Understanding your body is the key to looking good and a trait found amongst all impeccably dressed fashionistas. While people shy away from talking about their bodies, these brave souls explain how they work their anatomies to their advantage
FEBRUARY 23-29 2020

How would you describe your body type? I have a lean and broad structure with the tendency to gain weight. Has your body type changed over the last five years? I have had extreme phases. From being underweight and extremely skinny to now putting on a healthy amount of weight which I think suits my body. How has your style changed over the years? Growing up I’d always wear colours that looked good on my skin tone. I have a tan complexion so I’d always opt for simpler clothes and just be super boring with what I wore but over the years I’ve developed serious love for experimenting with new things, colours and styles. The more I experiment, the more I find out what looks good on me and I’d suggest everyone to do that. My style (now) is more fusion and bold and always a mix and match of all sorts of things from everyone’s wardrobe at home. How do you dress your body according to your body type? I can’t give a definite answer to this honestly because I’ve never put any thought into how I’m dressing according to my body type. However, I do avoid wearing super loose dresses without a belt on the waist otherwise I end up looking huge. Besides that, if you feel good in what you’re wearing then all is well. In your opinion what is the biggest mistake a person can make while dressing? I’ll touch upon something which people shy away from talking and that is picking the wrong under garments for your clothes. Having seamless underwear’s for your skirts, pants, dresses is very important if you don’t want your panty lines to be shown. Same goes for bras. There’s a specific kind for every type of clothing. Educate yourself in order to avoid any fashion mishaps. Secondly, when you try to force a fashion trend

on yourself it shows! Wear what you’re comfortable in and you’ll look wonderful. Trust me on that one. Set your own trends. Also, when dressing up know that sometimes less is more so don’t go overboard with the accessories and layering. Know when to stop. In your opinion, what is your most troublesome area? My waist and arms- Unfortunately more than half of my pants don’t fit me anymore but I’m working on it. My face also tends to suck some of the fat from my body and hence the double chin, which is also caused due to the constant attention my phone, gets from me. There’s no looking up for hours. Which silhouettes suit your body the most? A well fitted silhouette gives my body the shape it needs and adds a curve here and there depending on the item of clothing I’m wearing. A well fitted bell bottom gives my already long legs an illusion of being longer, a well fitted dress gives me curves in all the right places and defines my waist pretty well. What is the one piece of clothing that you shy away from wearing and why? I don’t think there’s a single item I’d shy away from wearing. Unless it doesn’t match my aesthetics and taste, of course. Whatever clothing I buy brings me excitement and I automatically imagine myself wearing it in plenty of different ways. I’ve learnt to feel comfortable in everything over the years and I realised if I’m not going to try it now how will I ever know if it works for me or not? Have a piece of clothing nobody is willing to wear? Hand it over to me and watch me make it work.

Ethereal
Ethereal is a luxury salon that offers beauty and wellness services that ranges from haircuts, styling, colour treatments and make-up for every occasion. Junaid Khan and Inzar Fawzy are known to provide their clients with fashionforward hair styling and make-up services. Read on to find out all about their journey.
What inspired you to come into the beauty and hair industry and how has your journey been so far? Inzar: Junaid and I, always find an unexplainable fascination with grooming people around us in any way that can enhance their beautiful personalities. With such mutuality of interests, I think it was only natural that we found ourselves dwelling into creating something of our own. As for our experience, Ethereal gave us a platform to unleash an instant and everlasting release of our creative energies. It has been a catharsis of sorts which has brought us indefinable pleasures. This field is vast, and competition is immense. To see our clients giving us their loyalties every single time they cross the threshold of Ethereal is perhaps the most fulfilling experience of our lives. What are some of the make-up and hair trends that your salon is offering? Junaid: We offer all the latest trends in hair and make-up. We conduct detailed consultation with the client as to determine their requirements. We also advise about the suitability of the trend according to the client’s own profile. As for me, carbon black smokey eyes and melted baylage are FEBRUARY 23-29 2020

my favourite looks for this season.
What is your greatest professional and personal strength?
How is Ethereal different from any other salon in the city? Inzar: Ethereal is different in three ways: (1) Ethereal is not a salon, it is, what I dearly call, a school. At Ethereal, we don’t turn up every day to “make up” our clients. That would be beyond boring. We come here with a burning desire to learn every single time. We aspire to create standards, not merely follow them. (2) We don’t see our clients merely as our customers, but as our large extended family. Once you step inside Ethereal, we ensure (and our client-cumfamily-members would testify) that your stay is as relaxing and natural as it would be in the midst of your own home, your own family. We are not in a competition to become the best money-minting franchise, rather to become the most comfortable outdoor space in this city when it comes to salon industry. (3) Having spent my whole life in this industry, I can tell you by experience that for the quality of our services we provide we are highly underpriced. For the same quality and experience, if we asked for two or three times more than we actually do, we would be well within the practices that are prevalent nowadays.
Junaid: My professional strength is definitely my dedication and enthusiasm towards my work, and I think that really is one of my personal strengths as well. Dedication, however, requires a lot of patience (as a stylist) when it comes to dealing with different clients. So you can say that where dedication is my strength in both professional and personal life, its patience that helps me to go on every day.
What is your area of expertise? Junaid: My expertise is in hair colour, cuts and make-up. What are the challenges that come with your job? Inzar: Just like any other profession that entails public dealing, road can at times become bumpy. Humans differ in their our temperaments. At Ethereal, however, our mantra is: Customer is always right. If there is some issue, we must be the ones sacrificing instead of it being the other way around. Also, it’s a non-stop job. There is no holiday. In fact, holidays of all are the busiest of days for us. Sometimes that can be really challenging given how family time is affected by it. However, to be fair, if I undertake a cost-benefit analysis, benefits would surpass costs by some distance.

FEBRUARY 23-29 2020
In your opinion, what social stigma related to beauty does society need to get over? Inzar: I actually believe that our society is evolving for the better, particularly when it comes to the beauty industry. Over the course of my life in this industry, I have seen a genuine transformation in people’s interest in the notion of beautifying themselves. There is a whole stratum of society now that considers it to be a part and parcel of their existence to maintain themselves and the standards they personally aspire for, and I think that’s absolutely amazing. After all, who doesn’t appreciate beauty, how may ever one might define it? I am not saying there are no stigmas left. While there is an ever-increasing proportion of populace attracted towards maintaining a lifestyle in which grooming is central, there is a counter-faction which still deems anything concerning beauty as unnecessarily ornamenting oneself and thus indulging in excessiveness, even sin. I think that’s utterly parochial. In appreciating beauty, one is seeking to follow God. After all, doesn’t He love beauty? He does! I strongly believe that the greater exposure, this industry will only become a household thing for all, if it hasn’t become as yet. What is the most gratifying part about your job? Junaid and Inzar: Winning over the loyalties of our clients through sheer quality of our work is definitely the single most gratifying aspect of our job. Seeing that sheen on their faces every time they find themselves to be “stunning” and ready to post tens of pictures on Instagram is a joy beyond any other.

Justin Bieber admits to being ‘reckless’ in relationship with Selena Gomez Justin Bieber, who dated singer-actress Selena Gomez on-and-off for years, has spoken about his past mistakes. According to Entertainment Tonight, during an interview with IANS, while talking about his new album, Changes, and a song that’s about true love, Bieber was asked about knowing he needed time to work on himself before he took things further with Hailey Bieber. “I’d let her know prior to the tour when we were hanging a lot. I said, ‘Listen, I’m still really hurt and still trying to figure out my way, and I’m not ready to make a commitment to you in a way that… I just don’t want to say something and do the opposite’,” he recalled telling Hailey. “Because I was at the point where I’d done that in the past. And I just was honest with her, I was like, ‘I’m not in a place to be faithful’, and all this sort of stuff, that I wanted to be, but I just wasn’t there yet.” The singer also spoke about his past relationship. “Before that, in my previous relationship, I went off and just went crazy and went wild, just was being reckless,” he said.
