Reset a view for the T wenty twenty has been a difficult year for the entire world. It’s been a year of struggles yet unity, losses yet determination and most importantly gratitude and heaps of reflection. COVID-19 has certainly left its mark and touched each and every one of our lives. We’ve learnt to sacrifice our freedom for the greater good of others and unite when the worse case scenario is put in our hands. With all the sadness that has engulfed us all, we have shown determination to keep ourselves safe and hope to one day return to our ‘normal’. We have praise our NHS and their astonishing work more than ever before and learnt to never take our everyday lives for granted. It’s never been more important to look after ourselves as well as others. With the uncertainty and confusion of being amongst a global pandemic it’s a little bit of respite which can make a huge difference. Me time, can be anything from sitting and having 20 minutes of quiet time to yourself, reading a book that’s sparked your interest, cooking a hearty meal you love, or soaking off the day in a warm

Sophie says.....
new year! change may disrupt our already strained reality. With this many have found the joy in simplicity and been draw into appreciating life itself, such as our natural surroundings, spending time with the loved ones we live with, and having some much needed R&R, guilt free. All of which are free and fulfilling. Many have taken to being creative and experimental during the long periods of time we’ve had in our homes. From banana bread mayhem to fledgling businesses and adapting the things we love, such as socialising and eating out, to work within the new norm. Showing initiative and being innovative this year has been a task for us all, and one of great triumph. Keeping morale and optimism alive has been the key to ensuring spirits are maintained. Video calling friends and family has been a life line for many. And the small acts of kindness from our nearest and dearest make more of a difference than we could of ever imagined. Seeing amazing people raise money for the NHS and the local causes reflects how in times of need people pull together. And the prospect of a safe vaccine

Optimize your new 2021!
being rolled out across the country has lightened the mood of the elderly and young alike. 2021 is inevitable, but so is the fact that after every bad storm, a rainbow is to follow; therefore 2021 looks to be the most colourful year yet, with a new found prospective, gratitude and appreciation for the lives we live and the people we share them with.

A
fter what some have described as one of the most challenging years in the world’s history, it would be surprising not to reflect on 2020 within the context of fresheye magazine. Apocalypse is one word that has been duly banded about. In our interview with Artist Charlie Edwards on Youtube, fresheye utilized the word apocalypse to encapsulate what was quite simply a mind-boggling period, to say the least. In true form to the magazine fresheye continued to express its content with an emphasis on the creative and colourful. The aim was not to get too caught up with the bleak and highlight the continuing movement of all things luxurious. Not least to elevate the pursuit of lifestyle with wellbeing at the heart. It is true to say that during challenging economic times, luxury seemingly has a resilience apportioned to its DNA. Evidence
supports that during testing times, shopping trends can partly be directed toward more expensive items for reasons of longevity. So, in light of a five years in content publishing, we at fresheye are overjoyed to be bringing you yet more engaging articles. Come pandemic or high water, it is apparent that the expression of the human spirit is a power that we can all engage with. We applaud and encourage such an engagement that inspires more creativity and the appreciation of artistic endeavour. With that in mind, we will bring you more new brands, more colourful photography, more engaging articles, and celebrate the classics. As mentioned fresheye is now on YouTube. Look out for great content as well as the ISSUU platform. Here at fresheye Magazine we wish you a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. Long may you enjoy the magazine! X

How to be an actor Dusting yourself off and getting back up.
A
laid-back actor who stood out from Hollywood stereotypes with his down-to-earth charm and fun-loving lifestyle, he is the exact opposite of his image behind the scenes, using his strong work ethic to carve out a vibrant career marked with a number of quality performances. Matthew David McConaughey is an American actor and producer. He first gained notice for his supporting performance in the comingof-age comedy Dazed and Confused, this was considered by many to be his breakout role. Fun and film in 1999, McConaughey made headlines for his comical arrest for disturbing the peace and possession of cannabis: he was found in his home loudly playing bongos naked late in the night. While accepting the subsequent ridicule, McConaughey starred in one of his more popular films, “The Wedding Planner” (2001), and followed up with a darker turn in the serial killer thriller “Frailty” (2002). After a pair of disappointing showings with “Sahara” (2005) and “We are Marshall” (2008), McConaughey received some of the best notices of his career
as “The Lincoln Lawyer” (2011), a film that began a rebound some wags dubbed “the McConnaisance,” which culminated in a Best Actor Oscar for his role in “Dallas Buyers Club” (2013). A memorable supporting role in Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street” (2013), the lead role in Christopher Nolan’s questioning science fiction drama “Interstellar” (2014). Character Seek out any recent YouTube Zoom interview with The McConaughey and discover a man that genuinely pocesses a well travelled life. A life which demonstrates an ability to question and re-route in order to find new direction. He has learned that falling, getting up and dusting yourself off repeatedly isn’t were the rewards lie. He sees introspective navigation more valuable. Book Greenlights is a book Matthew McConaughey. It was published on October 20, 2020, by the Crown imprint of Crown Publishing Group. The book includes stories and insights from McConaughey’s life in chronological order. It has been described as a memoir but McConaughey has called it an “approach book”.
Film Before shooting the Dazed scene, McConaughey said he was listening to a “live Doors album” and found himself loving frontman Jim Morrison’s between-song rant of consecutive “all right, all right, all right, all right.” Left: Scene fro the movie Intersteller. Right: Raucous stories and outlaw wisdom from the Academy Award-winning actor by Matthew McConaughey.

Chanel Ready S/S 2021
T
he Chanel show set, in Paris’s soaring Grand Palais, spelled the brand’s name in giant letters, evoking the iconic Hollywood sign in the Santa Monica mountains. Did this suggest that creative director Virginie Viard was thinking of the movies? “Less movies than actresses,” Viard explained, and particularly the modern life of actresses, from the high production values of the red carpet, to a staged off-duty look whilst getting a Starbucks in the certain knowledge that a paparazzo might be lurking in the parking lot, “the whole process!”
fresh eye
Meanwhile, the accompanying movie teasers, produced by Inez and Vinoodh, literally brought Paris to Tinseltown, with the Sacre Coeur nestled proudly in those Hollywood Hills—symbolic of Viard’s marriage of Parisian cool with very laid-back, L.A. style. The house of Chanel of course has a century-old relationship with actresses, as the recently opened exhibition “Gabrielle Chanel: Fashion Manifesto” at Paris’s dedicated fashion museum the Palais Galliera (intelligently curated by Miren Arzalluz) revealed. www.chanel.com

Show shoes: Woven slingback sandals – the kind Schneider might have worn in La Piscine – were paired with multiple looks, lending a French-girl summer insouciance to the proceedings. Elsewhere, Viard brought back heeled T-bar sandals reminiscent of a style Keira Knightley, a face of the house, used to favour, back when she frequented the red carpet on the regular.

Handwriting The collection isa love letter to cinema – and life on the other side of the velvet rope. “I was thinking about actresses at the photocall, on the red carpet, that moment when they’re being called to by the photographers: their faces a little distracted, their attitude a little out of sync with the outfits they’re wearing,” said Virginie Viard. “This very lively side to cinema that happens beyond cinema.” In other words: life on the other side of the velvet rope, and one which Chanel has always had a big hand in defining.

Fashion Amongst all the feather-dusted gowns and trailing plumes of chiffon were some surprises: bubblegum pink denim, for one. Amongst pink denim jackets and quilted bags, Jill Kortleve showed off the high-waisted pink jeans to their best advantage, paired with a black bralette (another major trend for spring), a sheer cape and with a mini Chanel bag strung on a quilted chain strap around her waist. Note, too, the return of the Chanel T-bar sandals.
Quote Virginie Viard took the opportunity to hammer home the house codes. “This collection is a tribute to the muses of the house,� she said.

Jewellery highlight Needing to spruce up a tired T-shirt? Layer up Chanel pearls and chains. As for a classic black pencil skirt? Try a pearl-and-rhinestone-studded chain belt slung across the hips. Chain-link leather chokers are easy-chic partners for black off-the-shoulder dresses, and a cream tweed short suit really should be worn with bows adorning the pockets, and a mini bag on a string of pearls dangling from the neck.

Commitment to glamour Refusing to bow to potential pressure to reveal a collection entirely made of Chanel loungewear for all those double-C customers in plush lockdown situations, Viard sent out gowns destined for the red carpet, and the red carpet only. The first look out was a floor-length dress with an asymmetric neckline, paired with heels and a netted hair piece, with bows at the wrists. Elsewhere there were tweed and chiffon creations sporting a key detail and a micro trend we’ve seen elsewhere this season: cape detailing, which wafted in statesmanlike fashion behind models as they walked.

Liverpool loves... W The unlikely style capital by Dennis Sterne.
e love you Liverpool we do, Oh Liverpool we love you’ - goes the football chant. Liverpool loves football. It has some partiality toward fashion too. In truth, it loves fashion so much, it has the annual Liverpool Fashion fest in tribute.
Music The Beatles were the original boy band. For most international superstar sensations, fashion is an integral part of achieving success. The Beatles’ manager, Brian Epstein, realised this early on and cleaned up shop by plucking the Fab Four out of a dated world of ‘50’s leather jackets and greasy hair. When The Beatles took the world stage in the 1960s, they had a never-before-seen juxtaposition of smart suits and shaggy hair. The popular mop-top was just as much of a cultural revolution as the new pop-rock sound of the band itself. The delectable ‘do even reached illegal status in
communist Brezhnev Russia for its rebellious statement of dishevelled dapperness. Rebecca Ferguson (overleaf) was born in Anfield, Liverpool, England. The singer, 33, is best known for appearing on The X Factor back in 2010 where she finished in second place. She has teamed up with Nile Rodgers on new music and their collaboration was something she says she ‘needed’, after turning her back on music.
Sport Steven Gerrard (former Liverpool FC star) is well known for his exploits on the pitch - but now he’s turned his attention elsewhere and has created a clothing range.The Liverpool FC legend has produced his first fashion range called SGG Apparel. The collection is inspired by his own signature style and the refined lad culture look synonymous with Liverpool menswear.

In addition WRAP UK, a charity fighting for sustainability, estimates that 350,000 tonnes of clothing ends with a value of £140million ends up in landfill in Britain each year. Sustainable fashion production in Merseyside is still in its early days with a small number of brands committed to reducing the environmental damage that fast fashion is having on the planet.

What is IPA?
Understanding your beer the IPA way.
“I
I hate IPAs. They’re bitter.” “I love IPAs. They have so much alcohol in them.” Those are the two most common things said about IPAs, and neither of them are really true. Not all IPAs are bitter, and not all IPAs have a ton of booze in them. You can’t throw a blanket statement over an extremely broad style of beer. It’s an unfair simplification. But whether you fall on the love or the hate (check yourself) side of this relationship, there’s one thing we can’t deny: IPAs are here to stay. But what do you actually know about IPAs? IPAs come in a range of styles, and the modern approach to hoppy beer isn’t a declaration of bitterness, but a beer that explores the world of fruity flavors that can also come from hops. Here’s everything you need to know about the IPA, from vocabulary to style breakdowns to the breweries doing them right. IPA Styles These are classification categories for IPAs. A “style” means that an ingredient in the brewing process or technique (or both) lends a certain flavor, mouthfeel, or appearance to the beer that is always true for the style.
fresh eye
Beer
The IPA was invented in Britain: British sailors, while sailing to India, loaded up barrels of beer with hops, because hops were a preservative. The hops hung around in the beer for so long that they lost their fruity flavor and left a bitter tasting beer. So…British IPAs are malty, bitter, and onenoted. They aren’t the most popular style today, but it’s important to know one when you see it.
fresheyecourses.com
Pouring IPAs in a glass, instead of drinking them from a can, release all those lovely hop aromas.
