Colson Horton
Set Designer + Prop Stylist
Colson Horton’s style is a unique balance of tailored precision and playful charm. As a prop stylist with a heart for adventure, she finds endless inspiration in travel, nature, and people who confidently embrace who they are. Immersing herself in new cultures and landscapes allows her to recharge, breathe deeply, and draw from the unmatched patterns and colors found in the natural world.
On set, Horton and her team are instantly recognizable in their colorful coveralls- functional, easy to clean, and brimming with personality. Off the clock, she gravitates toward monochromatic tailored looks, elevating them with statement accessories, from bold jewels to standout shoes.
Her love for local design is evident in her daily wear, often featuring pieces from close friend Minnie Lane’s chic jewelry line. She also treasures finds from Hero, The Perfect Pair, Savant Vintage, and sparkly statements from Any Old Iron and Laura Citron.
Horton’s style extends well beyond fashion. With a curated maximalist aesthetic at home, she surrounds herself with bold, meaningful pieces. Recently, she launched a glass bowl product line, born from her styling work, perfectly blending her artistic vision with functional beauty.

Kevin Corn
Interior Designer | Vintage-Antiques Shop
Interior designer Kevin Corn embodies a style that’s equal parts timeless and relaxed; always finished with a great pair of shoes. “Classic pieces with a bespoke touch, tied to a West Coast sensibility.” He likens it to a Nancy Meyers character stepping into Double RL for a shopping montage: refined, lived-in, and effortlessly elevated. And always, without fail, a great pair of shoes.
For Corn, it’s not about chasing inspiration so much as knowing what feels natural. “That’s when I always look my best,” he says. His workday uniform features tailored pants, crisp shirts, and classic loafers- he swears by investing in quality leather. Weekends call for well-washed denim, streetwear from brands like Undefeated and Y3, and a rotation of Jordans, often paired with his dog by his side.
Local favorites in his wardrobe include STAG Provisions, Rooted, Forts, Imogene & Willie, and RRL, with Sid Mashburn next on his list.
Corn’s personal style flows seamlessly into his interiors. He creates spaces that are luxurious yet approachable, elegant but never “precious.” Much like a beloved coat or pair of jeans, his designs are made to be lived in- spaces that look good, feel good, and invite people to truly be themselves.

Tessa Fay Thompson
Fashion designer
Fashion designer, Tessa Fay, Thompson blends femininity, playfulness, and eclectic charm into every piece she creates. Her personal style is rooted in nostalgia, often inspired by vintage interiors; especially her grandmother’s home. “For every dress I’ve made, there’s an eclectic wallpaper, trimmed curtain valance, or themed dinner set somewhere to complement it,” she says.
Her signature look? A curtain dress paired with funky vintage boots. Thompson designs most of her own clothing, filling in the gaps through thrifting; particularly in East Nashville’s vibrant vintage scene. She never misses the vintage shows at the fairgrounds, where she discovers treasures that spark new ideas.
Thompson’s work blurs the lines between fashion, art, and interiors. Specializing in wearable art made from salvaged upholstery fabrics, she embraces resourcefulness as a creative catalyst. “Resourcefulness breeds creativity, which bleeds into all areas of my life,” she explains. It’s a philosophy that infuses not only her designs but also her vision for the future- dreaming of one day living in a real-life dollhouse to house all her real-life doll clothes.
Through her designs, Thompson proves that sustainability, storytelling, and style can live beautifully in the same garment.

Jenna Priest
Event Manager & Content Coordinator for Forza Pilates
Jenna Priest’s style is a study in contrasts- intentionally relaxed yet sharp, minimalist yet bold, always with a hint of edge. It’s a balance that feels both curated and effortless, much like the Scandinavian “Scandi-girl” aesthetic she so admires. “They’re cutting edge while still dressing practical,” Priest says, describing the mix of function and fashion that inspires her daily looks.
Her style uniform centers around oversized silhouettes, heirloom jewelry, and a polished manicure; a combination that speaks to both comfort and refinement. When shopping locally, she gravitates toward Rooted for designer streetwear she can share with her husband, Shop Alice for quiet luxury, Talk Nice for one-of-a-kind vintage finds, and Hero for edgy, feminine pieces.
Priest’s style philosophy extends naturally into her interior design work. She blends vintage European shapes with contemporary standouts, creating spaces where neutral furniture serves as a backdrop for colorful art and carefully collected pieces. This harmony between minimalism and statement elements mirrors her approach to personal style- thoughtful, versatile, and striking in its simplicity.
Through fashion and interiors, Priest proves that understated doesn’t mean underwhelming; it means every detail is intentional.

Cade Smith
The Curtain Call, CEO
Cade Smith’s personal style walks the line between durability, sustainability, and a touch of unexpected quirk. While he appreciates the elegance of a silk tuxedo and leather-soled monk straps, his lifestyle calls for clothing that can take a beating. “If a shoe, jacket, or pair of jeans lasts more than a year with me, that’s a good product,” he says.
Smith draws inspiration from the layered, detail-rich fashion of the Victorian era, blending it with rugged practicality- a look he playfully calls “Victorian trailer park.” His wardrobe often incorporates traditional cultural dress from around the world, always with deep respect for its origins. From a woven jacket in Oaxaca to a belt from Florence and a bag from France, each piece tells a story.
His daily uniform is simple yet intentional: Levi’s 511s, a button-up from Descendant of Thieves, and a standout “third piece” like a jacket or bag. Accessories: his David Yurman horse signet ring, Mexican silver bracelet, and Cartier Ballon Bleu watch all complete the look.
Even in interiors and design, Smith’s style ethos remains the same: quality, sustainability, and durability. “If something can be broken, I will break it; so it better be built to last.”
