanding how colors interact with different skin tones is crucial. They urge listeners to seek out trained professionals for in-person color analysis, as digital tests can be unreliable.   Color Analysis and The Personalized Styling Process   Holly asks about the specifics of Abby’s color analysis testing process, including duration and cost. Abby explains that her process typically takes around 30-45 minutes, with clients receiving their reports within one to two weeks. Clients can choose to work with Abby for clothing, makeup, or both. She also provides insights on selecting makeup colors that complement one's skin tone and facial structure.     Abby’s Mantra:   “At the end of the day - or when in doubt on what to wear - wear something that brings you confidence, whether you are sure or not that it looks good, or it's the right color. Wear something that you feel confident in when you leave the house - because mentally - you'll feel more confident, and people will see that.”     And that’s the short story on this week’s episode. Be sure to get the full episode and all our exclusive fashion insights wherever you get your podcasts.   We are so grateful for Abby’s fabulous fashion insights!

We are SO EXCITED to introduce our Very Special Guest this week - The Master of Bra-Fitting - Jenette Goldstein of Jenette Bras.    Jenette is a former award-winning actor (Aliens) and founder of Jenette Bras, a bra-fitting boutique specializing in sizes D-K, with locations in L.A. and Atlanta. Her tagline: "The alphabet starts at "D"."   As we all know - this is Holly’s favorite subject. But for a twist, Holly is the one learning new lessons - and her MIND WAS BLOWN after a session with Jenette at her boutique in Atlanta.   Join us this week as Jenette shares her amazing story of how she went from Hollywood movie sets to creating a niche business from scratch - with no business experience - and has found great create success by serving woman in a category that has mostly been ignored.    LISTEN TO EPISODE 169 here!   ABOUT JENETTE: Jenette Goldstein is the co-founder and CEO of Jenette Bras, the nation’s premier bra-fitting boutique for full-busted women. The company was founded in East Hollywood in 2009 and has grown to include four shops in Southern California and two in Atlanta.   She is also known for starring as Private Vasquez in the sci-fi horror film Aliens (1986), which won her the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress.   But what are here this week to celebrate her journey from successful actress to female entrepreneur – and the mountains she has climbed in-between.    HOW IT STARTED: For Jenette, this whole story may have started at age 12, when she visited the local “bra lady” with her mother, near a kosher butcher.    This was mortifying, but her visits to mall stores were even worse. The fits were abysmal; either the cups were too small, or the band slipped down to her waist. The problem continued plaguing her throughout her life.    With a 32 G bra size, describing herself as “small framed” yet “busty,” she grew increasingly frustrated.   But then, purely by divine intervention, she was in London and found a store servicing “girls that have a small ribcage and a fuller bust.” This experience literally changed her life, because this type of service and women’s undergarments in untypical sizes did not exist in the United States.    Fastforward to somewhere around the time in her 40s, when she found acting jobs becoming scarce, because Hollywood sucks for women.    So, with no business experience, she and her artist husband decided to fill the missing gap in women’s bra sizes and options by opening their first Jenette Bras boutique in LA.    She has since gone from launching a new career, a new company, expanding her brick-and-mortar stores, weathering the shutdown of COVID in the retail sector - and defying ageism – to become THE EXPERT in women’s foundation wear.    HOW TO BUY A BRA THAT FITS: The Importance of Bra Comfort & Self-Acceptance   A bra is the most technical piece of clothing to produce. You can compare it to a men’s tailored suit and or a finely made pair of shoes.   A bra must do the work. For instance, a skirt doesn't have to lift you, it can just look beautiful. The arch of a shoe must do the work: if it does support your arch, your whole body is affected.   The job of a bra is incredibly complicated. It must give comfort, support, and create a beautiful profile. Therefore, the research and development of making this item of clothing is intense.  “The price is not luxury pricing, it's quality pricing.” A bra is intimate. It is a beautiful piece of clothing. It's what you put on the first thing in the morning, and it should make you feel beautiful (as well as fit well, be comfortable and create a gorgeous silhouette).   That is your secret power. This is your blueprint for getting dressed. This is the foundation of building a great outfit.    Creating an outfit and feeling beautiful takes practice. And you really must start with the undergarments that support your body and give you the confidence that you need to feel fabulous in your clothes.   Everyone has what they call “problem areas,” or parts of the body they are self-conscious about. But this should not bring shame or embarrassment.    You have the power to reshape or support those areas so that you have the kind of confidence that makes you shine from within. Confidence is key. Holly and Jenette discuss their favorite undergarment brands, the benefits of a professional bra-fitting, and how bras are constructed so you can become an educated consumer!   We had SO MUCH FUN meeting Jenette, and we are grateful for the wealth of knowledge she has imparted on us this week!   Get Episode 168 wherever you get your podcasts - and be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel to see this full interview.  HAVE YOU JOINED THE BOOK CLUB?   In case you missed the WORLDWIDE RELEASE PARTY for Holly’s new book….

  Welcome to this special episode of the FASHION CRIMES PODCAST, where we celebrate the timeless allure of wisdom and the incredible journey of all women when they finally become “of a certain age.”   Your favorite personal stylist, and hostess with the mostest  - HOLLY KATZ - celebrated the BIG 5-0 this week! #DAMN   HOW IT STARTED: How was it turning 50? She did it! And she lived through it! And, yes, it was a fabulous, fabulosu day!   But she woke up feeling like, in order to get a handle on her second half, she needed to have some clear well-being goals that were going to give her new thought patterns moving forward. #sowise   Now that she is older and wiser, (right?) she decided that she wanted to shed some of the old self-limiting beliefs and create some new uplifting, self-loving beliefs.    This year, like many of us, had some major growing pains. So, with a new therapist, and an optimistic outlook, we thought it would be perfect for us to reflect on 10 Things That are Fabulous about Being 50 (or turning 50, or half-way through your 50s, etc.) HOLLY’S 10 THINGS THAT ARE FABULOUS ABOUT 50   10: You’re wearing the right bra. At this point in your life, your bra is the right size. There's no more guessing or wondering what your size is, you have the right bra which makes your clothes look better and fall correctly on your body. The bra-fitting experience is not only life changing, but also better for your posture and corrects any back issues that you may have.     9: You get to choose your own friends. Yes, you do. You now have the guts to remove people in your life that are no longer serving you. Think of this: after the last time someone takes advantage of you, or hurts your feelings, or takes you for granted - you need to be over it. Some people are in your life for a reason, some for a season, some for a lifetime.    8: You dress according to your body type.    At this point, you are well aware of which clothes elevate your mood and make you happy. You are body-aware and love to wear clothes that flatter your figure and your shape, which means you have correctly identified your body type. This means you know what cuts and silhouettes look best on you. Which means you only shop according to your body type, you do not shop for color, and you do not shop for price.                                             7: You’ve not afraid to say NO.    Or, at least you are getting better at saying no. Most of us do not want to disappoint people - and we may even bend over backwards to not make people upset. We’d rather rearrange our schedule, just to avoid saying “no.” Is this you? Well, not anymore, Sister.                     6: You continue to elevate your style as you age. By now, you know your body type and you enjoy shopping because you know what looks best on you. You're also not afraid to try new things that might be a little out of your comfort zone. You are wearing ‘elevated basics’ at home, which means you won’t embarrass yourself if the delivery guy rings your doorbell and he needs a signature.                                    5: You have self-care time each week. If you are a person that doesn't have control of their own schedule, chauffeurs kids in the car all day, is responsible for several people's well-being, and/or taking care of a loved one or sick person – you need self-care time. If you're working over 40 hours a week, or if you're lucky just to eat lunch during the day or have time to pee in between meetings - this one is for you. Listen up for the rest of the list on the FASHION CRIMES PODCAST, where we celebrate the timeless allure of wisdom and the incredible journey of all women when they finally start their fabulous 50's! HOW ITS GOING: It’s going great, because we are in our 50s now, and we just don’t have so much baggage anymore.
