Apothia Fragrance at F.A.N Philadelphia

                  Apothia Fragrance 

We've searched long and far for the fragrance that would fit our new Philadelphia shop.  There are so many lovely scents from independent perfumers to mainstream. We have lots of crushes but made a commitment to our long time love of Apothia.  Their key scent Velvet Rope has been my favorite ever since I moved to New York many years ago.  It was just obscure enough while being yummy and inviting to boot.  I was only able to find it at a select retailer in NYC.  You can now find Apothia at our F.A.N Shop in Philly. It's a fave with our stylists and has arrived with its classic mate the IF scent and new Pearl scent.  This brand is unisex and luxe displayed on our seasoned butcher block.  It's a unique and exclusive fragrance for our clients and may be a new gift for your lucky someone special.  It's almost Valentines and always someone's birthday, hint hint.

We will be featuring someone from the F.A.N team throughout the next few weeks as an intro to the new year, our new shop and ultimately a new you!  Tommy is our boy wonder, he's been a bit of a gypsy, just a bit ;).  He's worked at Toppers Spa and Volume here in Philly as well as Moxie Blue in New Jersey.  Luckily although relying more on his sheer talent, his clients always find him.  We've known Tommy for quite a while now and finally the universe has brought us together.  He's not only a part of the team but also an educator for Redken.  His love for fashion is always a treat and education in itself.  Just follow one of his fave brands KTZ at this past London Fashion Week to get a feel for his style inspiration and creative energy.

Tommy is known to his clients as a style guru, no nonsense talent with a heart of gold and killer sense of humor.  Come on in and have a cappuccino at our mini cafe, chat it up with Tommy and book your next do.  We look forward to meeting you and having a laugh.

If you're looking for a new hair stylist, look no further.  Tommy Rosario formerly a stylist at Toppers Spa in Philadelphia has now found residency at F.A.N FriendandNemesis.  F.A.N FriendandNemesis has recently been featured in Racked and Daily Candy as a new salon and fashion spot in Philadelphia's evolving Fishtown/East Kensington area.  Tommy has been making women gorgeous and men sexy for the past 24 years, not to mention his styling work at New York Fashion Week and the 2013 MTV VMA's.  He's a master at curly hair and is a Redken Certified Colorist, so he's basically our dream stylist.

About me, Kristy Lee

                    Me, Kristy Lee

I thought it would be nice to tell a bit more about myself, but just a bit ;).  

I'm really excited about our new shop in Philadelphia, F.A.N FriendandNemesis.  It's been in the works for quite some time and my hometown of Philly was the perfect place to launch.  My husband Andreas and I had been living in Brooklyn and loving it, we both worked for years developing our skills after University.  I studied Fashion Design after being a hairstylist for years and truly learned from the best.  I was fortunate to work at London Fashion Week and at Paris Fashion Week for Vivienne Westwood.  I have to say the months preparing for a show in Paris is the best training you can have in Fashion.  The Vivienne Westwood studio is a powerhouse of talent and you don't stop until the job is done with perfection.  The reality of the Fashion world did not stop there,  when I moved to New York it wasn't like you just snagged a design job.  I worked very hard to become a designer with the luxury brand Kiki De Montparnasse, and again worked with the best.  During my time there I was the Accessories Designer but also designed and developed pieces for their Ready to Wear line, if you've ever worked in Fashion you know there are many "hats to wear".  But the best part was I designed and made super dope pieces worn by some of the most interesting women in the world, and yes one of those women being Lady Gaga.  Such a cool time and my skills just elevated,  and as most designers and creatives eventually had the itch to venture out on my own.  I then created FriendandNemesis Accessories with my husband and photographer Andreas Billig.  He had been working with Interior Designers and indie Brooklyn Labels, he's killer with composition and art direction so I'm lucky to have him as my partner in life and art.  It's also a dream having a photographer as part of your design team.  

FriendandNemesis quickly got the attention of stylists and became popular at home and in Europe being featured in Nylon and Glamour to name a few ridiculously awesome publications.  And so it goes, we are part of the F.A.N team and essentially a photo stylist crew.  So it was natural for us to open a style studio otherwise know as a salon, boutique and photo studio.  I can go on and on.   There's so much to say and we love to chat, so come visit us and we'll shoot the breeze over a coffee or glass of bubbly!

I also posted a few of my favorite designs below.

Where have we been? Well it's kind of a funny story...we wanted some newness for the brand and the team so we moved our design studio to Philadelphia, little did we know new was already on the way...we had a baby, two actually, a little girl and a shop!  We became so inspired by the up and coming flavor and neighborhoods of Philly that we searched for a location. You can now find the F.A.N team at our loft like industrial space in the up and coming area of East Kensington/Fishtown where we create designs, hairstyles and photography.
