Two things we love about E!’s new show—aside from the fashion? One, it features our favorite person- Dani Stahl- as the image & style consultant for One Management, and two: check out the Charlotte Ronson Spring 2012 runway in the opening credits! You can also see the show in the sneak peek video ( around :52) above. We’re pretty sure Dani had something to do with it. (We’re pretty sure she’s wearing Charlotte Ronson x Sephora A Perfect Kiss Lipgloss in her bio photo, too.)
DANI STAHL
Image and Style Consultant
As the style editor-at-large at Nylon magazine, Dani is a leader and icon in the fashion world. Her monthly column “Factory Girl,” documenting her travels to different fashion factories around the globe, including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Cartier and Nike, has gained a tremendous following over the past few years.
“I love holiday decor that is as meaningful as it is festive. My family and I celebrate Hanukkah and Christmas — always making tradition a focal point for both. We tend to celebrate with a lot of the English things we loved growing up. We have a tree and we pick up our favorite Christmas stockings from Tea & Sympathy in the West Village. They’re filled with the best Cadbury chocolates. We also get Christmas Crackers every year to decorate the table — they are crackers wrapped in a twist of bright paper and hold little toys or paper crowns inside. I also try to be thoughtful in every gift I give, down to its wrapping. I always prefer visiting fabric trim shops, such as M&J Trims, over buying wrapping paper and ribbon in bulk. I like using beautiful lace, velvet and printed florals, plaids or embroidered ribbon to give each gift a special finishing touch.”
