MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL… SHE WORE STOKALSKA AFTER ALL…
Posted by EricDamanStyle in #FASHIONFIRSTS, ASK ERIC!, Don't Apologize—Accessorize!, THE CARRIE DIARIES on April 5, 2013
DON’T APOLOGIZE! ACCESSORIZE!
The night I hosted Fashion’s Night Out with Vera Wang in her NYC Soho boutique I had the pleasure of meeting jewelry designer Magdalena Stokalska. Vera and I each invited a handful of our respective Twitter followers, and Magda was among those on my list, chosen to join in the festivities on that nights special occasion. One thing led to another and we received sample pieces from Magda’s jewelry collection. Goes to show you, if you’re open to new possibilities, expanding your horizons, and you’re prepared… you can go just about anywhere you want to go.
If you like these pieces, you can see more at stokalska.com and get them online!
Watch Carrie get ready for the school dance in The Carrie Diaries “Caught” and “The Long Winding Road not taken” on the CW’s website.
XOXOE!

MY POINT OF VIEW ON 80s FASHION TRENDS!
Posted by EricDamanStyle in ASK ERIC!, ERIC DAMAN, Eric Daman Style, THE CARRIE DIARIES on April 3, 2013
True fashionistas will see how the vision of The Carrie Diaries 80s fashion is deeply embedded in the cultural fabric of the 80s. To prepare my team for what was coming, I created this series to describe what I felt would be the most important aspects of 80’s fashion to include in The Carrie Diaries. Most people watching The Carrie Diaries were born in the 90s. And I think most people in the cast were born in the 90s too for that matter! So, I made sure to use a combination of modern and vintage images and fashions, and keep a high-low mix of street wear, runway, couture, and mass market. I focused on the trends I could see being viable options and sustainable over the duration of hopefully many continuous seasons.
There were so many fashion inspirations in the 80s. Some of them were geographic, some of them were cultural, some retro, some neo. It was a fabulous kaleidoscopic influx of global proportions in a way that had never happened before.
XOXOE!

CONTEMPORARY LABELS WITH SIGNATURE VINTAGE ACCENTS
So far I’m best known for my work outfitting the Upper East Siders on Gossip Girl, and now of course, I’ve risen to the challenge of outfitting a young Carrie Bradshaw in the new CW series The Carrie Diaries. This isn’t my first encounter with the character of Carrie — I worked with Patricia Field on several seasons of the original Sex and the City! Popsugar invited me to visit their NYC studio to chat about what you can expect on The Carrie Diaries, including a mix of contemporary labels with vintage and some of Carrie’s trademark personalized accessories.
XOXOE!

Posted by EricDamanStyle in ERIC DAMAN, THE CARRIE DIARIES on March 8, 2013
I was fortunate enough to invite The Coveteur’s creative team to the set of The Carrie Diaries to capture the show’s wardrobe and see the inspiration behind Carrie’s (and the rest of the girls’) on-screen looks. To up the ante, I brought along a few wardrobe must-haves from my own closet at home for an up-close and personal tour of what’s going on behind the scenes of The Carrie Diaries, and to show you what’s waiting in the wings for me when I get dressed and ready to make it work!

Posted by EricDamanStyle in ANNASOPHIA ROBB, ASK ERIC!, THE CARRIE DIARIES on March 7, 2013
Many have said the clothes were a fifth character on “Sex and the City.” The same holds true for “Gossip Girl” and “The Carrie Diaires.” And when iDesignTimes talked to Eric Daman this week we found out that fifth character is developed just as methodically as any script. But instead of words there are sequins, sparkle and lots of prints.

Carrie’s Chakra Meditation: Balancing Fame & Fashion & The High School Dance
Posted by EricDamanStyle in ANNASOPHIA ROBB, ASK ERIC!, ERIC DAMAN, Eric Daman Style, THE CARRIE DIARIES on March 6, 2013
A STAR IS BORN
Look at the incredible detail built into this ballet dress by Georges Chakra! The decollete is sheer nude encrusted with green crystals and rhinestones! And it frames her Alex Woo “C” necklace amazingly. Carrie Bradshaw enjoys her first 15 minutes of fame in Interview Magazine, seeing her hand painted Mark Cross bag; it’s her first feature in Interview, her favorite magazine of all time. The jade earrings are also a jaw dropper, with their crystal teardrops dangling in the center!
Watch Carrie and her friends dance the night away in The Carrie Diaries “Caught” episode on The CW.
XOXOE!

CAUGHT: CAUSIN’ A COMMOTION
While Carrie and the Kydd kid pretended not to be staring at each other, looking through the eyes of love, from across the gym, Maggie (Katie Findlay @katedangerfield) was a dancing queen in her own private ice castle in her iridescent sheer blue sequined sleeveless ice skater dress from Asos. I put a mini purple crinoline by Legs Avenue for extra flair! The belt is a TopShop iridescent seafoam cracked pattern (think thin ice!) The earrings are a dangling clear lucite hoop with gold dusting. Her silver glitter kitten heels with center silver bow are by Nina. #PRIVATEDANCER!

“I totally fell in love with the velvet and pearl,” Daman told InStyle.com. “They’re so ‘80s aspirational.”
