Welcome to our biggest issue yet! We’ve got 104 pages of fashion, beauty and amazing visuals prepared for you this time, available 24/7 on your computer, tablet or mobile phone wherever you are. Besides the usual fashion and beauty news, we’ve prepared a rundown of womenswear and menswear trends in this issue including shopping suggestions, so that you don’t have to research yourself and could shop directly from the issue. I personally love Fall because of how versatile you can be with your style, and who doesn’t love layering? Also I wanted to include some features that could be really helpful to a lot of people and hopefully answer some questions. We’ve teamed up with John Lewis Liverpool in order to find that one perfect pair of jeans for any body type (p52). I was really interested to see the results. I’m sure you will be too! Our beauty guru Lucy gives you some great advice about fillers in this issue. She actually went and got them done at The White Rooms clinic here in Liverpool and told the whole story in detail in p77. If you ever thought about getting facial injections, I’m sure you will find this feature really interesting and helpful.

These come alive as woodland jacquard prints on bonded oversized coats, cropped jackets and wide leg trousers, worn with knits or over loose tailoring in shades of toffee and butterscotch. Considered clashes also appear in a baby pink soft shearling coat and jersey sweater teamed with a zebra print, seen in an oversize wrap skir t or trousers reinforcing the collection’s attitude.

PLÙS QUE MA VÌE WORDS: Jurga Skeiryte
Plùs Que Ma Vìe is an Italian menswear fashion brand founded by Andrea Lazzari in 2013. After an internship in the fashion industry, Andrea presented his graduate collection at St. Petersburg fashion week, which led to creating his own brand. We talk to Andrea about the beginnings of Plùs Que Ma Vìe, his ideal client and future plans. WHAT DID IT TAKE TO GET IT STARTED? At the beginning it was impor tant to understand how the fashion business works. I was also aware that I am entering a saturated market in a difficult social and economic period. However, the most impor tant thing for me was believing in my own abilities and a strong need to express my ideals and my own style. It was a risk I took trying to satisfy my ambitions and fulfil my dreams. THE MEANING OF PLÙS QUE MA VÌE I remember lying in bed at night and trying to come up with a brand name and the meaning behind it. Plùs Que Ma Vìe means more than my life. I want people who wear my designs to go beyond the normal and expected, beyond the formal. IDEAL CLIENT My ideal client is a man who is not afraid to express his opinions and wishes at work and in everyday life. A confident man with a strong personality. He likes to invest in clothing because that thrills him. CELEBRITIES One of my goals is to see famous people wearing my brand. If I had to choose celebrities from the music industry I would choose hip hop ar tists like Tyler, The Creator, ASAP Rocky, Big Sean. I also think Ezra Miller, Johnny Depp would look great wearing Plùs Que Ma Vìe and maybe Jared Leto. SHOP PLÙS QUE MA VÌE My collections are available in selected stores all around the world, but mostly in Italy, China and Russia. For the best prices visit our e-commerce site (www.plusquemavie.bigcar tel.com). FUTURE PLANS Currently we are looking for foreign investors to expand globally as well as to launch a womenswear line in the near future. Additionally, we are planning to open a flagship store and set up a proper marketing and sales strategy for the major world markets, expanding the possibilities of collaborations with other brands and sectors.

KURTIS PAUL Kur tis Paul is a men’s fashion brand specialising in high quality bags and accessories. Founded in 2015 by two brothers from Manchester, Kur tis Paul is aimed at the modern gentlemen. Before star ting their own brand, Kur tis and Lloyd Rayner were both working in the corporate world. However, they felt too restricted and wanted an oppor tunity to express their creativity. The brothers showed great interest in bags, especially in those made from leather and canvas, because of their versatility and their power to influence the emotion of the wearer. Kur tis and Lloyd believe that the right bag can completely transform an outfit and give the owner a sense of pride. One of the great things about Kur tis Paul is their eagerness to inject their designs with personality and make each bag unique. Alfred, Sherlock, Cromwell and Darwin are the names of the leather bags from the collection which was launched over two months ago. The canvas collection is due to launch very soon. It will contain three styles of bags, simple in design and available in two stunning colours (more details upon launch). Kur tis Paul dreams big and dares to be different. It’s a brand with two main values - great design and high quality materials. It’s not the goal of this family business to compete with the high street. For them it is about creating fashionable bags, which last the test of time. Shop at WWW.KURTISPAUL.COM. Prices from £215.
WOOD TIME FASHION
THE BEGINNINGS Wilson See is a 28-year-old entrepreneur from Hong Kong, now living in Germany. After the 1st year of studying Business Administration and Computer Science in the University of Hong Kong Wilson star ted his f irst company, which helped other entrepreneurs with creating their webpages. That is how star tups became one of the major interests of Wilson See. Wilson was cer tain that in order to run a successful star tup, you must possess experience, money and a network. He worked in a teaching centre, a Grouponlike company in Hong Kong and also opened a bakery school trying to gain experience, raise money and create a network of contacts. Finally having the key components of a successful star tup allowed him to fulf il another lifelong dream. In 2014 he established a watch-selling brand Wood Time Fashion. Wilson See is creating watches that not only tell time, but also remind people of how precious time is and the impor tance of it in our lives. Made out of wood, the watches are simple and modern, suitable for any occasion. Wilson is a f irm believer that education is the key to improving lives of the poor. That is why a par t of the prof its of his company goes towards providing learning materials for children in Africa, Cambodia and Korea.
Shop at WOODTIMEFASHION.COM. Prices from ÂŁ102.
WHAT’S NEXT? The vision of Wood Time Fashion is to use upcycled and sustainable materials to make high quality fashion products. All of the wood used to make watches is already from FSC cer tif ied farms and forests. Nonetheless, the company is also focusing on the designs of the products so as not to use the label sustainable fashion as a selling point. The goal is to create chic and high quality watches which can be used to spread the idea of social fashion as well. If every thing goes as planned, soon we will see new watches with even more innovative materials as well as expansion of the market in the UK. 2016 Fall | Issue 7 #INSPO 33

HUAWEI P9
The Huawei P9 is the first smar tphone co-engineered with the global iconic brand, Leica Camera AG. The P9’s dual-lens camera takes smartphone photography to the nex t level, allowing people to capture both vivid colors and striking black and white images. A groundbreaking moment for event guests included a f irst look at an exclusive trailer of the new Huawei P9 TV commercial starring Henry Cavill and Scarlett Johansson, Global Product Ambassadors for the Huawei P9 series. Showcasing the connection between two global stars in Shanghai and Hollywood, the trailer symbolizes the par tnership between Huawei and Leica and the intersection of color and black and white. Cavill was joined at the P9 launch by iconic photographers Mary McCar tney and David Guttenfelder from National Geographic as well as BBC Global News CEO Jim Egan, Condé Nast Chairman and Chief Executive Jonathan Newhouse, Vogue China Publisher Anita Chang and Huawei UK Board Members Sir Andrew Cahn and Dame Helen Alexander. “Huawei is excited to give P9 users the best smar tphone photography experience by leveraging the unrivalled capabilities of Leica, the leader in the world of imaging for more than 100 years,” said Richard Yu, CEO, Huawei Consumer Business Group. “Consumers around the world use their smar tphones to take billions of pictures each year, making photography critical to user experience. P9 users can now capture images with unmatched clarity, richness and authenticity, with a masterfully designed and powerful smar tphone that looks and feels incredible.” 40 #INSPO Issue 7 | Fall 2016
REINVENTING SMARTPHONE PHOTOGRAPHY Integrating the design values and engineering excellence of Huawei and Leica in a smar tphone photography system co-engineered by the two companies, the P9 brings together best-in-class hardware and software, from optical lenses, to sensors, to image processing algorithms, empowering users to capture the highest-quality images. Key to the P9’s superlative imaging capabilities is a dualcamera design that fully unleashes the power of Leica’s optical lenses, renowned for precision and attention to detail, and subject to the industry’s most stringent quality screening requirements. The RGB camera on the P9 specializes in capturing color, while the monochrome camera is outstanding at acquiring picture detail. The two rear cameras of the P9 work in tandem to enable users to create images of superior detail, depth and color. The P9 truly excels in low-light conditions, as the dual-camera design guarantees more light and detail can be captured. Each picture taken by the P9 carries the unique emotional resonance and timelessness that are the hallmarks of Leica, as users may choose between three f ilm modes: their personal preferences. With meticulous calibration
Standard, Vivid Colors and Smooth Colors, depending on of the P9’s camera parameters, each f ilm mode faithfully renders the authentic color and style of Leica. By selecting the monochrome mode, P9 users can use their devices as a true monochrome camera to capture powerful and evocative black and white images of superior quality. Deploying Huawei’s Hybrid Focus technology, the P9 captures images with superior speed, accuracy and stability. The P9 suppor ts camera focusing based on three methodologies – laser, depth calculation and contrast – and automatically selects the one that yields the best result in any given environment.
around the world,” said Oliver Kaltner, CEO, Leica Camera AG. “We are deepening our collaboration to give users a more optimal smar tphone photography experience.”
The wide-aper ture photography feature on the P9 allows users to experiment with innovative visual effects to create unique images and content. The P9 makes it easy to adjust the camera aper ture to create bokeh and other depth-offield effects, while keeping the main object in sharp focus.
The 64GB version of the P9 comes in a stunning and unique Haze Gold f inish, setting new industry standards in industrial design, with the use of techniques including brushed hairlines and metal polishing at micron-level precision to create a translucent metal surface. Additionally, the Ceramic White version of the P9 is smoother than the painted bodywork of premium cars, ref lecting and refracting light to present different shades of awe-inspiring colors as ambient conditions change.
“Leica and Huawei share an uncompromising commitment to imaging excellence, and our par tnership will put outstanding photography into the hands of more consumers
TAKING INDUSTRIAL DESIGN TO A HIGHER LEVEL The P9 is a masterpiece of state-of the-ar t industrial design, with the same minimalist design DNA as earlier products in Huawei’s acclaimed f lagship P-series of premium smar tphones. Each P9 device is a per fect construct of superior-grade 2.5D glass and an aerospaceclass aluminum, with diamond-cut edges rounded out by carefully balanced curvatures.
POWER AND PERFORMANCE The P9 is equipped with the power, connectivity and speed that today’s high-end smar tphone user expects from Huawei. With a 5.2inch 1080p display, the P9 is powered by the new Kirin 955 2.5GHz 64-bit ARM-based processor for leading-class mobile performance. The 3,000mAh high-density battery offers P9 users outstanding mobility and battery life. Huawei is also unveiling the P9 Plus, featuring a 5.5-inch Press Touch display and a larger 3,400mAh battery. The P9 Plus also offers dual-IC Rapid Charge, giving users six hours of talk time after a 10-minute charge. Le v e r a gin g Hu a w e i ’ s in d u s t r y - l e a d in g ca p a bili t i e s in telecommunications, the P9 and P9 Plus offer unrivaled new features including a vir tual-triple-antenna architecture, designed for users who need robust and seamless connectivity to cellular and Wi-Fi networks to fully harness the power of the mobile Internet no matter where they are in the world. The P9 and P9 Plus also protect users’ privacy and information security with Huawei’s world-leading biometric f ingerprint recognition technology. The enhanced fingerprint sensor allows users to personalize and safeguard their devices by signif icantly lowering the possibility of fraudulent or accidental device access, while also ensuring users can quickly and securely access their smar tphone. 42 #INSPO Issue 7 | Fall 2016

JEAN GENIE WORDS: Kerryn Grady PHOTOGRAPHY: Kerryn Grady and Al Man
It’s the age-old denim drama for vir tually every female on the planet - f inding that perfect pair of jeans that fit like a second skin and make you feel fabulous. For some reason, whatever the body shape, we all struggle. For tunately, thanks to London’s premium denim specialists at Trilogy, there are a talented few who have the covetable skills to help you find that perfect pair in just three tries. I know, it all sounds a bit too good to be true, and what use is a denim specialist in London when you live elsewhere in the country? For tunately for us, Liverpool and Birmingham’s John Lewis Love&Found depar tments have their very own Trilogy denim maestros! The process Liz Forster, 50, is the resident Denim Specialist in the Liverpool One store. With 30 years of retail experience, Liz knows her stuff, and was instantly able to tell our pear-shaped volunteer (and fellow sceptic), Lingaile, and apple-shaped Ali that they were both at least one jeans size smaller than they thought. As she explains, “most girls think they are bigger than they are,” which is par t of the struggle when finding the right fit. Her job involves ‘finding out what the customer is looking for in terms of cut, colour, style, and advising them on the correct size, and what style is right for them.’
for her customers? Seemingly not, with Liz estimating eight out of every 10 customers making a purchase, many of whom become repeat customers. She explains that premium denim is designed to keep it’s shape (so no sagging at the bum or the knees!), the waistbands are pre-shrunken so maintain a perfect f it, and are overall more durable and longer lasting. By calculating the cost per wear, the £200-plus price tags begin to feel more justif iable. A pair can last you years, the repeat customers return for new washes and to experiment with different styles.
But how does she do this? Thousands of us can’t do it ourselves, so how does Liz have this ability? “Reading about and working with the brands themselves, working out what the positives and negatives are of each, and understanding what the fits are” is a good star ting point. Liz tries out every style and brand that comes into the store, and gets to know what works for different body shapes.
Liz herself is very much a people person, and has a passion for selling, and this shows when you watch her work. She is warm, observant and positive, she is able to read her customers which makes her so good at working out what they want. She also credits her age as being a factor in making her older customers feel more at ease. And despite looking absolutely fabulous herself, she is very honest about having her own body issues and insecurities, demonstrating an understanding of these womens’ body concerns. The denim consultations are free, but you def initely feel you’re paying for premium customer service as well as premium denim.
With Trilogy exclusively stocking premium American denim brands, the customer is guaranteed a higher calibre of jeans. This obviously also means a higher price point. Is this a deterrent 52 #INSPO Issue 7 | Fall 2016
On meeting our girls, she talks through what sor t of jeans they usually wear and why, what styles they’d like to wear, and what they want to get out of their jeans. Lingaile wants a pair that f latters her cur vy f igure that she can still comfor tably move around in. She’s active and wants to be able to wear her jeans for day to day activities, so needs stretch and a good rise so as not to keep tugging them up her waist. Sophie, with her petite and athletic figure is after denim that doesn’t drown her or make her look even shor ter, and if possible, something to give her more shape. Ali, who has developed a more appleshaped figure as she’s gotten older, wants to find a boyfriend jean that is flattering and can be worn as evening wear as well as day wear. After these initial questions, Liz talks through the styles they have, explains the types of denim and the brands’ origins, makes suggestions on the various washes, and advises on how best to care for the denim to give it longevity. For each girl she selects a couple of styles and sends them off to the changing rooms.
The results Within two tries, Lingaile has decided on a pair of highrise skinny jeans by AG denim, which has a comfor table stretch and don’t restrict her movement at all (as she demonstrates by high-kicking her legs around the changing rooms!). A problem for so many pear-shaped girls is finding a cut that fits on both the waist and the hips. In this style the high waistband f its perfectly around her tiny waist. “They’re really stretchy, I can move around, bend down, sit down… That’s what I was looking for and that’s what I got! Since they’re really nice and tight I feel sexy, especially with the heels, I feel really glamorous.” “Oh my God, these are amazing!” was Sophie’s response to the f irst pair of jeans she tried. Despite having been against a skinny high waisted style, “because they’ve never really f itted me well before,” she remained open-minded and agreed to try pairs by Paige Denim and J Brand, and fell in love with both. Paige won out by a whisker. “They shaped my bum really well - as far as I’m concerned I don’t really have a bum, so to have something to give me some shape and a bit of a figure is a nice change.” Ali’s on-going search for the perfect pair of boyfriend jeans came to an end as well. Having always tried unflattering, baggier styles leaving her looking a bit chunky (her words, not mine!), Liz gave her a slim cut to try, also by Paige Denim. Going slightly against the denim grain, Liz and Ali opted for a chic, chino fabric in deep navy, as she wanted
something suitable for evenings. “I’ve been wanting to f ind a boyfriend style I can wear with heels for a while these ones are really nice because the material’s quite thin and they’re a slim f it, so they’re quite f lattering. Because they’re not traditional denim I’d wear them somewhere a bit smar ter, like out for a nice meal with my husband.” I’ll be honest, I was bowled over by Liz’s skills. Each girl chose a pair in less than three tries, and they all looked fantastic in them. After a little make-over with make-up ar tist Lucy at the Charlotte Tilbury counter and a styling session with Loved&Found’s stylist Jennifer, our three girls were photo-ready and oozing a bit of new-found confidence. Not once throughout this process did I get the sense the girls were being ‘scrutinised’, Liz had them feeling completely at ease, and she focused on enhancing their best assets, rather than working out how to disguise their worst, making the experience feel very positive. As I said at the beginning, I was very sceptical, but now I’m quite keen to give this a go myself. I just need to save my pennies first - I haven’t waited all this time to discover my perfect jeans to then not be able to afford them!

Yes, but only when I know I will be doing some activities that require wearing trousers or when I can’t pick an outfit! What are your issues when buying jeans? I have a hard time finding jeans that aren’t too shor t. And I’ve never found a pair that wasn’t loose around my waist. Often times I buy the ones that are too big around my waist and I have them altered. Do you have a brand/style you usually go for? Why this particular brand/style? The last two pairs I owned were from Esprit. It’s the only place where I found jeans that were long enough. What is the most you normally spend on jeans? Would you consider paying more for the perfect pair? I spend about £35. I might spend more if the jeans would fit perfectly AND be of good quality denim. Has buying jeans become more troublesome as you’ve gotten older? It has always been hard to buy trousers. Are there any styles of jeans you particularly like or dislike? I don’t like skinny low waist jeans. They are just super uncomfor table as I can’t bend my knees. I prefer high waist jeans because it’s much more comfor table. If you were to f ind the perfect pair of jeans, do you think it would affect the way you dress? Would you wear denim more often? If I found a perfect pair, I would wear jeans more often. However, I wouldn’t wear my skir ts and dresses, so my style would become less versatile.
Name: Sophie Hood Age: 18 Occupation: Tat too apprentice and par t-time sales assistant Body shape: Athletic/boyish Do you wear jeans often? Every day without fail! What are your issues when buying jeans? The legs are either too long, or the bum doesn’t sit quite right on me and sags Do you have a brand/style you usually go for? Why this particular brand/style? Not really, I’ve bought a lot of New Look jeans as they are reasonably affordable and seem to last! What is the most you normally spend on jeans? Would you consider paying more for the perfect pair? £15 at most, I would if it meant they would fit properly in all the right places.
Has buying jeans become more troublesome as you’ve gotten older? No, they’ve always fitted poorly Are there any styles of jeans you particularly like or dislike? I love skinny or drainpipe jeans, because the compliment my muscular legs. I don’t like “mom” jeans, boyfriend or flares as they tend to drown me out If you were to find the perfect pair of jeans, do you think it would affect the way you dress? Would you wear denim more often? It probably would affect how I dress, I’d be able to wear clothing that didn’t hide my backside as I would hope the jeans wouldn’t sag or fit poorly. I’d wear denim a lot more frequently!
Name: Ali Belloni Age: 34 Occupation: Medicine student Body shape: Apple Do you wear jeans often? Most days when I’m not in work. Probably too often! What are your issues when buying jeans? Trying to disguise my apple-y stomach. Also as a student, I am usually on a budget. Do you have a brand/style you usually go for? Why this particular brand/style? I usually go for low-waisted jeans because I think they suit my shape better. I could be totally wrong about that, maybe I’ll f ind out today! I also try to go for denim with a bit of stretch to it. What is the most you normally spend on jeans? Would you consider paying more for the perfect pair? I am usually too impatient to spend time looking for the ideal pair, so I justify a quick purchase by not spending much. I usually get H&M so don’t pay more than about £30. If I could find some that really suited me then I would definitely pay more. Has buying jeans become more troublesome as you’ve gotten older? Yes - mainly because I’ve been gradually getting bigger. I also have less time to shop... and don’t really enjoy it (am I allowed to say that in a fashion magazine!?) Are there any styles of jeans you particularly like or dislike? I always go for a straight leg - I run away from anything that goes out even slightly because it reminds of the bootcut and f lares wearing days of my youth, which makes me cringe. I’d love to get some boyfriend jeans because they look so good on other people and I love the idea of wearing them with a stiletto heel, but I think they just make me look even bigger. I am also scared of any thing high waisted as I am pretty sure that’s a definite no go for apples. If you were to find the perfect pair of jeans, do you think it would affect the way you dress? Would you wear denim more often? If I had the perfect pair of jeans for me then I hope it would give me the confidence to be more adventurous with the rest of my outfit.

SARAH JESSICA PARKER UNVEILS STASH Sarah Jessica Parker is revealing the fragrance she’s always wanted to create. STASH is the culmination of her long love affair with scent…and it breaks all the rules. It is unapologetically sexy and thoroughly addictive. “When we were creating this fragrance it felt so original, unique and subversive…like we were working on a secret government project. I thought of the name STASH, because the fragrance came to resemble a precious stone – something you have to stash away because it’s so valuable,” explains Sarah Jessica Parker. “There’s a Dr. Seuss book called ‘Oh, the Places You’ll Go!’ When people smell this… oh the places that it will go. The bags, the briefcases, the pockets, the trench coat pockets, the backpacks, the subways, the airplanes. No one is going to leave it behind.” Parker is using the power of suggestion to help fans discover the secret of STASH. A mysterious global street ar t campaign is teasing the fragrance’s ultimate reveal. Nearly 100 bustling sidewalks and iconic New York City and Los Angeles locations have been tagged with #ComeandFindIt in chalk ar t, spurring consumers to stop, think – “Who wrote this?” “What does it mean?” – and hopefully share on social. Parker herself teased the ar t on Instagram via several posts, which led to a final reveal of a thir ty second video of the campaign ad. ABOUT STASH Sarah Jessica Parker worked closely with IFF per fumers Clement Gavarry and Laurent Le Guernec who helped create her f irst fragrance, LOVELY. STASH is a sensual aromatic woody Eau de Parfum Elixir Spray. It wraps raw, sexy masculine notes with f lir tatious, feminine notes to create a universally sexy scent. TOP NOTES: grapefruit zest, black pepper and sage MIDDLE NOTES: cedarwood atlas, patchouli, ginger lily and pistachio DRY NOTES: olibanum, massoia wood, vetiver and musk ABOUT THE BOTTLE Inspired by an apothecar y glass, STASH’s bot tle is minimalistic, yet sophisticated, with clean lines and soft curves. A satin black and gold rimmed cap with twisted black twine and a gold medallion seal the elixir within. The fragrance’s name is written in gold on a ripped piece of black gaffer tape, and signed with the designer’s iconic initials – SJP.

FACIAL FILLERS: WHAT’S THE COST? WORDS: Lucy Mckeown PHOTOGRAPHY: Charlotte Graham About six months ago, I noticed a disturbing trend on my Instagram feed. It went above and beyond the somewhat frivolous body challenges where girls were using shot glasses to enhance their lips (thanks Kylie J!) or hiding their tiny teenage waists behind a sheet of A4 paper. I'm talking about the modern phenomenon that is the Duck Face.... Girls as young as 16 are having their faces cosmetically enhanced with filler injections, often with absolutely disastrous consequences, which we will talk about later. I'm 35, and I have always accepted that ageing is inevitable. The trick is to do it gracefully, right? Well I was wrong. I star ted asking women about their experiences with cosmetic f illers, and was absolutely astounded by how many people have them now, and that they can f ix anything from a tiny wrinkle to your entire prof ile shape. Possibly the most disturbing thing that I discovered on my filler quest was that women are more often than not putting themselves at great physical risk in their search for the perfect Kylie Jenner lips, or a chance to turn the clock back by 10 years. I wanted to find out what was so good about these 30 second injections that it would make women put their health at risk just to be able to afford their yearly top ups. I asked our readers for their personal recommendations for clinics in Liverpool. I wanted an establishment that absolutely represented good practice and The White Rooms Clinic came out a clear favourite.
2016 Fall | Issue 7 #INSPO 77
I approached them for an initial consultation and a chat with their lead nurse, Clare Corless. Clare is a master’s level registered nurse who has been working in aesthetics for over 12 years. It's safe to say that there is probably nothing she doesn't know about cosmetic procedures and the risks they can carry if they aren't properly administered. During our first meeting, Clare was very focused and passionate about the industry she works in, and I could see the satisfaction she gets from helping her clients, whether that is from physical enhancements or the increase in their self esteem. I asked Clare about some of the horror stories I had been told when researching for this ar ticle. They varied from skin infections due to poor hygiene, to exploding lips (I wish I was joking) right through to women meeting unregistered nurses/ midwives/clinicians in car parks to be injected in their cars for £40. Clare was not phased and revealed that a lot of her work involves fixing mistakes when people have gone for the cheapest place they could find. It's not just hygiene you need to consider. Clare informed me that if you're having f illers around your mouth and the practitioner doesn't understand your facial anatomy properly there is a chance they can hit your main facial ar tery and actually blind you. Clare took me through a full consultation that required medical disclosure, history of allergies, medication I was taking, even dental or gum issues (this is due to the f illers needing to be massaged from the inside which can transfer infection from your gums to the surface of your skin). As I had never thought about ageing in a way that could be treated, I let Clare guide the process and allowed her to use her incredibly professional judgment as to what cosmetic injections would be most suitable for me. (Just a little side note: Clare is one of the warmest, most relaxing people I've ever met and any nerves I had at the beginning of this process vanished as soon as she star ted talking!) THE PROCEDURE Clare was very complimentary about my skin but we decided on some very light Botox in my forehead to lift my brow slightly and then some strategically placed Juvederm fillers around my mouth (marionette lines), centre of my cheeks and in some lines at the top of my cheekbones/near my eyes. Clare marked out the areas that would be treated in white pencil and reassured me that the injections wouldn't hur t as they also contain a mild anaesthetic. 78 #INSPO Issue 7 | Fall 2016
My Botox was done f irst. This treatment takes 1-2 weeks to be fully effective. After that time a good practitioner will want to see you again to make sure that every thing is even and that there are no complications. Then my f illers... I was able to watch Clare work her magic in the mirror and to say I was utterly astonished by the immediate smoothing effect is an understatement! My skin went from looking tired (which I hadn't noticed before) to smooth, plump and radiant in an instant. Watching Clare work in a spotless environment following all the correct guidelines and legal requirements really made me wonder why women will go through this in their kitchens, cars and even toilets. Clare is ex tremely concerned that in a few years time we will have an epidemic of hepatitis cases as she knows of practitioners who will allow their clients to share syringes of f iller. They think by replacing the needle tip that they are preventing cross contamination when in actual fact, a syringe will automatically suck in some of your blood or f luid from under the skin and retain it. The nex t person that uses the solution will have it injected into them alongside their precious fillers. Scary, right? This whole journey has been extremely interesting and mind expanding for me. It raised questions not only about professional practice, but the pressure some women feel to stay youthful or have the perfect lips or the most beautiful nose etc. Ultimately, I am absolutely delighted with the enhancements I had. My skin looks fresh and signs of tiredness are much less noticeable. I will definitely be having them topped up in a year’s time and I couldn't let anyone else but Clare do them now. ADVICE * Do your research. By the time you settle on a practitioner you should have absolutely no doubts about their capabilities, professionalism or qualifications. * Go to a clinic. Ladies, please stop getting injected at home/at par ties/in cars/whilst sat on the loo. The risk of infection is absolutely no joke and while you think you are saving yourself £20, you could open yourself up to some extremely nasty (and costly!) problems. * Seek out registered clinical nurses. A midwife is not a cosmetic nurse. * Ask ques tions. Your practitioner should know everything there is know about the procedure you are about to have. If they don't or you feel like they are giving false information, walk away. * Be critical of hygiene standards. It might sound self explanatory but a good practitioner won't allow you to share a syringe or inject you in an unsanitary environment. * Read. Health Education England released new guidelines for anyone administering non-surgical cosmetic procedures earlier this year: hee.nhs.uk/news-events/news/new-qualifications-unveiled-improve-safety-non-surgical-cosmetic-procedures The White Rooms is an independent clinic situated on Smithdown Road in Liverpool and staffed with the highest qualif ied nurses around. They offer a full range of treatments to suit anyone. WWW.THEWHITEROOMSCLINIC.CO.UK
