THE A LIST OF LUXURY LIVING

WINTER

ISSUE

Ethos Design Collective Let us usher in the a new year of making memories, and time well spent, with loved ones.

A Glimpse into Our World of Luxury Design During winter.

Welcome to our first issue, where we unveil the exclusive interior designers of Ethos Design Collective, along with the talented network of artists, brands and resources that we rely on; collectively known as ‘The A-List of Luxury Living’...those we turn to to help us create the stunning backdrops for your most cherished memories.

For us, gathering means connecting with loved ones, being present in the moment, and offering our most valuable gift: personal time, and sharing these stories, together.

As you reminisce upon each passing year, can you recall the porch where you had your first kiss, the bedroom of your childhood or teenage years, or the home that you created for your marriage and new family?

Do you remember the smell of your newborn’s head as you cradled them under your chin? Where you sitting in your corner nursery chair?

Can you remember the furniture you grew up with, the colors and wallpaper, or the office where you landed your first big break.

Our carefully chosen luxury designers have the ability to help us create the stunning backdrops for our most cherished memories. The ones that transcend time and space.

When looked back upon, interior design is the vehicle that carries you through life.

As we create new memories, let's raise our glass to these visionaries who make a greater impact on the world and the wellness of those who experience their designs daily.

We also wish to extend a special thank you to our amazing clients and vetted, trusted exclusive resources: the craftsmen, artisans, entertainers, and impact driven legacy makers who inspire our designs and provide the products and services that help us bring them to life.

Our deepest gratitude goes to all of those who blessed us with the stories and creativity within these pages.

May their gifts remind us of why we invest so readily to create and preserve amazing spaces: for the joy these spaces return to us when we need it the most.

Every time we invite guests into our sacred spaces, the pride we feel becomes proof positive that we hold our dwellings and environments as one of our most treasured and valuable investments.

Here’s to looking back on cherished memories and sacred spaces and to looking forward to building a life and legacy we love with our partners, friends, and family of the Ethos Design Collective.

CHEERS to 2024 and many more!

D HOLIDAY Design

HOME for the HOLIDAYS Luxury Interior Designer, Courtney Otte, Design

Principal of

The Modern Hive Interior Design Studio,

shares the transformation of a midwest lake home

into a holiday oasis, just in time for the family’s return from their Florida vacation.

A

After completing a comprehensive remodel of a client's early 2000's lake house in the Midwest, they asked us to decorate the home for the holidays. They had just purchased the house before the renovation began and were approaching the decorations with a fresh slate.

How could we decline when we had invested so much careful thought, attention to detail, and care in the home's renovation?

Our goal for the home remodel was to create open and connected spaces. We wanted to give this home a bright and neutral feel that would

provide comfort while looking over the lake throughout all seasons. The client also desired a lot of seating to host friends and their large growing family.While our clients were wrapping up their Fall season at their Florida home, we got to work on decorating the home for the holidays.

Our team had an absolute blast carefully selecting holiday decor that matched the aesthetic of the home perfectly!

Yes, there might be a viral reel on our instagram feed of our team in holiday PJ's dancing around in the living room as we decorate.

Carefully crafted decor and detail went into decorating this client's home for Christmas. We wanted the decor to feel cozy, yet natural and complementary to the space we just remodeled.

Hand selected Christmas bulbs were chosen for the tree, soft and delicate mini christmas trees and wreaths were placed throughout, cozy faux fur blankets and pillows were placed in the corners of the sofa, and mercury glass candle hurricanes were placed on the table to give the table the most enchanting and welcoming feeling as one would sit down for Christmas dinner. Each and every element chosen for this client's holiday home was carefully considered.

Photos: Mandy McGregor Photography Words: Courtney Otte & Kelly Schellert

The Reveal: When our clients arrived

home late one evening, the house was all lit up and

waiting for them to begin their family holiday festivities! Their remarks: "We just walked

into the house. I think I'm going to cry! your team absolutely nailed it! Thank you for

making this an amazing

Christmas for my family!" The home truly felt magical, like a

scene from a Hallmark movie - it was even hard for our

team to leave at the end as it just felt so warm and cozy!

very merry go-round EDITOR’S NOTE: A modern twist on a holiday classic, the artisan crafted nativity scene pairs beautifully with the rounded, organic elements in the house design,

MODERN RAIL HOLIDAY DECOR

echoing notes of the natural, in lieu of overpowering the design.

We love this modern take on traditional holiday decor that overall enhances and embraces the entire design in lieu of upstaging it. Bravo!

BELOW: In keeping with the lighter design palette, the simple greenery calls to mind nostalgia of years past, and visiting tree farms at the holidays.

SIMPLE ABUNDANCE

ABOVE: Minimalist decor with a pop of various reds set the stage for a beautiful gathering, fostering connection and gratitude for simple abundance. The modern railing makes for a perfect place to hang stockings.

Tips For Designing a Home with Subtle Decor

Chalk it up to...

When it comes to creating with subtle home decor, light, white and pale colors are always a great choice. Add a pop of color and plenty of greenery to complete the look.

To ground the pale palette, try incorporating matte black elements that create a beautiful frame around the decor. Don't forget to add reflective items to bring a bit of sparkle to the space, evoking the magic of the season.

GOING TO NEW HEIGHTS Courtney and her team have brilliantly used design implements to draw the eyes upward, accentuating the space's full ceiling height and volume. This technique makes a grand impact on the overall design and we absolutely love it.

ENHANCE WITH COZY TEXTURES The soft touch of plush textures on your skin is unparalleled. Similarly, your big, open living space would benefit from layers of texture to soften the hard angles of home construction and furniture, like this Ermelo throw.

NEW YEAR SUPERSTITION Our favorite contemporary twist is undoubtedly the copper Christmas tree pot (featured on the next page). Both beautiful and practical, it pays homage to the old folk ritual of placing coins on your windowsill on New Year's Eve in hopes of bringing good fortune for the year ahead.

A WORD ABOUT THE AMBASSADORS, FROM ETHOS FOUNDER, KELLY SCHELLERT: It truly takes a village to launch a search engine, membership site, interactive app and online digital publication that serves to benefit the entire ecosystem. The talented designers who amass our Brand Ambassadorship are leaders in their own right, many of them speaking multiple languages, and representing the very diverse culture that we embody, as well as that of the design communities that we serve.

In addition to running their own successful luxury interior design firms, they attend monthly Brand Ambassador training with me, to carry out the unique, and united, ethos and culture across the globe, whether curating new exclusive members or bringing the right brand partners and events to us, to partner with. You can click on the links above, to contact them directly, with potential opportunities for Ethos Design Collective, including the Brand Ambassador.

If you have a chance to work with any of our Ambassadors or one of our exclusive and select Ethos Designer Members, I know you will be blessed beyond measure.

c Creative Storytelling The Craft of Preserving Memories:

Immortalizing sacred moments has significant historical impact PLUS...

Pro Tips For Getting Your Very Best Images.

KEN LEWIS

Director of Marketing Johnny Davis Digital Solutions

Celebrations often bring together family and friends, creating cherished moments.

Photography immortalizes these moments, preserving the joy, laughter, and warmth shared during these special times.

-Ken Lewis

The importance of story preservation

Photos/Above: Kelly Schellert , Ethos Design Collective Words: Ken Lewis and Johnny Davis, Johnny Davis Digital

Traditions evoke nostalgia, and photographs act as time capsules, allowing us to revisit those memories.

Reminiscing through family photos encourages reflection on the blessings and the people in our lives.

He called the kitchen and I answered.

Then asked if he could get two ribeye steaks for breakfast at 5am. I told him we don’t open till 6am. He then says I’ll give you $100 for two ribeyes at 5:30…. I said I’ll see you at 5:30 sir!”

Get Away To Food Lover’s Paradise:

C

San Sebastián,Spain

the

Michelin

Oast

“Fun fact: San Sebastián has the most Michelin star restaurants per square meter than any other city in the world.”

S

San Sebastián, also known as Donostia, is a picturesque coastal city nestled along the rugged mountains and sandy beaches, in the north of Spain. Aside from the diverse terrain, San Sebastián is a food lover's paradise!

A visit to the city is incomplete without strolling through its historic district and indulging in pintxos, single portions of a variety of delicious foods that are similar to tapas.

While exploring the delights in the old city, you can make a meal from visiting the bars and trying out a new pintxo and drink in each one!

We caught up with an American interior designer, Maryanna Estornes, who writes the travel diaries for her own page and clothing brand, @maryannatravels, on Instagram, to learn about her courageous move across the world, and get the ins and outs of living in Donostia.

Maryanna Estornes

MARYANNA’S JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE WORLD: RELOCATING TO SPAIN FOR LOVE, WORK AND IMMERSION Maryanna's story starts like many others – for the love of a countryman and his work. Her husband, a dual citizen of the US and Spain, was working for a Spanish company that specializes in train construction.

This is how they met, when he was assigned to an Amtrak project. After living in America for twelve years and starting a family, her husband was offered a position back in his hometown of Donostia / San Sebastian, Spain. A year and a half ago, the family made the bold decision to move halfway around the world in order to fully immerse themselves in the vibrant Basque culture of Spain. Since then, Maryanna and their two boys have become fluent in Spanish.

EXPLORING THE FAMILYFRIENDLY PORTSIDE BELOW URGULL MOUNTAIN Discover the perfect family vacation spot at the portside just beneath the towering Urgull mountain. Take pleasure in a daily fish market, restaurants, souvenir shops, an aquarium, a carousel, and a park that are all within walking distance along the scenic boardwalk. The ideal time to witness the stunning sunset is at this location. As the night falls, the carousel lights up and becomes a fun-filled ride for everyone.

DISCOVERING THE BEAUTY OF LA ZURRIOLA BRIDGE

Photos: and Words: Maryanna Estornes

The La Zurriola Bridge, constructed in 1915, is one of six bridges with distinctive designs that span over the Urumea river. The bridge's primary function is to link the boulevard to the Gros district. Although all six bridges are breathtaking, the La Zurriola Bridge stands out for its proximity to the ocean, making it the most magnificent in my eyes.

Constant exposure to pounding waves, however, has necessitated frequent repairs and reconstruction to ensure its continued longevity.”

Top-Left: Holidays in San Sebastian include many streets decorated with lights.

Lights, Camera and Action SAN SEBASTIAN DURING THE HOLIDAYS

Photos: and Words: Maryanna Estornes

“I love that this city celebrates an evening of turning the Christmas lights on. Typically the last Friday in November or first friday in December there is an evening of fireworks, concerts, and celebration. The crowd will countdown from 10 and all of the lights in the city will turn on.

I also enjoy the Christmas market which is open all December long with local made jewelry, candles, toys, and more. The Christmas market is also a spot to grab mulled wine, roasted chestnuts, candied nuts, and fresh churros”.

BASQUE-ING IN THE GLOW The city truly sparkles during the Christmas season with lights adorning every street. One of the main

Photos: and Words: Maryanna Estornes

attractions is the grand Ferris wheel, located near La Concha beach, which offers stunning views of the city from the top.

Even families brave the mild winter temperatures to marvel at the sights, including the impressive sculptures crafted by local students. Take a look at the large glow ball sculpture featured here – it's just one of many festive pieces on display!

During the holidays, the Michelin rated, restaurantlined streets are lit up, making for a truly magical experience.

KEEPING WITH TRADITION On December 21 we celebrate Santo Tomas. The tradition dates back to 1351 when the townspeople would come to the city to pay their taxes for their land.

Today it’s celebrated with everyone coming together and enjoying txistorra (left) which is a traditional sausage here. It’s served either with bread or “talo” which is like a corn flatbread.

We connected with Ethos vetted luxury interior designer, Rydhima Brar, the ” Queen” of Los Angeles bar and residential designs, to learn more about her love of cocktails, interiors and the Pasadena Showhouse concept: a truly phenomenal piece, featuring the craftsmanship of Bones Studio custom wood furniture.

According to Brar, “the bar was designed especially for the Pasadena Showcase House in 2023, in collaboration with Bones Studio. The idea was to create an amazing outdoor cocktail experience”.

The outdoor bar design incorporated two (2) Zephyr undercounter beverage units but it was the design that stole the show, with a unique, three dimensional quality, crafted from wood.

ARTISAN SPOTLIGHT: Bones Studio This bar was designed especially for the Pasadena Showcase House in 2023, in collaboration with Bones Studio and Ethos Designer Member and Ethos Design Collective Global Ambassador, Rydhima Brar (design principal of R/terior Studio).

The idea was to create an amazing outdoor cocktail experience. Bones Studio is known for their amazing craftsmanship, meticulous details and innovative design ideas, which very much aligns with Rydhima's design aesthetic.

The Bar was recently sold at auction at L.A's West Edge Fair where the proceeds went to the Hollywood Food Coalition.

There is a time and a place for classics…

For example, soaking in a hot bubble bath, salts effervescing, a glass of Cabernet nearby, candles flickering. In this ambiance, turning the pages of a classic romance novel makes total sense.

But there’s also a time for innovation. A need for something fresh and exciting. The desire to reinstate the element of surprise that made you fall head-over-heels in love with it in the first place. (As you may know by now, the best things are born out of the need for change!)

Yes, my friend, I am talking about reinvention.

What’s a cocktail got to do with all this…?

If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you know it’s no secret — I love me a craft cocktail. (In fact, we invent a signature cocktail for all of our full service clients!) I was in the mindset of openness and reinvention when I stumbled across this recipe for a LAVENDER OLD FASHIONED. #BestSippedWith: -#Unexpectedly Daring Interiors -#Bold Colors and Patterns -#Subtle Interiors Steeped in Mystery -#Library Calm and Speakeasy Thrill

A craft cocktail is just like a well-designed interior...

THE LAVENDER OLD FASHIONED This updated version features bourbon in place of whiskey, along with lavenderinfused simple syrup, and a lemon berry tincture. In one subtle move, this recipe twists creates a feminine playfulness, an innate flirtatiousness, and a hint of mystery, making you wonder to yourself, “Oooh, what will THAT taste like?”

I have tasted it, and let me tell you — it is to die for!

This cocktail got my creative juices flowing and I found myself asking, “How can this simple interaction with a new drink inspire my work as a designer?”

And then it all clicked… a craft cocktail is just like a well-designed interior.

Creating Synergy Between Designers and

Realtors for the Benefit of Luxury Consumers Globally, via the Ethos Interactive App

Designers and Realtors can team up as referral and event partners to provide top-notch service to luxury customers worldwide. Even though there are designers and Realtors who work in both fields, each one provides distinct advantages to the industry. As I recognized the areas where they overlapped and the potential benefits of partnering, I decided to develop a special program that would unite these high-end Realtors and designers and present them to our luxury consumers via the Ethos Interactive App. The idea came to me after speaking with my Legacy Maker sister, Kasandra Henry, who is a luxury Realtor. We discussed the advantages of the program and what it could look like for both parties. I enlisted the help of Ethos Global Brand Ambassador, Ana Santos of Ana Santos Interiors (based in Chicago, Illinois), while Kasandra brought in CEO, Jody Nelson, of Lysi Bishop, a top-tier luxury real estate firm headquartered in Boise, Idaho.

GLOBAL LUXURY DESIGNER /REALTOR m a r g o r P r e Partn The Benefits of Design and Realtor Teams for Discerning Clientele Designers can serve a wide range of clients, including those who are renovating their properties for sale, or realtors who have just sold a home or commercial property requiring design and renovation work. Having these teams in place is advantageous for clients as it provides them with a one-stop-resource for their needs.

Ethos Hosts Successful Zoom Event with Media Partner and Designer Members Recently, Ethos teamed up with Media Partner, Cindy Christi, and Program Directors Kasandra, Ana and Jody to host a Zoom event. The aim was to share our vision, answer questions, and receive feedback on how to make the program a success for all parties involved.

The key takeaway from the event was the significant benefit to our clientele. Through our concierge service, we provide a trusted, vetted network of Principal designers and Realtors working together in pairs around the world.

Partner pairs can also benefit designers and Realtors by opening up new opportunities across the US or abroad. They can collaborate on luxury events and house tours, which is beneficial for all involved to create galas and fundraisers with maximum community impact.

The Ethos Interactive App provides an easy way to find, connect, and direct message, privately, within the platform, away from the overwhelming noise of social media. Moreover, VIP subscribers can shop and access (or sign up) for many incredible, exclusive perks through the app.

KASANDRA HENRY Certified Keller Williams Luxury Realtor

Is now truly the time to buy and sell real estate?

Most real estate transactions slow down during winter months, creating more opportunities for luxury buyers! In my book, a slower market means more inventory and a big YES to real estate deals!

If you are a cash buyer, there is never a better time to negotiate than when the market is slow.

What about interest rate and housing price fluctuations?

The Federal Reserve announced the news that in 2024 we may see interest rates drop.

As soon as rates drop, housing prices will go up.

Lower interest rates bring in more buyers, even with the rising prices of homes.

Due to this the inventory we have so much of right now, will start disappearing.

Consumers have the power right now, while rates are up. Before the rates drop we can negotiate the price of the home you want, and then when the rates drop, simply refinance!

Now you have the perfect gift for yourself, the home you love at the price you want, and the lower interest rates next year for those who opt to finance will be the bow on top.

TIPS FOR MOVING DURING THE WINTER SEASON from Professional Realtor, Angela Nixon and Luxury Designer, Kelly Schellert

TIPS FOR MOVING DURING THE WINTER SEASON KEEP YOUR HOLIDAYS SIMPLE We are focusing on getting into our new home.

Yes, we love the holidays and we are putting our focus into making memories instead of hitting all of the parties and decorating every room in the house (which I’ve been known to do in the past!)

2 PODS!!!These things are amazing. It’s a

game changer to be able to box the closets up and get them out of the house. Not sure how we ever moved before pods were around.

4

1 A LITTLE AT A TIME For me, cleaning out those closets, and maybe that storage room in the basement was not as scary as I thought it was going to be. GET THE BIG JOBS DONE FIRST!

3 ONE LAST NOTE

Although moving during the holidays is not always ideal, I love it!! There is less competition and it’s a great opportunity to beat the busier Spring market.

GET

MEDIA READY FOR YOUR LEGACY The secret to falling in love with your voice and stepping into the spotlight with confidence, clarity and ease depends on how well you can answer this one question:

WWW.CINDYCHRISTI.TV

YOU KNOW YOU’RE A LEGACY MAKER

.…when you’re vested in making the world better. To create the IMPACT you’re truly capable of, you need a clear PLAN with a concise value proposition, a community to pour your heart into, and heart centered accountability to keep you LEVELING UP! When you can help your audience see themselves as thriving in the world you are creating, they will naturally become the ones to help you get there, because of the rapport and trust they’ll feel when your mission matches, solves, and inspires their own.

YOUR

ENDGAME VISION

What’s your vision for 2024? Every quarter I host LIVE group trainings dedicated to vision mapping; a practice I encourage every Legacy Maker do often!

“Your Vision X Amplified” Masterminds are virtual retreats dedicated to Legacy Makers who know that visualizing, mapping and celebrating wins are essential to leading movements that matter. Every retreat includes a step-by-step Vision Map so you have a place to start if you don't know your “End Game” and a powerful tool to polish up, if you do! For details on our next event email hello@cindychristi.TV.

WWW.ETHOSDESIGNCOLLECTIVE.COM

LEAD WITH

PEACE, PURPOSE & A PLAN

“Get Media Ready for the difference you’re called to make.”

Every time you step up to the mic, in front of the camera, and into the spotlight you have the choice to be INTENTIONAL about everything you communicate.

From your colors, to your style, to your presence, to your eye contact…each has a “language” of its own and speaks volumes for you.

Prior to your next shoot, or appearance, practice setting your heart’s INTENTION in advance so that the love behind your message shines brightly and brilliantly THROUGH you.

To move mountains for your mission and with media, consider creating a Manifesto; a declaration of BEing designed to help both you and your audience understand who you are, what you stand for, how you serve them and WHY.

MAKE IT EPIC

If you know you’re called to the spotlight in 2024 access My Million Dollar Manifesto training on the Legacy Maker Academy App. Or book a discovery call with me at: www.CindyChristi.TV And let’s turn your VISION into IMPACT that LASTS.

to LIVING WELL WITH INTENTION 7 Simple Steps to Set Up Your 2024 Strategy BREA SHARRON ESTEP

THIS IS THE

SEAS o N

TO HONOR YOUR PROMISES TO YOURSELF

Dear New Year's You….

You've likely been contemplating resolutions, goals, or even what you'd rather leave behind in 2023. But feeling overwhelmed by it all? From what to eat and drink to workout routines—perhaps past resolutions didn't quite stick.

So, let's simplify. Think of each step as an ascent up a ladder. Start with number one: Track it meticulously. Use big check marks daily on a calendar—visual reminders are powerful. Build momentum, maintain your streak, celebrate victories, then solidify it as a habit. Once it's second nature, move on to step two.

2024 7 SIMPLE

STEPS TO SET UP YOUR 2024 STRATEGY

STARTING HERE & NOW...

STEP TWO TAKE A FUNCTIONAL MULTI-VITAMIN

STEP ONE DITCH THE DRINKS THAT DON’T HYDRATE

Your body is mostly water —staying hydrated is essential for overall function, waste elimination, regulating blood sugar, and enhancing skin and weight. Aim for at least half your body weight in ounces daily.

Your body is a complex chemical reaction, needing foundational vitamins and minerals. Opt for a functional medicine multivitamin with superior third-party testing and absorbable forms, especially if dealing with an MTHFR gene mutation.

STEP FOUR MAKE EXERCISE A PRIORITY

Regular physical activity strengthens the cardiovascular system, reduces disease risks, enhances mood, and improves cognitive function. Start with walking and progress gradually.

STEP SIX GET DAILY SUNSHINE

Sunshine aids vitamin D production, mood, sleep regulation, immunity, and cardiovascular health.

Moderate exposure boosts serotonin, alleviating depression and anxiety.

STEP THREE SLEEP IS NON-NEGOTIABLE

Crucial for physiological and cognitive functions, sleep aids cellular repair, muscle growth, and memory consolidation. It regulates emotions, learning, concentration, and boosts immunity. Aim for 8 hours, aligning with natural cortisol spikes— sleep by 10 PM, up at 6 AM.

STEP FIVE FILL YOUR PLATE WITH VEGGIES

Packed with vital nutrients, antioxidants, and low in calories, vegetables reduce chronic disease risks and aid weight management.

Aim for 7-9 servings of fruits and vegetables daily.

STEP SEVEN BEGIN YOUR DAY WITH A SMOOTHIE

A digestible breakfast option, a smoothie packed with protein, fruits, and vegetables jump-starts your day, aiding energy levels.

As an Integrative Health Practitioner with 15+ years in health and fitness, New Year's is my Super Bowl. I'm thrilled to cheer you on to make 2024 your best year yet!

Pantone’s Color of the Year, “Peach Fuzz.”

P T “Pantone is the world’s color authority, celebrating the world’s most iconic

colors,” said Russo. “Pantone predicts which color is going to be used in fashion, cosmetics, home furnishings and textiles. While the Color of the Year for 2024 is released now, it won’t be until 2025 or 2026 when the general public begins to catch on. This year’s ‘peach fuzz’ color is particularly unique and complex. We’ll begin to see mostly pink and dark reds with soft yellow undertones, which will create very interesting spaces.”

N

O

AN O E “On it’s own, peach can

be a comforting color, but I’m all

about creating a mood, and bringing

drama through the use of deep tones, such as black. Taking a saccharine

color like peach and pairing it with

black, especially with copper metals

mixed in, ground the overly-sweet hue

and make it more easy to live with, as well as striking a dramatic contrast.

I can see doing an all black design

with a pop of the peach color in art and in textiles

so that when you get tired of it, or trends shift, you can swap it out easily.”

Trendspotting Tiffany Cassidy, Lagnappe Custom Interiors

We are delighted to bring you a few of the design trends we are loving for 2024 and look forward to incorporating into our client’s homes this coming year.

Color Gone are the days of great! In the Caribbean, it is impossible not to pull inspiration from our beautiful surroundings which include all of the vibrant colors we see in our sunrises, sunsets and blue water days,

Curved Lines Rounded edges feel soft, casual and organic, perfect for our barefoot elegance vibe.

Organic Textures Part of taking inspiration from nature is using natural textures to bring the outdoors in and add interest to a room without overpowering it. We are always on the lookout for textiles with interesting textures that we can incorporate into our work.

Induction Cooktops With no harmful emissions and so easy to clean, we are loving induction for 2024! It also provides great temperature control and heats quickly. We’d love to hear from those who have induction in their homes and your feedback on it. DM our Instagram @lagnappe.interiors

Sustainability Living on an island, sustainability is extremely important to us.

We want to do our part to keep our island home healthy and free from *Fast fashion for the home* that ends up in our landfills. This is why we love working with furniture manufacturers that build pieces that last, like @gatcreek. which one of these trends speaks to you the most?

#EthosEyeOnDesign:

Trendspotting

From Bare To Bold:

Dark, textured wallpaper and gold pendants gave rise to this dramatic master bedroom transformation. Competing with floor to ceiling windows, and a city view of Chicago, the vision was understated, masculine elegance.

Quiet elegance is more than a trend for 2024. It is beautiful design, in a supporting role, that’s timeless.

THE SYNERGY BETWEEN TWO FAMILYOWNED COMPANIES IN ST. LOUIS

RICK GELBER

CYNTHIA GELBER

Although one company boasts a fifth generation of iconic fashion makers and the other is run by a mother-daughter team, they share more similarities than differences. Their passion for family, the artistic expression of femininity through exquisite materials and designs, and their dedication to quality have led to global distribution for the unique styles of Cynthia Richard and Dollz Prom and Bridal.

WWW.ETHOSDESIGNCOLLECTIVE.COM

ALL IN THE FAMILY Keeping with tradition, Cynthia Richard Style owners, Cynthia and Rick Gelber, are joined by their daughters, Katelyn Gelber, Director of Marketing and Megan Perry, Director of Sales.

KATELYN GELBER

MEGAN PERRY

“As for our vision for 2024, we only look to trends to see what the consumers are asking for with a true focus on giving the brand a sense of time and place, for here and now.

Katelyn weighed in on the vision for 2024 and the familial roles in the company. “My sister, Megan, is instrumental in helping with design and creative, and manages wholesale.

We are a team, working better together.”

This year is about elevating the sneakers of the past, adding platforms and taking them to new heights and making them more elegant, including gems and stones in a tasteful way.

Our Fearless rhinestone wedges can be worn with anything from sophisticated and elegant to very trendy and hip, youthful styles.”

OUR STYLE TRUTHS According to Gelber, this year's fashion trends will focus on quiet, tasteful elegance and luxury.

The feminine styles that their company is known for will make a comeback, celebrating the uniqueness of women as a whole. The modern versions of Mary Janes are also making a comeback. The company's collection is already in line with these trends, as they focus on instilling confidence rather than following trends. Their Ricky boot, for example, sets a quiet, understated tone in blush leather that still manages to exude empowerment when worn.

The company's designs are all about making the wearer feel luxurious, strong, vibrant and confident.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY As Katelyn states on the Cynthia Richard Style website, “We aim to create shoes that inspire confidence. Appreciation for style is something that has been passed down to us from 5 generations in fashion. It's important to us to welcome our customers into our family to celebrate beauty and help you find deeply rooted confidence.

We believe that true confidence is found within and it will always speak louder than the latest trend. We also know that what you put on changes the way you feel about yourself.

Cynthia Richard is a family business with a passion to empower women to express the truest version of themselves.

Here, you’ll find a shoe collection that is designed with your story at the center.

1. CONFIDENCE IS SEXY Commanding presence in the room without trying.

2. MODERN LUXURY Our collections are the highest quality, made in Brazil and Italy.

3. BOLDNESS Fashion is an expression of who you are and how you feel about yourself.

4. TIMELESS ELEGANCE "True style never tries too hard. " Rick Gelber It’s time to say goodbye to nothing-to-wear, our shoes will make everything in your closet look amazing.

“TRUE

STYLE

NEVER TRIES TOO HARD.”

DRESSMAKER & CURATOR

A WORLDLY PERSPECTIVE: THE STORY BEHIND A DREAMY BOUTIQUE IN CHESTERIELD, MISSOURI As soon as you step inside Asmaa's luxurious boutique, located in Missouri's Chesterfield Valley, it's clear that her international upbringing has played a crucial role in her passion for creating one-of-a-kind dresses. Her love for curating and designing elegant dresses for diverse clients of all ages was sparked during her childhood years traveling around the world with her pilot father.

From Italy, the United Kingdom, Greece, to the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Kuwait and Malaysia, she discovered and adored a myriad of cultures, styles, and hand-craft techniques that would later shape her life's work.

At the tender age of 17, Asmaa began her couture career, but subsequently pursued a Medical Science degree in the United States, graduating in 2011. However, her love for creative expression in the world of bridal, prom, and pageantry fashion drew her back in, and in 2013, she established her own formal wear boutique.

Asmaa and her daughter Yasmin Aldabas made their dream a reality by opening their very first,

No matter the trends, your desired look, style or feel of your big day or special event, the boutique is known for its vast selection of formal, bridal, prom, and pageant dresses, including independent, well-known designer dresses that are typically found in exclusive, boutique salons worldwide. One of the pageant dresses, which was hand-sewn in Russia, features white faux fur and exquisite three dimensional flowers and lace “ice” details on the sheer bodice/sleeves (shown below, on model, Little Miss Missouri, United USA 2023, Presley Annelise). Their service oriented team provides assistance in coordinating accessories and even men’s formal wear for your other half, in order to look your best at your next special occasion.

This beautiful mother-daughter dynamic duo's exceptional talent and topnotch products along with one-stop services were quickly recognized, leading to a relocation in a high-visibility area with stunning gold and creamy white branding and gorgeous signage. Asmaa continued to channel her creativity by strategically marketing her finest, hand-designed and sewn creations through models, photoshoots and her own fashion events set against a backdrop of prominent estates.

For her bridal shower, she opted for a stunning in-house line – a beaded corset with feathers – crafted by the expert dressmaker Portia and Scarlett, one of the boutique brands offered by Dollz.

As the Founder and CEO of Ethos Design Collective, I attended the 2022 Boston Design Edge show, to meet the owners and Presidents of some of the finest, trade-only, furniture on the market. I was lucky to meet both the owners, Art and Susan Barber, as well as President, Dan Minor, that day. Myself and Ethos Designer Member, Jennifer Collins of Inviting Interior Style, were immediately embraced and welcomed into their space, regaled with wonderful stories and genuine hospitality,
