Spotting New Fashion Trends at Milan Fashion Week Previews, Ed Blum of Makeovers Salon + Spa

Calls it 'The Melting Pot of Fashion'

You know that fashion A-lister Ed Blum, co-owner with wife Norah Blum of the internationally-acclaimed, award-winning Makeovers Salon + Spa in Easton, Mass. (USA), would be at the center of activity during the prestigious Milan Fashion Week. Blum, with 38 years of fashion industry experience, is attending as many of this week’s 40 preview shows as humanly possible, working on models, meeting trendsetters, taking notes on what’s hot in fashion, makeup, hair style – to bring back to Makeovers Salon.

On Wednesday (9/23), fresh off the plane from a whirlwind fashion tour of Istanbul, Blum reported from Milan’s Via Monte Napoleone upscale shopping district, “Milan is a melting pot of fashion. Streets are abuzz for those who made the lists. People flew in from around the world to meet here as though some holy moment in fashion was about to be born. The world’s leading designers transform elegant and influential palaces into stages to show off their creations. All the ‘in-the- know’ crowd gathered as fashion royalty held private showings in their galleries. Limousines and the finest French champagnes flooded the avenues as designers showed their finest collections.” Blum is working with L’Oreal Professional world-famous stylist Laurent Decreton. “I owe them a debt of gratitude,” Blum said.

Blum counts among his clients such well-known faces as Kristian Alfonso of ‘Days of Our Lives’ fame and TV Judge Maria Lopez. He was part of L’Oreal’s team for the Gwen Stefani L.A.M.B. Show in New York. The innovative master stylist in color and styling has worked with Vidal Sassoon, Jean Louis David, and Jacques Dessange. He has also worked with fashion designers like Donna Karan and was a featured artist at New York’s Fashion Week. Makeovers Salon & Spa (http://makeoverssalon.com/) was the set for the Disney pilot, ‘Postcards from Heaven’ with medium Maureen Hancock, and casting calls with ‘The Rock.’
