Fellow Fashion Lovers,

What an exciting month around the fashion globe! Fashion Weeks are

revealing the newest of designer’s F/W 2014 collections as the cream rises

to the top, and the best of the fashion elite release their creativity and vision

to those who eagerly await the pure aesthetic of designers like that of Dubai-

based designer, Furne Amato. This month we feature the FURNE ONE

collection directly from backstage and front row of New York’s Mercedes-Benz

Fashion Week, thanks to our Fashion FacesTV NY correspondant, Wade Lee.

40’s inspired beadwork and silouettes in gray offer a muted winter tone that

speed the heart and drop the jaw! So much inspiration, we will continue

to share more of the event in the next issue!

Also, we are pleased to share this Spring with diverse and lovely actress,

Lauren Holly. Sharing more about her dynamic roles and personal life,

FF staff interviews the currently residing Canadian as we discuss her role

as Dr. Betty Rogers in MOTIVE. I can recall her memorable role as ‘Mary

Swanson’ in the comedy film, Dumb and Dumber. We can say with certainty

she is smart, caring, creative and always on the move! Enjoy this editorial, as

photographed by BABAK, capturing Lauren’s warm and personable smile.

Additionally, our hats off to Brande Wilkerson, Fashion Faces’ Creative

Marketing-Web Editor, on the very intimate editorial based on her personal

fight and lingering hope from breast cancer. We are so proud of her diligence

and positivity. She has been coping with grace and offering even more

of herself than ever; reminding us that every day is another opportunity

for self expression in our relationships, art and productivity. Be inspired by

her two shoots, aptly named, “The Choice” and “Shredded.” Should you know

someone or even be one suffering from such a disease, please reach out and

keep your hope and faith alive by interacting and associating with those who

will celebrate your individuality, strengths and life. As always, keep creating

and expressing your SELF. Hold on and keep fighting. There is only ONE you.

PERSONALBRANDING

Angel Hargreaves

he idea of marketing yourself is not new. Oprah Winfrey, Donald Trump, Orville Redenbacher and Tyra Banks

all have names that represent their products, services, company or experience. In fact, everyone recognizes these

brands by their owner’s personal branding. The more you are out in front of and interacting with the potential client

or customer, the more you are judged by building their loyalty and trust. There are two ways in which to personally

brand your self and business. One way you recognize the organization is by the person themselves. For example,

Tony Robbins is an individual who has a business and a mission that has his name and image in the front and center

of every marketing tool. The other is a model that does not link the person’s name to their organization; with this,

it leaves room for future ownership change. However, the business is connected to the personality of the branding.

An example: a model representing Calvin Klein. Here are ways “How to” personally brand yourself:

YOUR IMAGE - Include a personal professional headshot. This sets the foundation of a trusting relationship

with potential clients, customers or agents.

YOUR LOGO - By definition, a logo is a design used by an organization on its letterhead, advertising material,

and signs as an emblem by which the organization can easily be recognized. This helps people to know who you are.

YOUR BLOG - This captures your personality, humor or who you are to connect with the agent, client or potential

customers. The often-updated information creates a following and content is shared. It would be wise to have grammar

checked and to include a number of links to involve the reader interactively.

YOUR WEBSITE - Choosing the most descriptive name for the domain will make it easier for those to search

or remember your online identity. Generally the landing page will feature your logo or personal image, video or podcast,

links to social media accounts, slogan, product, shopping cart, bio and contact information. Having a website is like

a mini business card with more information about you and your business offering people an oversight about your

location, products/services and social media links.

MARKETPLACE

T

http://www.sharingourfieldsofdreams.com

YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA - Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google Plus and LinkedIn are all great sources to reach

potential clients and let your personality stand out. Sharing written articles on recommendations for a product or networking

businesses can help to build authority within your industry and community. Encourage your people to voice out their opinion

and respond to them publicly showing the type of personal service they can expect. Interact often with customers, potential

clients or agents, ensuring the essence of your personal brand.

YOUR VIDEOS AND PODCASTS - It is very easy and inexpensive to create your own short video blog post

and podcast; speaking about your advice or opinions, or interviewing other customers or experts. Video has been proven

to be the best source of Internet media. Your Authorship: Writing a book or writing articles through a traditional publisher or

self-publishing is another great way to establish publicity or creditability. You can produce it yourself or hire a ghostwriter.

Having a book can be a personal outlet to express your opinions, advice and experiences; therefore gaining a genuine following.

YOUR BUSINESS CARDS - Having a small headshot helps the potential client remember who you are when they

look back at the card. Some forget names and faces of those they have networked with unless they have the visual association.

Include your branding, name, position/title, slogan/tagline, phone number, email address and website on your business card.

YOUR PERSONAL BRANDING SLOGAN - Create a short, catchy phrase that distinctively represents and

promotes your overall efforts and helps identify your services. For example the company “Nike…Just do it.” Another example

is my book called, “Statements of Power” Change Your Statements, Your Life & World Changes” or an renown speaker Angel

Heide “Human Potential Mentor.”

YOUR DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS - Your personal branding should be focused on what you share with the world.

However, how you conduct your business and yourself on a daily basis is very important by the way you dress, speak to your

network and the quality of your work are the most powerful ways for you to communicate what is special and unique about you

and your organization. To express your personal branding:

BE REAL - Being real is your authentic friendly quality and is the most effective marketing. No being slick will do.

BE VULNERABLE - It is okay to tell stories of your failures in both business and personal life, of where you are now

and admitting being overwhelmed by a challenge in your business or life. This will aid in gaining trust and connection

between you and others as a genuine human being.

BE TRANSPARENT - Show true stories of client testimonials, case studies and/or statistics from the many people

you have helped. It is a more powerful influence than impressive credentials.



’m launching my very own skin product line called FoM™ soon.

It’s about clean, light, high quality products that I have designed to enhance the look and style of both men and women equally.

The name FoM comes from a blend of the words femme and homme. I love the imagery of sea foam — clean, refreshing and natural!

We live in a new era. Old gender roles and rules are confining and out-of-date. I decided to design the FoM products as I began to see an exciting new feeling of individualism and self-expression developing in my clients and the people I meet everyday. People want to have self-determination in all aspects of their lives more than ever. I believe that is reflected in their choice of lifestyle products too. FoM™ expresses that ideal. We believe we are creating more than a product. We intend to be a lifestyle brand. We like to say, “Ästhetiks are Evolving. Are You?”™ I’m excited about the evolution of FoM™!

We haven’t launched yet, but those who are interested can sign up to receive email updates about the FoM line at: http://bymarcela.com

BEE VENOM: A Buzzing New Trend

anuka Doctor, an innovative skincare therapy company with

headquarters in Auckland, New Zealand, is using the potency

of bee venom to produce safe, natural, and functional skin

treatments. Products are composed of patented Purified Bee

Venom and New Zealand Manuka Honey, which combine to

create moisturizers, facemasks, serums, and cleansers

that effectively combat acne and aging.

The Purified Bee Venom used by Manuka Doctor is raw bee

venom that has been purified in a sustainable and bee friendly

way. During the purification process any and all impurities

are removed from the venom, which in turn creates more

potent venom. This purification furthermore “makes the active

components highly concentrated,” which means that less venom

is needed to achieve visible results. Manuka Doctor describes

their products as “naturally inspired, scientifically enhanced,”

which indicates that they use scientific research to better

the preexisting qualities of natural ingredients.

JWT Global Trend Analysts has named bee venom the “number

one beauty trend of 2013.” It is evident that bee venom boasts

properties beneficial to the general wellness of the skin, as bee

venom products are used by celebrities like Kate Middleton,

Victoria Beckham, and Scarlett Johansson to obtain flawless skin.

Manuka Doctor products are divided into three primary lines:

ApiNourish, ApiClear, and ApiRevive. ApiNourish, which claims

to “protect & moisturize the skin,” relies on the skin regenerating

qualities of bee venom and the moisturizing qualities of Manuka

honey. ApiClear relies on the antibacterial properties of Purified

Bee Venom, and advertises, “balance for troubled skin.” The

ApiClear line is geared toward those looking for a solution to

acne. ApiRevive boasts “restorative natural products.” Each

product is created to serve a specific skin problem, whether it be

dry skin, blemishes, or excess oil. Best sellers include Foaming

Facial Cleanser, Skin Serum, and Facial Moisturizing Lotion from

Manuka Doctor’s ApiClear line, and Rejuvenating Face Mask and

Rejuvenating Skin Cream from Manuka Doctor’s ApiNourish line.

Manuka Doctor products only recently became available

in the United States, and can be purchased online.

ax is an extra fuzzy German shepherd and although the klutzy pup is a little

uncoordinated at the age of 6-months, one day he will grow into a distinguished

and dignified dog. Outgoing and amiable, he makes friends easily whether he’s mingl-ing at the dog park or entertaining the kids

at a family gathering. Daily exercise is a must to burn his relentless energy and this leash trained canine would be a wonderful

pal for someone who enjoys long-winded power walks.

O


FF - Born in Pennsylvania to English and

Art Professors how did coming from such an

academic background affect your childhood

and life choices?

LH - Priority in my house growing up was

education. Consequently I was an avid reader.

I’m sure that cultivating my imagination in that

way helped prepare me to be a better actor.

I think my path may boil down, though, to two

defining experiences in my life that occurred

because of my learned parents. The first was

living abroad when I was twelve, and the

second was choosing Sarah Lawrence to go

to college. If it wasn’t for these two events,

I’m not sure I would have ended up becoming

an actress.

FF - As a fashion magazine, many of our

readers are aspiring models (which in some

ways is similar to acting). How long did it take

for you to get your big break? And what jobs

did you have to take to support yourself?

LH - I was very fortunate. I did my first

movie when I was a senior in college, and

started working fairly steadily within a

couple of months of graduation. Still, I had to

supplement my income for a bit. Besides a

nightshift job in a vegetable canning factory,

I also did about every job you could do in the

restaurant business.

FF - Who is your go-to designer for Awards

season and Formal occasions?

LH - I have always loved Valentino, Dolce,

and Armani. Since living in Canada, I have

discovered my new fav, Stephan Caras.

FF - We understand Alexander, your oldest,

has recently joined you as an actor. What tips

did you share with him in his ventures?

LH - AZER, it is the way he said his name

(Alexander) when he first started speaking,

and it stuck. Tips: Do it if you love it, and

you are willing to work hard. Don’t take ‘no’

personally, it won’t be about you, but only

about who you are trying to play. This business

can wreak havoc with your self esteem.

FF - Has living and raising children in

Illinois away from Hollywood changed your

personal style?

LH - I actually have been raising my boys

in Toronto, Canada. I wanted to live and work in

a big city that was close to where I grew up in

upstate New York. I think my personal style has

gotten more relaxed because of it. I’m a busy

Mom, and I never think about where paparazzi

might be hiding like I did when I lived in LA. It’s

all about ease and comfort.


by Laine Dakin

Lauren Holly

FF - What other specific projects do you

have in the works?

LH - Currently I’m working on the CTV/ABC

series MOTIVE. We just finished shooting our

second season. I think my hiatus is going to be

a busy one as I’m in the middle of negotiating

for roles in two feature films.

FF - Your historical role in the award-winning docu-drama, Field of Lost Shoes, tells of Confederate soldiers who embark on “friendship, duty and love of country.” Having portrayed a historical female figure from the Civil War era, in what ways do these three motives propel you as a modern woman? What do you find worth fighting for?

LH - Freedom. For all. We are so lucky

to have it.

FF - In the emotive role as Ruth Elliott in the

film, Hoovey, share with our readers how this

true story impacted the relationship with your

own children?

LH - I’m so excited about this movie.

It is such an inspiring story. So many of us have

dealt with challenges in our lives, and medical

and financial ones are debilitating and all too

common. I’m also proud that this movie can be

enjoyed by the whole family. Kids will love it as

much as their parents.

FF - Is there a role you wish you had taken

or been offered?

LH - Over the years, hundreds of them!

Luckily I don’t obsess too much after the no, and

usually understand the choice as soon as

I see the finished product.

FF - With such a dynamic portfolio ranging from fictional comedies to real life dramas, what methods do you practice to prepare for such vigorous roles? Which do you find the most challenging?

LH - I do seem to bounce around a lot! I think I just throw myself in. It’s that imagination. If there is research to do, I am voracious. Otherwise I just concoct my own history. My job is so fun!

FF - Woman of Camelot, Ethel Kennedy (Robert “Bobby” Kennedy’s widow), lived her life in the political spotlight with her husband and eleven children. How do you best balance the Hollywood spotlight with regard to your own family? How do you best prioritize the organized chaos of personal balance plus career?

LH - You said it, “organized chaos.” We are always busy, always on the move. Actors are like carnies, traveling from set to set. Fortunately, my boys love the experiences, and easily go back and forth between ‘real’ life and my fanciful one. It is all they have known.

by Laine Dakin & Jenna Belt



FF - The irony of your early role in “All My Children” bears the elaboration on your current role as adoptive mother of “The Three Kings.” Kindly share a bit about the devotion and commitment to your children.

LH - It is simple, they are everything to me. Each of them is so different, my most important job is to foster their individuality. I was ready for kids in that I was ready to be unselfish. The biggest surprise is that I’m realizing that we are also going to be great friends.

FF - As a spokesperson for Susan Lucci’s “Youthful Essence” infomercial, how have you applied this and other beauty knowledge to your daily regimen? What are some of your preferred cosmetic and skincare products and services?

LH - I don’t have a lot of time for pampering, so I’m all about preventative stuff. I try to be healthy, because I think beauty comes from within. I became such a big fan of a line of health products that I got involved in the business. LaurenHolly.vemma.com. Check it out. My CRAZE at the moment is ‘Renew.’ Incredibly tasty, and so good for my hair, skin,

and nails. We use ALL the products in my

house, and now all my friends do too!

FF - How did you develop the internal ability to play such diverse roles as Dr. Betty Rogers, Bruce Lee’s wife, Mary Swanson, Ethel Kennedy and others? What sensory, emotional or psychological faculty allows you to tap into performing these characters best?

LH - Not sure. Be good if I could bottle it! I think I’m back to my imagination…LOL.

FF - May I say, “Thank you for the laughs” in your memorable and entertaining role in Dumb and Dumber (a personal favorite!). Can you highlight a special recollection from the production of this iconic film? #highfive

LH - It was as much fun making it. So many laughs. We filmed over two long weekends- Memorial Day and July 4th. Both times a huge group of cast and crew rented houseboats on Lake Powell. Swimming, BarBQ, star-gazing, and tons more laughs. #goodtimes

FF - Of your many landed auditions, which favored character were you most proud to portray? #proudestmoment

LH - Maybe the most memorable was for a CBS series called ‘The Antagonists.’ It was for the lead, and it was my first time to audition for an auditorium of network executives. I was so scared, and so unbelievably excited when I got it. It was the beginning of so much...

FF - You once stated in an interview, “…No one is born a supermodel.

Practice your posing and facial expressions until you can nail each shot effortlessly.”

What was something that took a lot of practice starting out as a model that you can now do effortlessly?

JC - EVERYTHING took a lot of practice when I was first starting. I didn’t know how to pose or what to do

with my face, and it showed in my pictures. Looking a little closer at the models’ expressions and how their

bodies moved in the magazines I read, I practiced different looks in the mirror. Granted I looked like a dork, but

it helped as I memorized the angles my face looked best. I watched videos of models on YouTube. Eventually

I could take a headshot with perfection. It took me forever to learn how to pose with my body so that I looked

long and lean. After practicing and shooting for about a year, I felt like I could do everything in my sleep.

FF - What would you consider to be your best feature? What do you do to take care of and maintain it?

JC - My best feature is my skin! I spend a lot of time babying it. It’s super dry, very sensitive and needs a

lot of TLC. I wear sunscreen anytime I go outside, and put on a light coat of body oil on as soon as I get

out of the shower to lock the moisture in. Otherwise, I pay for it all day with tight, itchy skin. At night I use

a cleansing oil to wash my face and slap on some argan oil while its still wet to keep it soft overnight.

FF - Which beauty product can you not live without? How were

you initially turned on to it and by whom?

JC - I‘m in love with sunscreen. I’ve worn it on my face 365 days

a year since I was 16, and people still ask me if I’m in high school!

My dad had serious skin cancer as a young man so I was a freak

about applying it everyday, even during the winter months. As a

bonus, I still look relatively young and therefore more marketable

as a model. I like Neutrogena Age Shield Face SPF 100+ because

it doesn’t make my skin oily.

FF - What does modeling do for you (mentally, spiritually,

physically, etc.) that makes you want to keep achieving more

in that industry?

JC - Modeling is a way for me to get creative. I’ve met a lot of cool

people and close friends from some of the work I’ve done. That’s the

best part. In real life I’m quiet, and working with others helps me open

up and not be such a dork all the time. I like getting crazy with all the

clothes and makeup and having the opportunity to travel.

FF - You’ve been all around the world. What has been

your favorite location to shoot in? Please share about some

of the most memorable places you have travelled to!

JC - It’s impossible to pick a favorite place. I had a

great time working in Iceland with Maxim photographer,

Arnold Bjornsson. One of the pictures ended up on the

front page of the national newspaper, and their editor

called to interview me and published it! I visited some

awesome natural wonders of the country and I’ll never

forget it. Also, I worked with an agency in China for

a summer which was tough, but I got to visit almost

every Asian country in the process. Asia is simply an

insanely neat, cheap place to visit; it’s a must-see.

FF - From your blog, you clearly seem to enjoy poetry and travel.

What would you want to do instead of modeling given these interests?

JC - My dream as a kid was to be a librarian because I loved

reading and quiet places. Something I still love today. My life plan

is to move to Hawaii and be a surfer!

FF - You stated on your blog that when you travel, you should keep

a journal and write down all of the interesting things you think or hear

while traveling. What are some of your favorite excerpts from

your travel journal?

JC - I get a kick out of reading some of the first things I wrote.

On my first trip overseas I brought three huge suitcases. Now I only

bring a carryon. I made lists of things I wish I had brought, all the dumb

jokes I heard, the weird stuff I ate or saw, the people that I met and the

fun times we had together. I pick a few songs for each trip and listen to

them a million times at my destination. Now every time I hear them

I remember where I was and what I was doing.

FF - Are you currently with an agency or freelance?

JC - I’ve worked with three agencies in the past but

now I’m freelance. The first time I was signed I was so

excited! I felt like I had “made it” as a model. Having

a status as an agency girl boosted my confidence and

opened more doors for me. Since I’ve had a lot of work

and networking experience in the past few years I’m

able to keep myself busy as a freelance model.

FF - Is there anything else you would prefer to share

about yourself and your professional experiences?

JC - If you’re starting out as a model, have fun with it.

Keep your wits about you. Keep your clothes on for the

first year. Shoot with everyone you can. Ask other people

who they liked working with. Ask for references when

you’re shooting with a stranger for the first time. Reach

out to photographers and models that you love. Realize

that the modeling industry is small and that everything

you do and say will be repeated and discussed. Keep

the diva behavior at home. Learn how to do your own

basic makeup and hair.

The fashion and modeling industry is not particularly

glamorous: the physical standards are grueling and

at times you are only a disposable product. Someone

is always going to be taller and prettier. Surrounding

yourself with friends and normal people is crucial to

your sanity. Keep your mind and body strong and

keep smiling. Work hard and stay humble!

FF - Tell us your top 5 favorite music artists?

JC - AVICII, Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey, Bonobo,

and Justin Bieber.

FF - These are few of your favorite things… (list)

JC - Pizza, reading, Pinkberry yogurt, my electric

blanket, subscription beauty boxes by mail,

swimming and shopping at Target.

FF - When do you feel the happiest?

JC - I feel the happiest when mom and dad tell

me they are proud of me.

FF - We are curious about your connection with

Beauty Bundles by Beholder EL...

JC - I’m a spokesmodel for Beauty Bundles

premium hair extensions which is located in DC,

my hometown. The company that makes them is a

one-stop beauty shop. They do makeup, hair and

wardrobe styling for magazine shoots and big events

on the East Coast.


rt is personal as it should be... Art, photography and fashion design are all forms of personal expression. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So naturally it was the 1st thing I turned to when expressing my emotions after being diagnosed withBreast Cancer at age 39.

The Choice


ight around Christmas 2013, I had followed up with a doctor’s ordered mammogram after feeling some pin prick pains in my breast that just didn’t seem right. As women, I believe our bodies tell us when something’s not right and we MUST listen!

Well, my mammo came back positive and they ordered a biopsy which determined I had cancer. I knew I initially had a “CHOICE” as to how to respond to this thing, so went into my design studioand got to work! I started designing and styling, then called my team together and we created!

“ he Choice” came to life! It is my artistic processing of the emotion of

receiving the diagnosis. I made the decision to leave the negative

behind and move through boldly into HOPE & Faith!

The care I have received from the medical teams has been phenomenal!

The network of friends going through the same thing, the survivors and

those passionate about beating Cancer’s ass…I gravitate towards!

Support is #1 but it still doesn’t make the process of surgeries,

radiation therapy and years of monitoring any easier.

his set was in response to my lumpectomy/

partial mastectomy that I had endured just

weeks after my initial diagnosis. Doctors

treat cancer aggressively and quickly.

I am grateful for this but at the same time

it is a lot to handle emotionally as well as

physically. The fear of the unknown is

sometimes very heavy considering the

future potential of losing both breasts if

this enemy tries to attack again. This is

the FIGHT, the WAR AND the VICTORY

in my eyes! And so I share this portion

of the story in “Shredded.”

True Cinderella


PHOTOGRAPHY + FASHION DESIGN

“The ability to unleash unbridled creativity into a project is something I'll cherish forever.”


True Cinderella

“...A person’s eyes, their gestures, the subtle

lifting at the corner of their mouths, the way a hand

may flare slightly up, etc. The essence is in the details

and capturing them is beyond rewarding.”

- Emily Gualdoni


True Cinderella

True Cinderella


Photographer, Emily Gualdoni

FF - When did you know you had a passion

for telling stories through pictures?

EG - My passion for the photography form of

storytelling goes back to my wanting to be apart

of the art world. I have always enjoyed art and have

known it was something I wanted to pursue since

second grade, when I declined going to recess in

order to draw or take photos of my friends as we

played dress up. When I got to high school my

dad lent me his 35 MM camera, and with his

support I continued taking pictures of my friends

on a more professional level. After that, my love

of photography really started to flourish. I took as

many art classes and photography classes as I

could in college, and expanded my experience

from there. It was through experimentation and

play that lead me to fully develop my passion

for photography.

FF - Where do fashion and photography meet?

EG - Fashion meets photograph in the conceptual

stages for me. Brainstorming, coming up with ideas

and scenarios for different visuals are not only a lot

of fun, but it’s where I work to match the fashion with

the photographic style and process. It’s where my

creativity and what I want the final product to be

make contact, and physically manifest the idea.


True Cinderella

FF - What is your favorite part of photographing someone?

EG - My favorite part of photographing someone is when

I can really capture the essence of who they are. No matter

what my subject matter is or what situation the person is in;

to get emotion on film is a beautiful thing. A person's eyes,

their gestures, the subtle lifting at the corner of their mouths,

the way a hand may flare slightly up, etc. The essence is in

the details and capturing them is beyond rewarding.

FF - You do slight airbrushing on some of your photography.

What are the upsides and downsides to airbrushing to you?

EG - Airbrushing and retouching will always be apart of

this industry. I think that it has a lot of upsides. In my work,

I exercise the positives by streamlining it aesthetically;

making the photographs flow easily. I do my best to have

my adjustments look natural, primarily smoothing skin and

bulges. It’s possible to use retouching to simply polish the

image, and that is often my goal. The downsides to air-

brushing are when people tend to overdo it. It’s too easy to

go overboard and make something completely unrealistic

and glaringly obvious. That’s wrong! Skin so smooth that

it’s shiny just doesn’t make since. It will always look odd.

FF - What about working in Chicago enhances your work?

EG - Living in Chicago greatly enhances my practice! It’s

ten times easier to get my hands on all kinds of resources

from equipment, to food, to all kinds of crazy props and

materials. My location also makes it easier for my teams

and models to come to the studio. When I shoot on location,

there are endless amounts of places/setting I can go to.

FF - What is your favorite part of photographing someone?

I can really capture the essence of who they are. No matter

“I designed the aesthetic of the shoot around the color palettes and textures found in the fabrics...” - Emily Gualdoni

True Cinderella


FF - The shoot “True Cinderella”

is a Marie Antoinette meets fairy tale.

What was your inspiration behind this?

EG - A lot of thought went into my

“True Cinderella” shoot. The inspiration

primarily came from the designer,

Rachel Sarah Goldberg of Thanatos

Couture, who made the garments.

She was primarily influenced by

the Rococo Movement of the 18th

century. Combing the fantastical

elements of what happens in the

original Cinderella story by the

Brothers Grimm, with this beautiful

artistic movement resulted in her

stunning designs. They are truly

some of the most interesting and

beautiful garments I’ve ever seen.

Naturally, they were my inspiration.

I designed the aesthetic of the shoot

around the color palettes and textures

found in the fabrics, and I am very

happy with the way it all turned out.

True Cinderella


True Cinderella

FF - The Cinderella character has

this elegance and regal aura about her.

What made you want to portray

Cinderella, after the rags?

EG - She was portrayed as regal,

because throughout the entire story

she is a character with a pure heart

whose worthy of the princess she

becomes. It’s not only more fitting

to the narrative to portray her that way,

but it’s also a lot more fun. This is not

only my perspective to portray her

in this light, the designer made the

dress to embody all of the magic

that Cinderella represents.

FF - We at Fashion Faces love

the way the “True Cinderella” shoot

tells a story. Out of all the types of

photography you are doing, which

is your favorite?

EG - Editorial Creative Fashion

shoots have always been, and will

always be my favorites to shoot. I love

having unlimited freedom with my work.

In a creative editorial I can tell any

story, with any model, wearing any-

thing, with any makeup, in any setting,

with any props. The ability to unleash

unbridled creativity into a project is

something I'll cherish forever. I will

always make work that I can express

something with in this manner.

he first time I saw Gianni Versace’s 1990

Summer/Spring collection I knew that fashion

was something worth capturing. I want my

photography to evoke a lasting memory or

feeling, just like what I felt when viewing

this line for the first time.

The inspiration behind the “Without/Permit”

shoot came from Luc Besson’s “Angel-A”.

I felt that the shoot reflected perfectly the

mood he was portraying in his story. It’s

images of a beautiful woman running away

from her broken heart, an angel fallen from

another place, a woman not free to love.

I love using New York’s landscape for my

photos, because the city is so unique.

New York City gives my photography

the right contrast and intensity, with

imagery we take for granted as

our every day scenery.

rt Meets Architecture & Graphic Design! Get Ready USA! The first COS flagship store will open in NYC this spring!

First let’s get my final word on London Fashion Week out ofthe way! As is usual these days with such events, it passed

without trace’! Loud flashy and mediocre in the extreme, it thrilled only the credulous and dim! Disappointing for me were the Korean designers, whom I had very much looked forward to seeing, as on a recent trip to Korea, I had seen

some wonderful examples of extremely original Korean design! Sadly none of these were on show in London,

and all the Korean designers on show during LFW, were a sad flashy artless ‘Lady Gaga-esque’ mish mash of other peoples ideas from the past! All were products

of London based fashion schools! And none had any style or originality of their own!

Having said this, let us now move to something genuinely cool original and interesting! And it’s called Sweden!

All of you who perceive me as some sort of ‘cutting edge style gangster’, always ready to sink my teeth into the bloated buttocks of the fashion industry, and punish it for its mediocrity and unoriginality! And only ‘bigging up’ the ‘cool cutting edge and terminally arty!’ May find it somewhat incongruous, to now find me this month lavishing praise on what is effectively a ‘high street multiple’! COS though is like no multiple you have ever seen! Being both effortlessly cool and wonderfully arty! The COS brands excellent good taste incredibly affordable good quality and superb sense of style, puts the COS way ahead of the game! And certainly leaves 99% of ‘A List’ designer brands looking extremely tacky vulgar and overpriced by comparison!

A cool edgy quirky minimalist alchemy that very cleverly mixes Scandinavian minimalist Kool! With an artful dash of Yohji Yamamto, a touch of ‘vintage’ Prada (before it lost the plot!) and a dash of ‘vintage’ Hemut Lang (before he also lost it!).

Sweden is considered to be perhaps the most civilised and best educated country in the world! With the highest standard of living and certainly the best quality of life!

21st Century Modernist Scandinavian Minimalist Kool Meets Yohji Yamamoto!

he Swedish/Scandinavian design aesthetic is famous

throughout the world for its technical simplicity and

pure ultra kool perfect functional minimal aesthetic

and mastery of style.

In Sweden they don’t waste time on meaningless retro

or pointless over decoration! This is considered cheap

vulgar and unintelligent! The classic Bauhaus ethic of

Walter Gropius, the brilliant, visionary and even today

hugely influential pre war German designer’s ‘Form

Follows Function’! Is something that has not been

forgotten in the brilliance and purity of Scandinavian

design! Indeed, in Sweden and Denmark, it could almost

be said that they are ‘genetically incapable’ of bad taste!

(Unless they have been drinking that is! When the ‘Inner

Viking’ will often manifest itself!).

Sweden, indeed he whole of Scandinavia has, like

everywhere else, a ‘dark side’! There are in the winter

very long dark nights with little daylight! This often leads

to a (sometimes delicious) brooding melancholy! But also

to a certain thoughtfulness, which can and indeed does

lead to the creation of excellence in design!

Not only with extremely cool stylish wearable affordable

and extremely functional fashion! But also with brilliant

innovative and globally successful music production!

And now with the most incredible brilliant and addictive

‘Scandi-Noir Crime Series’ for TV! Such as the brilliant

Wallender, and way out ahead of the rest the incredible

‘Bridge’! Sweden/Denmark, are showing the rest of

the world how it’s done when it comes to addictively

hypnotic drama! The Bridge though has been a global

cult phenomenon! Dark brooding and in every sense

addictive! It features a Swedish Policewoman called

‘Saga’, who is now a global cult figure, and has pushed

the sales of leather pants by 100%!

COS clothing is a reflection of the entire alchemy and

philosophy that make up the cool minimalist brilliance

of Swedish/Scandinavian fashion design! Imagine the

best of Scandinavian pure minimalist kool, meets Yohji

Yamamotos, Japanese Ultra Cool ‘Zen Styling’! And you

have the flavour and essential alchemy of COS!

COS clothing is a reflection

that make up the cool minimalist brilliance

Imagine the best of Scandinavian pure minimalist kool,

meets Yohji Yamamotos, Japanese Ultra Cool ‘Zen Styling’!

And you have the flavour and essential alchemy of COS!

Seriously 21st Century Modernist, with no negative retro influences! COS is the ultimate

destination for the more intelligent sophisticated Women (of any age) with taste, who want

that cool intelligent very continental European minimalist styling! Cos is thankfully absolutely

not ‘rock n roll’! It is not flashy trashy or vulgar, and is an indicator of what the modern stylish

intelligent Woman really wants to wear! Rather than the often rather nasty over decorated

‘trash and flash’ that most brands and designers keep throwing into the fashion circus!

Chris Garland on


hat makes COS even more interesting,

is that in many respects, it is not ‘fashion’! It’s far

to cool for that! And totally transcends the tacky

dis-information that is the world of fashion and

trends, by being as far a style and design is

concerned, pretty much perfect, and

ridiculously affordable!

Equally fascinating, is that COS is not a high-

end ultra pricey designer brand! Indeed it does

not see itself as ‘a brand’ as such! (Again, far to

cool for that!) It is in fact, part of the H&M group,

but has no resemblance to H&M whatsoever!

Equally remarkable is that COS is in a sense

a ‘chain store’, with branches in all the key

major cities of Europe, from London to Berlin!

However the COS cool tasteful minimalist

design architecture, make it totally unlike

any chain store you have ever seen!

The big news for the USA, is that the first

American flagship store, will be opening in

New York City, this spring! And the Cool Stylish

Europhobic New Yorkers, are certain to go wild

for it! Again this will certainly be enhanced

by the irresistible affordability of the brilliant

and 100% must have Women’s range! So

get ready USA! Scandinavian Euro Kool

is coming! And you’re gonna love it!

COS opened their first UK store about five years ago!

And it was an instant hit! Certainly with my girlfriend

who would (and indeed still does!) descend on our

nearby COS branch on Kensington High Street and

come home heavily laden with new purchases!

(Even the bags are cool by the way!)

The only slight criticism I can find to make, is of the

slightly ‘normal’ lacklustre quality of the COS Mens-

wear Range! It really is rather disappointing, certainly

in comparison to the excellence of the Womenswear!

It’s all very ‘nice’ tasteful, cool, stylish, minimal, and

well made! But for me far to ‘normal lad’! And lacks

that certain cool edgy quirkiness of the Woman’s

collection! What should happen is, that many of the

Women’s garments (tops/knits etc) should also be

produced in XXXL men’s sizes! There is in fact a huge

demand for this amongst ‘boys’, (something the COS

head of design seem entirely unaware off!) who seeing

the extremely cool stuff their wives, and girlfriends are

buying from COS, desperately try to force themselves

into the larger, but still not large enough girls tops!

My criticism of ‘COS Boys’ though is perhaps a

criticism of menswear in general! (Other than Ian

Batten, Yohji Yamamoto (but not the dreadful Y3) and

the odd couple of Belgium’s!) And compared to most

other Men Collections, COS Boys Trans-Europa Kool’!

Is way out ahead, and again exceptionally well made

and affordable!

One extra tip! When floating off to your COS store to

max out your credit card (which you will undoubtedly

do!) Always buy two sizes larger then you normally

take! COS looks extremely cool when work a little

loose and floppy! And tight and fitted is sooo over

now anyway! Just like high heels! (Unless they are

the Trippen Japanese style wedge blocks!)

So wave goodbye to over decoration! And get ready

for Scandinavian Minimalist Kool! The return of good

taste and style! And importantly a clothing brand that

is living in the 21st Century and empowers, rather

than objectifies Women!

PHOTOGRAPHY



I became interested in photography when I got my first

camera at sixteen. I had no idea how to use it. In the

beginning it was frustrating, because the results were

disappointing most of the time. When I left high school,

I went on to study photography and different camera

techniques. I practiced everyday!

I really admire the works of Lina Tesch and Emily Soto.

They both have very unique and different styles. Tesch’s

work is dark and provoking, and Soto’s work is very

dreamy and full of images. I looked and continue

to look to them, because they have achieved so much

in the industry and always stay true to their style.

I want my work to show the beauty of the small things

that surround us everyday. I want people to be inspired

by simple things and be happy.

For me fashion photography is a genre that allows you

to be creative, and leaves you room for ideas and stories.

Plus I love fashion and the ever-changing trends that

comes with it. Combining clothing and colors, and

making them fit in my pictures is always interesting.

Everyone wants to take a photo that is special and

different from everything that has already been done

before. While in the preparing and discussing stage

of my shoots I like to get to know the model. When you

do this you can better capture his/her personality. I love

to shoot models that have a flair to them, and not just fit

into the mold of what is expected. While we are on set

I want them to feel as comfortable as possible and have

fun. A shoot is a team effort; you get better results when

everyone is at ease and on the same page.



Currently most of my plans and dreams are centered on

my career. However, I would love to travel around the world

and see all the magnificent places I have not yet been able

to see. I have dreams of seeing polar lights in Norway or

learning how to surf in Hawaii. But above all, I just want

to be happy and surrounded by the people I love.

- Laura Pearl, Photographer

“ ading Memories” was shot in Soest, Germany at a giant

and colorfully fun fairground. I chose that place because it

underlines my idea that as we grow up, we lose all of the

lightheartedness we had as a child. Children are creative,

fearless and full of fantasy. We lose this perception more with

age. The fun fair with its carousels and candy shops reminds

me of the carefree childhoods we used to have, and how easy

it was to be impressed by something. The memories of all this

slowly fade away and if we do not remind ourselves of it.

I am very interested in the world of fashion, thanks to my family...especially my sister, Olatz.

She always liked to take my pictures and said that I was photogenic. Olatz took the first photos

of me and encouraged me to try my luck in the agencies. Over the years, while I was travelling

in Berlin, Germany my friend, Aitor Auzmendi, (photographer and film camera) created my first

photo shoot. He’s been involved in all that I have been doing since and has always supported

my growth as a model.

Five years ago I started working in the South of Spain (Caños de Meca, Cádiz), taking the

summer season in restaurants as a cook (El Arriate, El Dorado and La Jaima). My first trip

to Morocco (with friend, Mikel) had millions of adventures that you can read in one year

(because I am writing the book now) where we lived very intensely; as we were held for

thirty hours in a hostel, went for Ramadam, saw the desert, swindled police, climbed

the highest mountain of the country, etc...

Last year was special for me. I met my girlfriend, Rebeca, when I

was chef in La Jaima (Cadiz). After just 15 days, I proposed she

go with us again to visit India, Thailand, Cambodia, Viet Nam,

Philippines and China. When we returned, Rebeca and I moved

to Madrid, Spain where both she and my family (especially my

mother) convinced me to sign up with an agency.

Thanks to them, in less than a year I managed to fulfill my dream

of being a model. Thanks to my family (specifically, my MOTHER),

Nerea, Erika, Olatz, Roberto (who is my particular photographer

with Andrée), and especially Rebecca. They advised and

encouraged me that every day is not the last. I am pausing

with fashion for five months to get back to the kitchen of the

restaurant, Arriate Lounge & Bar in Ibiza, Spain.

he following years we desired to fly further,

so we traveled to Asia to tour countries like

Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Borneo and

Brunei. This took us one full year with a

knapsack on our backs, so we could

tell you a thousand and one stories!

To simplify, I say all you need to put in your

backpack are just four things; Passport,

credit cards, cash, a pencil and paper.

You don’t need anything else to really get

to know a country. The rest will teach to you.

We have to see what’s there outside, because

we need to know what’s inside. Its good to

read books, listen to stories, watching movies,

documentaries, etc... But honestly, only you

can really see when you look with your eyes.

MAKEUP ARTISTRY

model - anja

This make-up I’ve made up with Aqua Colors of Eulenspiegel. I was surprised how well you can work with normal “children’s paint.” Luckily, model and photographer were so patient! It has taken time to paint the flowers in detail. In the selection of the model I made use of the beautiful skin and bright eyelashes and eyebrows that do not distract from the subject.

#flowerpower

ieses Make-up habe ich mit Aqua-Colors von Eulenspiegel geschminkt. Ich war überrascht, wie gut man mit normaler “Kinderschminke” arbeiten kann. Ein Glück, dass Model und Fotografin so geduldig waren! Es hat seine Zeit gedauert, die Blumen in allen Details zu malen. Bei der Auswahl des Models habe ich auf eine schöne Haut und helle Wimpern und Augenbrauen geachtet, die nicht vom Motiv ablenken.

ieses Shooting fand bei eisiger Kälte und Regen statt. Wir mussten fast eine Stunde im Auto warten, bis der Regen nachgelassen hatte und wir uns nach draußen begeben konnten. Die Frisur hat dem Wetter standgehalten. Nur die Lippen des Models mussten ab und zu aufgefrischt werden (siehe Making-of). Shootings mit der Fotografin Andrea Hübner sind immer toll, da sie sehr stimmungsvolle Bilder macht und wir oft einen ähnlichen Geschmack haben.

This shoot took place in the freezing cold and rain. We had almost an hour in the car to wait until the rain stopped and we were able to move out. The hair style has withstood the weather. Only the lips of the models from time to time had to be refreshed (see Making-of). Shoots with photographer Andrea Hübner are always great because they make very evocative images and we often have similar taste.

ieses Shooting war ein weiteres gemeinsames Projekt mit der Fotografin Andrea Hübner. Hierfür habe ich zum ersten mal ein

Outfit selber geschneidert. In den Karostoff hatte ich mich auf den ersten Blick verliebt. Um den Look etwas femininer zu gestalten,

habe ich die Spitze mit eingearbeitet. Haare und Make-up habe ich dementsprechend auf das Outfit abgestimmt. Model Hannah

hat ein wunderschönes Profil, weshalb die seitlichen Portraits dieser Serie meine Favoriten sind.

This shoot was another joint project with the Photographer, Andrea Hübner. For this I have one

tailored the outfit itself for the first time. I had love at first sight with the checked fabric. To make the look a little more feminine,

I had worked with the top. Hair and makeup I have used accordingly with the outfit. Model Hannah

has a beautiful profile, so the lateral portraits in this series are my favorites.

Se fundo en 2005 por dos hermanas nacidas en Barcelona.

Yolanda (1978) y Cristina (1977). Directoras creativas

de la marca y alma de YolanCris.

El interés que sienten tanto Yolanda como Cristina por

la costura y la moda en el mundo nupcial es por herencia

familiar, su madre, una pionera en el mundo empresarial

nupcial, les inculcó desde bien pequeñas su pasión por

el trabajo bien hecho y les enseñó a sentir la magia

que el mundo de los vestidos de novia desprende.

Tiempo atrás trabajaron en tienda propia creando

vestidos de novia a medida pero no fue hasta ese año,

en que finalizaron sus respectivos estudios, cuando

crearon su primera colección y la presentaron en 2006

en la Pasarela Gaudí Novias, dentro de la gran feria

internacional Barcelona Bridal Week; creando así lo

que hoy se reconoce como una marca líder en vestidos

de novia y vestidos de noche, su repercusión es tanto

a nivel nacional como internacional.

Con la misma fuerza que al principio Yolanda y Cristina

siguen remodelando, modernizando y reconstruyendo su

empresa con personalidad y creatividad, apoyándose en su

equipo que las acompaña desde el principio y apostando

por la fiabilidad de la producción propia y nacional, la

calidad del trabajo hecho a mano, con el valor añadido de

la aportación de la originalidad y la innovación de nuevos

diseños, siempre mirando hacia adelante, con un pie en

el presente y un paso firme hacia el futuro.

urne One may have just had it’s debut show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2014

FTL moda + art hearts fashion presentation, but fashion designer, Furne Amato, is far

from a newbie to the fashion world. His brand, Amato Haute Couture, has been in high demand

for years. His ability to think outside of the box while skillfully designing extravagant and artistic

couture has been celebrated world wide. When asked where he gains is inspiration from Furne

answers with this, “I often find myself basing my designs on six constants: movies, music, vintage images, gothic art, books and plays.”

Furne was mesmerized by fashion from an early age having inherited his mother and

grandmother’s passion for beautiful clothes and began sketching at the age of ten.

Originally from the Philippines, Furne One’s first stride into the fashion world saw him win the MEGA Magazine Young Designer of the

Philippines Award in 1994; a competition judged by key fashion players including Josie Natori. In

2002, Furne opened his first boutique, Amato, meaning “beloved,” in Dubai to provide his elite

clientele with an unrivaled array of hand-stitched designs and intricately detailed creations. Known

for his creative flair, Furne’s design credentials soon saw him inundated with offers for his work.

F

Natori saw Furne’s talent and offered him an apprenticeship at his New York design house. It was here that Furne was able to further explore and indulge his passion for fashion. In the same year, Furne also won the first prize at Japan’s Women’s Wear Awards and just three years later he went on went on to become a finalist at Manila’s Fashion Designer Awards.

fter following the rise of the Amato success, in 2007, Swarovski commissioned Furne to design a glittering bridal dress which featured in their limited edition book, Unbridled.

Furne’s collaboration with Swarovski did not end there, and he has since partnered with the brand to produce show-stopping collections for its Crystalized Swarovski Elements events.

In 2008 Furne’s imaginative creations caught the eye of the European fashion elite at Germany’s Next Top Model and he was invited to be a special guest designer in the shows

season finale with supermodel Heidi Klum. The tremendous response to his collections resulted in a reprise of this role for the following three years, a move which rocketed

Furne One and Amato Couture onto the international fashion centre stage.

regular on the catwalk at international fashion weeks including London, Dubai, Los Angeles and Miami. Celebrities who can be seen wearing Furne’s creations include supermodel Heidi Klum, singing sensations Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Nicole Scherzinger, Amber Rose and Nicki Minaj.

When asked about the keys to his success, Furne shares that it’s about diligence. “Hard work and diligence. But, you know, there are so many talented designers everywhere so I think you also need a little luck. Being in the right place at the right time. I was lucky.” he said with a smile.
