PARISIAN CHIC: WHERE TO GET IT & HOW TO WEAR IT. Written by Meghan Forest
W
hat is it about Parisian women? What is that je ne sais quois we so often hear of? It is simply an indescribable quality - or, a myriad qualities that a true parisienne seems to have that makes her that much more chic, sophisticated, cool & frankly, a bad ass. In “How to be a Parisian Wherever You Are” by Anne Berest, Audrey Diwan, Caroline de Maigret & Sophie Mas, the four authors teach us the secrets behind the art of being Parisian and how to obtain that ‘je ne sais quoi’. With a unique layout, one part images, one part jokes & snarky sarcasm, one part recipes for food & life: the book is full of anecdotes and scenarios to give the non-parisian a better idea of what the ideals of these women mean. Paris has become synonymous with so many things; class, beauty, sophistication, style; and the images we see in movies and read about in books seem almost dreamlike or unreal. However, the authors bring the Parisian back down to reality & reveal her flaws and vices: she is never satisfied, a know it all, and always late; as well, they reveal the wonderful qualities that non-parisian women envy: her undeniable chic factor, that messy natural look that she embodies, how she hosts the perfect dinner party, and what she has in her closet. The parisian woman’s thoughts on marriage, love, children, work & play may be vastly different from the stereotypical American’s, however, all women, globally, have some quality of the Parisian and n d r e w z i m m e r m a n we ashould hold on to that quality and let it give us that je ne sais quoi.

“IT” GIRL OF STREET Dallas’ coolest art gallery, WaAS, just recently wrapped up their Collect Respect exhibit, which featured numerous artists of various mediums in the street style realm together under one roof.
Firstly, in 30 words or less, in the most creative way you can, will you tell us what it is you do & what your art for m & medium is, & anything else you can fit in there?
CAVEAT had the opportunity to chat with one of the featured artists of Collect Respect, Dallas sculptor Kate Firth, about her style both in her art form & personally; as well as who and what are inspiring her, and what’s going on in the world of Kate.
What has been the most dif ficult process you’ve gone through to create a new piece?
I am a sculptor that specializes in steel. My style is inspired by the contemporary, but I work in a traditional handmade manner.
How would you describe your younger years & how they af fected your career trajectory? I g rew up doing a lot of extreme sports. I was always hitting up construction sites in the neighborhood to get building materials for ramps. After lear ning how to build ramps & g rind rails, I began making my own longboards skateboards. I’d experiment with boar shapes, materials & paint jobs. My dad would drive me to Home Depot & teach me how to use power tools; he was always supportive of what I was creating, which really allowed me to be creative. Both of my parents inf luenced me heavily in hindsight. My dad is an electrical engineer & my mom is an interior designer. It’s kind of funny looking back to how I g rew up and my parents’ inf luence - when you blend an engineer and a designer, that’s the job description of a steel sculptor.
WRITTEN BY MEGHAN FOREST
Each piece has their own difficulties. I am always trying new for ms, hanging hard ware, finish, and fabricating processes. The sculpture I am currently working on is much larger compared to works I have made in the past. This project is a large outdoor, wall hung sculpture that will be installed in downtown Dallas at the cor ner of Main Street & Lamar. I am very excited about this commission; I have recently developed an interest in large outdoor work, trying something new & challenging for myself by placing my work in a public space instead of gallery walls.
What is currently inspiring you as an artist and as a human being?* Sculptors, Nic Noblique and Mark di Suvero - both hand make their work, emphasizing the power of imagination and process with human hands. Architect, Frank Gehry - his buildings are huge steel sculptures. Moder n & contemporary architecture.. looking at the balance of positive & negative space, along with line. Androg yny particularly in objects & materials, stripping preconceived notions of gender.
28
ART What was the first project you were extremely proud of and fed your inner artist most, convincing you to continue? The first steel sculpture I ever made at age 18. Since I was a kid, I thought there was something so amazing about making objects by hand at any size your imagination and abilities would allow. one I finished my first steel sculpture, I knew that’s what I was meant to do.
What do you want people to know most about your art for m, & you? Fresh perspective.
Because we think fashion & art are totally connected & work in unison, will you describe your favorite outfit you own and give us 5 words that describe your personal style? Although I am often in studio clothes, when I go out, this is my favorite outfit: black boots, polka dot dress, black skinny jeans, speckled dark pur ple & black deep v-shirt, with my 80s black & g rey single button blazer with shoulder pads. 4 words that describe my style: Well, I don't really know how to answer that myself. I guess if I had to call it anything maybe, industrial chic? •industrial •androg ynous •polished •casual

“how can we monetize what the fashion world is already doing & make it beneficial for everyone involved?”
Starting from the source, former personal stylist Amber’s own blog VENZedits, is where
she first realized that she was giving her clients all of her style secrets without reaping any benefit or the usual commission that come with that sort of gig. So she decided to find a way to get all of her advertisers in one place & get smart about this blogging business. So add in Baxter, the tech side of the business, and voila: rewardStyle is born. Amber can often be quoted as giving advice along the lines of, if you have an idea, follow it, pursue it, and embark on the adventure. Amber has been a part of many realms of the fashion industry locally in Dallas & globally (rewardStyle now has offices in London) with D Magazine’s top jewelry designer in Dallas as a credential as well as experience in styling. With her resume, drive, and passion for connecting and uniting fashion and technology, now we all have the luxury of liking, knowing & then getting our hands on some gorgeous garments.
