It must be in the genes.
Synthesizing their creative knowledge and artistic abilities, mother-daughter designers, Patricia and Lisa Glotfelter of Phoenix make a unique team of their own with creative fashion line, Style’ Noel.
Inspiration for Style’ Noel originated with the birth of designer, Lisa Glotfelter’s first son, Style’ Noel; “Style’” standing for style, and “Noel” meaning first.
Designer mom, Patricia, finds her inspirational sources within the female role models in her life, including her grandmother, mother and design partner-daughter, Lisa.
The designing duo has experience within the industry to back up their line, too.
Both Patricia and Lisa embody creative energy within their professional interests as fashion designers, and have non-professional interests in beauty, art, reading and, of course, fashion. Their 
previous experience in fashion is made up of a long list of known fashion coordinators of photography, illustrations, artists, videographers, and retail buyers and sellers.
Style’ Noel stands to embrace the female experience, aiming to inspire women to be confidently comfortable within their own skin, and allowing them to feel beautiful inside and out.
“Style’ Noel is currently a female line for junior, misses, and plus size figures,” Patricia said. “Stylish, exotic, loud, sexy, and very fun is only a small portion of describing Style’ Noel garments! A female, feminine feel-good clothing line.”

The Resource for “All Things Fashionable”
“Here comes the bride, all dressed in white,” is a tune every little girl can giddily recite from the first moment she discovers the magic in weddings and marriage. While every little girl grows up envisioning their perfect wedding, every woman knows the real magic is in the perfect wedding dress.
Women today can choose from high-end designers to local bridal boutiques. But here in Phoenix, there’s one line of bridal couture that separates itself from all others, drawing its inspiration from the elements in an English garden.
“The dream of creating a wedding gown that was unique and different,” Sim and Jeanne Hankerson, Designers of SJ Couture, said about what inspired them to create a bridal line.
The line can be described as exquisite, luxurious and whimsical, offering any type of bride, traditional and non-traditional, their dream wedding gown on the special day.
Though SJ Couture is still young to the fashion world, its daring and creative designers know exactly the type of women who are made for SJ Couture.
“An independent, confident woman who embraces her femininity” is the ultimate SJ Couture bride, according to the Hankersons.
While the Hankersons speculate on expanding into fine bridal footwear, they plan on increasing development to a more global scale. Fashion meccas, like New York and Paris, will soon be seeing SJ Couture in their storefronts. For now, though, the excitement of debuting at this year’s Phoenix Fashion Week will prove possibilities of future fashion weeks to come.
You will be able to meet Sim and Jeanne Hankerson and experience their collection on the emerging designer runway during Phoenix Fashion Week, October 7 – 9, 2010.

Stay beautiful, our fashion savvy readers,
Fashion Educators, my name is Brian Hill, Executive Director of Phoenix Fashion Week.
Thanks for making fashion education important to your young fashion students.
This year marks the 6th Annual Phoenix Fashion Week, where our mission is Bridging Designers and Buyers while pushing Arizona fashion forward.
Our 3-day event features 12 complimentary fashion seminars, over 30 designer fashion shows and a shopping marketplace showcasing Holiday 2010 and Spring 2011 collections to a large network of students, retailers, celebrities, fashionistas, and media, primarily from the West Coast.
For the 3rd year, we will open Phoenix Fashion Week by hosting “Fashionably Pink,” a Celebrity charity fashion show, benefiting a great cause…Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Phoenix, at THE BEAUTIFUL W HOTEL. The featured designers will each provide one outfit inspired by the color PINK and will be worn by breast cancer survivors and celebrities. The fashion show will be followed by a silent auction of these PINK runway garmets as donations. Your school will be tied to the great work Susan G. Komen fights for to find a cure. Your attendance helps push Arizona, fashion forward.
To learn how your school can get involved, please contact Director of Education, Liz Riley, at 310.592.9130 or liz@phoenixfashionweek.com
