Mainstream Boutique’s Styling Event Hollywood Comes to Morgan Hill H ollywood’s stylist for the stars, George Brescia, made a special appearance in Morgan Hill last October when he visited Mainstream Boutique and offered local shoppers personal styling sessions. The event was a big hit! According to Mainstream Boutique owner Karen Sackel France, “The first day he remerchandised the store, he took down all the clothes and reset them. He kind of flipped the store; it was great, just having another fresh eye. I learned a lot.” The following day, Brescia devoted his time solely to France’s customers. “They were so excited, they loved it, they loved him,” France said. “It was a huge success. It was a great experience.” Nancy Miller, who recently achieved a substantial weight loss, enjoyed her time with the Hollywood stylist, who helped her create a new look. “He worked really hard that day and he spent at least forty-five minutes with everybody,” Miller said, adding that her biggest take away was, “love yourself, love your clothes, and have fun with it.” Lynne Altmaier connected with Brescia right from the start. “He’s a great guy, very personable, not imposing. He’s got a great eye, he just makes it happen,” Altmaier said. “He’s just fun to be with.” Luci North was so inspired by her session she reorganized her closet, color coordinating all her clothes. “I did that with all my new clothes and I did a nice purge and what I found was getting ready in the morning has become really easy because I have these wonderful out- fits and they coordinate with a few other pieces I already had from the boutique,” North said, adding, “It was pretty life changing.” For 12-year-old Charlotte Schofield, Charlie, the styling session was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. “When I was styled by George, I felt as if I was back- stage waiting for the runway,” she said. “I had an incredible experience that I will value forever. All in all the experience was incredible and I’m excited to continue my experiences at Mainstream.” GILROY • MORGAN HILL • SAN MARTIN WINTER 2020 gmhtoday.com 47
