Spring Style Standouts with Elysze Held

Dressing well is not just about having an "in wardrobe" - having "great style" is only about determining the variety of clothing you wear to express your genuineness. As for personal style, a phrase so often overused on social media, it is a means to reveal who you are without even having to speak. I began this column years ago when Miami itself began to submerge from the label of being a 'beach town', and morph into the foundation of becoming a world-class city. The development of this occurrence was first noticeable not only in the emergence of the sky-high buildings or the plethora of art enthusiasts cascading into the 305, but in the manner in which the Miami set began to dress. And, for me, a life-long devotee of fashion, I set my roots. Fashion fuels me, excites me, you can never know everything about it, and I continue to be inspired by the style that has become Miami Style. And Spring is THE season for the social set -- I once asked a designer what he thought of Miami style, and he said GREAT! The Miami woman actually does wear the color that is shown on the Spring runway!

Social Styles: Standouts with Stylist Elysze Held (3/13/2018)

In honor of “International Women’s Day, I thought I would feature just a few fabulous women (and an honorary male!) whom I had spotted rocking great looks this past month alone…at FEMALE CENTRIC Soirées: A cocktail reception at Riveria Country Club in honor of Judge Bronwyn Miller; Wine, Women and Shoes for the MCHF; BBBS Gala Honoring Edie Laquer; Iran Issa Khan’s Birthday Month Celebration; the Miami Symphony Orchestra’s salute to Zaha Hadid at The Moore Building.

Social Styles: Standouts with Stylist Elysze Held

I decided for this end of the year feature to focus on a few great looks...to share the photos of a few of my favorite looks. True style can be imitated of course, but never really copied. What is STYLE? The word itself is often overused but it"s still the only one that fits in this case-it is something more captivating than "BEST DRESSED" and something more enigmatic than the similarly global term "SO CHIC".

Social Styles: The Season Heats Up!

There is an eclectic fusion of style happening now in Miami - as evidenced by the stylish sightings by Elysze Held at October charity events. In kicking off the Miami Social Season, the local style set certainly hits the high notes when it comes to fashion!

Social Styles: NYFW Spring2018

After a shuttling in and around Manhattan for a week of countless fashion shows, my NYFW Spring2018 expedition was not simply all over town, but the shows content was aesthetically all over the map. End result? Something for everyone! Diversity in size and shape was the overall story here in the casting of models as well as the unique balance of soft and hard silhouettes, textures and attitudes.

Standouts were the bright flashes of vibrant colors—racy red and sunshine yellow freshened up the predictable palette of black and white while pink is the strong contender for the Color of Season for Spring 2018. And we know how Florida feels about pink!
