Holly Dunlap
After interning for Carolyn Roehme at age 17 and ogling the Manohlo Blahniks she received as payment, Holly Dunlap's career was set. She went to the Paris branch of Parsons to study fashion design and landed jobs with Christian Lacroix and Vivienne Westwood, making her easily among the best resumes among the big designers that populate New York's fashion-society complex. But the staple designer wasn't done developing until she moved to Los Angeles to work as a stylist for celebrities and for editorial and commercial photo shoots. One big element left: bright colors. That's where her years at the house clothier of the Palm Beach smart set, Lily Pulitzer, comes in. By the time her first shoe line debuted at Bergdorf's in 2000, Holly had a signature, a following, a tremendous career and fashion and lots and lots of fashionable connections.
