CITY STYLE
CITYWIDE
Dynamic duo set the style
Suzanne Jaya and Sue Brown run their own successful businesses but come to together to work with clients requiring a complete makeover. They have recently worked with Jessica Morgan, Managing Director of Space Studios.
Jessica had found it difficult to find the balance between wearing casual and professional attire. Her challenge to Suzanne and Sue was to transform her, so that she could present a more business-like image without compromising her need to look creative and approachable.
The style duo met with Jessica for an initial consultation to discover her thoughts for the ‘new look’ which had to suit her lifestyle, career, body shape and style preference.
The transformation process started with a Wardrobe Workout and style session with Suzanne, who helped Jessica to review her wardrobe, assess her body proportions and part with items that were unflattering. Suzanne then created a capsule wardrobe to help kick-start Jessica’s new image.
Later, Jessica’s waist-length hair was given the 5-star treatment by Alexis Williams from Blu Hair Design in Penarth. Alexis created a versatile look to meet Jessica’s needs as a business woman combined with her creative activities in the music industry and her social life.
“Jessica needs to be able to look professional yet jazz up her hair for the evening. We went for a free style, deep conditioning treatment and added this season’s colours of cool and warm metallic tones which blend together to add texture. The overall look is carefree yet polished”, commented Alexis regarding the makeover.
Next on the list was an express trip to Dee Dinaz for eyebrow threading to groom and give definition to Jessica’s eyes. Sue then identified suitable colours for clothes and make-up to compliment Jessica’s skin tone, hair and eyes. Jessica received a full colour analysis, application of make-up and some hot tips to try at home. Last, but not least, Suzanne, Sue and Jessica hit the High Street to shop for new clothes to complement Jessica’s existing wardrobe and to create the new, gorgeous,
look for her.

PONTCANNA, CARDIFF
Porsche design jewellery
Ever since Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche established the
Porsche Design brand in 1972, his products have been synonymous
with functional, classic and purist design. Porsche design jewellery is
no exception: sleek, bold and masculine, these sophisticated
accessories are a statement of the man who wears them.
Titanium, stainless steel, silver and gold combine with precious stones;
delicately set with diamonds, onyx and ebony, in cufflinks, tie clips, rings,
keyrings, bill clips and bracelets. The essence of luxury, these pieces are
created with the combination of perfect workmanship, clean lines and fluidity for which Porsche Design is renowned.
Fundamental, not decorative. Engineered, not just perfectly designed.
Luxury as a result of sheer purity: Porsche Design is truly unique. The
most advanced materials of quality combine in clear, linear shapes. Fine
traditional craftsmanship meets modern manufacturing technology for Passion, Performance, Purism and Precision.
In the latest collection, titanium is combined with stainless steel and rose
gold with onyx and diamonds or mother-of-pearl to create cufflinks,
rings, key rings, money clips and bracelets. The Multi Silhouette range
integrates the recognisable silhouette of the Porsche 911 crafted in stainless steel with guilloche and enamel.
The stainless steel components of the new ‘Grooves’ line are produced on
state-of-the-art, computer-controlled machines. Every piece is carefully
finished by hand to give it either a glossy or matte finish. Porsche Design
is one of the leading luxury brands in the segment of upmarket men’s
accessories.
