Ronda Dean, of Pine Island, tries on shoes during a spring fashion event at Janet Marie Studios in south Fort Myers. The boutique announced that its hosting a fashion makeover contest.
Customers are getting hip for spring with the help of south Fort Myers business owners Judy Starnes and Chris Lewis.
The pair recently held an event at Starnes' Janet Marie Studios in south Fort Myers to discuss the latest in spring fashion trends for 2008.
"We realize that the total look is extremely important because if your clothes are new but your haircut is outdated ... it doesn't work," Starnes said.
That's why Lewis, the co-owner of Vincent Salon & Spa in south Fort Myers, taught local women that big hair is making a comeback.
"Hair is a woman's best accessory and the trends are showing that it's time to put down the hot irons and get out your curling irons again," said Chris Lewis, who spoke about his observations during a recent runway show in New York. "Big hair is what's going on for a fresh new look now."
Starnes paired up with Lewis after seeing a few fashion magazines and realizing that the hair and outfit have to work together.
That prompted them to organize the event in south Fort Myers to inform their customers.
"Bold prints, wide singe belts and patent leather are in," said Starnes who laid out a few outfits at the event to show women what paired best at her south Fort Myers boutique. "The hair has to match and that's why its changing to match with colors."
To further ensure that local women get the most from their wardrobe and hair, Starnes will host an event in which Lewis will transform her hairdo and pair an outfit with each hairstyle.
"We think Judy has great ideas and we came to hear about the hair so we can keep current," said Sally Springer of Fort Myers Beach, who brought her friend Donna Severance with her to the boutique.
"I can't believe what they said about hair. But I have to admit that I never put my electric rollers away ..." said Springer, who's known Starnes for four months.
Starnes and Lewis also announced during the event that they are hosting a Fashion Makeover Contest in which two lucky winners will get a full makeup, hair and clothing makeover worth $7,000.
The deadline is May 30 and winners will be announced July 1.
"The right color, cut and style can completely transform a woman and not only make her look great, but feel great too," Lewis said.
