editor’s note

It’s Spring Already?

Spring 2010

BC_Spring2010_virtual.indd 6

Aside from the country’s economy, one thing that is noticeably screwed up lately is the weather. Spring didn’t seem to know when to set in. The trees in L.A. have just shed off their leaves (some even remained green throughout the winter), and now they have to fast-forward their regrowth and blossom for mankind’s satisfaction. Now if only we could say that about the financial state of the U.S., where we can all just wake up from this state of helplessness and party like it was 2007 (or whenever the words, “Madoff” and “foreclosures” weren’t so eminent).

In the meantime, while we so patiently wait for the burgeoning of new employment and hope, we made sure to feature news and personalities that may help you pass the time, and give you fresh and exciting ideas for your valued purchases.

Speaking of second winds, our inimitable cover model, Kimora Lee Simmons, looks like she is on one.

With her happy and quiet marriage to actor Djimon Hounsou (who visited our shoot and rode out in a traffic-stopping Bentley), and a new baby in tow, the mogul seems unstoppable. But while the couple is reportedly having fun practicing on adding to their tight-knit family, Kimora is on a high, still as the head of Baby Phat, and with the new season of her reality TV show. Much has been said about the towering beauty, mostly about her diva persona, but I was witness to how charismatic Kimora can be (after you get over your shell shock, of course), that it makes you wish you could be BFF’s—or have her remember your name at least. If now is the time to be reminded of the American Dream, then she should be our poster girl: from a multirace family in a predominantly ‘white’ part of the U.S., she grew 5’10” tall at a very young age, which landed her a dream modeling gig (more on that in our cover story).

Kimora later on marries one of hip-hop’s masters, bears

two lovely daughters, gets divorced with said husband, then later finds and marries her soulmate, and now has a healthy, beautiful son with him. It is rare to see her let her hair down and just have a candid, easygoing time with the kids in front of the camera, so I sincerely hope you enjoy our feature. I don’t really recall seeing her making silly faces in a photo shoot before this.

Shirly Brener is gifted with a chameleon-like ability to blend into any film role. You’ll be surprised to learn about her screen credits, and how she is becoming a force to reckon with in Hollywood—both as an actress and producer. What I am most proud to note though is her closeness with her daughter, Mila.

You will rarely spot one without the other, which is very encouraging for many career women, especially those in the entertainment industry.

Meeno Peluce’s name may be familiar, also if you’ve been reading BC for some time. We are ecstatic this time to show off another facet to the artist, and are honored to be part of the career of one of the most creative photographers of our time. His eye is impeccable, and the way he speaks about his family through his visuals is more than words can say.

I am excited to move forward to a blessed and inspired 2010 with you all. See you at the playgrounds.

e’ve always been proponents of coconuts because of their unparalleled benefits for our health and well-being. its scarcity in western countries has probably

been the reason why cocos receive flak. it has been proven beneficial in treating asthma, baldness, bronchitis, bruises, burns, constipation, cough, dropsy, dysentery, earache, gingivitis, gonorrhea, irregular or painful menstruation, jaundice, kidney stones, lice, malnutrition, nausea, rash, scabies, scurvy, skin infections, sore throat, swelling, syphilis, toothache, tuberculosis,

tumors, typhoid, ulcers, weakness, and wounds. it helps cure influenza, breast, colon and other cancers, herpes, measles, hepatitis C, aidS, ulcers, throat infections, urinary tract infections, gum disease and cavities, pneumonia, and gonorrhea, and the long list goes on. if you don’t have access to frozen young coconuts that you can find in asian supermarkets, the next best thing would be coconut beverages in Tetra paks, which can now be found in most groceries.

A youthful, fruity fragrance that tells the story of an early morning visit to the Covent Garden Flower Market, a sweetly-scented sanctuary nestled in the heart of London.

Did you know? Lemons act as a blood purifier, and significantly improves the body’s ability to get rid of toxins. It also fights infections, which is why when you are coming down with the flu or a cold, you are normally told to fix a cup of warm lemon juice.

cecilia cassini at the age of 10, this talented and lovely designer is already being recruited at the FidM. Her first trunk show sold out within moments of opening, including celebrities like denise richards and Candace Cameron Bure loving her creations

How old were you when the fashion bug bit?

Actually, I know I was born—yes born—with the fashion bug. So I guess that makes me a minute old!

If you were to choose between designing couture with a limited audience, or designing RTW for a mass audience, what would you prefer?

Couture or mass, I want everyone happy and wearing my designs!

Whose career success do you emulate?

I am like Coco Chanel. I am following my dreams, I even have the same initials as her—CC. Any relation to the designer, Oleg Cassini?

What, and who, inspires you?

Everything around me! Of course, fashion magazines and shows.

Designers like Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Dianne Von Furstenburg, and brands like Louis Vuitton and Forever XXI.

Not that my parents know of.

What role did your parents play in pursuing your dreams?

Well, my parents let me! They let me cut dresses, they always encouraged my love for fashion, gave me art and sewing lessons at the beginning. They let me be creative and try new things, and they respect my ideas and opinions, even though I am just 10.

Apart from becoming a fashion designer, is there anything else you’d like to be?

I only want to be a fashion designer—of course, I will be a mom, too.

And I want to be happy.

We read that you were, “…moved by the story of a young woman who received a full scholarship to the FIDM in Los Angeles, but was homeless and did not have a sewing machine to practice on,” and you gave her your own machine. What prompted this generosity?

I was at this charity event for Hollywood arts and this girl, Marie, told her story. As I stood there with my mom, I felt sad for her. I wanted to help her. I couldn’t believe how lucky I was to already have my own sewing machine even though I was so young. I told my mom that I wanted to give her my machine and she said “OK,” and that was it. I wanted to be nice and help her.

Citing Karl Lagerfeld as one of her design icons, Cassini has already graced the front page of the Los Angeles Daily News, and has been invited to the CBS nightly news. Her “green-minded” clothing line reuses and repurposes fabrics to create new “one-of-a-kind masterpieces” for her excited admirers.

How do you like school?

I actually like school! I like to learn new things. But I am always happy to go home to design and sew new dresses.

available at better boutiques & online www.pincpremium.com

Do you still like to hang out with kids your age? What do you do together?

I like to hang out with my friends and do girly things. I like to play tennis, go shopping.

I like to be silly, and I love going out to get ice cream.

Do your friends ask you to whip up clothes for them?

My friends don’t really ask me because I think they are shy to, but whenever a friend says they like something, I am happy to give it to them.

What do you think when people say that you are a “fashion prodigy?”

I don’t really know what to think. I know it is something good but I don’t really understand it. It sounds good.

If you could raid someone’s closet, whose would it be?

Anyone’s with a huge walk-in closet, with tons of gorgeous dresses and shoes in my size! bc

jayneoni moore new york fashion show Most designer launches can’t normally boast of a fashion show attended by Tinseltown’s respected personalities. It can be done though with a lot of hardwork, credibility, and talent, as proven by style and celebrity event expert Jayneoni Moore, with the inception of her sophisticated and timeless children’s clothing line for the ‘playground set’ called “Jayneoni Moore neW yorK.” After a pre-runway show headlined by the line, Saurette, Moore’s models (including daughter, Sophie Plum), strutted down the catwalk, proudly donning the designer’s first collection. Inspired by the versatility and love of NYC’s fashion, fused with the style of her Sophie, it has already been spotted on Nahla Aubry and Honor Warren.

Cybex sOlutiOn x-fix apart from its amazing stroller line, regal lager is excited to bring CyBex car seats into U.S. shores, what with its lightweight, easy-to-use iSoFiX function, and revolutionary l.S.p.

System (linear/Side-impact/protection)—which systematically reduces the momentum should there be a side impact collision. additionally, the 3-position headrest shifts the balance point of the child’s head slightly back, and keeps it from leaving the safety zone when the child is asleep. This ensures maximum comfort and safety for your most precious passenger. for other Cybex products and strollers, cybex-online.com or regallager.com

earlybirDs Established after the 10-week premature birth of her son, Jackson, in 2002 (who was born at 1.276 kgs.), founder lynda day found it difficult to find clothing that would fit her tiny darling for the first couple of months.

The earLyBirDs organics unisex collection is made from 100% certified organic cotton, free from harmful chemicals, and guarantees softness and safety for baby’s fragile skin. earlybirdsbabywear.com

meeno peluce Fresh eggs, everyday. We have Araucanas that lay blue eggs, and a tiny, broody Silky who sits on all of them.

Skyfarm, resurrected from a condemned shell of a Grande Dame of an old house.

Off to Cuba!

Cutting millet for the cockatiels.

And the fabulous abstract painting is an original 1960’s Robert Peluce, Meeno’s uncle who had a retrospective at the Hammer last February.

I

t would be simple to describe this artist as an ace lensman, because one look at his portfolio would tell you that he most categorically is.

Meeno Peluce has immortalized more notable celebrities (including Demi Moore, Jack Black, Jeremy Piven, Gary Oldman, Jason Lee), musicians (Rihanna, Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga, Diddy, Chris Cornell, etc.), and even politicians (his town’s Mayor Villaraigosa), than a grouping of photographers. With a quick online search you’ll find out that he was also a child star with impressive screen credits that list Starsky and Hutch, Diff’rent Strokes, The Incredible Hulk, Happy Days, The A-Team, and Punky Brewster (which coincidentally starred younger sister, Soleil Moon Frye).

Mom’s always ready to sew a costume. A ‘Golden Drop of Sun’ for the “Sound of Music” Sing-A-Long.

We sacrificed the lawn.

We brought the girls to Morocco.

Bindi was 5 1/2, and Mette was 1 1/2.

Maison Chameaux is an eco-boutique hotel situated in a small Bedouian village above Essouaria. They designed special saddles that allow small children to ride the Sudanese racing camels.

A Dutch door lets the garden in but keeps our three dogs out.

Wee Mette, when told about Sarah Palin, immediately came up with a bright idea—Halloween costume!

Breastfeeding on the go!

The bed is constructed of wood salvaged from an Indonesian temple.

The blanket was bought on a family trip to Morocco. It’s a Bedouin wedding shawl. The pig is by Barbara Sansoni, made entirely of eco-materials and dye in Sri-Lanka.

These come from a series of projects that Ilse and I have done with our Chicks.

Ilse does the styling and art direction, I do the witnessing and the Chicks are more than happy to play dress up.

fter watching a heartbreaking segment on CNN with Soledad O’Brien filming from a local orphanage in Haiti, which she described as a scene so tragic that young babies are dying from dehydration because they have no baby formula, clean water, nor diapers—designer Jayneoni Moore immediately called on her friends and family to be part of an emergency diaper and formula drive which she themed, “Playdate for Haiti” held at The Playroom in Sherman Oaks, CA. Her plea was heeded without hesitation, and it was uplifting to witness moms and children donate an afternoon to diligently buy, deliver, pack, and sort thousands of dollars worth of milk, nappies, clothing, blankets, shoes, and toys for the children in dire need. It is a comforting thought that even if people are busy with their own lives and families, there are still those who are willing to lend their hands and hearts for a cause.
