his time of year divides most people into two categories, mourners or cheerleaders. A wierd description, but true. You’re either excited about Fall and it’s sister Winter. Or you’re grieving their cousins Spring and Summer. The reasoning is quite simple. Most of us who get to experience all the seasons really understand how amazing Fall and Winter are. It’s the chance to start over. In Fall and Winter, everything changes. There are different clothes, foods and decor. It seems everything changes to accommodate this atmospheric change. Fall and Winter are about layering. If you live where there’s a significant change in the weather, you learn to layer. If you live some place where the weather change is minor, you add a couple of sweaters, ligtheweight jacket, a pair of booties and a couple of pairs of tights to your wardrobe. You become well versed in how to convert your Spring Summer wardrobe into a Fall Winter one, because at any given moment, it will be 80 degrees.

Editor’s Desk

This will probably become our favorite issue because of the work involve in putting it together. WIth just a few days to go before publishing, the hard drive crashed before the issue could be saved. I hear the sighs. We only had a few things saved and the issue wasn’t one of them. Then we discovered most of the downloads we had received were lost. I shouldn’t say lost, because we believe everything on the drive will be recovered. So we went into full memory recovery. I think we got everything. In spite of what happened, I think the issue is even better. If it hadn’t been for the mishap, we wouldn’t have gotten Azzedine Alaia Retrospective. It blew me away. In our quest to showcase up and coming designers, we are excited to introduce our readers to Emilia Wickstead and Delpozo. Emilia Wickstead is Modern Lady Like...very chic and sophisticated. Delpozo is a mix of fashion adjectives...quirky, feminine, bold, delicate and fun. Our cover is famed illustrator Megan Hess. She has worked with some of fashion’s biggest names in addition to doing the covers for several of Candace Bushnell’s books. We can’t forget the men. We have a great questionnaire from Parfum Composer Ramon Monegal. Not only is he a composer of scent, he’s also a poet. The second man in the issue is cobbler Diego Vanssaibra. His shoes are fascinating. He’s taking traditional shapes and transposed them with wood. They’re incredible and only for men. The other find is Indie Lee. Her beauty company is proof most businesses are birthed out of need. We discovered most of our hotel features are boutique style hotels. Very cool. It got us thinking...why not features these little gems. It’s not official, but look to see more of these little treasures.

Happy Fall and enjoy our little baby...

PINK Pad Matchy Matchy Matchy There was a time when no self-respecting lady left home without her shoes and handbag matching. Something happened and the fashion rules changed. The Matchy, Matchy, Matchy rule disappeared. Like most thigs in fashion, what goes around, comes around. Now matching your shoes to your bag is a chic dressing rule.

ALAÏA...if you don’t know the name, you don’t know fashion. AZZEDINE ALAÏAS creations are what other labels aspire to be. He is the creator of the “Sexy” dress. The Palais Galliera is celebrating their renovated galleries and the Matisse Room at the Músee d’Art moderne de la Villa de Paris, with a retrospective honoring Tunisian designer Azzedine Alaïa. The exhibit is comprised seventy iconic one-off pieces tracing his legendary career. He has created gowns for some of the most famous and beautiful women in the world. ..Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Louise de Vilmorin, Arletty and Greta Garbo. It was his friend Thierry Mugler that encouraged him to present his first collection in 1979. His knowledge and use of fabric sculpting basicly recreates a woman’s body. Making her just as breath-taking as the garment. A lover of the opposite sex, he likes to say, “I make clothes, women make fashion.” Inventing new shapes out of the simple mix of fabrics and stitchings is what makes his work timeless. Owning an Alaïa piece is owning art, which is just as valuable as any painting or sculpture.

delp Fall

pozo 2013

Madrid is showing that not only they flourishing with handsome men,, they are also booming in the the fashion. DELPOZO isn’t really new, but reborn. Founded in 1974, by it’s namesake founder Jesús del Pozo, the Madrid based label is establishing roots in the United States. Under the creative leadership of Josep Font, the label is becoming one of the fashion world’s darlings. The Fall Winter collection abandons straight lines for roses, bias-cut frills and kimono sleeves; the garments are filled with embroidery, flowers and prints which bring rhythm to the collection, with tones which go from fuchsia or vermillion to green or white, creating new combinations. The collection is delicately feminine draped in architecutural expression. The Delpozo woman is playful and strong in the day and romantic and sexy at night. It’s the perfect blend of the feminine persona. This season also marks the opening of the the Madrid Flagship. It’s a unique space that embodies everything about the brand and it’s essence. Although it’s minialist in it’s design, the richness of the main four elements [glass, brass, stone and wood] speak volumes. The store is like the clothes: warm, bold, feminine and oozing with personality. DELPOZO is a legendary brand loudly announcing it’s return to the fashion world.

INDIE natural solution LEE Most small businesses are birthed out of need. INDIE LEE is proof of that statement. In April 2009 Indie Lee woke up from successful surgery with a new lease on life. She had been battling a life threatening brain tumor. Convinced it was the result of environmental toxins, she made a startling revelation... what you put on your body was just as important as what you put it in. Bam...a business concept was just born. It was at that point she dove into creating an all natural skincare line. Not only did she want it to be all-natural, it had to be sophisticated as well.

alternative of products to battle some of the common skin conditions that most women find themselves dealing with... including rosacea, blemishes, and dry skin.Indie is committed to shopping from the Earth’s organic pharmacy for her ingredients. She you won’t be confused or hav difficulty reading her ingredient list. It almost reads like a grocery list...beeswax, honey, sugar and oatmeal. Then there are the emollients (such as avocado oil, lavender oil, jojoba oil, and coconut oil) for a chic finish. Indie Lee products are specially formulated to be toxin frr, health conscious and very glamorous.

This month the line will be expanding with the addition of the Rosehip Cleanser (at far left) and the Squalane Facial Cream (at left). Both products contain only natural ingredients. The Rosehip Cleanser gently removes INDIE LEE launched in makeup and impurities with an indulgent, yet gentle 2010. It’s a gorgeous natural rinse.

Favorite Designer?

Your story is amazing. If it hadn’t been for your health challenge, do you think you would have started your company? Why?

Thank you, I’d like to think that I would have, but the brain tumor was truly a wakeup call for me. There is so much work to be done in this industry and I am so appreciative that I found myself here, even with the path I had to take. Having a doctor tell you that your tumor was likely caused by environmental toxins was truly a revelation that changed my entire life and path.

Does your business ever feel like a job or does it always feel like your passion? Why? It has always felt like a passion without a doubt. Even passion can have ups and down, but I’ve never considered it a job.

What’s next for the brand?

Expansion through international and national distribution, the debut of a new line of products for 2014, and even more product development beyond that! This is just the beginning!

RAMÓN MONEGAL fragrance composer

You are what you eat. The same can be said for your fragrance. You are how you smell. Selecting a signature fragrance is something most people never give any thought to. Some make their selection by the packaging. Some choose based on the name. Some because their favorite celebrity has endorsed it. Some because it’s the first fragrance their mother sprayed on them or because it reminds them of their grandmother (grandfather). Whatever your reasoning is behind the fragrance you wear, we invite you to close your eyes, take a whiff and aske yourself, “Does this smell like me?” Ramón Monegal is a fragrance composer or Nose. What an amazing job to be the person who gets tos spend their time absorbing all the beautiful organic treasures of the earth. Then you have the privilege of marrying these properties into beautiful expressions. It’s takes great skill, talent and love to want to take on such a huge responsibility. Think about it. The scent you wear is more powerful than you can imagine. It’s a person’s scent

that is often what makes a lasting first impression. It’s your calling card. Ramón Monegal comes from a long and distinguished line of the most important perfumers in Barcelona and Spain. He represents the fourth generation of the founders of the house of Myrurgia, which was the official purveyor of the Spanish Royal Family, and the most important international perfumer in Spain. His training began back in 1972 at Myrurgia, where he submerged himself completely and became intimate with the most essential of scents such as the mythical infusions of amber, tonka bean, musk, castoreum, civet and iris. These were the treasured secrets of the house and the key ingredients to the only couture perfumes existing at the time. Monegal’s training continued in Geneva with his mentor, the maître parfumeur Artur Jordi Pey (Firmenich), then in Grasse with Marcel Carles (Roure Bertrand and Argeville) and finally in Paris with Pierre Bourdon (Takasago and Fragrance Resources). In 1979 Ramón Monegal created his first fragrance, Alada. It soon flowered into an unexpected success within the house of Myrurgia, leading the domestic market for decades. From that time on

he took over the artistic management of the house and began to create fragrances for the licenses of Adolfo Dominguez, Antonio Miró, Aigner, Inès de la Fressange, Don Algodon and Massimo Dutti. Myrurgia grew even more in prestige and as a company. In 1985 Monegal joined the board of Myrurgia and later was appointed vice president. In 2000, just as the company reached its peak, Antonio Puig acquired Myrurgia and Ramón Monegal was asked to head the fragrance development of its brands and licenses for the group, which included the new Maison Parfum. In 2007 a shift occured and Myrurgia disappeared and Ramón left. After a little time, he realized it was time to venture out on his own. He took his 30 years of experience and committed to training the next generation of perfumers. In 2009 he took his passion to the next level. His desire was to have his own workshop and create like the perfumers of the golden era, before mass production. His workshop specializes in mixing, maceration, production, control and artistic freedom. It’s the natural language of the craft that elicites the emotions that create a scent and make it the wearer’s signature. It’s magic.

Do you approach your scents from the male perspective on how he wants the woman in his life to smell or do you create with a certain woman in mind?

If it is a personal perfume for a woman, I develop it thinking of highlight her personality preferred securities, with the appropriate ingredients and whether they agree with what her environment or a man expects from her, the better! If it is a collection’s perfume I do not think about gender and just imagine a story of smell that can excite and be remembered, because ultimately a perfume is made credible thanks to the image and attitude of who wears it.

How soon in the relationship should a man buy parfum for the woman in his life?

When the relationship starts, to consolidate or when you want to remember a specific date. We must remember that when we want to terminate a stage and start another one it would be suitable to change of perfume.

Is there such a thing as a casual scent? Formal or special occasion scent?

I think the fragrance defines attitude, so for different times and attitudes, there are better choices than others.

How important is parfum in the role of seduction?

In the art of seduction, the perfume is an additional weapon, but emotionally is one of the most powerful because even being abstract it remains definitely engraved into our olfactory memory, with a unique power of representation. Like I use to say "Perfume announces the presence and remains in the absence"

How do you feel about unisex parfum? Why?

Unisex, male or female are terminology from the modern industry. Historically perfumes have never had gender. Perfume is attitude.

Who are your favorite designers?

I admired Coco Chanel, Cristobal Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent and Halston Roy. Nowadays I also admire the art of Yohi Yamamoto, Issey Miyake, Giorgio Armani and Donna Karan and I leave some of them in the inkwell....

What’s your “uniform”?

Rigorous black from the head to the feet.

If you weren’t creating parfum, you would be...

I would have been architect or cabinetmaker

You relax by...

With Mozart at the piano, with the intimacy of a nap and sailing on a sunny day.

I ask everyone this question, what shade of pink best describes you and why? It would be the pink gray tone NCS - S 0530-R40B, because it is a mature tone while bohemian. Although the smell of rose centifolia would define me best.

Diego Van

nassibara Diego Vanassibara is a cobbler. Not the kind you make with freash fruit, but the kind that crafts fine footwear. His work is unique, classic, contemporary, authentic and stylish. In case you are familiar with Diego’s work, let us help you. He takes classic shapes and modernizes them with an embellishment that has been around since the beginning of time. When most designers are using metal, treated or contrasting leathers, he’s using wood. At first thought, when you mention wood on shoes, you thing clogs. Not that kind of wood. At first glance, you don’t see the wood details, but admire the beautiful shoes. Upon a closer look, the wood draws you in. You find yuorself saying, “How clever.” It’s a subtle statement that takes the shoes from ordinary to extraordinary. The smooth finishes give the illustion of patent leather or a treated leather. He calls it inovative. We call it superb craftsmanship and great fashion. We love that Diego is changing the way men should look at shoes. The shoes are like the men that wear them, suave, stylish, hip and laid back.

www.diegovanassibara.com

diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s questionnaire Espresso or Tea? Tea.

Croissant or toast? Croissant filled with salad and cheese.

I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live without... Having a peaceful mind and hairspray.

iPhone or Blackberry or Samsung Galaxy? Humn... Nokia Lumia?

iPad or Kindle? Haven't owned either.

Do you think women really pay attention to a man's shoes?

Definitely yes. I have heard from lots of women that shoes are the first item in a man's wardrobe that they pay attention to, because they reveal a lot about a man's personality and status. Men in the know and the clever ones have started to notice that.

What are the essentials for a man's shoe wardrobe?

It really depends on his lifestyle. I would, however, argue that the right pair of lace ups does make a difference to most male, and why not also female, wardrobes.

If a man could only afford one good pair of shoes, what do you suggest, loafer, brogue or boot?

Brogues are the type of shoes that offer most longevity and versatility. They are a style of footwear that will work in all seasons. Depending on the climate you can wear them with or no socks or even thicker socks, shorts or trousers, denim or a suit.

Are men as obsessed about shoes as women?

No and I don't blame them. How could they? There haven't been many exciting and desirable shoes for men since the times of Louis XIV. This is about to change, though.

Your favorite pair of shoes are... Lace ups, boots and sandals.

Who are you favorite designers?

Mihara Yasuhiro is someone I admire a lot. I find the Campana Brothers amazing too. They are furniture designers from Brazil.

What’s your “uniform”?

It is an eclectic mix. But my staples are sandals and shorts in the Summer, boots or lace ups paired with high waisted and tapered trousers for Winter, not forgetting my lovely white shirts which I adore.

If you weren’t designing shoes, you would be...

Working as a carnival designer in Rio.

You relax by...

Dancing the night out, laughing with friends and snorkelling in tropical turquoise seas are my three best ways to relax.

I ask everyone this question, what shade of pink best describes you and why?

The Schiaparelli shocking hue. It is vibrant, bright and full of life.

OTEL ECAIMER

Paris

HOTEL RECAMIER is a precious gem hidden behind trees on Place Saint Sulpice in Paris. It took about a year for Sylvie de Lattre and her team to refurbish and redesign the jewel box. Sylvie de Lattre’s hotel adventure started 12 years ago after having spent several years abroad with her family. Having developed other properties, she was still holding onto a dream of a Boutique hotel in Paris. The success of her first project Hotel Verneuil near Saint Germain de Prés, gave her the confidence to do it again with the Hotel Thérése. Three star Hotel Thérése ensconced near the Louvre and Palais Royal is a favorite of journalists, fashion people, models and discerning tourists. Under the design creativity of talented designer Jean Louis Deniot. He designed 24 different room in an eclectic mix of 20th century decorative styles on a “directoire“ basis. Each floor has a colour theme and slight varations: black and white, red, grey/ blue, greyish green, yellow and gold. And the small lounge has been arranged like a garden verandah, with lots of mirrors. The accent has been put on high quality and details: custom designed accessories for the rooms , egyptian cotton towels and bathrobes, Loewe flat screen TV with ipod dock, beautiful and efficient lighting, french perfumer Fragonard toiletries. Making each guest feel special is the rule. An added treat for guests, every afternoon, is complimentary tea and refreshments. The Récamier is more like a home and not a hotel. It is bound to become the confidential new address in Paris.
