WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF FASHION

CHLOE MAGAZINE EDITOR IN CHIEF SANDY GALLI

As we enter the Autumn/Winter season, we are proud to release CHLOE’s eighteenth issue. And what an incredible journey it has been. Our stories will take you to the top of Everest to below the waves of the red sea to the incredible shores of Newfoundland. It’s a bittersweet October as we say goodbye to the incredible Summer season, and welcome Fashion’s most anticipated time of the year. We had the pleasure interviewing Norman Seeff, who’s photographed many of the most iconic names in music, art and show business. Responsible for images you are so familiar with and have contributed to decades of pop culture. Patti Smith, Ray Charles, Tina Turner, Mick Jagger, Cher, John Belushi, and Aerosmith to name a few! We also had the honour of featuring two of our favourite TV Actresses Devin Kelley from ABC drama’s series Resurrection and Sonequa Martin-Green from AMC series The Walking Dead. Can’t wait for the new seasons. As for the next Lana Del Rey, keep your eye or should I say your ears on the vibes of London’s newest pop-princess Laurel. Lastly and mostly, I want to thank the writers, photographers, stylists, makeup and hair artists that contributed in Chloe’s biggest Issue release. We also express our deep thanks to all our dedicated readers who celebrate Woman and Life and appreciate the art we produce in each issue. Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season, and wish you the very best for the new year. Here’s to wearing Prada, Sandy Galli

MODEL JULIA DUNSTALL FASHION ASSISTANT LINDA BERG

Makeup and Hair Artist Anna Neroiu (P1M) This story for CHLOE started with a strong concept/vision Amy had. She said to me: â&#x20AC;&#x153; think Bjork, raver, but coutureâ&#x20AC;?. We have both been dying to incorporate sparkle into a photo shoot, and this was the perfect opportunity. I wanted to give our model, Julia, a look that was totally surreal, magical, ethereal but empowering at the same time. The sparkle treatment was used in an unconventional way, not as one would expect it, on the eyelids, but rather on the entire face and hair as well as the body. The colour choices and colour patches were also well planned out, as to contour the face in a way that the light would reflect best. This gave our model a look that is heavenly, elegant and graceful, capturing her ethereal beauty. Using glitter in this way landed our story the edgy makeup look it needed in order to emphasize who this character in our story was. Luminous Silk Foundation by Giorgio Armani

I like to believe that

BEAUTY

is created. While there are some that are genetically blessed,

BEAUTY IS A GIFT

THAT EVERY WOMAN IS BORN WITH,

If you choose to embrace it.

A WOMAN’S GLORY CHLOE BEAUTY EDITOR NATALIE VENTOLA

There is a sense of strength and purpose surrounding a woman who makes the choice every morning to put herself together in an aesthetically pleasing way. But why is it that we are attracted to beauty, yet it is still dismissed as merely superficial? To make oneself beautiful takes creative intelligence. It is a craft that requires discipline. To work with what you have been given and make it the best it can be. The secret to beauty isn’t about being born with perfect features, or recreating some one else’s vision, true beauty comes from within. There is a power to trusting your woman’s intuition: expressing yourself not as the world expects you to, but as you feel inspired. Beauty is a special and unique light, radiating confidence and self assurance in who you are and what you are making of yourself, without a fear of what others will think. A sparkle in the eye never dies if you have the strength to keep it alive, and that is a beauty that can only be coveted by looking within and finding your light. This issue, I encourage readers to embrace beauty without over thinking it, trust your gut and go for the glory.

Since as long as designer

Mylene B

can remember, she has always

BEEN DRAWING CLOTHES

DESIGNING FOR THE PAST 12 YEARS, SHE IS

inspired by architecture, industrial design, movement,

AND THE FABRICS SHE IS WORKING WITH. INTERVIEW BY EMILY FOX PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROGER PROULX

When thinking about the inspiring Canadian designers she looks up to, she includes Jeremy Laing, who is fairly well-known in the Toronto Fashion scene and well as in New York City where he has shown several times, but also designers UNTTLD, Agathe Bodineau of LALAYEAH for her jewelry, and Sarra Tang of HOI BO for her accessories provide inspiration of the Montreal-based designer. When talking about her passions, Mylène’s is a mixed bag. “The drive to excel at something you’re passionate about and to push yourself forward is really keeping me going,” she says. “But I also need to spend time with my boyfriend and my 3 kids, they keep me grounded.” As a young designer, Mylène does not feel like she has to prove anything to others. She determines that she will always try her best to prove to herself that she has pushed herself as far as she can. “I try to offer the best quality in design, the way my clothes are finished and in my choice of fabrics,” she states. “The only person I have to prove anything to is myself.” For a brand with fairly easy-to-wear clothes, Mylène does not cater to a specific age bracket. She says it is more a matter of style than age. If it is not the style you are looking for, it won’t fit you no matter what your age. When it comes to the fabrics she selects for her collections, Mylène prefers to work with natural fibers such as wool, linen, cotton, and tencel. When selecting fabrics, it is essential that she touch them first, knowing how essential it is for the fabric to feel pleasant on the skin. She also enjoys playing with movement and draping, to make sure the fabrics are malleable and adjustable if needed. Working with a

lot of neutral colours like black, grey, and white, she also enjoys to add an accent of colour for each season. During a day at the studio working on the collection, it is only Mylène and one other person, so she is present during every step of the collection-making process. When the first samples are out and she is able to look at all the details, like look and fit, this is when she is the most excited. “It’s when the collection starts to exist,” she says. There is no typical day, with some days spent working on drawings and others doing patterns or at the sewing machine figuring out how to finish a piece. As for trends, Mylène tends to think of a specific woman when she designs her collection. For example, for Spring/Summer 2015, she tried to bring movement and lightness to more structured pieces like jackets by using fabrics like linen and viscose, and by adding some openings at various places on the garments. “I wanted to bring a relaxed fit and look to clothes that are more urban,” says Mylène. Although she has no current plans to show her collection during fashion week, Mylène is not without aspiration. “I would love to see my c ollections in Germany or Denmark, where I think my designs could fit,” she says. “But for now, I’m focusing on my shop in Montreal, and the store carrying my line in Toronto, ANNIE AIME.” Finally, when asked about her success, Mylène responded with the optimism and vivacity that seems to mark the difference between those who succeed, and those who do not. “The success to me is still being here after 12 years,” she says. “And my goal is to keep going for more years to come!”

SONEQUA MARTIN-GREEN PROVIDED A GREAT DEAL OF INSIGHT

Into her career, her passions,

AND HER IDEAS

WORDS BY EMILY FOX - PHOTOGRAPHY BY MATT SAYLES STYLIST ASHLEY ZOHAR - HAIR BY NEEKO ABRIOL MAKEUP ARTIST CAROLA GONZALEZ LOCATION - HERRINGBONE AT MONDRIAN LOS ANGELES

To speak to someone so sweet and kind as Sonequa Martin-Green seems akin to talking to the most wonderfully astute child. As with many actors, Martin-Green was well-educated in her art form before her breakout role in “Toe to Toe.” She stated that, since that performance, she has been opportunistic with her career, but has standards. She explained that there were great things in the beginning, but she was so busy taking advantage of opportunities that she felt like she had little choice. However, as she became more experienced, she established her own decision-making power, and resolves now to maintain her integrity while acting. When asked about her process on the set of “The Walking Dead,” she described it as a rich environment, where “everyone is operating at their top level.” The atmosphere can be both physically exhausting and emotionally stressful. “It’s a hectic experience,” she said introspectively, “touching on different aspects of life.” At the end of the day, Martin-Green has learned that she must take her experiences day-by-day, moment-to-moment, digging deeper when she feels she has hit the end of her rope. And when it comes to her character Sasha, she said it depends on the day; some days she can shift out of the consciousness of Sasha easily, while other times she seeks decompression. Her connection with the character is so strong, it is sometimes consuming. Naps, she says, are always important.

Ultimately, acting has been a freeing aspect in her life, forcing her to soak up everything, because everything is too easy to miss. In keeping with her people-oriented career choice, Martin-Green is very fond of people, and our conversation was riddled with the booming, comforting laughter of someone extremely comfortable with both themselves and others. She described her great passion for inner city youth, explaining that she intends, through acting or storytelling (the oldest profession alive), to “show them what they can be.” She is grateful to be given the gift of acting, and marveled at what it does for us as people. In her life, Martin-Green mused, her biggest lesson has been living moment-to-moment. “You must learn to have a spontaneous lifestyle,” she stated, “float. You don’t always know what, when, where, or how much you’ll get for your next job. You must learn how to find comfort in that.” She described that, ultimately, acting has been a freeing aspect in her life, forcing her to soak up everything, because everything is too easy to miss. She stated that she never intended to live a half-life, stressing and missing the beauty of the moment, which she said can only too easily pass you by. “I was forced to,” she said, “just by my job. And I’m really grateful for that.” At the end of the day, her advice is to stay in the moment. “Find out what that means for you,” she said, and figure out your why, your reason for being here. “If you can’t find it,” she said. “Go deeper.”

25th ANNIVERSARY SHOWING IN NEW YORK

Azria delved into what the show notes called

‘a curated assortment of versatile pieces with inspiration from years past that embodies the DNA of the brand’

A stong collection. Moto coats, even with their luxe foxfur collars, can be easily dressed down with a casual denim – could be easily left to stand on its own for evening.

The show started off in a neutral palette of pale mauve, camel and ice grey through the use of bold seemingly southwestern inspired stripes. That DNA evolved in slightly demure asymmetrical midi skirts that flowed down to meet knee-high boots, menswear inspired moments that brought about men’s button-downs with rabbitfur capes and shearling leather, hi-lo sweatshirts, as well as one slightly slinky jacquard dress, back-cutout included.

IN ALL THE WORLD,

SHE WALKS INTO MINE

HUMPHREY BOGART ~ CASABLANCA

Hotels across the world feature some of the best lounges and bars with bartenders offering lists of aperitifs and after-dinner drinks that sparkle with class and creativity.

THE AMERICAN BAR The Savoy, London, England The term ‘American Bar’ refers to a bar serving mixed or ‘American’ style drinks, more commonly known as cocktails. As transatlantic travel became more popular in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, many American Bars opened throughout London. The American Bar at The Savoy is the longest surviving of these bars and one of the most iconic cocktail bars in the world. In 1903 the first truly ‘famous’ bartender arrived at The American Bar, a lady named Ada ‘Coley’ Coleman, who’s signature cocktail was the Hanky Panky, still a popular choice today. Ada’s successor was the inspirational Harry Craddock, who not only created a number of classic cocktails but who notoriously compiled these recipes into the legendary Savoy Cocktail book, still regarded today as the bartender’s bible.

LE BAR

Shangri-La Hotel, Paris A special, sophisticated sound design complements Le Bar’s authentic Empire décor. Unwind here in true Parisian style with The Pink Lady, our signature cocktail in honour of Lady Mendl, former resident of the property. Explore fresh and exotic flavours with the Asian Touch cocktails like the Pékin Express, or enjoy a glass from an extensive wine list.

Another Round

Classic hotel bar cocktails I can picture Alistair Cooke preserved in one of the Dukes Bar’s forest green velvet corner chairs, a chilled martini on the table before him. It’s so well hidden – off St James’s Place, which is off St James’s Street – Dukes is practically a speakeasy. Here the martinis are straight up frozen gin or vodka enlivened with dashes of bespoke vermouth and oil expertly wrung from generous peels of Amalfi lemon by white-jacketed bartenders, led by Alessandro Palazzi. A proper old London establishment, it is neither cheap (at £16-£17 per drink) nor pretentious. Dukes Bar, Dukes Hotel, London

CITY SPACE Swissotel The Stamford, Singapore

SAZERAC FAIRMONT HOTEL, NEW ORLEANS 1 sugar cube - 5 dashes of Peychaud’s bitters 2 oz. rye Herbsaint Coat a chilled old-fashioned glass with Herbsaint, then rub a lemon peel around the rim and discard. Muddle sugar and bitters in another glass, add rye, and pour into the old-fashioned glass. THE ST-GERMAIN COCKTAIL THE EMPIRE HOTEL, NEW YORK 2 oz. Champagne * 1 oz. St-Germain liqueur 2 oz. soda water Fill a highball glass with ice, add StGermain, wine, then soda water. Garnish with a nice lemon spiral

CHAMPINO BEMELMANS BAR CARLYLE HOTEL, NEW YORK 1 oz. Campari 1 1/4 oz. Sweet Vermouth 2 oz. Champagne Shake campari and sweet vermouth with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass and top with champagne. Garnish with a lemon twist. BELLINI HARRY’S BAR, VENICE, ITALY 2 tbs. white peach puree * 3 drops raspberry puree *chilled Prosecco Pour peach puree into the bottom of a champagne flute, add raspberry puree, and top it off with Prosecco.

Revel in the epitome of luxury and take in the awe-inspiring views of Singapore at City Space. Helmed as one of the 50 Best Bars in the World, City Space is a haven of sophistication and relaxing vibes, best known for its innovative cocktails, extravagant spirit selections and impeccable service. The bar boasts some of the most creative cocktails to be served. Imagine having caviar, Tiger beer, and cinnamon with lychee liqueur.

CHLOE MAGAZINE

ROOFTOP BAR Mamilla Hotel, Jerusalem High above the city, the Rooftop Bar at Mamilla Hotel embraces the fresh Jerusalem breeze, while offering a magnificent view of the Old City. There can hardly be a better milieu anywhere in the world for delectable food, pleasant music and casual al fresco dining. Whether you are celebrating your stay in the magical city of Jerusalem, or looking to unwind with a drink after a busy day, the Rooftop is a place to remember and experience time and time again.

SKY BAR ROOFTOP Lebua (Bangkok) Made even more famous by hosting the Hangover II boys during filming in Bangkok, Sky Bar rooftop at Lebua State Tower offers one of the best views in the city. 63 floors up and overlooking the river, it has become a must-do for a sundowner cocktail. Around ten minutesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; walk from Saphan Taksin BTS it is very easy to find, just look up and walk towards the tall cream building with the gold dome on the roof. If you are a fan of the movie try a Hangovertini. The mixologist at Lebua created it especially to celebrate the film, and although many people did not like how Bangkok and its citizens were represented on screen, the blend of green tea liquor, apple juice, Martini Rosso and rosemary honey, goes down much better here than the movie ever did.

THE WINE LIBRARY B2 Boutique Hotel, Zurich, Switzerland In this space, a sense of history emanates from the beer-bottle chandeliers and the collection of 33,000 books. The Wine Library is a public space where hotel guests can relax, read, chat, browse online, network, flirt, eat and drink. On request, we can bring snacks to your table at any time of day or night - from Swiss â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hinkelsteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cheese, matured for 18-20 months and served with balsamic vinegar, to beef tartar - and treat you to fine wines from the Zurich region.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Landscape photography is where I started. In many ways it remains my first love. I was inspired by the large landscapes of Ansel Adams and this project began with that in mind. My work in fashion photography propelled me to create a hybrid of both worlds and thus, First Love, a landscape based fashion editorial in the magnificent light of Gros Morne National Park was born.â&#x20AC;? ~ Robert DiVito

“This shoot was the most unique and beautiful experience I’ve had in my eight years as a fashion model. The locals we encountered on our adventures in Gros Morne, Newfoundland have an expression: “If you don’t like the weather in Newfoundland, just wait ten minutes.” It didn’t take our team long to understand the expression. Our window for shooting each look was very small because of the rapidly changing weather and light.” ~ Kelleth Cuthbert “What was most memorable were the attitudes of everyone involved...high spirits, great energy and it seemed like they had known each other for years. Made me look inward as a person and evaluate my outlook on life and humanity.” ~ Robert Stratton

“I was inspired by the rich golden peak Tablelands and for this look I used MAC gold foil on the eyelids to reflect off the landscape, a warm Lancome bronzer to contour the cheek and a sheer, dewy Dior maximizing lip gloss. I thought of the sensation of freedom I get every time i’m on a road trip exploring so I picked fresh daisies on the hike up and made a headpiece from the local flora and placed it in her loosely textured amber hair. A flower child character that is easily one with nature.” ~ Ashley Gesner

â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE CLIFFS in Newfoundland stay with you. When I first saw them in Flat Rock, several years ago, they burned a majestic impression that is both romantic and fierce. I came upon this sunset in the small town of Rocky Harbour, Gros Morne, and I knew it was going to be my mermaid shot with Kelleth. The ocean is not only iconic but an integral part of life on the island. The rock behind Kelleth had an unusual coal like quality that looked charred by centuries of salt and sun.â&#x20AC;? ~ Robert DiVito

“Kelleth is the quiet thinker. It is said you shoot the personality, not the girl. With that in mind I usually try to get into the head of my model to figure them out. In the five days I spent with Kelleth we didn’t speak much. As it turned out I never struggled once to find her in my frame. Unusual. Although I’ve looked at Kelleth everyday since the shoot I haven’t seen her since. Like the mystery that is artist and muse, I can say I know her like the back of my hand while at the same time feeling like I’ve barely scratched the surface.” ~ Robert DiVito

Adam Atelier dress BRAVE belt

“Art is everything for me. It’s about creating something beautiful in hopes that it will inspire legacy. Live on past me. WESTERN BROOK POND was my inspiration. The long climb to the top of the summit involves a 2hr hike and boat ride just to reach the launch point. The assent is an arduous one that requires a skilled guide and an abundance of resilience. Without the use of running water, electricity, toilets, or any of the necessities on a regular shoot, the team was prepared to capture something never done before. Here you have a fashion editorial shot in what is one of the world’s most iconic natural wonders.” ~ Robert DiVito

PORTRAIT OF AN ICON

Most people know

NORMANSEEFF Because of the icons of music, film and television he has

PHOTOGRAPHED since 1969 Words By: Jentzen Michael Shea

@JentzenMShea

His images have been showcased on album, book and magazine covers and have been nominated for numerous awards. What most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about Norman Seeff is that in 1975, he began to document his photo sessions on film, compiling over 1,000 hours on formats ranging from 16mm to almost every type of video tape. In viewing this footage and speaking with Norman itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that creativity was not only present in his photo sessions, but defined.

Norman wasn’t always headed down the creative path, though he does recognize that he had what he calls a “duality” in personality, often writing poetry and drawing in secret as a boy. He remembers rebelling against the patriarchy of his native South Africa at a time when views were extremely conservative. But he was lucky; he was able to balance his creativity by also being studious and sporty. At the age of 17 he was one of the youngest soccer players to be drafted into the National League. Following in his father’s footsteps and having qualified as a medical doctor, he practiced emergency medicine for three years in Soweto, the all black township on the outskirts of Johannesburg, South Africa. Even as a doctor he recalls that at night he would paint and sculpt and explore his passion as an artist. He recalls one morning, “almost like an epiphany I realized that I had to get out of South Africa. It was getting very dangerous for me at the time, and I also felt I needed to explore my creative side. Very quickly, I resigned, packed a bag, including my camera, said goodbye to everyone and took a one way ticket to New York.”

Norman spent his first year and a half in Manhattan in a tough spot. Not having had any formal photography training, he was not getting work and doubted himself constantly, especially having given up the “important” work of a doctor. As luck would have it, his photographs of people he met in the streets and bars, including his remarkable images of Robert Mapplethorpe and Patti Smith, and Andy Warhol and the Factory were discovered by the renowned graphic designer Bob Cato who gave him his first gig. This would become the turning point in his career. It was to shoot images for the liner notes for The Band’s Stage Fright album. As it turned out, Robbie Robertson loved one his shots so much, Cato had the idea to turn it into a poster inserted under the shrink wrap of the album. Overnight, it became a must-have collector’s item. He notes, “I go from not being able to get a meeting with art directors to people calling me saying—are you the guy who shot that incredible picture, would you come in and see us?” In 1971, Norman was asked by Cato to relocate to Los Angeles to become the Art Director for United Artists Records. He recounts the years that followed as a shift in the way he operated and worked as an artist, “I was building my portfolio and learning how to create my photo sessions as an emotional experience. That was a big shift for me. It was not about focusing on the techniques of photography; but on creating relationships that are intimate and emotionally intense. And then I would just document this experience.” It was during a session with Ike and Tina Turner in 1975 that Norman’s own creativity and understanding of the creative process shifted. At this point, he had left United Artists and was running his own studio in a small A-frame building a few doors up from the famous Chateau Marmont. (Incidentally, today, Norman’s old studio is the iconic Bar Marmont). Norman brought a film crew into the session to capture the authenticity of creativity.

CHLOE MAGAZINE

In combining the use of film and photography to document what he calls the “inner dynamics of the creative process”, Norman defines himself as an experientialist who focuses on creating authentic experiences. He notes that the sessions often became “artist workshops and private concerts”, and he has built an archive of content that features over 500 sessions with musicians, actors, writers, and directors including Ray Charles, Joni Mitchell, Steve Martin, John Travolta, Martin Scorsese, Bob Fosse, will.i.am, Tina Turner and Alicia Keys. When asked what his most memorable session is, Norman offers that “all are memorable and all become very profound in their own way,” but he mentions that his session with Ray Charles was particularly fascinating for him. “While speaking, Ray would take pieces of the dialogue and turn them into song. He also had the most amazing ability to articulate his own creative experience.”

Not only was creativity born and realized within these sessions, but Norman learned that it could be defined as something not of the brain, but of the mind—often the subconscious mind. It is from this notion that he developed the Seven Stage Dynamic of the Creative Process, the process by which we as humans experience creativity. It is this dynamic that is often the subject of discussion during his lectures and which has become the backdrop of the projects he is working on now. While celebrity photo shoots were the means by which he developed his theory, his more recent sessions have been with others outside the traditionally artistic sphere - those who use creativity on a daily basis to invent or innovate like Nobel Prize winning scientists, entrepreneurs and aerospace engineers. Currently Norman has multiple projects in the works that will make use of his countless hours of footage documenting the process and experience of creation. He notes that he is “now engaged in explorations with potential partners to produce it in three broad areas.” He adds, “We are creating a web channel, which will be a journey that people go on called, Finding your voice, living your dream; and we are also looking at a TV series and a documentary.” Of these projects Norman mentions he is most excited about the web series because it will be more interactive and he hopes it will “re-inspire people to believe in their own creativity. A big part of what I am about is the conviction that everyone is creative.” The future is extremely exciting for a man who is most often recognized for his past and equally exciting for those who will experience the nostalgia from viewing footage of some of the world’s most iconic creators. While extremely imaginative and undoubtedly passionate about the ability of each of us to be creative, he put it best when he said, “creativity is born out of imagination and fueled by emotion.” Famous for photographing the famous, Norman Seeff is truly an icon and a portrait of creativity.

Fashion Cares “CASINO” back stage, 2003, Hair: Mary Tripi, Photo: Nicholas Vrettakos

“The most memorable experience as an artist is when you change someone”

hroughout her career the name Mary Tripi has been associated with the kind of classic beauty that transcends time. Compassionate and family oriented, this talented, spirited woman is known for creating legendary looks that are unique, sophisticated and on the cutting edge of fashion. With over five decades of experience in the industry, Canadian Mary Tripi has become a world-class educator and influencer. Full of life and vitality, at 74 she still has enough energy to run the new salon she opened last year in Toronto ‘The Private World of Mary Tripi’, her grand love for theatre, and the arts continue to inspire her along with her travels. She always finds time to explore around the globe to places like Greece, New York, Italy and most recently, Paris. When I met with Mary for our interview we were approached by two women, with excited recognition, on a street of downtown Toronto. As it turned out, they were her clients from 20 years ago and both women sang her praises. It was at that moment I realized I was in the presence of a true artist. Generations of clients keep referring her to the next, her reputation and experience creating a living legend. Despite all of her talent and success she has remained humble with clear intention. “The most memorable experience as an artist is when you change someone, how different they act and take up a different personality when what you do for their outer beauty reflects how they truly feel on the inside. That experience of helping someone tap into his or her own beauty is rewarding and unforgettable”. Mary constantly challenges herself to make innovative, authentic contributions to the industry through collaboration with the industry’s top photographers and stylists for editorials and runway shows for luxury and commercial brands. Her work is also known for making one’s inner beauty come out regardless of the latest trends. Her vision and creative instinct are matched only by her affection for making her clients feel beautiful. This is timeless. Here we travel through the years with Mary Tripi. She leaves me with unforgettable advice... “Classic beauty never fades”. marytripi.com

WINE STYLE HOLIDAY 2014

Sip, savour, share and be

HAPPY

Everyday this season holds a chance for you to

SHARE AND CONNECT with your loved ones and nothing brings people together more than wine Words by Angela Aiello Rejoice in the moment, find adventure and make laughter your priority. Right now is the time to sip, savour and be happy! With the changing of the seasons comes a natural change to your wardrobe â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the same experience can happen on your palate. As we move from summertime sipping to savouring cooler temperatures, you may find yourself yearning for more mediumbodied varietals. That is exactly what is supposed to happen! Similar to your wardrobe, it is now time to put some items and colours away, and bring out new styles that fit the time of year. While there are bottles you are happy to drink all year round (just like your favourite pair of jeans), remain open-minded to switch things up and challenge those around you as well. Bring out the cheese and wine, and share the fun by opening a bottle of something new and exciting. Experiment with new regions, varieties and foods and get adventurous. You only live once, and there is so much wine to try!

Try with a full flavoured, old fashioned creamy cheddar style cheese. Look for something very mellow and tasty with an exceptionally good balanced depth of flavour that goes on and on.

Louis M. Martini Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon louismartini.com Made by 3rd Generation winemaker Louis M. Martini, this California Cabernet exudes passion and is beautifully structured and delicious. Pair this wine with a good friend, a great steak dinner, and dark chocolate.

Trapiche Pure Malbec trapiche.com A fantastic example of a Malbec with an angelic personality. There is no oak used in the making of this red wine, so all you taste is pure fruit and terrior. To compare its purity, put it back to back with another Malbec.

Radio Boca radiobocawines.com A Spanish wine with a modern feel, this is a great bottle to enjoy with tapas-style appetizers in the company of friends. It simply calls for celebration.

Camembert has a delicate salty taste. Famous with baguette bread and excellent with fruits, nuts and a speacial Malbec. Best eaten at room temperature.

A textured goat cheese, dense and very creamy and the rind is sweet with a yeasty flavor that increases as the cheese ages. Great with deep flavoured wines.

Two Oceans Shiraz twooceanswines.com Right now is the season for Shiraz. If you haven’t fallen for South African wine yet, what are you waiting for? This iconic and respected brand is created by the sun and cool sea breeze at the tip of Africa. Unique and wonderful, this wine is from one of the most extraordinary places on the planet.

Red wine pairs best with cheeses that have a mild flavour. Stronger and richer flavours in cheese pair best with white wines. Try to match the pungency of the cheese with sweeter wines. The more pungent-the sweeter the wine should be.

Union Noir unionwines.com This is a perfect example of a beautiful lighter-bodied Canadian red wine with fragrant aromas and flavours that will keep you coming back for more. It is like your little black dress – it always looks great, and feels good on too.

One of the world’s most popular cheeses Brie can be mild and slightly chalky or decadently gooey and quite strong in flavour. Try matching with fruity reds such as Union Noir Pinot Noir.

Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc whitehaven.co The signature white grape of New Zealand, this refreshing Sauvignon Blanc brings a touch of elegance and finesse to your event. It is perfect for entertaining friends and family over a holiday brunch.

Fleur De Cap Chardonnay fleurducap.co The perfect Chardonnay. This is a seriously great wine. It has great balance and is very well crafted. A must try if you love Chardonnay.

Gruyere has a dense, compact texture beneath its ruddy brown rind. At first fruity but then pleasantly nutty, this hard Swiss cheese pairs deliciously with a crisp, cool Sauvignon Blanc.

To accentuate Jarlsberg Cheeseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweet, nutty flavor and open texture, choose light, fresh white wines rather than reds. Dry or semi-dry whites made from Chardonnay grapes is the perfect match.

Trapiche Extravaganza Red Blend vinsdandurand.com Mysterious and dark, this blended wine is sure to bring out your guestsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; adventurous and fun side. The perfect party mixer, pair this wine with nibblers that fit the extravaganza theme.

Pessoa da Vinha pessoawines.com This bottle is a great old world discovery and offers amazing value. It is balanced, charming and has great character. Just like a great holiday outfit.

A cheese with complex flavors, such as Parmigiano Reggiano, is best paired with wines that are simple in structure and flavor profile. A high enough acidity level to balance the fat content of the cheese and perhaps some residual sweetness to balance its saltiness.

Pessoa is a bold, dark fruit wine with lively red fruits and a noted dryness that draws out the savory saltiness in Pecorino Toscano cheese for a rich pairing perfect for cozy evenings.

Apothic Red apothic.com With hints of black cherry, vanilla and mocha, this wine inspires mystery. It is made with California’s signature grapes: Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It’s spicy, dark, bold and smooth.

The holidays are a time to celebrate – another year has passed filled with life’s joys and trials – and you deserve it! When it comes to feasting and festing, wine is the perfect accessory with every menu and occasion. You can never have too many bottles on hand for the holidays, and wine is always the perfect gift. From conversation to opinions, wine can connect even the most unlikely of friends and family. Open a bottle of wine to indulge and share – spread the love all around and the universe will provide the rest.

With a mineral tang and a punch of spice, Cashel Blue cheese draws out the deep purple grapes and explosive tannins of a plum-toned Cabernet.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on the road traveling for the past two-and-a-half years on a personal quest to see the world for myself and with my own eyes. It has been an invaluable experience that has taken me to the top of the world on a month-long expedition across the Everest Region through the Himalayas, to the bottom of the Red Sea in Egypt, diving the historical wrecks of Indonesia, participating in an outdoor art installation at the world renown Place de la Republique square in Paris and nourishing myself at the local wet markets around the world.

Description: NEPAL. Everest Region, Everest Base Camp and Khumbu Glacier. May 12th, 2012. Sitting at 5,364 meters, the Everest Base Camp lies at the foot of Mount Everest, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest mountain. Beyond that just at 4,900 meters at its source, the Khumbu Glacier is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest glacier located at the start of the route to scaling Mount Everest.

My partner and I chose to leave our corporate positions to focus on personal development and start our own venture. The first leg of our journey took us through the Himalayas in the Everest Region, crossing the Chola Pass, Everest Base Camp (5,364m), the summit of Gokyo Ri (5,360m) and ending with a 16-hour technical ascent of Island Peak, just beyond 6,180m. My decision to choose Nepal as a destination began with the desire to test my limits, both mental and physical. I have spent a significant amount of time trekking and climbing at much lower altitudes and decided this was my opportunity. For me, this marked a significant personal change. After spending many months training and preparing, I summited one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest introductory peaks, had photographed it all and made it back to tell the tale; a feat I never would have imagined myself accomplishing only a short time before.

Over three months of training, I focused on developing my photographic skills through disciplined self-study and documenting my progress. Next, I moved to Southern Thailand where I spent three months learning to freedive and sail as competent crew, completed my certification for PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor and began shooting professional photographs underwater.

My inspiration to pursue photography as a vocation has developed as a result of travelling, scuba diving and expedition mountaineering. Additionally, photography has allowed me to achieve my goal of pursuing a career that allows me to express my creativity and manage my professional photography business. As a native of New York, growing up in both the USA and Hong Kong has developed an appreciation for diverse cultures and travel and developed a passion for outdoor pursuits, nature and marine conservation. My initial passion for photography arose as a way to share my experiences, document my travels and explore my creative side. It has since grown into a full-time pursuit over the last two years with the experience I have gained traveling and exploring.

Devin Kelley talks

RESURRECTION being starstruck and her

TITANIC OBSESSION JAY DE BELEN REPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY BY RICKY MIDDLESWORTH HAIR AND MAKEUP BETHANY COLSON

The last time most of us saw Devin Kelley, she was dashing away from a swarming horde of mutant humanoids in 2012’s Chernobyl Diaries. Insert lots of screaming, a dying Jesse McCartney and a strangely overactive Geiger counter, with the radioactive town of Pripyat and the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant as the unnerving backdrops. This September, Kelley returns as Dr. Maggie Langston in season two of ABC’s Resurrection, a show revolving around the mysterious return of the dead. It seems Kelley has an affinity for two things: freaky situations and intense characterization.

CHLOE MAGAZINE

“I couldn’t keep in my fandom! I had to let her know I was obsessed with Titanic!”

A melting pot of show tropes, Resurrection boasts a little bit of everything – they’ve got family drama, supernatural mysteries, autopsies and investigations, and vague (but thrilling!) references to biblical Scripture. Kelley herself describes Resurrection as a platform for human emotion: “at the heart of the show, it’s about people in an everyday small town, just dealing with love and loss, spirituality and faith, and science.” As the local doctor in the sleepy town of Arcadia, Missouri, Kelley starts off fairly conservative and professional as Maggie. But as the series progresses, she unravels as life in Arcadia begins to turn topsy-turvy. And when things start to go off the rail, that’s when Kelley shines. “I tend to be more kooky, airy-fairy than Maggie,” Kelley explains, laughing through our conversation. Calling from Atlanta, Georgia, Kelley definitely sounds like a chipper personality. It’s almost impossible for anybody to imagine an excited Devin Kelley gesturing wildly as she talks into a speakerphone – it’s clear she’s quite the character, all acting aside. “It’s a bit more of a challenge for me to be really buttoned-up.”

Though Kelley is arguably an up-and-coming lead actress, Resurrection features some heavy hitters from various places within the entertainment industry; Frances Fisher, Omar Epps, Samaire Armstrong and Kurtwood Smith to name a few. Kelley’s voice lights up at the mention of her heavy-hitter colleagues – “I love Titanic, I’ve probably seen it like five thousand times. I just had to gush to [Frances Fisher], I couldn’t keep in my fandom! I had to let her know I was obsessed with Titanic!” And very recently, Michelle Fairley (of Game of Thrones fame) joined the cast as a recurring character. It’s just a smorgasbord of talented thespians up in Arcadia, and Kelley couldn’t sound happier. “You would think that I would get used to it,” Kelley says, on working with such recognizable names in film and television. “But just this past Friday, I was looking around the table and thinking, oh my gosh, how did I get here! How did this happen?!” Getting starstruck on the job seems to be something Kelley thoroughly enjoys. It’s easy to understand why; working with talent only forces anybody to bring out their best. “I hope [being starstruck] doesn’t go away.” As for future plans, Kelley is just riding the pleasant wave of Resurrection’s filming and airing. Unsurprisingly, there’s no better feeling than watching your own show on television. In fact, she is planning on heading out to a park picnic with the rest of her show’s cast and crew – a little break from working themselves to the bone shooting the second season. With a smile beaming through the phone lines, Kelley gushes, “I’m just working really hard and enjoying every moment of it, and that’s about as far as I’ve got.”

GO FOR IT

Why not wear blue eye shadow?

AND WHILE YOU’RE AT IT, PAIR IT WITH GOLD METALLIC PIGMENTS. In this new world of Instagram and picture perfect moments, we often forget to stop over thinking the end result and simply take a risk to go for the glory. Blue eye shadow is a statement. It is a look mostly reserved for fresh-out-of-school makeup artists, and the glorious works of art that serve us at Sephora and M.A.C. counters. My decision to feature blue eye shadow this issue came to me in a dream, and for the first time I didn’t over think or over plan. I simply went on set and tried to execute a vision in my mind. It wasn’t exact, but it brought a lesson forward. Sometimes when it comes to beauty and creation, we need to stop thinking and just do it. How else can new ideas be created? How else can you reach new beauty heights? My advice is to be fearless, listen to your color intuition, and try something different. You may surprise yourself. There is an endless supply of colors, tints, stains, and intensities to explore over the course of a lifetime. Don’t limit yourself. Dream a little.

While the look never truly went out of style, it seems artificial lashes are currently enjoying a solid moment in the limelight. Versace, Gucci, and Mikhael Kale sent models strutting down the fall 2014 catwalks with shameless, over the top, doll like lashes, and the look is quickly catching on. Bringing this trend into your every day routine doesn’t have to mean going full throttle. There are many variations that can be used for everyday. “Fake” doesn’t necessarily mean unnatural looking. Remember to look for black eyelash glue. This ensures easy, natural-looking application. Use tweezers to place the lashes onto the lash line, and let the glue dry for 30 seconds before application. Lastly, try using demi lashes, which are for the outer corners of the eyes. Blend with mascara for an ultra natural look. Take the time to experiment with different brands and shapes of lashes. Like the perfect foundation color, finding the right size and shape for your eye can be a trial and error process, but once you do the result is magic.

SKIN IS IN

Fresh faced makeup is seen repeatedly

ON TOP RUNWAY SHOWS BUT FEW WOMAN UNDERSTAND THE SECRET

to recreating this look for everyday life.

Yes, natural makeup can seem intimidating for those who are used to a bit more glamour, but I challenge every woman to embrace this trend with the same confidence and purpose that goes into creating a more elaborate look. Even when I’m working with seemingly flawless teenage models, just as much time and effort goes into creating a natural look then any other. The secret is in the details. Lipstick is to be blotted on lightly, and then pressed in with the fingers for a gentle flush of color. Eyelash curling is an absolute must. Concealer and foundation should be used with a whimsical touch, with minimal to no powder on top. Eyebrows are a star feature, using precision and detail to ensure the symmetry and shape are close to perfection. Keep a monotone and systemic color scheme throughout the entire face, with focus on nudes, roses, peaches, taupe’s, or mauves. Lastly, be sure to have a great hair day: nothing brings more beauty to the face then a frame of fabulous hair.

RED IS ALL YOU NEED

While there are a few MAKEUP items

STRONG ENOUGH

TO CARRY AN ENTIRE LOOK, RED LIPSTICK CAN

easily be worn with nothing but moisturizer,

a touch of mascara, and a sparkling white smile. In fact, when it comes to red, less is truly more. While the beauty of makeup artistry is that there are “no rules” (anything can work with the right intention), there are definitely guidelines that can be followed. A strong eye paired with strong lips rarely works. Even a clean cat liner can come across as Marilyn Monroe impersonator attire if not executed with flawless precision. For a modern fresh and elegant take on this classic look, keep it simple. Skin makeup should be light and undetectable. Try a foundation-power dusted lightly across the entire face to even out your skin tone. I suggest Guerlain Lingerie De Peau Power Foundation for skin so natural that, like the finest lingerie, no one knows you’re wearing it but you. A little cheek shine goes a long way, and for this the iconic Bobbi Brown Shimmer brink is perfect for day and night. Sheer enough to never be unintentionally overdone, but strong enough to make a statement. Finish with a soft sweeping of your favorite mascara, artfully painted red lips, and enjoy the simple but glamour transformation.

Reinventing a classic

THE RENAISSANCE FAIRMONT LE CHATEAU FRONTENAC Designated a world heritage site by UNESCO, Québec City offers some of the most stunning landscapes, city views and historical buildings in Canada, all on one of the world’s largest rivers, the St. Lawrence. There is a “joie de vivre” to the city that only comes from the romance of French history, the beauty of the waterfront and the charm of old world architecture. But there is a renaissance occurring in beautiful Québec City. One of the most iconic buildings in Canada, and the world’s most photographed hotel, has been reborn. Fairmont Le Château Frontenac has undergone a multimillion dollar renovation and restoration. The result? A modern-day fairytale come true.

The landmark hotel, which sits on the site where French and British governors had their residences 400 years ago, is rich in history and offers a truly magical experience. True to Fairmont style and guest experience, the renovation efforts were meant to both preserve and enhance. The modernization efforts pay homage to the beautiful history of this icon, while incorporating a contemporary style and sophistication guests of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts know and love. The chateau’s 611 guestrooms have all been renovated; some offering a more contemporary look and feel, while others offering a more classic Château style. Château Frontenac’s boutique hotel, Fairmont Gold, increased its number of rooms available from 46 to 60, all located on the upper floors of the main tower to offer the most superb views of the city and river. With a dedicated concierge, Fairmont Gold guests can take refuge in the private lounge for hors d’oeuvres in the evening or enjoy a deluxe continental breakfast to start their day. The elegance of the renovation can be felt as soon as you enter the hotel’s main lobby. Its renovation highlights preserved signature pieces and the restoration of historic details, creating a majestic atmosphere. Large Italian blue onyx back lit panels, inspired by the beautiful St. Lawrence River, welcome guests in the reception area, and the Rose grand staircase boasts a custom 15-foot chandelier made from slender pieces of glass modeled after the icicles that form during Quebec’s winters.

The culinary experience has been heightened and transformed under the watchful eye of experienced Executive Chef Baptiste Peupion, introducing three new concepts. Champlain restaurant, the hotel’s signature dining space, highlights an innovative Québec cuisine by up-and-coming Chef Stéphane Modat. The 1608 Wine & Cheese Bar offers the largest variety of Québec cheeses, perfectly matured inside a dedicated cheese room, with an unparalleled selection of quality wines by the glass. Le Sam Bistro offers a vibrant culinary experience with creative dishes, afternoon tea and innovative mixology. In addition to the changes and upgrades to the existing hotel interior, restaurants and guestrooms, a new urban spa has been created to delight guests who seek to be spoiled by the array of treatments offered in one of the seven treatment rooms. So if you are looking for a truly breathtaking stay in a historic Château with modern conveniences look no further. Staying at Fairmont Le Château Frontenac offers a glimpse into the old world in a beautiful and vibrant city and this modern day fairytale come true always has a happy ending. fairmont.com

The chicken is paired with a delicious maple cider glaze, a blend of sweetness of the syrup and the tang from the vinegar, creating a well-balanced and flavourful sauce. This recipe is easy to prepare and the end result is spectacular. Enjoy!

Baked Chicken with Apples, Cranberries and a Maple Cider Glaze Paul Dills – Executive Chef 4 chicken breasts, boneless with skin on 1 apple, large tart red, cut in 8 wedges 1 shallot, medium, finely diced 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp vegetable oil

2 tbsp. Calvados liqueur 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar ¼ cup maple syrup ¼ cup dried cranberries ¼ cup cold butter, cubed

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. 3. Melt the butter and mix in vegetable oil in an oven proof sauté pan. Sear chicken, skin side down, until it becomes golden brown and turn over. 4. Add shallots and the apple wedges into the pan and turn to coat. Place pan back in oven for approximately 30 minutes or an internal temperature of 74 degrees Celsius is reached. Remove chicken from pan, place apple wedges on each breast and cover to keep warm.

5. In the same pan add Calvados to the drippings and flambé to cook off the alcohol. 6. Add the apple cider vinegar, maple syrup and dried cranberries, simmer and reduce by half. 7. Whisk in the cold cubes of butter one at a time to thicken into a glaze. Pour the glaze over the plated chicken and serve with roasted root vegetables and wild rice. Serves 4 people.

Ali Ghassemi, owner and creative director, has been in and around rugs since he was born, with his father, having dealt with rugs since the 1980s, who first initiated his interest.

The company, started by Tim Zyto in Montreal, has expanded into Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, New York, and Chicago, and continues to maintain these standards. Made in Canada, the sofas themselves are without equal. In the business of area rugs, Weaver and Loom have excelled beyond measure. Now, Tim Zyto, Ali Ghassemi and Montauk’s creative director Danny Chartier who has been so instrumental in the design process complimenting and coordinating the designs to the sofa’s to create the perfect Montauk Rugs. All three have come together to combine their respective talents into Montauk Rugs along with, an exclusive line of high-end area rugs. As those who have visited Montauk’s showrooms have noticed, the company personalizes individual pieces to fit each customer’s unique needs, and Montauk Rug will do the same thing. In addition to the typical pile rugs that have come to be expected at Weaver and Loom, Montauk Rug will be offering a line of “basket weave” rugs, made from leather, as Montauk’s twist on sisal rugs.

All rugs will be hand-made using the highest quality natural fibers and superior workmanship. Soon, the quality we have come to expect from Montauk, and from Weaver and Loom, will be able to be found in one place.

ON HER JOURNEY thus far

A Few Words With London’s Last Sweetheart Photographs and Interview by TED BELTON Makeup and Hair by NATALIE VENTOLA

“I am the type of person that loves sharing my world with people, I guess that’s why I write songs” The 19-year-old has been preparing her debut album, and building a buzz that sounds more like a roar each day. Q~It’s been a busy year for you so far, especially this past summer. Touring North America, playing countless festivals, new music videos, new singles, and a new album on the horizon. Has this been a huge change of pace for you? Or have you been hustling like this for years? A~I don’t think it has been that much of a change, in music sometimes you will be so busy travelling around everywhere and other times you can just relax for a few weeks, so there is always a nice balance between the two that makes it okay. Q~You’ve garnered a lot of high-profile press in the past few months. Eyes and ears the world-over are starting to pick up on what you’re doing. Does it excite you or scare you? A~It excites me hugely! It only scares me when they aren’t saying anything! Q~When you were here in Toronto for Canadian Music Week the room was packed. We kind of assumed that the crowd was gathering for Future Islands, who you were supporting. But when you started your set, every head in the room was either in awe, or was mouthing your lyrics. What is it like seeing the reaction your music is having on people? A~It was pretty overwhelming; I had no idea on the sort of crowd that would be there or even if there was going to be one at all! That’s my favourite gig I have ever done. An amazing end note for my America/Canada trip. Q~You’re a committed blogger. Your blog is rambling and insightful and personal and entirely charming. Your social media seems like a peak into your head, but not necessarily into your personal life. Are you a private person? A~I don’t think I am that private, I am the type of person that loves sharing my world with people, I guess that’s why I write songs, I can’t keep anything in my head. I just want everyone to know exactly how I am feeling. I think I drive my friends to insanity, there is never a moment that I am not talking. My blog is a way for me to write absolute nonsense and try and make sense out of my thoughts. It’s a stream of consciousness. Q~You’re one of a select handful of artists who seem to be in charge of every last bit of their music. Writing, recording, producing. It’s all you. Was that always the way you wanted to make music? How did that come about? A~Not at all! In fact I love the idea of working with other people I have done it many times but I have just found the way I write best is alone. It gives me the chance to delve deep into old emotions and off the wall ideas I have with out an onlooker, judging. I think that’s why I have such a huge connection to my songs, as they really are so heartfelt, they are everything I am trying and also trying not to feel. Q~Your debut album has been a long time coming. How long have you been working on it? What can you tell us about it? A~Just about forever! It has been close to its finished mark for a while now but I just keep writing other songs that I like better and I feel are more me in that moment of time! It’s a nightmare! I will be calling it London’s Last Sweetheart and I think you can expect a lot of passion. It is a refined collection of art that pretty much explains my thoughts and feelings over the last year and a half.

“Two of the greatest gifts we have been given on this earth are wine and roses. Nothing compares to the feelings they evoke. From romance to aroma, they are both examples of love, commitment, beauty and patience. I consider both to be the greatest symbols of passion – and two things a girl can never get enough of.”

“Every woman should learn about the world of wine. Being confident about wine is sexy, a professional asset and crucial in discovering your wine style. Talking about wine means you never run out of casual conversation. It is the one thing people always have an opinion on and love to talk about. From travel experiences to their personal wine cellar, it’s always a hot topic of conversation.“

GET YOUR SWAG ON

The other night, I was absentmindedly browsing through

YOUTUBE

SCOURING ALL THOSE OFFICIAL VEVO CHANNELS

for a new artist to listen to WORDS BY JAY DE BELEN

t’s probably one of the most effective forms of acquiring new music, mostly because there’s always visual accompaniment. Blogs, publications and written music reviews are all excellent sources for auditory deconstruction and solid recommendations. But, all you’re really seeing are words on a screen. Music videos work in a completely different way – in a sense, the actual song is almost secondary to its video counterpart. Case in point, Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda”: that single would never have gotten that much traction had the song’s image and music video been lackluster. Drake’s awkward facial expressions only added fuel to the fire; his own image

and star power helps, too. Which begs the question: how much does popular music rely on its artist’s image? It’s an argument discussed throughout the history of the entertainment industry. The idea of image and celebrity versus art and hard work has been a hot button issue since video killed the radio star (note: interestingly, I truly believe that internet killed the video star). Image is generally a blanket term for fashion, style, attitude, personality; in the words of Mr. Justin Bieber, image refers to swag. As much as the term is criticized, there no question to its legitimacy in today’s pop music zeitgeist.

Nevertheless, it’s difficult to imagine a shiny new pop star breaking into the scene not looking the part. Would 90’s pop-R&B revivalist Ariana Grande be as popular if she exclusively relied on her pristine, Mariah-esque vocals? Likely not, but her doeeyed Audrey Hepburn meets Lolita image makes her artist package more visually appealing. If Torontonian PBR&B artist The Weeknd didn’t perpetuate his mysterious persona and urban street sense of style, would he have as much followers and fans as he does? Again, likely not, though his first set of mixtapes made rounds around the music blogosphere without anybody knowing what he looked like. But, we can chalk that success up to a stroke of great marketing – mind you, marketing falls heavily under the umbrella term of image. Even the current slew of major pop stars keep their eyes and ears open for anything that can brighten up their image. It’s not just the up-and-comers that heavily bolster their image. It’s the reason why we see Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Ciara sitting front row with high-profile fashion bigwigs like Anna Wintour. Pop stars

would be remiss to ignore fashion trends and runway looks; fashion is one of the biggest components of an image conscious artist. Click any six figure view count on YouTube, and you’ll see what I mean – designer on designer styling. Clearly, today’s generation of entertainers and viewers are living on a different plane when it comes to sartorial image. In the 21st century rise of social media, with the smaller windows of privacy and global access to practically everything, coalesce into fashion and music’s current relationship. At least within pop music, image and music cannot be separated. Most people are visual learners, and a barrage of pretty colours and silhouettes are bound to catch anybody’s attention. As mentioned before, the music almost becomes secondary to style. It may not mean that style trumps substance, because an unbearable song by an attractive artist and with a great music video is still an unbearable song. But, the power of a welldressed pop star can’t hold a candle to a musical slob.
