TAKING A STAND AND SETTING STANDARDS, MY SISTER’S CLOSET LAUNCHES #H8PLSTC CAMPAIGN (PHOENIX) If society does nothing to change the amount of plastic consumption, by 2050, the oceans will contain more plastic than marine life by weight according to plastic pollution coallition; My Sister’s Closet is saying “no more” with its #H8PLSTC campaign, to start a trend for local businesses to eliminate all use of plastic.

Plastic is a substance the earth cannot digest and not only does it affect our environment and the animals in it, but also our health. Studies show that chemicals from plastic may be linked to birth defects, diabetes, cancer and infertility.

Ways that My Sister’s Closet has joined the fight against the plastic pollution epidemic include: replacing all plastic bags with paper bags which cost the store $20,000 more a year, installing water filtration systems in every one of their shopping centers for employees to fill up their reusable/recyclable cups costing $3,000 per unit, and using steel gaylords to store donations instead of plastic bags.

MY SISTER’S CLOSET SEEKS TO SET EXAMPLE FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES WITH ANTIPLASTIC CAMPAIGN

BY MY SISTER’S CLOSET “The extra expenses to get rid of plastic in all of our stores is well worth it,” said CEO and founder, Ann Siner. “We want businesses to become aware just how bad plastic is for our planet, and this is why we are choosing to lead by example, to demonstrate the changes that can be made to make a difference.”

With over 500 million plastic straws being used per day, My Sister’s Closet is challenging all of their employees to use no plastic straws for the duration of this campaign. Bringing single use plastic water bottles to work is already banned, and employees make that pledge when they are first hired.

Taking it a step further, the company is challenging all local businesses to partake in the campaign by eliminating the use of plastic, and to ultimately stop contributing to the plastic pollution problem.

To date, only three towns in the U.S. have banned the sale of single use plastic bottles, a trend that My Sister’s Closet hopes our community can shadow.

"Chanel is above all a style. Fashion passes, style remains." - Gabrielle Chanel.

CHANEL’S SS18 SEQUIN FLAP BAG

Chanel Camera Case

gaB yoB lenahC

Chanel S.A. is a French, privately held company owned

by Alain Wertheimer and Gérard Wertheimer, grandsons of Pierre Wertheimer, who was an early business partner of the couturière Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel.

I know many of you are massive fans of the Chanel Flap Bag. You’ve probably amassed quite a collection yourself, in various quilting styles, sizes, colours, leathers and/or exotic skins. Personally, though, I’ve never really been part of the “Flap Bag Gang”. Haha, okay, I totally just made that up because it rhymed. But, in all honesty, yes, it’s a timeless piece to have in your closet, but it’s just really not my style – the Boy, on the other hand, is more me…

Today, though, and also because it’s Monday, I thought I’d start the week off with something sparkly, and yes, it’s a Flap Bag — one that I actually like. It isn’t often that I find myself gravitating towards one of these, but hey, there’s always a first time, innit? Perhaps it’s the combination of the pink, almost peachy shade of beige, and grey pastels with the clear sequins that give it that brilliant sheen. Well, whatever it is, this Flap Bag from the Spring/Summer 18 collection caught my eye, and my heart.

Some of you may be concerned that this is more appropriate for night because the bag is entirely covered in sequins, but would work just as well with jeans and a half-tucked tee. After all, there’s nothing like some daytime glamour to elevate your look. But, whether you’re wearing this for day or evening, you have to be super careful because the sequins may snag your clothing.

FENDI A Family Affair HOME MADE IN ITALY BITES FOR THIS SEASON

Established in 1925, the entrepreneurial house of Fendi credits its success to three main factors—creativity, technology, and craftsmanship (in the highest sense). These attributes come to life in Fendi's signature furs (completely transformed, shaped, redesigned, and reinterpreted by Fendi), and in innovative shoes and handbags that establish a new philosophy and define a style archetype.

If you adore ladylike bags, Fendi is the perfect brand for you. Popular fashion brand, built its name by expertly tooled leather, artisanproduced fashion and gold-dipped fur. ‘Bag Bugs’, ‘2Jours’, ‘Peekaboo’ quickly became must-haves in celebrity closets. Celebrities who rock Fendi bags: Kate Upton, Ke$ha, Cindy Crawford, Lily Allen.

BEAUTIFUL HERMÈS BAGS For the first time ever, Hermès has made a handbag available for purchase online! At this point you’re probably going “whaaaat?! For reals??” Yep, I kid you not, this is truly a groundbreaking move from the Maison indeed, where the sale of bags are protected and so scarce that you don’t even get to see them up close in the boutiques most of the time.

Sure, you’d get to see them in store, get all excited thinking you’ve lucked out, and then you see those words “For Display Only”. But this all comes to an end with this 2002 Bag, which debuted as part of their Resort 2018 collection.

Although structurally similar in style and shape to the iconic Constance, the 2002 comes with a different H logo clasp, which is rounded off, and more modern, if you will. For those of you who’ve had trouble getting your hands on a Constance, I guess this would also make the cut, given their similarities on the exterior.

Perhaps one of the significant differences between this and the Constance is the way the strap is attached to the bag: for this, each end of the strap is attached to the hardware on top of the bag, while for the latter, it’s looped through the hardware atop the flap. The adjustable strap also allows for crossbody wear, should you prefer having your hands free.

While both have an accordion-style side-profile with 2 main compartments, the 2002 has an additional interior zippered pocket.

HERMES CONSTANCE 24 ANEMONE DOUBLE GUSSETRARE PALLADIUM

The 2002 bag comes in 2 sizes, in Evercolor calfskin: 20, and 26 cm. The 20cm comes in three colours, Magnolia (Pink), Asphalte Gris, and Bleu Brighton, while the larger 26cm size comes only in Rouge Cassaque, and Asphalte Gris. Retailing online at ($9,200) which means it’s almost the same price as the Constance Mini, and $10,200 for the larger version.

What I really love about this bag is the more modern “H” clasp detail, oh and my preferred colour would definitely have to be what else, other than Magnolia? heh. But, I hope the H fairies would make this 2002 bag available in Rose Pourpre or Anemone – 2 of my fave colours. Colour talk aside, could this be H’s way of “democratisation” and making their bags more accessible?

Well, I guess the argument could go both ways. Some of you might lament the fact that this is a surefire way of eventually diluting exclusivity, but as for me, I’m really loving the idea of Hermès making their bag available for online purchase.

What about you…?

It is often shaped and molded by the perception of others. They classify and categorize, finding banal superlatives to define our personalities. These prescribed conditions manifest into our character and well-being, slowly eroding our wonder for the world.

We thus become a product of their intentions rather than a producer of our own.

Consumed by the daily rigmarole, seemingly few of us have the opportunity or will to explore our inner mechanics. We find ourselves consumed by a cultural environment intent on stripping us of our humanity. Ubikwist implores its readers to recognize this degradation of the self and distinguish their true position within this societal context. We restore vitality by recognizing that we are not static but ever-evolving, growing with each new circumstance and challenge.

We refuse to be a type, class, or category. Introspection should not be a lifestyle afforded only to the privileged but accessible and attainable for all. It is imperative that we define the terms of how we are represented in this world.

This is not a denial of any social set that we have an affinity to but rather a reaffirmation of how we function within that group.

Characterizing our own attributes gives us authority over how we can contribute to the greater good. Thus go forth and IDENTITY yourself.

I would personally like to thank all who were involved in this issue.

No rewards were explicitly promised to each contributor, other than the satisfaction of having a platform to exhibit one’s craft and share it with others. It is this unconditional vision that binds us together. Enjoy your voyage onto an abundance of talent.

THE WU FACTOR

Jason Wu Celebrates 10th Anniversary Midnight Supper at St. Regis in New York

In several ways, Jason Wu's story reads back to front.

The New York-based designer is best known, of course, for exploding onto the global fashion scene at age 26 by dressing Mrs Michelle Obama before working his way out from the White House towards dressing regular folks.

And now, the 35-year-old, having more or less conquered the Western world, wants to work his way back to the continent of his birth and discover Asia - or rather, allow Asia to discover him.

Unquestionably one of his generation’s most talented fashion designers, Jason Wu earned his breakthrough after Michelle Obama wore a Wu design to a 2009 Presidential Inaugural Ball.

On a constant journey of reinvention, Jason Wu has partnered with St. Regis since 2011. His bold and original aesthetics simultaneously modern, timeless and glamorous, offering a perfectly complement to The St. Regis.

“THE WOMAN UNDERNEATH THE DRESS IS WHAT BRINGS FASHION TO LIFE.” JASON WU The second floor of the St. Regis was lit by candlelight and sparkling chandeliers. Lush palm plants, vines, and Saint-Louis crystal glassware cast shadows on the hotel’s gilded walls. Guests dressed in black tie included Gustavo Rangel, Emily Ratajkowski, Diane Kruger, Amber Valletta, Constance Jablonski, Sofía Sanchez de Betak, Ludivine Poiblanc, Teddy Charles, Linda Fargo and Bjorn Wallander, Roopal Patel, Elizabeth & Andreas von der Goltz, Cristina Ehrlich, Lisa Holladay, and Senih Geray, and enjoyed a white-glove served dinner of caviar, lobster, truffles, and filet.

The St. Regis New York was honored to celebrate Jason Wu’s 10th anniversary show, which took place on the same runway where he debuted his Ready-to-Wear collection in 2009. Jason Wu’s design aesthetic is a perfect balance of today’s woman, depicting her strength, beauty and femininity. This unique and sensible style has gained popularity amongst dignitaries, fashion icons, celebrities and other notable individuals.

As one of today’s most influential designers of glamorous collections reflecting a timeless beauty, Jason Wu was invited by St. Regis to go to Shanghai to take part in the grand opening festivities of the new St. Regis Shanghai Jingan in China.

1 ULTRA VIOLET: GET THE LOOK WITH ERICK GERSON

BY ERICK GERSON | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROLAND CAPULET | TAVIA HINTON

RENOWNED MAKEUP ARTIST ERICK GERSON SHARES HIS TIPSON HOW TO INFUSE A TOUCH OF ADVENTURE INTO YOUR MAKEUP ROUTINE IN FIVE SIMPLE STEPS.

The Pantone color of 2018 is Ultra Violet, which looks perfect on every skin tone and with every eye color. If you prefer neutrals, Ultra Violet is a great color to start experimenting with. Follow these steps to recreate this look.

1. After applying your moisturizer, add a hint of luminosity on your skin by mixing a few drops of liquid skin enhancer highlighter. A few drops is enough to give your skin the perfect glow.

2. Use eyeliner pencil of the color of your choice.

Draw a line on top of your eyelashes, making sure it is slightly thicker toward the outer corner of the eye. Smudge with a Q-tip or small makeup brush, always smudging and blending out and up. Add a couple of coats of mascara on the top and bottom lashes.

3

4 ERICK GERSON PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP ARTIST 3.Cream blushes look lovely on everyone, young or old, and add a healthy, natural look to the skin.

Add a couple of dabs on the apples of your cheeks and blend out toward the top of your ear.

4.Creme based products are a great place to start with contouring since they blend easily.

Using a contouring and highlighting stick, apply to the contours of your face as shown in the picture.

Then, blend toward your hairline sing a sponge or synthetic brush. To highlight, use the other side of the highlighting stick to apply a little bit under your eye. This will brighten up your eyes and face.

5. Apply a bold, Ultra Violet lipstick by starting in the center of the lip and working to the outer corners of the mouth so you can create even lines on both sides of your mouth. Use a lip pencil to trace the lip line better or if your lipstick tends to bleed.

Now that I have shown you how to apply some of the trends you see today, apply it to a regular makeup routine that fits your style. Dare to venture and have fun with your makeup!

STYLISH REPORT ALEXA CHUNG

“A LOT OF MY BEST OUTFITS HAVE COME OUT OF A SOLUTION OF HAVING TO WEAR AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE ITEMS, AND HOW TO MAKE THAT ONE BAD THING LOOK ALRIGHT." ALEXA CHUNG You would really like Alexa Chung. She’s famous for having loads of celebrity mates and an It hairstyle and wearing quirky clothes, which perhaps doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, but you would. The celebrity mates and the hair and the quirky clothes are all part of her, but she is also the kind of woman who, when she puts on a black leather minidress that shows ridiculously long, slender legs, starts pointing out to me and the other women around her on Guardian Weekend’s shoot how dry and hairy those legs are. (They’re not, but still.)

When she tells a funny story about the time she and Pixie Geldof got locked out on a smoking terrace at a party and Taylor Swift rescued them, she somehow makes herself the butt of the joke: the loser who wasn’t famous enough for the bouncers to bother rescuing. She totally gets that us normals find the Alexa Chungs of the world a bit annoying, and goes out of her way not to be.

This week, Alexa Chung the person became Alexachung the all-one-word fashion brand, as the first collection from her new label goes on sale.

Chung has ruled best dressed lists for a decade, taking home the British fashion award for style icon three years in a row. She has a Mulberry handbag named after her, which is pretty much the fashion industry equivalent of an OBE. Having experimented with monetising her best-dressed status via collaborations for fashion brands Madewell, AG Jeans and Marks & Spencer, Alexachung is the next logical step.

VANS UNVEILS COLLECTION DEDICATED TO MICKEY MOUSE’S 90TH ANNIVERSARY

WRITTEN CHIC DAILY MAGAZINE EDITORIAL STAFF

Vans comes together with Disney to deliver a collection celebrating the true original, Mickey Mouse. To commemorate the 90th anniversary of Disney’s beloved character, Vans designers bring decades of iconic Mickey Mouse imagery to an extended offering of footwear, apparel and accessories available October 5. The collection is founded on 11 designs that capture Mickey Mouse’s spirit and evolution spanning from his introduction in the late 1920’s to present day.

To commemorate Mickey Mouse’s film debut in 1928, the Sk8-Hi has been remastered to showcase iconic scenes from the black and white silent film, Plane Crazy. Each quarter panel features a film scene that is captured under a patent material and is finished with a 3-D emblem on the heels.

Vans launches 90th anniversary Mickey Mouse collection

The 1940’s introduction of the animated film Fantasia brought Mickey Mouse’s mischievous persona to light as “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”. Taking inspiration from the Sorcerer’s hat, the Sk8-Hi is transformed to include velvet quarter panels adorned with celestial moon and star embroidery, which is complimented by blue suede panels and contrast yellow stitching.

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice inspired Sk8-Hi is finished with a black sole, star printed laces and a Sorcerer’s Apprentice emblem on the heel. To compliment the collection a Fantasiathemed tee and Old Skool II Backpack feature a far out, tie-dye print and Mickey Mouse as the Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

Disney fans can channel their inner Mouseketeer in an Old Skool model that is dedicated to the Mickey Mouse Club.

Utilizing suede and cotton canvas materials, the Old Skool silhouette features a red Sidestripe and club logo sewn on the tongue.

by PHILIPPA MORGAN

Razan Alazzouni Spring 2018.

Courtesy of Razan Alazzouni “MY CORE GOAL AS A DESIGNER IS TO EMPOWER WOMEN AND INCREASE THEIR CONFIDENCE THROUGH SELFIMAGE.” - RAZAN ALAZZOUNI

Saudi designer Razan Alazzouni uses her passion for sculpture and art to celebrate the female form. With a penchant for silks, freeflowing fabrics, and decorous embroidery, the results may be delicate but they are also come with a sense of boldness, a strength that no doubt stems from the designer’s determination to build a meaningful style signature of her own.

Here, Alazzouni reveals her Spring 2018 look book and talks to team Vogue.me about the fusion of elements behind her fashion house.

PM:Which aspect of Arab culture are you most proud of?

“I am proud of everything in my culture, but I am fascinated by our Arabic language. Its depth and elegance is unmeasurable.”

PM:How do you show your Saudi heritage in your designs?

“My designs are a part of myself and my heritage is as well. My clothing reflect the modern Saudi woman and how she leads her life."

INUOZZALA NAZAR

PM:Describe the Spring 2018 collection.

“The Spring 2018 collection is more dynamic than past collections. The beading stands out as gardens of flowers emerge from the clothing. As always, it is feminine and elegant with a twist of modernist in the gold and silver shine.”

PM:What’s your biggest achievement so far?

“My biggest achievement would be gaining recognition with various enterprises worldwide.”

PM:You have been always passionate about the arts. In what way does this show in your designs?

“Art is all about the details. My designs are very intricate and show a lot of layering and thought in the details. The elaborate beading on most of the pieces are a reflection of that.”

PM:Name one artist who inspires you.

“Edgar Degas. I love his ballerinas and their elegan form while still and in movement.”

PM:Name two Arab women who you would like to dress.

“Amal Clooney and Queen Rania.”

PM:At work you mostly listen to…

“Fairouz. Her voice is clear and uplifting, and her music gives me energy and is not over powering at the same time.”

Fabulous clothing for women who aren’t afraid to have fun.

INUOZZALA NAZAR

PM:Describe your favorite spot in your studio.

“The store room where I delve between all the different fabric and textures. I experiment with the beads and accessories looking for inspiration.”

PM:Your go-to spot for inspiration?

"Italy. It’s the last word in ART, nature and inspiration."

PM:What is your core goal as a designer?

“My core goal as a designer is to empower women and increase their confidence through selfimage.”

TOP 4 FASHION AWARDS STORY SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA PHOTOS BY: CHICAGOMOD

Neiman Marcus Fashion Award The Neiman Marcus Award for Distinguished Service in the Field of Fashion was a yearly award created in 1938

by Carrie Marcus Neiman and Stanley Marcus. Unlike the Coty Award, it was not limited to American-based fashion designers, Recipients of the Neiman Marcus Awards include couturiers, non-American-based designers, journalists, manufacturers, and celebrities and style icons who had had a significant personal influence upon fashion such as Grace Kelly and Grace Mirabella.

The award was typically presented to multiple recipients each year, rather than to a single individual, although Adrian was the sole winner in 1943, a feat repeated in 1957 by Coco Chanel.From 1969 the awards became increasingly intermittent, with ceremonies held in 1973, 1979, 1980, 1984 and 1995, the last year in which the awards were presented. For the final ceremony, the founder, Stanley Marcus, received one of his own awards.

Oscar de la Renta

“OSCAR DE LA RENTA: HIS LEGENDARY WORLD OF STYLE” WhenAndré Leon Talley began curating “Oscar de la Renta: His Legendary World of Style,” which opens Thursday in Savannah, Georgia, at the Savannah College of Art and Design, he says he went into the wardrobes of many of the eminent women who have become his friends over the decades—and he doesn’t mean that metaphorically. “I was literally inside their closets,” he laughs.

The exhibit began to take shape in Talley’s imagination shortly after de la Renta’s passing in October—what better way to honor that genius designer, Talley’s dear friend for many years, than by mounting the first posthumous presentation of his work? “It’s not a retrospective,” Talley explains. “Everything has been selected from my own memory, my moments.”

Nor is this a mere sterile recitation of ensembles. Talley remembers almost every client wearing these clothes. Loyal de la Renta aficionado Mrs. Mercedes T. Bass offered him fully five wardrobe trunks for the show; Catie Marron laid her collection out on her bed for Talley’s delectation. There are contributions from two former First Ladies, Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton.

One golden dress was worn by both Nicole Kidman and Michael Bloomberg’s partner, Diana Taylor. Talley says it looked wonderful on each woman, “even though they are a generation apart. These clothes say to me, Oscar can dress everyone from a young girl to a grand lady.”

Save for a pair of striped evening pajamas belonging to Annette de la Renta, the designer’s wife and muse, there are no trousers in the show—this is a glorious review of dresses, day and evening. One spectacular area is devoted to weddings: the designer’s stepdaughter **Eliza Bolen’**s dress and veil, worn at her June 1998 nuptials; **Miranda Brooks’**s gown, inspired by **Sofia Coppola’**s Marie Antoinette but topped with a Spanish equestrian hat; the dress of Elizabeth Cordry, which took 1,350 hours to create and involves three layers of French laces.

But lest you think that only ladies exuding a certain gravitas are comfy in de la Renta, please be aware that Taylor Swift is also a big fan, donning a vast pink confection to the Met Gala last year.

“Oscar came from the couture world, so you are going to get the bow, the train!” Talley smiles. “He always wanted the appropriate look, a sense of the occasion. He would ask himself, ‘Is it beautiful? Will they wear it? Is it elegant?’

"THE GREAT THING ABOUT FASHION IS THAT IT ALWAYS LOOKS FORWARD." Oscar de la Renta

His Legendary World of Style traces the life and legacy of fashion luminary Oscar de la Renta.

Andre Leon Talley recounts de la Renta's journey through nearly 70 iconic dresses, mainly made for private clients, accompanied by fascinating stories of the exquisite craftsmanship and the legendary friends who brought each gown to life.

CHIC DAILY MAGAZINE ADVERTISE DESIGNERS

WHO ARE LEANING INTO THE FUTURE WITH DYNAMIC FASHION THAT SPEAKS OF FUN AND FREEDOM

The British Fashion Council is delighted to announce that acclaimed British designer, Molly Goddard, winner of the 2018 BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund, has been commissioned to design this season’s London Fashion Week Festival limited edition tote bag.

Molly Goddard specialises in traditional hand-craft techniques such as hand pleating, smocking and crocheting. Her work touches upon themes of special occasions, nostalgia and coming of age, often taking inspiration from party dressing and Sunday best. The techniques that she utilises serve to create clothes that are both delicate and fragile, but the character she designs for conflicts with the beauty of her technique, bringing a clumsy and charming awkwardness to her silhouettes and fabric combinations.

This season London Fashion Week Festival consumers will get a unique piece of backstage history with the tote bag. Molly Goddard said: “This is the print we used for our last show's crew T-shirts. They are always really special as they celebrate all the work everyone puts into the show and we wanted to share this!”

Caroline Rush CBE, Chief Executive of the British Fashion Council said: “Molly’s designs perfectly capture the creativity and energy of London Fashion Week Festival. We were delighted to work with Molly this season on this one-off collector’s tote and I look forward to seeing the bags used throughout London and further afield.” Molly Goddard presented her first collection at London Fashion Week in 2014. Since then she been highly commended for the presentation of her work and now-signature tulle dresses.

Goddard was awarded NEWGEN sponsorship from 2015-2018, the BFC‘s internationally-celebrated talent identification scheme, as well as the British Emerging Talent Award at the 2016 Fashion Awards in partnership with Swarovski. Other accolades include the Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year 2017 and finalist in the 2017 LVMH prize.

London Fashion Week Festival is the definitive fashion experience. The event invites consumers to experience the atmosphere of London Fashion Week, hosting an unparalleled line-up of catwalk shows, talks, lifestyle experiences and curated shopping galleries from over 150 international and British brands including, Bobby Abley, Georgia Hardinge, Jamie Wei Huang, Lily and Lionel, Linda Farrow, Minki, Never Fully Dressed and Serotonin Vintage.

KYM ELLERY: FASHION DESIGNER

1 EPONYMOUS FASHION LABEL, 2 CITIES TO CALL HOME, 7 ONSCHEDULE PRESENTATIONS AT PARIS FASHION WEEK, 5 MINUTES TO GET READY. From her chic Parisian abode in the trendy neighborhood of Le Marais, it’s difficult to imagine that fashion designer Kym Ellery grew up among the bright red dirt of Karratha, the remote Western Australian town 1500 kilometers north of Perth. Ellery’s childhood was spent exploring her creativity with her artist mother away from the “whirring distractions of TV.” With only blind ambition, a suitcase and a certain je ne sais quoi, she moved to Sydney at age 20, and landed in the fashion department at indie RUSSH Magazine. It was a move that saw her innate love of design flourish and, soon after, her eponymous label born. "RUSSH was a great education on the industry and what other brands were available in the market place,” she says.

“I identified a gap in the Australian market for a new designer brand and Ellery was conceived.” It wasn’t long before Ellery’s strong, androgynous silhouettes were garnering international attention, and in 2015, the designer was welcomed onto the official Paris Fashion Week schedule (she was the second Australian—following Collette Dinnigan—to do so.)

Following in her label’s footsteps, Ellery moved to the City Of Light, and is now planning to show her first collection at Paris Couture Fashion Week early next year. Between planning her debut couture collection and apéro hour, she invited The MECCA Memo into her apartment to chat style, (extreme) flares and her French-girl inspired beauty routine.

" PARIS IS JUST SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING TO ME. I LOVE WALKING AND DISCOVERING NEW THINGS DAILY. I ALSO LOVE THE RITUAL OF APÉRO; WINE AND BURRATA AT 7PM, WHAT COULD BE BETTER! " - KYM ELLERY

TMM: What inspired you to make the leap from Perth to Sydney and then from fashion magazines to fashion designer?

KE: “From a very young age I knew I wanted to make clothes. I recall one day chatting with my friend Lara on the school bus about our future professional ambitions. I announced that I wanted to be a fashion designer. Lara asked me how I planned on making this happen. I replied, ‘the same way a doctor becomes a doctor’. In hindsight, I guess my innate blind ambition was a necessary quality!”

You have A-list fans including Rihanna and Emma Watson—how important is the celebrity following?

“It is our goal to empower cerebral women through fashion. We opt for dressing women of substance and are lucky that the celebrity following that we have garnered reflects the brands ethos.”

How did you learn the dos and don’ts of the fashion industry?

“By listening, observing and trying my very best to not make the same mistakes twice.”

What do you love most about French life?

“Paris is just so aesthetically pleasing to me. I love walking and discovering new things daily. I also love the ritual of apéro; wine and burrata at 7pm, what could be better!"

Describe your signature style?

“Flares, a tailored man-style jacket or coat, T-shirt and a sensible, yet significant shoe for walking the streets of Paris.”

What does success mean to you?

“Setting your sights high and then working hard to achieve that vision.”

What inspired you to move to Paris?

“I have always been somewhat of a Francophile at heart and knew the brand’s future was always in Paris. In the end the decision was made in the best interests of Ellery.”

What are your favourite skin-care products?

“LA MER The Concentrate, it’s incredibly hydrating and works miracles on my skin.

Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil, because it works while I sleep. Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream, really refreshes the eye area particularly after late nights and long-haul flights, and my secret-weapon: the NuFace Trinity Device.”

What’s the biggest beauty mistake you’ve made?

“Not being sun-smart from a young age.”

When it comes to makeup are you a wakeup-and-go girl or do you get glammed up?

“Wake-up and go! I wish I had the time to be glam!”

Style heroine?

“Jane Birkin, Tilda Swinton and Chloe Sevigny, in equal parts. They’re so unique and strong in their personal styles, each embodying intelligence and independence —which resonates with me."

How different is French-girl beauty to Australian beauty?

“French women are very natural when it comes to their approach to beauty. They place huge emphasis on hair and skin care, and are lighter with their makeup application.”

What has been the highlight of your career thus far?

“Being accepted by the Chambre Syndicale to show our collections on the Official Paris Fashion Week calendar in 2014 was a real pinch-yourself moment—it will take something quite major to top this moment for me.”

Would you share with us any exciting projects you are working on?

“So many exciting projects! We are expanding our jewellery offering, we just launched our first logo T-shirt and we’re working on projecting a more sustainable message in the future. Watch this space.”

You can be granted one wish—what would it be?

“Time travel.”

TOKYO

WORLD'S BEST SHOPPING CITIES

BY CHIC DAILY MAGAZINE EDITORIAL STAFF Tokyo is not really just one city. Rather, it's like several cities connected by a really good train and subway system. Each of Tokyo's urban nodes is centered around a train station, which is in turn surrounded by a shopping district, usually containing several large department stores. Of course, each of these nodes has a different character. Here is a brief introduction to the best shopping districts in Tokyo and what to buy there.

From TOKYO to the world's largest mall in DUBAI, these are the best places to shop till you drop around the world.

Tokyo is one of the world's best shopping cities.

In Japan, the name Ginza is synonymous with old wealth, foreign luxury goods, powerful businessmen and well-heeled ladies who lunch.

Many of the original branches of Japan's best-known and most opulent department stores are located here.

Harumi-dori Street

Wedged between them, you'll find boutiques representing all the major Japanese and international luxury brands. And, needless to say, there are plenty of chic restaurants, cafes and bars scattered about to power the wealthy through their shopping sprees. This is an extremely pleasant area for strolling and shopping and I highly recommend a visit.

ARIZONA, THE NEW FRAGRANCE FOR WOMEN WITH A SENSE OF ADVENTURE L’ORÉAL AND PROENZA SCHOULER

Story By: L’ORÉAL Media News

ONE BRAND, TWO FACES, ONE STYLE

PROENZA SCHOULER IS BUILDING A GLOBAL EMPIRE Proenza Schouler has entered a new world with the launch of its début fragrance, Arizona.

Each brand has its story – and behind every story are the people. The Proenza Schouler story began in 2002 in New York with the meeting of two brilliant young designers: Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez. As students at the prestigious Parsons School of Design, the visionary pair held shared views on nonconformism and the ills of overconsumption. When they presented their senior thesis collection, they attracted the interest of a representative from Barneys, a specialist luxury retailer.

This marked the beginning of a dizzying rise, as McCollough and Hernandez went on to be championed

by Vogue, included in the Fashion Week calendar, and nominated for the CFDA Awards.

WHAT LED TO THE CREATION OF THE NEW SCENT, AND HOW DID THE UPSTART FASHION BRAND GET INTO PERFUME MAKING? FOR THE ANSWERS, WE GO BACK TO THE BEGINNINGS OF A NEW YORK SUCCESS STORY… The wheels were turning and showed no signs of stopping. This blistering start led to the creation of Proenza Schouler, named for the maiden names of the designers’ mothers. The nod to family tradition has certainly brought them luck as they have risen through the industry, forcing fashion to embrace their avant-garde urban style and pursuing a pair-based working method based around contrast and exchange.

THE MAKING OF ARIZONA “a timeless fragrance, something completely new and unexpected."

Like any artistic creation, Arizona was born from an emotion. The two designers had always been sensitive to fragrances and the memories they evoke. Jack McCollough mentions his mother, whose ritual before going out “always ended with a few sprays of Chanel No.5 on her neck and wrists.” Lazaro Hernandez strikes a lighter tone: “I was crazy about a girl called Liz in school. She always wore a sandalwood fragrance that was like nothing I had ever smelled before.” After making their mark on the runways of high fashion, in 2015 the pair decided to take the plunge and make their own fragrance.

"Women don’t dress for men, they dress for themselves."

LAZARO HERNANDEZ

WHAT LED TO THE CREATION OF THE NEW SCENT, AND HOW DID THE UPSTART FASHION BRAND GET INTO PERFUME MAKING? FOR THE ANSWERS, WE GO BACK TO THE BEGINNINGS OF A NEW YORK SUCCESS STORY… It was on returning from a road trip to the U.S. west coast that McCollough and Hernandez truly imagined what their future fragrance would be like. They knew it would be about travel, raw nature, self-discovery, and reconnecting with the world. They wanted to create a perfume for modern women who know how to get beyond the craziness of daily life to recharge and reconnect with the real world. As newcomers to perfume-making, they set up a collaboration with the L’Oréal Group, driven by their vision to create “a timeless fragrance, something completely new and unexpected.”

PROENZA SCHOULER IN A BOTTLE: THE SCENT OF ADVENTURE

A license agreement was signed in June 2015, opening up a new way forward in luxury fragrances. L’Oréal provided Proenza Schouler with a wealth of expertise to get the project started. “They (the L’Oréal Group) are incredibly knowledgeable about scents. They even had us work with a historian-sociologist who specializes in fragrances!” Proenza Schouler and L’Oréal worked together for two years on the fragrance, blending the creativity of a young brand with the experience of a global group.

Together, Proenza Schouler and L’Oréal successfully turned the designers’ creative vision into reality. The scent is floral and radiant, with a unique mineral signature and, at its core, a creamy iris accord and a white cactus flower accord.

The first has been used in perfume-making for centuries; the second has never been used before, but is now possible thanks to modern technology.

This is the contrast that McCollough and Hernandez love: old versus new, tradition versus innovation. Then there is the bottle. Inspired by the ravines and ridges that have defined the horizon of Arizona’s Sonoran Desert for millions of years, the bottle is a piece of art in itself, a perfect blend of man and nature. Finally there is the name itself: “Arizona” evokes that vast, mysterious landscape, a place to escape to that has inspired so many artists.

"It was a man’s world then, and still is in a lot of ways..."

The designers describe the Proenza Schouler woman as “a modern woman who is in charge of her own life. She’s an adventurer and eternally curious about the world we live in, which makes her culturally sophisticated and ready to try new things.” With their début fragrance Arizona, they are set to continue to inspire these women and add some new fans along the way!
