Fashion and Style Experts Featured on October Crystal Cruise in Mediterranean

Saturday July 11, 2009

Those who want to spruce up their wardrobe, makeup, or personal style will enjoy the October 20 Crystal Cruises' Mediterranean cruise.

Fashion wardrobe stylists and designers will host a complimentary "Style Desk" aboard Crystal Serenity's 12-day Venice to Barcelona itinerary. Fashion experts will offer one-on-one consultations, answer fashion dilemmas, and help travelers enhance their own personal sense of style.

Stylist/costume designer Anna Wycoff and designer Gayle Davis will also provide an insider's look at the fashion world, with a strong emphasis on European style. The team will present a colorful look at the evolution of European fashion and cinema costuming, culminating in an afternoon tea themed with a 1950's vintage fashion show.

Fashionable highlights of the voyage include:

Fashion & Style Desk – Stylists offer personal consultations to perfect your look.
Personal Style – Embracing Authenticity as a Virtue – From Bardot to Bogart: A discussion of signature styles.
European Cinema Costuming – Learn how costumes enhance a film's story, and examine iconic characters from films like La Dolce Vita and Roman Holiday set in the ship's destinations.
A European Fashion Evolution – Explore the 1950's to 60's, when a radical ready-to-wear European revolution replaced manicured couture.
Fashion Show Tea – "Riviera Rendezvous," a vintage fashion show created exclusively for Crystal guests.

Anna Wyckoff is a Los Angeles-based costume designer and personal wardrobe stylist who has styled runway shows on both coasts. Gayle Davis is the co-owner of the M Stevens dancewear company who also custom designs and styles under her own label.
