Accessories |
It is important to accessorize with care. Try not to
have too many focal points and decide where you want the focal point
to be. Accessories may (A) distract or (B)
emphasize. Understated classical elegant pieces such as
single diamond studs are investments. During
consultations or during fittings at Simon Rademan it will
become evident which accessories would be necessary to enhance your
personal design and style. There is a great chapter on
Accessories in
The Style Bible.

Colour analysis

It is very easy to "make" certain colours suit you. One
only has to change the colour of your hair, or wear contact lenses,
or sunbed. We do believe that this is possible
concerning minor colour changes. Have a look at
The Style Bible for information on "the meaning of colour"

the Oscars. There are seven basic fashion-elements.
Where most people go wrong and fashion disasters are created, is
when too many of these elements are combined in one piece of the
garment. You can immediately stop the confusion of: Why?
What? When? Where?...and all the other "W"s you can find.

Flowers |
Designing for, and styling a bride is heavenly bliss, but a bride
without a bouquet simply looks odd. More than a 100 years ago,
members of a bridal party would walk down the isle with a bunch of
herbs and spices (to keep the evil spirits away)! Today, I am
glad to say, it is with flowers, and flowers have a language of
their own. The Victorians made an art of it…read

Hair
|
It is extremely important to always watch the
condition of one's hair.
Simon Rademan's advice is to try and stick to one's
hairdresser for at least 4-6 sessions, and not to chop and change
after every cut or treatment. For special occasions a
slight or even a dramatic change is strongly suggested, but
insisting on a proof is recommended. It is the ideal
opportunity for one to be advised by specialists in the field.
Simon Rademan only refers the best in the trade, and after
almost three decades in fashion he now has the expertise to advise and
to make a referral.

Little black number |
This may also be called the little red number, ...or the
little white number, ...but it is never as practical as the "little
black number". Black is chic, beautiful, very practical, very
slimming, very affordable, very available and the back-up colour you
should have in your wardrobe. All the information
on how, what and why is available if you look under

Make-up
|
Even if you don't wear any make-up at all, please read the following
statement: It is our experience after more than a decade
in the feminine world of beauty that some form of make-up is often
necessary. If a photo is taken, it becomes a memory...
but most of all it becomes evidence of a more beautiful, younger
you! To experiment with the magic of illusion is to
strive for perfection... and perfection is bliss. But be
careful! Consult with the many specialists at
chain-stores about the products that they sell. Use as
much of their free advice as possible and listen to as many
different opinions that your time allows, OR: employ the
services of a professional make-up artist for any of your special
events like matric farewell or when you are getting married! ...or
keep watching the "Free
article"-page for free information.

competition:
- - Find the real (a sincere and good) reason
why you want to be a title holder,

- - give it a 100%,
- - and remember: "We all have to respect and
nurture our bodies AND souls!"

Modelling |
Individuals do modelling for two main reasons:
to gain self confidence and
possible stardom! If you are serious about your
future as a supermodel, doing only the basic courses at a modelling
agency will not be sufficient. Simon Rademan works
closely with most of South Africa's top modelling agencies.
If you dream of reaching stardom like our own Charlize Theron, the
best would be to start as young as possible, to believe in your own
abilities, and to contact a professional Modelling Agency.
Look around in local magazines, look for names that are well known
and that have enough references, and that are well connected.
Start with the best! There are many fly-by-night
agencies that will use your money to further their own careers.
So, be very careful!

Mother of the bride |
Setting the standard for your daughter's
wedding day should not be neglected. It is true that
guests often have things to say about what goes wrong at a wedding
... and what the hostess was wearing. Simon Rademan
has been in the industry for almost three decades, and has learned
that perfect design for the Mother of The Bride is in the cut and in
simple, understated elegance. If you are the mother of
the bridegroom, you need not feel left out. Your image
is our concern! Go to
The Style Bible

Photography
and videography |
Only the best photographers should be involved in
preserving memories of your special event. When deciding
on a photographer, his personal style in photography should impress
you most of all. (i.e. what the photo looks like regarding light,
style, individuality and NOT what is IN the photo). Remember that
you are the client and that his product often is the only memory
that is left for you to treasure after 10 or 20 years. A
good photographer can make a cat look like a dog...! We
have been bitten in the past, and now refer only the best in the
business!

Shoes |
"I don't know who
invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot." - Marilyn
Monroe (born Norma Jeane
Mortenson)
Basic necessities need not be
boring. Simon Rademan does not stock shoes, but plan
to do so in the near future. In the meantime there are
an incredible variety of fashion styles to choose from and the
studio makes referrals.
We do however advise on shape and style and colour...

Style & Etiquette |
"Wear this OR that ---
not this And that" - Simon Rademan
Our clients are advised not to dance on tables, reach
for the salt, or bend down to pick up anything!
"What to wear, how to wear, when to wear" is
often one of the most difficult questions to find an answer for.
The answer means nothing if one does not know "what to do,
how to do, when to
do". During the design, making, and the fitting
of your dream-garment, the know-how becomes second nature ...
because we are masters on etiquette and styling. Refer
to The Style Bible.

Wardrobe-planning |
Clothes are expensive and good clothes are even more
expensive. WRONG! If you plan your wardrobe
and know what to look for, you save money every day of your life,
and dressing well becomes an investment in the future.
Start saving money immediately by looking under
Ordering information.

anymore. Simon Rademan lost 35kg and had the
country talking! He picked up weight
again :-(
and is losing it again
:-)
If his personal story can help
you decide on how... and why... and if..., look under
Ordering information

effort-free it could be for you! NOW!
