Moore, the creative force behind Christine A. Moore Millinery. 1. Meet Christine A. Moore Christine A. Moore is not just a milliner; she's an artist whose canvas is the wide brim of a Derby hat. Based in New York, Christine's journey in millinery began with a background in theater costume design. This creative foundation paved the way for her unique approach to hat making, where each piece isn't just crafted; it’s curated. 2. From Theater to The Track Christine's career transitioned from theater to fashion after moving from Pennsylvania to New York. Her entry into the world of high fashion hats began in regional theater, but it was her love for design that led her to millinery. Christine's brand has grown to be one of the most recognized names in designer hat companies in the United States. Her collaborations with Churchill Downs and fashion showcases at the Kentucky Derby have set a new standard in hat fashion. 3. The Hats: A Blend of Style and Artistry In today’s episode, Christine shares insights into the design process and inspiration behind her famous Derby hats. Known for their vibrant colors, elegant feathers, and bespoke trims, each hat is a statement of personal style and craftsmanship. Highlights from her collection include the dramatic "Barbie Doll" inspired hat and several custom pieces adorned with unique feather arrangements and custom bows. Christine’s designs not only complement the face but transform the wearer, accentuating their features and adding a touch of glamour. 4. Transformative Art Christine Moore's hats are more than just accessories; they are pieces of art that frame the face, drawing attention to the wearer's eyes and enhancing their overall presence. As we discussed the role of hats in fashion and their power to transform, it became clear that Christine's work truly encapsulates the spirit of the Kentucky Derby - bold, beautiful, and timeless. “Christine’s hats not only celebrate the tradition of the Derby but elevate it, making every race an opportunity to showcase personal style and elegance.” That’s a Wrap!

Then, with a personal anecdote, she sets the stage by describing the mammoth task of cleaning out her mother-in-law’s 66-year-old house, revealing the treasures one can find in an old closet, like vintage clothes and accessories.

  • Menopause & Style...Is This a Thing? Part 2 | EP 192
    Apr 18 2024
    Hey, fashion friends! It’s the only Holly you need to know; Holly Katz, coming at you with another fab episode of the Fashion Crimes Podcast! Today, we are diving into Part 2 of “Menopause & Style…Is This a Thing?” We got such incredible feedback from last time that I just had to bring you more juicy tips and tricks because, let’s be real, we’re just scratching the surface here! If you haven’t caught up on our previous episodes, especially our Kaftan and Kimono extravaganza from last week, go back and listen to 1episode 191, don't missing out on some major style inspo from the "Mrs. Roper" night But enough about the past, let's get to the good stuff! Today’s show is all about embracing the changes that come with menopause and how to stay stylish through it all. Trust me, ladies, it’s not just about skincare and avoiding that turkey neck – it's about self-care for your changing body, mind AND your style. Key Elements of Menopause and Style 1. Understanding Your Changing Body: As your body changes, it's crucial to adapt your fashion to feel comfortable and confident. Explore fabrics that breathe well and silhouettes that flatter your specific body type. It's all about EVOLVING your style as you age. Otherwise, you run the risk of getting stuck in a style rut. 2. Invest in Quality Elevated Basics: Good foundational pieces like properly fitting bras and versatile tops can transform your look. Remember, comfort doesn’t mean sacrificing style! 3. Accessorize Wisely: Accessories can and will be your best friend! They can update any look and help you feel current without overhauling your entire wardrobe. Think bold necklaces, stylish scarves, and eye-catching earrings. 4. Stay Active: Incorporating regular weight bearing exercise into your routine not only boosts your health but also your confidence. If you don't build your muscle mass, you can lose it fast. 5. Mental Health Matters: Menopause can be a rollercoaster, but maintaining a positive body image and mental health will reflect outwardly in your style. Dress in ways that make you feel happy and vibrant. Remember, shopping for fit first will never steer you wrong. 6. Try Something New Fashion should be fun! Don’t be afraid to try new trends and step out of your comfort zone. You might find something unexpected that looks incredible on you.
