Advice from a Professional
Design Specialist from Anamosa Shares Tips
March 15, 2000 The Grammys are a long way from Herculaneum, Mo., but this small town, 25 miles south of the Arch, is where Andrea Politte got her start. Politte, 36, is the master design specialist who for the second year in a row helped stars look their best at the Grammy Awards. Now living in Anamosa, she says her brush with stardom is due to faith, passion and a lot of hard work.Joe Walsh, 36
The onetime resident of hang-loose Hawaii wishes the sleeves of the cotton shirt ($42) were longer and the flares on the corduroy pants ($49.50) narrower. "They're a little flamboyant," says Walsh. "I wore bell-bottoms back in the '70s, but if I wore them now it would look like I had an identity problem."People Magazine - Best, Worst (and least) Dressed

Jackie Watkins, 37
While Watkins doesn't like the way the knit pants ($21.99) flare below the knee, she is impressed that the "turtleneck [$24.99] fits close but not too tight" and that the acrylic-cotton fabric seems durable. "I stretched the sweater to put it on, and it stretched right back into shape!"
Tony Lewis, 30
Not only do the basil-colored shirt ($39.50) and tie ($38) constitute "a real power outfit," says Lewis, it saves energy. "I have a problem matching my shirt and tie, and this look is a no-brainer," he says, adding, "I think this is great — and that's my final answer."
Joel Lozano, 32
"At first I thought, 'These feel kind of stiff,' " says Lozano of the heavy-duty denim vest ($88) and pants with padded knees ($68). "But they feel durable, like they'd be good in the snow. Once you broke them in they'd be perfect." With the proper shoe, that is. "The pants are kind of bell-bottomed, so you need to wear big boots with a heel," the 6'1" Lozano warns. "I tried them on with loafers and I looked like Gumby."
