Brannen, special to icenetwork Jef Billings, seen here posing with one of his Emmy Award-winning designs, left an indelible mark on the world of figure skating. -Getty Images Designer Jef Billings, who created costumes for skating stars for decades, died Tuesday at the age of 70. Billings was widely regarded as one of the most important designers in figure skating, creating opulent pieces drawn from his experience creating fashion in Hollywood. "His knack was to dive into the character that you were portraying on the ice and really bring out the flavor of that in the costume," said Kristi Yamaguchi, a frequent client of Billings. "Whether it was something comedic and fun, or elegant and glamorous, you put a Jef Billings on and it made you feel special on the ice." Scott Hamilton met Billings in 1984, when Billings showed him some sketches backstage at a tour stop. Hamilton liked his energy and enthusiasm, and the two started working together, forming a partnership that lasted decades. "There was no one like him," Hamilton said. "There are a lot of really talented people out there, but when you look at his technical ability of understanding fabric -- how to cut, how to sew, how to build and create something to make a perfect picture -- he just got it. He wanted women to look gorgeous; he wanted men to look like men. He wanted the skaters to represent whatever the character of the piece was, and he was just brilliant." Billings, who died at his home in Los Angeles on Sept.

Brannen and Drew Meekins, special to icenetwork Starr Andrews dons the earring that Olympic champ Kristi Yamaguchi once wore. ­Sarah S. Brannen An earring's journey When we talked to Starr Andrews after the juvenile ladies event, we noticed a pretty earring in her left ear, a small gold hoop with a crystal heart dangling from it. We didn't realize we had seen it before: Kristi Yamaguchi wore it as she won her Olympic gold medal in Albertville. It turns out that Tai Babilonia gave the earring to Yamaguchi back in 1992, and she wore it for the entire Olympic competition and for years afterward. "I really wanted to give her something special, something really cool," Babilonia told us. "And I saw her wearing it on the cover of Sports Illustrated." http://web.icenetwork.com/news/2014/01/23/67027190 1/5 6/29/2018 The Inside Edge: Sisterhood of the traveling earring | icenetwork.com: Your home for figure skating and speed skating. "I got it from Tai during a trying time when I competed," Yamaguchi said. "I wore it for good luck, and it symbolized strength and hope for me." Yamaguchi eventually gave the earring to Katia Gordeeva after the death of Gordeeva's husband, Sergei Grinkov, and eventually Gordeeva gave it back to Babilonia.
