The myETVmedia team noticed that there were 5 trends that were showing up everywhere in the fashion buzz world for this holiday season. Sparkle, Art Deco, Accessories, pops of colour and a statement dress seem to be the key to making your fashion statement work this season – but we needed guidance on how to accomplish this. We asked fashion expert Kelly Claman who has an expert eye for the designers who are really on trend right now. Kelly Claman, President & CEO of Kelly Claman Company is a high-end fashion distributor has a keen eye for all things on trend. Just one look at her collections and you’re hooked. As you walk through her massive showroom, full of colourful jewels, sparkly bags, and racks upon racks of designer duds you can’t help but sigh with wistfulness. If only one day your closet could contain such gems. The question remained, where to start with our own holiday fashion mission?

Holiday Styling
We have highlighted the 5 main trends based on Kelly’s advice. We recommend you pick one trend at a time to work with. In 5 simple steps we’ll teach you how to incorporate some of this season’s hottest trends (with examples of wonderful pieces in Kelly’s showroom) into your life.

Sparkle
‘All that glitters’ is all the rage this season. From nail trends to skirts and tops to shoes and back we’re seeing everything covered in glitter and sparkle. If you’re new to the sparkle movement a clutch purse is the perfect way to incorporate this trend. Wear it with jeans, blazer and a pair of heels for a look that works from office to drinks with friends. For a bolder statement pair it with a knee length little black dress and a slick chiffon bun.

Accessories
The holidays are a perfect time to indulge. Whether it’s on cookies, peppermint mochas, extravagant costume jewelry or a new purse – now is the time to go for it all. We’re loving layering simple ‘bangles on bangles on bangles’, rocking a larger than life ‘statement necklace’ or bringing colour to our wardrobes with a statement bag. A Big ring, necklaces or earrings draw attention away from the 3 layers you’re wearing to beat the chill and draw it back to your fabulousness. Who wouldn’t want that?
