This month's designers both create red carpet-worthy style for their A-list clientele. West Coaster Campbell McAuley is stylist to many of Hollywood's hottest names, including Katherine Heigl, Kate Winslet and Salma Hayek. Owner and Creative Director of New York City's OC61, Louise O'Connor has created show-stopping looks for her celebrity-client roster since the salon opened in 2005. So inspiring is her work that top design houses, including Versace, Gucci, Nanette Lepore and Oscar de la Renta, call on her to infuse verve into their runway productions as well.
