The designers at TOKAPU carefully select the recycled billboard banners to create trendy and unique handbags. We have seen these billboards decorating our roads, now they are beautifying our green and awakened lifestyle.

spotlight on the designer Fweago Fits Brenda Presil, Chris Garcia, Mark Cassagnol and Phanor Desir are the fantastic four behind the brand Fweago Fits. These four started their brand with the idea to create urban fashions for the North Miami and North Miami Beach community in 2007. When asked, “Why Fweago?” Brenda Presil explained, “Fweago is creole slang for looking fresh, stylish, trendy.” The name definitely “fits” their style of clothing. Each designer in Fweago Fits has a signature aesthetic. Sometimes their ideas are combined to make an individual piece and sometimes only one person from the group designs a garment. Either way, Fweago Fits always considers the pieces produced to be a collaborative effort. Brenda Presil’s designs are featured throughout this edition of mborrerophoto.com MAGAZINE, including the dress of cover model, actress, Lynn Telzer. Originally an artist known as “Art-bee”, Brenda’s creative spirit

for fashion was further lifted when she learned to sew from her mother in 2008. Inspired by Manny Mashouf, the fashion mind behind the brand Bebe, Brenda likes to design dresses that are neutral in color and that have a sexy club wear vibe. Currently her clothes sold under the Fweago Fits label are one of a kind pieces. The Fweago Fits website will be launched sometime in 2012.

Lynn Telzer ready for Hollywood
I’ve been obsessed with television for as long as I can remember. I started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer with my father when I was six. The characters and their relationships are the key to my love of television. Audiences just can’t connect with characters in a two hour film the way they can in sixteen hours of a television show season. People may make fun of the teen dramas I love, but when you’ve watched 57 hourlong episodes of Dawson’s Creek and spent time getting to know these characters, you can’t help but feel the gravity of the situation when Joey has to choose between Dawson and Pacey in the season three finale. (For the record, I would have chosen Pacey too.) J.J. Abrams, Kevin Williamson, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jason Katims, and Joss Whedon are my idols because they’ve created shows that I cherish, stories that touched me and continue to affect the lives of others today. And that’s something that I want to be a part of-whether it’s as an actress, a producer, or some other role I have yet to discover. My journey into the entertainment industry started when I chose to use the family video camera to record my friends and I acting out scenes or performing dances we choreographed. In middle school, I wrote my first full-length script, and in high school, I made a documentary which placed
second in a national film contest sponsored by CosmoGirl magazine. I have over 700 followers on Twitter and almost 3,000 subscribers on YouTube. I am listed on IMDB (Internet Movie Database) and my resume is stacked with experiences from this year. I was a Development Intern at Dick Clark Productions and Liddell Entertainment in Los Angeles. I read scripts and worked on pitch presentations for titles in development. I was an assistant to upper level management at the NYC-based financing and production company. This opportunity was set up through an internship program called Creative Minds in Cannes, which accepts only 40 students each year to intern with companies at the Cannes Film Festival in France. Whenever possible, I also worked as an extra for TV shows and movies ranging from 90210 and Hart of Dixie to This Is Forty . For me, this was a great opportunity to see firsthand how shows are created and produced, and interact with industry professionals. I believe the entertainment industry is my destiny. I have already been to Hollywood. However, when I go back with my Bachelor’s of Science in Motion Pictures in my hand, I will be ready to stay.
