If you are anything like us, then you look forward to award season like it is the next string of holidays. While we don't actually get a day off work, we do enjoy celebrating the big award shows with a drink and maybe a viewing party. We were blown away by the beautiful heartfelt speeches, a little in shock over a few tasteless jokes, pulled for the underdogs, and cheered on for the win of Boyhood. We love films, (probably has something to do with the fact that it is a moving picture) and consequently, we love actors - and we especially love what they wear! Who doesn't dream of Italian silk and being draped in millions of dollars of jewels. Now apparently they have to give all that back, but a girl can dream, right! Here are a few who made our Best Dressed List. Who was on yours?

Ellen Hunter, designer and creator of Ellen Hunter NYC, specializes in unique one-of-a-kind hair accessories. Reminiscent of ancient Greece, the flexible wreathes, combs, and headbands have become celebrity and fashionista favorites across the globe. Beyoncé, Carrie Underwood, Nicole Richie, and Nicky Hilton have all been spotted featuring pieces from the collection. Several of our brides here at Arden Photography have displayed the designs as they walked down the aisle.

Ellen Hunter got her start close to our home here, at the University of Alabama where she studied apparel design. She began creating the pieces in her dorm room for friends and family. Upon graduating, Ellen moved to Manhattan to work in the fashion and wedding industry at Nicole Miller. “While I loved what I was doing there, I still felt the need to create,” comments Hunter. She struck out on her own, and Ellen Hunter NYC was born.

Her company has since expanded, and will be offering new products in 2015 featuring jewelry, beaded sashes, and belts. Ellen’s passion of working with clients to create unique and meaningful pieces is on going. She can be spotted at the prestigious retailers where her product is launched in stores like Bergdorf Goodman, Kleinfeld Bridal, and Gus Mayer where we caught up with her to try on the exclusive pieces for ourselves.
