As the daughter of a former longtime Chrysler executive, Eisenshtadt’s personal taste in automobiles has grown out of a deep connection to the American car industry. Her first vehicle was a white 1990 Dodge Daytona with a sunroof, given to her by her parents for graduation.

“I remember driving around the block with friends for hours at a time, listening and singing along to a cassette mix of B-52s, Madonna, Elvis Costello, and Elton John,”Eisenshtadt recalls.
In recent years, Eisenshtadt’s passion for American cars has grown even more with the challenges the auto industry has faced in Detroit.

“Glamour, menswear with a feminine twist and bling all the way down to your shoes,” is how Sharon Eisenshtadt, retail fashion expert and owner of SHE in Bloomfield Hills, sums up the overall feeling of the fall 2012 styles.

The metro Detroit native got started in the retail industry almost 25 years ago, when she worked at Bivouac in Ann Arbor.

Fashion style: Classic contemporary. “The core base of my wardrobe is classic,” she says. “I throw in trends with accessories. You can usually find me in a little black dress.”

Favorite shop: She, of course. “Even though I’m in New York a lot, I always try to shop locally,” she says. “If I see something in New York I want, I’ll call Saks in Troy to have them get it for me.”

Favorite designers: Yigal Azrouel, Catherine Malandrino, and Velvet

Fashion debut: “I’ve always liked girly clothes. I would never wear jeans and sweatshirts. In high school I used to wake up ready to dress for success. I felt better, got better grades, and now I have transferred that to my work ethic.”

Fashion advice: “Seek and purchase styles that you love. Stick to interpretations of your own personal style.”

How would you describe your personal style?

“Classic contemporary – I’m usually spotted in a chic dress. Finishing touches include a trendy handbag of the season along with a great pair of heels. I am inspired by designers such as Dolce & Gabbana, Prada and Chanel.”

Who are some of your favorite designers?

“My favorite clothing designers include Yigal Azrouël, Catherine Malandrino, PORTS 1961 and Tuleh. I prefer clothes that are feminine with a sexy flair. The simpler the better. My favorite shoes are Christian Louboutin and Stuart Weitzman.”

Talk about your outfit and why it showcases your sense of style.

“The dress is designed by Maggie Ward, and the vintage ring is by Kate Ostrove. I believe in both stylish and multipurpose clothing. This classic silhouette transitions from day into evening and between seasons.”
