PUBLISHER’S LETTER March - The White Issue

hile snow is falling, blanketing and storming over many parts of the U.S. right now, San Diego remains cool and calm like always—pushing us to break the winter mold—though by all accounts, it hardly feels like winter at all. The chic patterns and textures of fall fashions lay way to fresh perspective in 2014, with an emphasis on
transformation, blossoming, turning a new leaf as we approach the spring. We celebrate this spirit with our White Issue of FINE magazine, exploring romance and unique trends perfect for seasonal parties or one very dramatic entrance into a room. Hit the studio with Joyce Giraud, for an exclusive jewelry showcase and interview with the former Miss Puerto Rico. Explore the history of art deco designs or fresh footwear for men. Learn about the cooler colors of men’s fashion and icy trends in polished silver. And don’t forget the food! Make every occasion one to remember with special dishes delivered to your door. All this and more inside this issue of FINE magazine. God Bless,

Design History Erté Fine Jewelry By: Marie Taggart
The Inspiration Known the world over as Erté, Romain de Tirtoff is often called the father of Art Deco. Erté Fine Jewelry is a heritage brand based on Erté’s creative reproductions and artistic archive—featuring a fusion of the curvilinear designs of Art Nouveau with the modern geometrical designs of Cubism. Aside from a heavy hand in the fashion industry, Erté’s legacy has been one of elegance and timeless beauty.
“The three graces of a woman are beauty, charm and elegance. The most important of them is elegance.” —Erté
The Legacy Erté’s career spanned over 70 years, from blossoming in the 1920s to ending by virtue of his death in 1990. As the widely acknowledged master of Art Deco in the 1920s and ‘30s, he created exuberantly fanciful costumes in his Paris studio for Anna Pavlova, Mrs. William Randolph Hearst and Josephine Baker.

CONQUER YOUR CLOSET Before you dive in, gather what you need. 1 Time Time: Take at least two to four hours. If you are rushed, then you will end up frustrated and half-finished.
2 A Clean Room A clean room: Make your bed, put away your laundry and start with a blank slate.
3 A Mirror A full-length mirror: Try on and examine clothing combinations to determine what looks best.
4 Trash Bags Use heavy-duty bags that are best for packing up and moving out throwaways and giveaways.

The Explanation. very day, whether we want them to or not, our clothes make a statement about who we are, and they have the power to affect our body language and how we feel.
How many times have you purchased a new outfit and, as a result, physically felt a
shift in your demeanor? It’s crazy how a great-fitting pair of jeans can affect us.
In light of this, it’s important to put a little effort into planning your wardrobe.
But this doesn’t mean going out and purchasing a bunch of random pieces to fill your closet.
Despite what many might believe, having more clothes doesn’t necessarily mean having more choices.
More often than not, an unorganized closet that gets built up year after year just ends up
leaving us feeling overwhelmed. Faced with this mess, our closets progressively fill with pieces that we don’t ever wear, as we instead grab that familiar shirt-and-pants combination.
In this way, a smaller number of well-thought-out clothing items can actually mean you end up
wearing more outfit combinations.
You want your wardrobe to work for you.
5 Organizing Supplies Try matching hangers and storage bins, such as the clear variety that you can store under the bed or on closet shelves.
Your closet should help put together an outfit that makes you feel confident and comfortable,
and that makes a positive impression on others.
If your wardrobe doesn’t do this for you, it’s time to rebuild it properly into one that embodies
your sense of fashion, contains all your essentials and comes across as modern and exciting. What is the best way to get there? Edit, plan, and shop.

The Edit. Step 1 Store the easy items like winter clothing, pieces with sentimental value and special-occasion wear.
Step 2 Decide what stays. In order to determine what you should keep and what you should eliminate, ask yourself: 1. Have I worn this outfit in the last year? 2. Does it fit me? 3. Do I have a lot of similar pieces? 4. Is it worn out? 5. Is it outdated? 6. Do I feel good when I wear it? 7. Does it enhance the way I look? Answering such questions frankly should help you clarify which clothing items you are willing to part with and which items you think are still working for you.
Step 3 Take out the remaining clothes and sort them. Pull everything from your closet and drawers, and organize the items into groups.
Step 4 Trash the throwaways. 28 FINEsd.com | facebook.com/FINEmagazines
The Plan. After editing, follow these Wardrobe Rules for all major fashion buys 1. Be blunt about your lifestyle, only purchasing what you love and what makes you feel confident. Your clothes should be in sync with your lifestyle. If you are a woman who spends her day moving in 30 various directions, then a wardrobe of skirts and six-inch pumps is probably not the best choice. 2. Stick to a color theme. This allows for ideal mixing and matching, which keeps your clothing feeling fresh. 3. Choose quality over quantity. Buy less but buy the best, whatever your “best� is. Expensive yet poorly-fitting clothing is a waste. After you have abided by these basic guidelines, get your core pieces, such as a pencil skirt, blazer, little black dress, etc., in place, and then indulge in purchasing more fun and on-trend pieces.

Cool & Casual
Don’t be afraid to express the cooler shades of spring with these San Diego inspired looks.
Accessory Matters
Be Bold
Try matching the color of your belt with the color of your shoes. Light brown leather looks amazing with this coastal blue blazer.
Trending on the runway were shades of pink and rose. This seasonal shade isn’t just for the ladies. Embrace new colors in your wardrobe like this soft, rose colored blazer and white slacks.
Get Square Regardless of the season, a pocket square is always a classy touch. But the texture and color should never be too similar to your tie. Ditch the tie and pair blue stripes with a sea-foam green blazer.

Spring Fashion
REVIEW
By Nicole Lawrence
2014
Standout looks from Milan & Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2014
Valentino
An impromptu visit to the Rome Opera
workshops triggered the imaginations of Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli
to create another breathtaking Valentino
collection. But where their particular brand of style typically speaks to the upper echelons of the world’s most glamorous women, the creative directors moved in a new direction
this season. Blending two worlds—opera with street, stage with city—Valentino’s characteristic kind of grand scale opulence
was present in the collection, but there
was also a purity present in the collection’s elegant lines, as well as a real sense of ease
and youthfulness that ran through. A globalchic collection, the regal embellishments and ladylike silhouettes brought a romantic take
to Paris Fashion Week, as Chiuri and Piccioli set a new standard in their tenure here as ready-to-wear designers.
34 FINEsd.com | facebook.com/FINEmagazines
Dolce & Gabbana
Dolce & Gabbana’s signature Sicilian glamour was given a generous dose of dazzle and sparkle
this
season.
A
collection
that
oozed luxury, it was an imaginary journey, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana said,
to rediscover ancient Sicily. To start, simple silk dresses, printed in sepia hues with post-
pretty crumbling columns, Greek temples and theaters. Later, the designers’ archaeological
dig also brought up ancient gold coins, which were blown up to the size of tea plates and jointed together to make impressive waist
cinchers, or chain-mailed into a jingling
minidress (not exactly a theme you would
expect from a company struggling with financial troubles). And what spring collection would be complete without florals? Sicilian almond blossoms in 3D collaged sheer gowns that revealed delectable lace undergarments. Finally, when every model stepped out in gold—from lace to other fabrics encrusted
in faceted crystals, or crafted in laser-cut leather—it was jaw-dropping.
[continued on page 36]

[continued from page 35]
Elie Saab
Elie Saab found inspiration for his collection
with the notion of a “lace garden.” The designer’s
signature
romanticism
and
feminine embellishments were in full bloom
with botanic prints and lace trimmings garnishing everything from tops to gowns.
The color palette also reflected an outdoorsy sentiment with a blend of red, rose and
verdant green. But not everything in the
collection was light and ethereal. The Saab women got glam in the final portion of the
collection, which introduced black, evoking a midnight seduction in full skirts and bustier tops nipped at the waist. No matter
if one prefers ballooning, loose, free-flowing
silhouettes, cinched-at-the-waist pieces, long
and slinky or lingerie-inspired dresses, Saab
showed 60 options to please just about any woman.
Roberto Cavalli
Roberto Cavalli likes his women confident, glamorous, powerful and with a wild side. This
season
his
collection,
titled
“The
Projection of a Dream,” was inspired by the
cinematography of the silver screen, in a projection of femininity. While a handful
of patterns came into play, the focus was
on a subdued color palette of white, black, mint, blush pink, and gold, intensified by an onslaught of alluring textures. Fantastic fur,
light catching beads and open-weave designs all made an appearance, as did tasseled fringe and sparkling sequins, presented in long and loose silhouettes.

Alexander Wang
The bumping ’90s hip-hop sound track
foreshadowed the collection of Alexander
Wang, inspired by ’90s street wear and
logomania. Menswear was the jumping-off point of the collection, with classic suiting
being used in everything from spaghettistrapped slip dresses to the waistbands of
leather shorts. He even included boxers as
street wear. Developing his own version of ’90 s’ logomania, Wang’s genius laser-cut
branding was another highlight of his show, branding dresses, waistbands and jackets
with graphic blocky font; the branding was even cut up the side of elbow-length gloves. But the crowd favorite seems to have been
his tongue-in-cheek tops (specifically, a sheer
sweater) that had parental advisory labels
across the breast areas—paying homage to the rebellious ’90s of hard-core rock, youth and everything that is edgy and cool.

he was taller than I thought she would be as she walked up the studio stairs with her husband and young son. Dressed in all black,
draped flowing fabrics surrounding her, she might have been tall but she was every bit as graceful as one might expect from a pageant queen.

As she kissed her son and husband adios, her Latin accent seemed tinged with sadness—she would not be joining them on their play date in San Diego as she would have to sit around all day and be fabulous for photographer Marissa Boucher. Don’t get it twisted, it’s hard work to be beautiful, a truth Joyce knows all too well. Irony has a funny way of expressing itself in adulthood. “When I was a kid, they didn’t have a label for it,” she explained. They would just call it teasing. They would call me ‘olive oil’ or make fun of how thin I was—can you believe I’ve been this tall since I was 12 years old?” She sat across from me in hair curlers, her nose a little pink from what was apparently a cold she was trying to smile through with some positive [continued on page 48]
