Letter from the Editor Summer is in full swing and to me that means spending time outside, getting together with friends, and enjoying time with family. My preferred beauty routine: less is more.

Show your freckles and don’t worry about everything being perfectly in its place.

Our Beauty Issue opens with Travis Van Winkle, who currently stars in the critically acclaimed series “The Last Ship”. So it’s apropos to the maritime theme that photographer Josh Reed should capture Van Winkle’s soulful side while walking along the golden beaches of California’s coastline.

In this issue’s Editor’s Picks, I extoll the virtues of some of my summertime beauty favorites. And in the Artist Spotlight feature we’ll talk to A Vice President of Goldfaden MD Skincare, Lauren Wolk, about the origins of the highly lauded skincare company and why it has become such a go-to for beauty professionals and dermatology experts alike.

We are also proud to unveil Tevia, a new face for Ford RBA Agency making her debut in Bello Beauty; photography by Josh Reed and styled by Taylor Sheridan.

Lastly, we invite you to see what happens when photographer Kayla Varley and model Kylie Cusick get together for a special afternoon photoshoot with gloriously natural lighting and one extraordinary jean vest.

Please enjoy July’s Beauty Issue!

Sincerely, Nicole Walmsley Instagram @nicolewalmsley

INTRO In this town of famously beautiful faces, rarely do emerging talent actually live up to the hype. One exception to that rule is the BELLO mag Beauty Issue’s first male cover, Travis Van Winkle. As we learned when we sat down and talked with him, Van Winkle enjoys a depth and breadth of interests and acting roles that prove he’s more than just another pretty face. Our cover story features his sunny disposition easily complemented by the beautiful backdrop of Southern California’s golden coast--an interesting constrast against Van Winkle’s dramatic turn in the darkly tumultuous television series Last Ship.

Lastly: got any beauty questions we can answer? Please send them to us, @BELLOmag on Twitter and Instagram!

Contributors and what’s on their mind, ...

PHOTOGRAPHER

Josh Reed Photography has been an integral part of Josh Reed’s life from the very start--reared on a hearty diet of art and music from a young age, he drew creative inspiration from everyone and everything around him. It wasn’t long before he landed in New York City, where he was soon working with the industry’s preeminent photographers, such as Don Flood, Greg Kadel and Steven Meisel.

He currently lives in Venice, CA. “To me, photography is all about the moment, and Travis [Van Winkle] brought nothing but moments. He was so fun to work with that at times I forgot I was taking his picture... [We seemed like] old friends playing catch, racing cars and sailing the Pacific.”

COVER STORY

Travis

Van Winkle

BY MICHELLE GANNEY, Instagram @mganney11 | website www.michelleganney.com PHOTOS BY JOSH REED, Instagram @JoshReed | website www.joshreed.com

YOU MIGHT BE FORGIVEN FOR MISTAKING TRAVIS VAN WINKLE FOR JUST ANOTHER HANDSOME HOLLYWOOD ACTOR. AFTERALL, VAN WINKLE HAS CARVED OUT QUITE THE NAME FOR HIMSELF HAVING BEEN ON THE FILM AND TELEVISION SCENE FOR OVER A DECADE. HE HAS STARRED IN THE BLOCKBUSTER SCI-FI/ACTION JUGGERNAUT TRANSFORMERS, AS WELL AS THE LEGENDARY HORROR FRANCHISE FRIDAY THE 13TH. ON THE SMALL SCREEN VAN WINKLE HAS DELIGHTED AUDIENCES WITH APPEARANCES ON THE O.C., GREEK, 90210, HAPPY ENDINGS, TWO AND A HALF MEN AND HART OF DIXIE--SOME OF TV’S BIGGEST AND MOST BELOVED SERIES TO DATE.

But away from the bright lights and big-budget backlots, Van Winkle’s stardom takes on a deeper lustre: as a philanthropist and fundraiser for an international non-profit organization. Aside from his incredible acting resume, Van Winkle keeps himself busy as the Ambassador for buildOn, a charitable group committed to building schools in impoverished communities all over the world. After he recently traveled to Malawi with buildOn, Van Winkle was inspired to start a project closer to home. “I organised a group of my friends from Hollywood. We raised $100,000... and we’re making a documentary called 9

Ground Work” to highlight a group of inner city youths from Detroit, says Van Winkle. He aims to tell the story of these “inner city kids, who have rough backgrounds and we’re going to follow them to Malawi to build a different school”.

Given his altruistic streak, it may come as no surprise that Hollywood may have not always been Van Winkle’s calling. In fact, he says, “There was always a drive in me to be an athlete so I never knew I ever wanted to be an actor until I was 20 years old, I stopped playing football and I was drawn to go out to Los Angeles.” However, he

candidly revealed how acting has been a cathartic experience for him, “ I feel like a big part of why I became an actor was healing. It was very healing for me to get up in front of people and to try on these different characters and to play with these different emotions, it was a great way for me to express stuff that I had locked up inside of me. It just kept being about releasing and learning and growing and eventually it started to become something that I truly loved.”

Perhaps just as revealing is the fact that the likeable Van Winkle admits to relishing playing unlikable characters-the opposite of his current role as July 2015 - BELLO

It makes you think you know, we have a very privileged life and even running water and food, we have opportunity, we have choices to make, we have luxury.

the affable and heroic Danny Green in the critically acclaimed television series The Last Ship. “I did enjoy playing Trent [in Transformers] because I got to be an a**hole. When you get to play someone who’s not the nicest, it’s always fun because you get to be larger than life”. He then had the opportunity to reprise the role of Trent in Friday the 13th. “It was an amazing cast and again I got to play a character who was kind of a jerk, so I got to have a lot of fun. It was one of my last roles where I got to play a jerk so it was kind of my salute to that character”.

Van Winkle did reveal that playing Danny, a character not unlike himself, was just as enticing as playing a villain. “I do relate to my character as he is definitely adventurous, he’s a romantic, he likes danger--a good amount of danger-not too much, but just enough.” But importanly, he adds that he also relates to his character’s altruistic qualities in the sense of “wanting to do something good for the world and putting a lot of effort into serving humanity. That’s something I do in my own life... I feel like Danny Green is the same way because he wants to help people. He wants to give people a better life, to do his part in making the world a better place”.

In an impressive demonstration of range, Van Winkle has also shown with Hart of Dixie that he’s capable of more than just action hero. He laments that 11

his time on the CW comedy was short but sweet, saying “I was sad to see that it had ended. I wanted to come back! ...I had a great time working with Rachel Bilson though, she’s amazing”.

In fact, Bilson wasn’t the only one who made Travis’ Hart of Dixie experience an enjoyable one. “It was a really good cast, really great people, and that’s why the show did so well because all of them have a really good head on their shoulders and they were all about the work, so I was really impressed with the cast”.

Indeed, Van Winkle expressed hope that he might have more opportunities to play enjoyable roles--while also showing his acting range--in the future. “I would enjoy being in a romantic comedy... I love the chase, I love the flirtation and I love the gentle softness that you build with someone and the comfort that comes with that. Just the whole journey of romance, it’s just beautiful to me.”

He went on to enthusiastically mention a specific actor who came to mind, “I mean Rachel McAdams – absolutely, I would go on a journey with her. Let’s make it happen!”

What becomes clear is that Van Winkle is not only a down-to-earth actor with a philanthropic streak and an endearing penchant for romantic comedies, but that he’s a complex and nuanced individual. He spoke openly about his philosophic views and the humbling

experience of going on a spiritual retreat. Regarding a solitary trip to India, he said, “I went to this amazing Ashram in Rishikesh, I spent 17 days there and for 10 of those days I spent it in silence. It was a very fascinating 10 days filled with every emotion you could possibly imagine.” Van Winkle reached the understanding that “all of us have this thing that animates us, we have a soul or a spirit and we all have it...

When I was in silence for those 10 days I traveled to the core of who I was and I was moved to tears so many times, I felt like I got to know myself more than I ever had previously... it was a really powerful experience”.

Unsurprisingly, Van Winkle still retains his humility amid all the Hollywood glam. “It makes you think you know, we have a very privileged life and even running water and food, we have opportunity, we have choices to make, we have luxury.” His time spent working with buildOn has impacted him deeply, and he recalls that “ a lot of the community members said that we were helping them re-write their own history, that feels incredible.”

It is experiences like these that set Van Winkle apart from being just another pretty face in Hollywood; informing his nuanced talent, evolving interests, and diverse roles. “I’m only now starting to slowly learn what acting is truly about... it’s a process”.

AESTHETICS IS A WONDERFUL THING. LOOKING GOOD, FEELING GOOD, WE ALL WANT THAT RIGHT? IT IS TRUE THAT HAVING CONFIDENCE IN THE WAY WE LOOK HELPS US ALL STEP OUTSIDE AND FACE THE WORLD, WE FEEL MORE CONNECTED TO OUR INNER SELF OR SELFIE FOR THAT MATTER. GROWING UP, I WAS ACCUSTOMED TO SEEING IMAGES AND HEARING PERSPECTIVES THAT DID A LITTLE LESS TO FORCE THE BOUNDARIES OF BEAUTY THAN WHAT WE ARE GENERALLY SEEING IN TODAY’S SOCIETY, OF SOCIAL NORMS AND HUMAN PERSPECTIVES, THOUGH BY NO MEANS PERFECT, IT IS CERTAINLY HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

Advertising has digressed from the stereotypical blonde haired, blueeyed beauties that graced the world of branded advertising during the Mad Men era. I was only in a meeting with a talent agent last week where he told me that the market has moved on and is more multicultural nowadays. It BEAUTY issue - BELLOmag.com

When I frequent the local pub in London, or a neighborhood restaurant here in Los Angeles, it is clear to see that we men take pride in our appearance. We aim to impress, and there’s no more telegraphic way to achieve this than to dress well and maintain our hairstyle, beard and/or skin.

rapidly when measured against their women counterparts.

Put simply, men have started to think, and care a lot more about what they look like, and what society believes they should be. The recent news showcasing Abercrombie and Fitch’s struggling brand image compounded by the negative stance so widely published of their former CEO Mike Jeffries’ views on what he wanted the A&F image to portray, is just another indicator that the collective public perception behind what a man should look like is changing, once the uber cool, epitome of teen popularity, A&F are now struggling to maintain a consumer base and there are few who would disagree with this changing of the times.

In today’s male beauty markets, we are seeing a rise in the money spent on beauty products such as moisturizers, face washes and grooming accessories, increasing by 70% worldwide between 2012 and 2014. As of 2013, men’s skin care alone was a $3.3 billion global industry. The figures speak for themselves, but importantly, they suggest that more and more men are thinking about how they look and how that affects the portrayal and perceptions of self.

BEAUTY issue - BELLOmag.com

But are men really more self-conscious than they were say 10, 20, 30 years ago?

Does it matter more to men in today’s society than it did back in the day when having a car was a luxury let alone a face moisturizer or a sonic skin cleansing brush? Perhaps it is more down to the fact that beauty standards across the world are changing, and for the male markets, the standards are improving way above the expected norm.

Let’s get specific, take shaving for example. It certainly is a more common and universally accepted form of male grooming, where most men like to keep a clean shaven face, or contrary to that, grow a manageable beard that is tidied up every now and then. We do this to look good and to make a lasting impression. Like ‘manicures’ which is another generally accepted form of male grooming, having nice neat and tidy facial hair or skin along with nice hands when meeting a client for the first time or that special lady you are hoping to impress, there is little doubt that people notice your efforts, and you are more likely to make that long lasting positive impression and who knows, an opportunity for a second date.

When I frequent the local bar in London or the closest restaurant here in Los Angeles, it is clear to see that we men take pride in our appearance, we want to impress, dress well, maintain our hairstyle, beard or skin. It can be seen as aspirational to an extent. It seems some male markets have already established the importance of male beauty products to their daily routines but today, I believe men of all sexualities and backgrounds are caring more about this stuff and it is no longer limited to just one or two demographics.

Designers and industry professionals that have highly established beauty lines, such as Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs are trying to erase the stigma attached to men and our grooming needs, to stop men being embarrassed about having spots, or trying to clear them up even.

Perhaps it stems from the schoolboy days of the spotty kid being singled out and picked on in the playground, but as we enter a new era of socially conscious individuals that want to do nothing else but look the best they can for the six selfies they post throughout any given day, maybe times are a changing and male grooming will finally become a thing that is widely accepted rather than a topic that is shrouded in secrecy most of the time.

We chatted with Lauren Wolk, a Vice President at Goldfaden MD, about the company and her professional path in the beauty industry.

Where were you born?

Chicago, IL Where do you live now?

Los Angeles, CA What did you want to be when you grew up?

I don’t think that I ever knew exactly, but was always drawn to the fashion and beauty world.

How were you introduced to skincare and when did you choose it as a career?

My mother instilled in me at a young age to care for my skin, so I was always aware of beauty and trying different products. It wasn’t until I met my husband, Robert Goldfaden, who built Goldfaden MD with my fatherin-law, Dr. Gary Goldfaden, that I was propelled to change careers from an advertising executive into beauty.

What is your personal favorite skincare treatment?

My go-to treatment is Gina Mari’s Oxygen Facial [in Los Angeles]. My skin looks completely rejuvenated, plump and hydrated afterwards.

For someone who is new to treatments or skincare, what can they do to get started?

Using a daily regimen of products (exfoliate, cleanse, serum, moisturize) is the best way to begin on a proper skincare routine. You can always add/ take away products based on your skins needs and seasons, but exfoliation, cleansing, treatment (in the form of a serum) and moisturizer are the absolute basics.

Depending on the specific skin needs that one is trying to target, I always find that microdermabrasion followed by an oxygen treatment is the best way to introduce an in-office treatment into your own skincare regimen. Skin is always left re-texturized, brighter and hydrated. The appearance of skin imperfections including discoloration, fine lines and scarring are decreased too.

What inspires you in your work?

The most rewarding part of my job is when our customers share with us that their skin has transformed from using our products. We all thrive on self-confidence and for many of us, it starts with our skin – especially for those who suffer from acne, eczema, rosacea, etc. It’s so rewarding to be in a business where at the end of the day, we’re helping people feel better about themselves. This inspires me to want to reach more people and make a deeper impact in the beauty category.

Staying properly protected (apply an SPF 30 every hour when in direct sun and throughout the day as needed when not) is the best preventative measure that you can take for your skin.

BEAUTY issue - BELLOmag.com

24

What part of your job do you enjoy the most?

I love working with people and I am so fortunate to meet so many amazing people on a daily basis. I am also lucky to have a job that takes me around the world and I’ve met many talented people along the way. It’s the people that I meet and work with that I learn the most from and this is what pushes me on a daily basis.

What are your top 5 go-to skincare or beauty products right now?

It’s my summer go-to look, which includes Doctor’s Scrub and Sun Visor by Goldfaden MD, Kevyn Aucoin’s Candlelight Highlighter, Tom Ford’s Pink Tease lipstick and Dior Show mascara.

What is your skincare pet peeve?

When people tell me that they believe skincare does not work, because that’s entirely not true!

What’s your all-time favorite skincare tip or trick?

You can never wear too much sunscreen. Overexposure to UVA/UVB rays are arguably the most damaging for your skin as it breaks down collagen, causes dehydration and increases the risk of hyper pigmentation. Staying properly protected (apply an SPF 30 every hour when in direct sun and throughout the day as needed when not) is the best preventative measure that you can take for your skin.

What’s next for Goldfaden MD? We are launching an extremely exciting and exclusive new collection, Plant Profusion by Goldfaden MD this fall!

It’s a super-luxe anti-aging collection that uses a proprietary complex that increases collagen production, promotes skin brightening and reduces the appearance of fine lines. The entire line will be launching exclusively on www.net-a-porter.com and Space NK Apothecary US and UK.

WALKING INTO GARY MATHIS’S WORKSHOP IN FULLERTON IS LIKE TAKING A STEP BACK INTO THE GOLDEN AGE OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DAYS PAST, WHERE EVERYTHING WAS DONE THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY. THE TOOLS ON THE WALLS CARRY THE BURNISHED PATINA THAT ONLY GENERATIONS OF HANDCRAFTED CARE AND ARTISANSHIP CAN IMPART. IN MATHIS’S WIZENED EYES YOU CAN STILL SEE THE GLIMMER OF PRIDE THAT COMES FROM YEARS OF MASTERING HIS CRAFT, AND IN HIS SMILE AND EASY LAUGH YOU GET A SENSE OF HIS GENUINE WARMTH AND HUMOR. HE IS WELCOMING AND ENTHUSIATIC TO TALK WITH US ABOUT HIS TIMELESS CRAFTSMANSHIP.

Bello: How long have you been working with silver and leather?

Gary Mathis: Well, I started working in a saddle shop when I was about 14 years old! I’m 68 now, so that figures out to almost 54 years.

B: Did you know right away that you wanted to do this for a living?

GM: I liked it all along, but did it on the side to augment my income while I was training horses. Circumstances led me to doing it full time in the mid-to-late 70’s.

B: How did you go about learning these skills?

GM: Leather work, by being an apprentice--studying how people I respected did it, by taking their work apart. Silver work, I’m self-taught after financing a silver shop and had take over for various reasons. [At the time] I could only get 10 cents on the dollar for

the old equipment, so I decided to learn the business and put the equipment to work and recoup my investment.

I studied every engraving book and the [master] engravers I admired to become what I am today.

B: Do you favor one over the other or are they an equally satisfying medium to create with?

GM: No, I really like the diversity of doing both, even though the silver work pays a little better than leather. It’s the art form and the challenge of doing my best and trying to be one of the best that I like.

B: Are you originally from California? If not, what brought you here?

GM: I’m a native born and raised Californian, and proud of it!

B: It’s apparent that you have been influenced by traditional Western styles

and designs. Where did you find these influences in style?

GM: I was a professional horseman, so Western [style] was always my love-the old masters of horses and horse equipment, bits, spurs, and saddles, going back to the turn of the 19th century. The old “cowboy” lifestyle.

B: Is your work mainly commissioned by individuals or do you like to design and create your own works?

GM: My living is made by doing commissioned work for individuals, corporations, ranchers, collectors, and the entertainment industry. Some of my more recent work, I made chaps for Tim McGraw in the movie remake of “Flicka”, and did presentation buckles for the entire cast and crew of the History channel’s “Hatfield’s and McCoy’s” series. But on occasion I do something for myself a little off the normal stuff I do, and offer it for sale via my web site.

B: What would you say is the most difficult part of creating with these materials?

GM: Dealing with the customer is the most difficult at this point. Getting our ideas and visions to be in sync, and getting them to understand what is possible and what isn’t in a metals medium. Other than that, soldering can sometimes be the most tricky because you’re working with a torch at 1500 degrees, and the melt temperature of the metals is between 1650 degrees and 1850 degrees!

GM: A big no. Most people don’t have the drive and tenacity to go through years of practice and learning. It takes a true devotion.

B: You have commissioned some of your work to contribute to some charities that you like to work with. Which ones have you chosen to work with and why?

GM: Red Buckle Equine Rescue who helps save and rehabilitate abused and abandoned horses, and anything [that] helps save endangered African wildlife.

And since I fish the ocean a lot, saving the whales and their environment.

B: Please tell us how people can contact you or find out about your work.

Facebook/website or other social media?

GM: Easiest way is through my web site, then we can work via e-mail and phone calls. I do have a Facebook page, but it is difficult to get ideas across and create something special via that social medium and not broadcasting everything in an open forum! www.garyscustomsaddleryandsilver. com/ www.facebook.com/pages/GarysC u st o m - S a d d le r y - a n d - S i lve rBuckles/188591501218990

B: How long does it take to create one of your amazing belt buckles?

GM: From start to finish, including art work prior to cutting out the metals or creating the castings used as motifs, anywhere from 10 hours for the simplest to several days for the most involved and complex.

B: Have you ever mentored someone or passed on your knowledge to anyone looking to get started in your craft?

Bello: How long have you known each other?

Erik McGregor and Ryan Bush: 20 years.

B: When did your passion for building cars start?

EMcG & RB: 13 years old.

B: What influences the look and style of the cars and trucks you build?

EMcG & RB: We take influence from several places within and outside of the car world. We see things all the time that stick with us that in some way show up in our builds.

B: When did you start McGregor’s Speed Shop?

EMcG & RB: 2012, officially.

B: How does your business work?

Do customers come to you with commissioned projects or do you build a car and then put it up for sale?

EMcG & RB: While we do buy, build, and sell our own vehicles, we really enjoy “build-to-suits”, be it for a business or an individual. It allows us to be creative and hone a vision with our customer.

We have acquired a large portion of our customer base from word of mouth and walk-ins, in no small part due to the vehicles we drive ourselves that you can find cruising the streets of Ventura County.

B: Can you tell us a little bit about your process of finding these old trucks that you work on?

EMcG & RB: While trucks are currently what we do the most of, we don’t limit ourselves to them. We both started in the muscle car world and find ourselves with predominantly trucks now, but enjoy all the classics from the 20’s to the early 70’s. We have a network of

“old cronies” that help us locate and acquire certain vehicles, [in addition to] the traditional way of online research and purchase.

B: What other car builders do you admire and do you think what they do has influenced or inspired you in what you build?

EMcG & RB: No particular person. We admire anyone who has done nice, creative work who strives to be different from the run-of-the-mill stuff we see flooding the industry.

B: What is the craziest vehicle you have assembled?

EMcG & RB: Aside from a 1924 Model T salt flat roadster with a 5.3 LS and T56 6-speed that could definitely be classified as crazy, there have been several that were crazy or unique in their own way... Such as a vintage panel truck housing a lithium-powered beer keg and tap system for a tap house and restaurant we have developed a relationship with. We always strive to be different without getting ridiculous.

B: How much modern technology do you put into a classic/custom vehicle?

EMcG & RB: Given the end goal and parameters for each individual vehicle we do, we always like to incorporate as much modern tech and conveniences as possible. Full chassis swaps, modern fuel injected engines, suspension upgrades, brake upgrades, and air conditioning, along with the occasional power window setup, are among the main desires of our customer base.

“Mild to wild” would be the easiest way to say what we provide. [Everything from] stock cruisers to twin turbocharged monsters are what can be seen coming out of our shop.

B: What is a dream build for McGregor Speed Shop?

EMcG & RB: Ask us next week! That’s a long list that changes from time to time, but right now we are eager to get our 1946 AutoCar COE [cab over engine] car hauler built and put to use. www.mcgregorsspeedshop.com www.facebook.com/pages/McGregorsSpeed-Shop/330009947041123 Instagram: @mcgregorsspeedshop
