Michael Tintiuc has a look that is not easily forgotten. Between his trademark long, dark brown hair, doe-like eyes and soft, sensuous features, it isn't a surprise that this young man found himself working hard as the male model whose presence would demand worldwide attention on both the catwalk and in print.

One of the reasons why I opened my company was to help other athletes with their fashion needs. I study fashion no matter where I go and I love to watch my teammates and their fashion styles.

It was the '80s, and sure, the decade was a sea of fashion what-were-we-thinking, but despite the sickening wave of pastels and shoulder pads, a woman had a choice of hemlines. From trampy mini to hippie chic, every length was the right length.

Our mantra is: Assess, Edit, Style. These three words are the basis of our concept when walking into everyday closets and making people look and feel their best.

Stacey opens up about what she never wants to see on men, why her husband calls her a diva and her affinity to anything that sparkles.
