After graduating from NYU he’s contributed to Vogue, Vanity Fair, Elle Decor, Marie Claire and many other shelter and fashion magazines. He also designed sets for Apple, Calvin Klein, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, Restoration Hardware, Ikea and Target. Recently, Kevin has begun acting as a photo art director.

He currently splits his time between London and New York, and in his free time is an avid Film buff and soup maker.

The still life photography team of Gardiner and Keller developed out of a friendship that began in art school. They now run their own 2,500 square foot studio in midtown Manhattan, shooting and retouching together as a team or individually. They count The Metropolitan Museum and Cole Haan to be among their many clients.

He continued to study photography and filmmaking with many fine artists including Don Huntsman, Robert Heineken, Edmund Teske, Jerry Burchfield, Paul Capinagro, Al Weber, and Ruth Bernhard. Tim began exhibiting his work in Los Angeles in 1975. It was there that Tim had the opportunity to assist up and coming photographer Bruce Weber.

Tim has firmly established himself as a recognizable name in the forefront of commercial photography, having shot for virtually everyone including Victoria’s Secret, Nautica, J.Crew, Spiegel, Krizia, Nordstroms, Burdines, Neiman Marcus, Timberland, Talbots, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Polo Ralph Lauren.

This Season Our Beauty Lounge Partners with Malynda Vigliotti, Founder Of Boom Boom Brow Bar! For the first time our guests will be treated to expert eyebrow primping, plucking and tinting this season.
I know you were a model agent in a previous life. Why did you decide to change careers and open the Boom Boom? Tell us about that transition. “Oh boy! I was a model agent and I worked at American Models, Metropolitan Models and Elite Model Management was my last stop on the bus! I’ve always been obsessed with beauty and mainly worked on catalog and beauty campaigns. I honestly just decided I needed a break and took a year off to do volunteer programs around the world. I decided then that I wanted to open my own biz and went to beauty school in my thirties. Let’s just say that it 30
was interesting (giggle). It was soon after that I decided to open Boom Boom Brow Bar. It all kind of rolled once I came up with the name - it just clicked, but it certainly wasn’t easy.”
gets the hair growth all on the same schedule, your brows become so much more manageable.
What is the single best piece of advice you can give women when it comes to their creating and maintaining great brows?
I’m always working on something but right now my baby is selling Brow Job. So many people tried to pull a Kate Moss back in the day and their brows are still jacked up. Everyone wants big, bold, Boom Boom brows now. Brow Job helps them grow in so we can get a new shape. Boom Boom Brow Bar also tints brows to make them look fuller - a brow tint and wax is just $44 bucks. The bigger, the better baby!!!!
Don’t touch them! It’s really hard to have perspective when you’re so close to the mirror. Brows are all about symmetry and proportion, so leave it to a professional. Find someone you can love and trust and have them maintain once a month. Also not touching them
Do you have any plans for expansion?
How To Get Perfect Beachy Hair!
“Apply mousse (I like Catwalk Curlesque by Tigi) to towel dried or dry hair. Don’t forget the roots! Blow dry hair at roots in opposite direction, to get volume. Once dry, spritz hair with a salt spray (Catwalk Salt Spray by Tigi) and scrunch. Spray a little hairspray for added hold. (Sebastian Re-Shaper is pliable and doesn’t leave hard residue.) Add random curls throughout by wrapping hair around a wand. Leave the ends straight for texture. Comb out curls with your fingers and give one last scrunch!” - By: Next Hairstylist; Kristi Wilczopolski Next Model: Amanda Laine

Hey Cookie!
We always knew Next Direct model Julia Joseph was sweet, but with the launch of her very own cookie line, it’s official. How did you get started baking?
Where do you bake?
Can we find you online?
“In Louisiana where I grew up, there is a cultural tradition of rich and heartwarming food, and as a result I have always had an enormous sweet tooth. A couple of years ago, I began experimenting with baking and decorating my baked goods. Initially I would make unique designs for holidays and friends’ birthdays, and even sporting events. Then people starting requesting special designs for certain occasions and I started taking special orders.”
“I bake in my kitchen at home. I recently moved apartments and one of the priorities that I looked for in my new place was a big kitchen with a big oven. Fortunately I found the perfect place and I even have a big island counter for decorating.”
