Style

Let's celebrate and delve into the captivating world of style. Style transcends the clothes we wear or the accessories we choose; it embodies every aspect of our lives. From the way we decorate our homes to the music we enjoy, from the books we cherish to the way we engage in conversations, style permeates every facet of our existence. It is the thread that weaves the rich tapestry of our lives.

Style is profoundly personal. It evolves as we embrace our quirks, passions, and desires. It is a form of self-expression that reveals who we are, how we perceive the world, and what we value. In this way, style becomes a powerful medium for connection, allowing us to find common ground with those who share our aesthetic sensibilities.

As individuals, we have the freedom to adopt established styles, blend them, or carve out entirely new paths, becoming trendsetters ourselves. We hope this issue inspires you to forge new paths or revisit familiar ones. There is so much in our city to uplift your spirits, boost your productivity, and ignite your creativity.

What we've discovered is that the best style is an authentic expression of who you truly are. And that’s something no one else can replicate.

Here’s to being uniquely you! GORDON AND KELLEY, PUBLISHERS

PHOTOS CELEBRATING LIVES, MILESTONES, LOVE, HONESTY, STYLE

Empowering Portraits’

Professionals Honor Individuality, Relationships, Freedom

Photography sessions that wholeheartedly celebrate authenticity, strength, wisdom and beauty enable people to unapologetically reflect into a photo-based mirror image without wincing or feeling self-conscious. Those magical kinds of sessions are exactly the genuine, easy-going type in which a St. Louis photography couple specializes through their Empowering Portraits business.

Danijela and Yagil Kadera love taking "real" photos of individuals, couples and women 40-plus years young. But they also relish capturing unique bonds and unconditional love shared between pets and their peeps.

"We specialize in simplistic, artistic portraits all about empowering women to embrace self-love and their beauty. We also enjoy and photograph all pets, all breeds, all sizes," explains Danijela.

Yagil says their portrait experiences are all about clients. "From understanding your unique portrait needs to planning and styling, sessions result in powerful moments and portraits to love and cherish beyond a lifetime."

Overall, this dynamic duo categorizes their client photo sessions as personal branding, enchanting portraits, women empowerment, sophisticated boudoir, generational legacies and love sessions for couples.

Creating captivating moments is what separates cute snapshots from timeless portraits, reminds Dani. "A professional portrait photographer captures your life with a touch of artistry. Your life and your story is unique and deserves to be cherished, with each picture speaking a thousand words. Many people think they aren't photogenic, but they actually are," she says.

Their services include a wardrobe fitting prior to the photo session, then hair and makeup assistance, along with refreshments and a session music playlist based on each client's preferences.

"We laugh, chat, dance, play dress up, share and sometimes cry our way through sessions. Everyone has such fun, and gains so much confidence, they can't believe they just completed photos," affirms Dani.

Through various levels of images, she says their goal is to capture the "casual, powerful, glamorous and sensual" versions of clients. "Oftentimes, women discover they love a version of themselves that they used to be, not who they are presently. We bring out the worthiness of who they've become, plus their accumulated inner and outer beauty, and we're proud of the self-love we can help revive."

This year, Dani says they've been expanding the personal branding and couples sessions. "It's wonderful to see couples finally be present in the moment with each other."

On to 40 Over 40: This project is one for which Dani is particularly proud. In 2022, she made it a mission to photograph 40 women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond, via a transformational and empowering experience focused on celebration and self-love. And she did. The images were captured in an inspiring presentation that emphasized body positivity and embraced the concepts of aging. She received so many more requests, she completed another round of women's portraits during spring 2023. She says the 2024 project also is complete, and she's already planning the round for 2025.

In fact, an exhibition and celebration party regarding the 2024 40 Over 40 participants will be held Sept. 27 at 6 p.m. at The Schlafly Tap Room – Club Room. For event details, email info@empoweringportraits.com.

"For 40 Over 40 sessions, women let go of selfdoubts and reasons why they didn't see themselves as worthy and beautiful. I relate to all this, being over 40 myself. However, women of all ages, and all wonderful shapes and sizes, are uniquely beautiful and deserve to be acknowledged, seen and celebrated. That's a part of my job I absolutely love," proclaims Dani.

MOTHER MODEL MANAGEMENT OWNERS FOCUS ON SCOUTING, LOVING, TEACHING, SUCCESS

ARTICLE BY JULIE BROWN PATTON PHOTOGRAPHY BY MOTHER MODEL MANAGEMENT

Seventy-plus models walking the world's top runways in New York, London, Milan and Paris were managed by Mary Clarke, co-owner of St. Louis-based Mother Model Management with her husband, Jeff.

"We represent a roster of many more successful models working globally for clients and magazines," adds Mary, pointing

“We represent a roster of many more successful models working globally for clients and magazines.”

to supermodels Karlie Kloss and Grace Hartzel, as well as actor Ashton Kutcher, as proof of talent they scout.

She says her business began as a hobby in Iowa. "I produced small fashion shows at my hometown mall and needed models to be in them. I've always loved working with girls in their teens and early 20s."

The Clarkes' 30-year history in the modeling and fashion business embodies being an

integral part of transformations in the lives of models. Mary says they embrace the process of developing young people's images, mindsets, confidence and skillsets by nurturing, guiding and supporting every chapter, from discovery through career elevation. "It takes different things in different seasons, and no one journey is the same," she adds.

Mary states they delight in being with models during all the resulting milestones.

"We stay connected with the agencies who represent our models worldwide," explains Mary. "We have models in our incubator, based on age. As our models mature, we begin planning travel around their schedules. We submit strong digitals and walking video. We make certain our submissions are presented when each model is ready physically and emotionally."

Mary says anyone interested in pursuing potential modeling endeavors with Mother can submit images and information via their website. "We look at every submission, so that's a great way for us to be introduced to you. We also hold regularly scheduled open calls and post those announcements on our social media," she confirms.

For those who catch Mary and Jeff's attention, Mary says they respond within one week if they're interested in receiving more pictures or meeting in-person.

St. Louis regional business leaders also are interested in hearing insight and lessons learned from Jeff and Mary, as they are scheduled panelists at the INTERSECTION Conference to be held Sept. 13 at the .Zack, 3224 Locust St.

Two upcoming events to be hosted by Mother include 'Seek Find You Women's Event' on Sept. 21 and 'Tribute Fashion Fest' on Nov. 22-23.

ST. LOUIS CAR MUSEUM

A Fascinating Look Inside Life-Long Premier, Classic Car Collector Joe Scott Jr.’s ‘Fun House’

ARTICLE BY ROBIN SEATON JEFFERSON

Look to the right when entering the St. Louis Car Museum. The very first thing to see draws visitors into Joe Scott Jr.’s fascinating world of preserving the past. It’s a 1986 Ferrari Testarossa Junior ½ scale Go-Kart by Prestige. The tag says: “For privileged children only licensed motorized replica authorized

“I like old things, always have,” Joe Scott Jr. says.

“There’s history behind each item and preservation is important.”

by the Ferrari Motor Corporation.” Likely one of the most expensive toys ever sold, the fully-operational 2-speed “toy,” complete with a CD player, was priced at more than $50,000 at FAO Schwarz and Neiman Marcus stories in the mid-1980s.

And that’s not even Joe’s favorite. Among his massive collection of premier classic and collector cars, vintage signage, rare pedal cars, apparatuses and memorabilia sits a 2005 red Ford GT with white stripes. “Ford only made this specific body style for two years,” Joe says. “They are the most unique and original-looking supercars of our day. After so many years of collecting, I am less attached to items. So, I would sell the GT to the right collector, but not for a long time.”

Since 1994, the St. Louis Car Museum, which Joe calls his “fun house," has been one of the most incredible collections of rare and sought-after machines offering a variety of services that cater to all things motor-related.

The Midwest showroom is on the destination list of some of the most savvy collectors and car enthusiasts, including among others an international tour company that actually flies New Zealanders, Kiwi’s on Route 66 Car Club, into Los Angeles, rents 50 Mustangs and escorts them across the entire 6,000 miles of Route 66 stopping specifically in St. Louis to tour Joe’s collection.

It’s a place where one could find and purchase a dream classic car, or store one already owned.

It’s a place to spend an afternoon with one foot back in time, drinking the beauty of some of the finest motor vehicles ever produced. That’s exactly what Joe had in mind when he purchased what was once the largest bowling alley in St. Louis, the old Bowla-Rama Lanes, a St. Louis building at 1575 Woodson Road 30 years ago this year.

The five-acre, 85,000-square-foot building was perfect for a showroom and shop, being the only building that was massive enough yet devoid of pillars throughout, allowing the vehicles to be moved around inside. He kept the original flooring and put a “Route 66” banner over the place where the pins used to fall.

“I like old things, always have,” Joe says. “There’s history behind each item and preservation is important. That’s where the museum comes in. It’s a great spot for people to enjoy the old times.”

And it has everything from a 2024 cyber truck to a 1919 Cole, a 2024 Porsche 911 to a 1964 Porsche 911, a 1999 Duesenberg II Model SJ likely worth $350,000 to the “toy” Ferrari that today could bring in upward of $300,000. There’s even an 1860s Wells Fargo Concord Stagecoach with all original leather and interiors.

Up for sale are muscle cars, such as the 2024 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet, the 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Roadster and the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe. Then there are the exotic and luxury cars, such as the 1948 Cadillac Series 61 Club Coupe, the 1967 Porsche 911 Coupe, the 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, the 1974 Jaguar XKE Series III Roadster and the 1949 Bentley Mark VI Shooting Brake.

Three mechanics, two detailers and an upholsterer work in the 25,000-square-foot shop, perfecting every piece that comes into the museum.

Joe says it’s difficult to recall just when he became enamored with collecting. His father was an avid enthusiast as well. He recalls that he was 11 or 12 years old when he “was gifted a broken-down MG 1100” from his grandmother. “She was previously married to a master mechanic who got me into the restoration of older cars and taught me the importance of preservation,” he adds.

There are stories behind every instance of preservation. Joe recently purchased Nicolas Cage’s 1997 Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster. “This ride was delivered brand new to Nic in Beverly Hills that year with a bright yellow finish,” Joe says. “Oddly enough, it was delivered to the St. Louis Car Museum needing some work, but our guys took care of everything. And now I think I’ll keep the Diablo in our collection until the right buyer comes along. That purchase certainly adds some pizazz to our story I think.”

The Art Doll

SHERELLE SPEED SHARES HER SOUL, UNVEILING

SURREALISM THROUGH SELF-TAUGHT MASTERY

Sherelle Speed, known as The Art Doll, has transcended personal challenges to create a vivid artistic universe that captivates through its surrealism and distinctive faceless portraits. Inspired by dreams and the essence of everyday life, her journey from rediscovering a childhood passion to becoming a celebrated self-taught artist showcases resilience and creativity. With a signature style featuring skeleton flower backgrounds and a deliberate absence of facial features, Sherelle's work invites viewers to project themselves into her art.

WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOUR TALENT?

"I realized I loved art when I was around 10. I used to always draw and paint little ceramic figurines my mom would buy me. It wasn’t until I was 25 years old that I rediscovered my passion and started drawing again."

WHAT INSPIRED YOU?

"My inspiration comes from my dreams, sometimes while I’m asleep or at random moments. It also comes from the female form and everyday life."

HOW CAN YOUR ART BE VIEWED AND PURCHASED?

"My tattoo shop, 'The House Of Art Doll,' at 6277 Delmar Loop houses a lot of my work. You can see some of my murals at places like Chillax, The Selfie Room STL, STL Happy Hour Bar & Grill, and The Hive Cafe."

WHAT INSPIRED THE NAME ART DOLL?

"It was inspired by my great grandmother, who we called Momma Doll. As a child, I had an obsession with Barbie dolls and collected many of them. One day, as an adult, a former coworker told me I reminded him of a Barbie doll with my small physique, dolllike features and how I dress."

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE PIECE?

“Yes, my favorite piece is called "Let Them Eat Cake," located at The Selfie Room. It’s large and detailed, inspired by the Renaissance era. I impressed myself with that piece.”

“MY HAPPY PLACE”

MARKETPLACE AT THE ABBEY BOUTIQUE CELEBRATES 10TH ANNIVERSARY

Marketplace at The Abbey is custom furniture. It’s casual design. It’s considered beautiful finds.

Laura Wilson is celebrating the 10th anniversary of her fine furniture and lifestyle boutique in Manchester at 14334 Manchester Road. She says it’s become one of the best places in St. Louis for beautiful, unique items for homes.

The Abbey is known for home décor and custom furniture made in the United States. But it’s also popular for its baby, garden and charcuterie sections, lamps, accessories and artwork that all blend elegance with functionality. The shop offers the grandest in home furnishings, accents, florals and housewares, alongside realistic pieces that each tell a story, Laura says.

“The Abbey is a truly unique shopping experience. It’s a place you can come in and just wander. People who come in say, ‘This is my happy place.’ They just get lost,” Laura says. “They come in for a lamp and think, ‘Oh, I forgot. I need a baby gift.’ They leave with things they didn’t know they were looking for.”

From a candle that burns well, to a blanket that has a nice weight to it, everything is unique at The Abbey. “We don’t have a lot of anything. That’s why we call them beautiful, unique finds,” Laura says. “From our family to yours, we put lots of love and careful attention in selecting each and every item we sell.”

The Abbey specializes in hostess gifts. “They are a huge part of what we do,” Laura says. “You might pair a charcuterie board with a beautiful spreader and a jam we might sell.”

Christmastime is a favorite of Laura’s and a wonderful time at The Abbey. So much so, she starts decorating in mid-October. With a life-size reindeer singing Michael Bublé songs and

a

dozen Christmas trees situated perfectly about the store, Laura says The Abbey is particularly “magical and special at Christmastime. It’s almost like a little FAO Schwarz, where you can escape the hustle and bustle and just get lost in the beauty and creativity.”

Shoppers can come in with a photo of a place or item in their home they want to improve or redo, and Laura or one of her associates will suggest décor to complement or completely remake the space. The Abbey also offers design services where an associate can go to a customer’s home to see their spaces up-close and personal. Laura also offers Christmas decorating with her clients' own decorations or new ones purchased from the store. Bridal and baby registrations are also available.

“Home is truly a special place. It's where life happens and where your family's story is written,” Laura says. “At The Abbey, we can help people turn their house into a home with custom furnishings and beautiful finds."

Marketplace At The Abbey also offers CR Laine Custom Furniture, thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted. “Handmade in the United States, this completely customizable furniture is created by the hands and hearts of North Carolina's finest artisans with unmatched style, comfort and color,” Laura says.

Laura invites her customers to “be inspired and explore the craftsmanship” of CR Laine Custom Furniture, whose motto is “made for generations by generations,” where style means relaxed, refined, classic and comfortable, and where colors are deeply personal and endlessly inspiring.

Founded in 1958 by Clarence Roseman, CR Laine has always been family owned and operated. For more than 60 years, the CR Laine family has thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted everything they build, making customized, bench-crafted upholstery in their hometown of Hickory, NC. The company delivers classic style with a modern perspective to The Abbey.

According to CR Laine’s website, while the company utilizes new processes and equipment, they've held true to time-tested premium construction features, such as eight-way, hand-tied springs.

The company says color is the primary method of self-expression in a person’s home. So, they curate an eclectic yet cohesive collection of textiles from artisans around the world. Their hands-on approach gives their products unmatched style, comfort, and color.

The company is also committed to preserving the resources of the world for future generations. They say it is “their goal to minimize the environmental impacts of our company through the continual improvement of waste reduction and use of sustainable practices.”

“We're proud to offer the highest quality, most unique furniture and home décor in the Saint Louis area,” Laura says. “From our family to yours, we put lots of love and careful attention in selecting each and every item we sell. We hope you enjoy our shop as much as we enjoy bringing it to you.”
