Meredith Kaulfers on Style and Support, from Cannes to the Emmys
STYLED FOR ‘MARTY, LIFE IS SHORT’ PREMIERE & EMMY’S / CANNES PREMIERE OF ‘AVEDON’
TWO VERY DIFFERENT PREMIERES, AND AN AWARDS MOMENT.
A BUSY TRAVEL SCHEDULE, AND A WARDROBE THAT STILL FELT LIKE HER.
MEREDITH KAULFERS, EVP OF IMAGINE DOCUMENTARIES, SHARES WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO WORK TOGETHER THROUGH THOSE PUBLIC MOMENTS, FROM THE FIRST CONVERSATION TO THE FINISHING DETAILS.
HER WORDS BELOW REFLECT OUR JOURNEY TO STYLE EACH LOOK:
“FOR DOCUMENTARY FOLKS, THE VARIETY OF OUTFITS NEEDED FOR DIFFERENT EVENTS CAN BE OVERWHELMING. IN THE PAST, I WOULD PROCRASTINATE BECAUSE I DIDN’T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT AND THEN AT THE LAST MINUTE ORDER 16 DIFFERENT DRESSES FROM ALL CORNERS OF THE INTERNET PRAYING SOMETHING WOULD WORK AND FIT THE VIBE OF THE EVENT. NOT A GREAT SYSTEM.
WHEN I HAD 2 VASTLY DIFFERENT PREMIERES IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IN THE MIDST OF TRAVEL FOR OTHER PROJECTS I KNEW THAT MY NORMAL PLAN WOULD NOT WORK. I HAD HEARD ABOUT RACHEL FROM 2 TRUSTED COLLEAGUES SO I REACHED OUT AND SHE WAS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED. I WAS HESITANT BECAUSE I’M PICKY AND DIDN’T WANT ANYTHING TO LOOK OVERLY STYLED. BUT, RACHEL WAS SO PATIENT AND REALLY LISTENED TO ME AND SHE DELIVERED EVERYTHING I COULD HAVE WANTED AND MORE. SHE REALLY TOOK THE TIME TO GET TO KNOW ME AND MY STYLE & I FELT SO SUPPORTED THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. SHE TAILORS (PUN INTENDED!) HER PROCESS TO FIT THE NEEDS OF YOU AND YOUR EVENT.
IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO TELL A HAIR AND MAKEUP ARTIST, DON’T WORRY: SHE WILL GIVE YOU A LOOK BOOK TO SHARE WITH THEM. NO DETAIL WAS OVERLOOKED. AND I SHOULD ALSO SAY - SHE IS SO KIND, THOUGHTFUL AND FUN!
IF EVENTS STRESS YOU OUT, SHE IS YOUR GIRL. EVEN IF EVENTS DON’T STRESS YOU OUT, I COULD NOT RECOMMEND RACHEL MORE HIGHLY. SO, IF YOU’RE ON THE FENCE ABOUT NEEDING THIS, TAKE THIS AS A SIGN TO JUMP OVER THAT FENCE AND TRUST RACHEL AND HER PROCESS!”

FOR THE MARTY, LIFE IS SHORT PREMIERE, PEARL DROP EARRINGS BY LILIANA RIVERA BROUGHT LIGHT AND MOVEMENT TO MEREDITH’S VINTAGE DIOR TUXEDO BLAZER AND SOLINI TROUSERS. ALONGSIDE A 1940S MOTHER-OF-PEARL BROOCH, THEY GAVE THE TAILORING A SOFTER COUNTERPOINT. SMALL DETAILS, BUT SO MUCH OF THE CHARACTER OF THE LOOK LIVED THERE.
