INTRO What I love about the idea of beauty is that it can be found anywhere and in anything. Who better to represent such a strong term than our September Beauty cover girl, the stunning Torrey Devitto. Shot at Hudson Loft studio, one of the coolest lofts in downtown Los Angeles, by photographer Trever Hoehne, Devitto’s editorial gives us a mixture of edge and class all rolled into one. We also have the beautiful India De Beaufort who discusses her newest show, the highly anticipated ABC drama, Blood and Oil. Shot in the famous Venice Beach boardwalk by celebrity photographer, Amanda Peixoto-Elkins, De Beaufort shows us what fall is really like in sunny Southern California. With BELLO, our perspective on life will always be beautiful... Enjoy, Leslie Alejandro, Exectuive Director

SHE HAS APPEARED IN SOME ICONIC SHOWS, ONE TREE HILL AND CHICAGO P.D. TO NAME BUT A FEW, WHICH FURTHER UNDERLINES HER CREDIBLE AND IMPRESSIVE RÉSUMÉ.
I had the pleasure to talk with the beautiful and charismatic India on her newlywed status (congratulations!), her new series Blood and Oil and what her fans can expect from her in the future. BELLO: So you grew up in Surrey, England but you have been living in the states for quite a while now. Would you ever consider moving back to the U.K.? IDB: “I have no idea until I get there. Right now I’m living in Park City, Utah while we’re shooting, I’m having a total love affair with the mountains, but if you had asked me 5 years ago if I thought I’d move outside of L.A. I can’t say I would have seen this coming. I try to fly back to England at least twice a year to see my family, and right now I’m enjoying the blend of both worlds.” BM: If you could appear on a British television programme, which TV show would you want to make a cameo appearance in? IDB: “‘Mrs. Brown’s Boys.’ I love comedy, and I am just so tickled by Brendan O’Carroll.” BM: You’ve appeared in some blockbuster TV programmes, what was your experience like on One Tree Hill? IDB: “It was incredible. The fan base for OTH is like no other I’ve ever experienced. There is so much love for the world of Tree Hill and I felt really lucky to get to experience that kind of support.” 9
BM: It was such a long standing show [One Tree Hill]. Was it difficult to enter into a cast that had been working together for so many years? IDB: “Not at all, the cast was a family, and they were used to new additions. We had a blast. I was only there for a season, around 9 months total, but I was very happy to be in Wilmington, and I always remember my time there fondly.” BM: So obviously we need to talk about Blood & Oil! It has such an incredible cast. Which of your fellow cast members are you closest to? IDB: “We all hang out together. Park City is a pretty small town so we tend to move in a group. We’re having fun finding new spots and restaurants. I’d say we are living in a bit of a bubble right now, everyone’s excited to be here enjoying what’s left of the summer.” BM: Tell me more about your character Jules Jackman. Do you enjoy playing her? IDB: “She’s strong, and smart and self made, but she also has a lot of warmth and a sense of humor. I love playing her. I get a little attached to every character I play.” BM: In terms of future projects, what other roles are you looking to play? What actors/actresses do you aspire to work with? IDB: “I think I will always want to switch things up. I would love to shoot a sitcom,
but I would also love to shoot an honest independent. I don’t feel limited, I really just want to work and get better and learn. Carey Mulligan is one of the most magical and talented actors of our generation and I fall in love with her every time she’s onscreen. Working off her level of depth as a her co-star must be incredibly fulfilling.” BM: Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials! It must be so hectic planning a wedding alongside all your acting projects. Have you set a honeymoon destination yet? IDB: “I just got married to my lovely husband Todd Grinnell. We would love to be on our honeymoon this very moment but there’s just no time. He’s also an actor and on top of that he’s a founder of This Bar Saves Lives alongside Kristen Bell, Ravi Patel and Ryan Devlin. It’s an incredible socially conscious granola bar company sold in Whole Foods, and Target and stores all the way across America. For every granola bar you buy, a packet of a nutritional supplement is given to a child suffering from acute malnutrition. Todd has spent many years traveling back and forth from developing countries helping kids who need surgeries and health care. As you can tell, I’m incredibly proud of him.” BM: Lastly, do you have a particular saying that you live by? IDB: “Let it go.” September 2015 - BELLO

Splurge or Steal:
Makeup Brushes 101 BY DEE TRILLO Lifestyle and Travel Editor| Dee@BelloMag.com| @HauteFrugalista
A red carpet ready complexion takes more than just the right products. It also takes the right tools and techniques. Makeup brushes play a huge part into creating a flawless and natural look. They are the ones that help us define
our features, rock a picture perfect smoky eye, and prevent us from getting creases or exposing our wrinkles.
Becca, The One Perfecting Brush: Capable of replacing every single brush on your counter- including foundation, blush, concealer and contour brushesthis flat edged brush is an all-inone makeup tool. The compact goat hair bristles disperse loose powder, liquid, crème or pressed formulas evenly and impeccably; in addition, they do not suck in the product which means spending less on makeup, and keeping skin clean from germs. $49 www.BeccaCosmetics.com
Rouge Bunny Rouge, Eye Liners and Brows Brush: Get ready for hypnotizing eyes with these must-have brushes. Begin by drawing a thin line at the base of your upper lash line with the Eye Liner Brush #13. This step will give the illusion of fuller lashes. For a quick night upgrade, use the Eye Liner #8 with a liquid or gel formula, and effortlessly go from a thin to a thicker line creating a daring cat eye. Finish the look by framing your eyes with the Brows Brush #6. Fill them in with a softer shade at the start and a deeper tone at the end, or a dark tone all around for a bolder look. $16-23 www.RougeBunnyRouge.com

brush, and noticed how it went from a ghostly raccoon style to a seamlessly blended one. Here is our how-to easy guide to accomplish a polished and dreamy makeup application.

With a simple twist change the brush to different levels, reducing or augmenting the thickness of the brush.

RAW ART By
Jsquared CONTINUING TO EXHIBIT THE CREATIVE AND SPECIAL EYE OF THE TALENTED PHOTOGRAPHY DUO THAT WE KNOW AS JSQUARED PHOTOGRAPHY, HERE IS A LOOK AT MORE REAL ARTISTS BEHIND THE MAKINGS OF GUITARS, WOODWORK, MOTORCYCLES, AND POTTERY. WELCOME TO THIS MONTH’S SEGMENT OF RAW ART BY JSQUARED.
Tomas Delgado Just behind the counters of the famous Candela’s Guitar Shop on East Los Angeles’s Martin Luther King Boulevard is the workspace of Tomas Delgado the latest member of his family to run the 3rd generation family business. The workspace is a vision of true craftsmanship and a nod to the traditional ways of building some of the most beautiful classical and flamenco guitars in the world. Tomas invited us into his shop to watch him work on some of his famous guitars. Bello: How long have you been handcrafting guitars? Tomas Delgado: I came here to help my dad when I was 19 and never left. That was 27 years ago. I have been running the shop since 1994. B: What elements determine the quality of a guitar? TG: The first thing that determines the quality of a good guitar is knowing what the clients needs are. It is important that the guitar sounds and feels amazing. Asking the right questions and being BEAUTY issue - BELLOmag.com
able to execute those needs into reality will make a quality guitar for each customer! B: What part of your craft do you feel sets you apart from others in your business? TG: Three of the main factors that sets me apart from other luthiers are:
A. My 27 straight years in the business. I was able to continue the momentum Candelas had even through the loss of both my father first and then my grandfather. B. Space. After 87 years in business I purchased the property where Candelas is now. This enables me to have complete control and maintain competitive pricing. C. Time. Because of A and B, I can dedicate all the time needed for my clients. Now the guitars are always getting better and there is no need to cut corners. B: What has influenced your style? TG: The old world guitars have always been my passion. My clients are looking to get more color, character and tone from a tradition-ally made guitar. I can appreciate some of the modern guitars in the market but I will be staying with the traditional style. B: Did you go to school for this or did you learn your skills on the job? 18
TG: I was able to apprentice with my grandfather Porfirio and my father, Candelario Delgado. When they passed away I decided to seek out other luthiers and techniques that would help me further understand how the guitar works. I took a frequency mode class from a professor from Cambridge University. I have traveled to Europe several times to study alternative approaches to assembly and also French polish. I have been to Mexico and parts of the US to further understand how certain areas and regions are influenced by materials, climate and history. I have also been blessed to have an amazing core of friends/clients/ professionals like Pepe Romero, Adam Del Monte, Dan Castrida and Kenneth Del Rio to name a few. These men have openly given me their knowledge and experience all with the focus and goal of improving the sound of the guitar.
that is excited about my guitars or a young student eager to get to the next level. B: How do you start to approach the process of creating one of your guitars? TG: If it is a guitar for a client then he/ she is in the vanguard. They lead me into their hearts and minds and I will follow. If it is a guitar for the store, I will always try to have a variety of models with different combinations of neck widths, spruce or cedar tops, lacquer or French polish. You never know who will come in. B: If you were not building guitars, what else would you want to do with your life?
B: Where do you get your inspiration for your works?
TG: If I were not building guitars today, aside from spending more time with my wife and kids, I would love to teach! Passing on what God has given me to eager students in a fun and inspiring environment would be cool.
TG: My inspiration is the client. The quest for better sounding, playing and looking guitars. The seasoned virtuoso
B: What other activities do you participate in and do you think they help you maintain your creativity?
19
TG: I stay very active with my kids Tomas and Sofia. Exercise helps. I also listen to lots of old recordings and watch old movies looking for designs and sounds to keep me up to date with the past. B: Where can people go to find out more about you and your work? TG: You can go to my web site where I try to answer frequently asked questions. Or you can call or make an appointment where we can meet in person. http:// www.candelas.com

With Eric Ervin, Woodworker Bello: Where are you from originally and was art always a part of your life? Eric: I was born in New Jersey but spent the good part of my formative years in Florida before going to New York where I spent 10 years until I moved with my family to West Hollywood in 2013. I would say that I was always creating things and making art one way or another. From an early age I was in special art classes in school. B: Did you always have a passion for working with wood? E: I wouldn’t say wood necessarily. When I was in high school I did have a lot of art classes and my favorite part was sculpture and any type of 3D art, so after school it was kind of a natural transition to get into sculptural yet functional art. Though it began more with metal lamps, which then parlayed
BEAUTY issue - BELLOmag.com
into wood with this idea I had for a illuminated coffee table and from then on I had found my passion. It was like a faucet had been open and I couldn’t get it closed again. Ideas kept just flowing. B: Where did you learn your craft? E: I would say I started out selftaught. My dad was a contractor for a period when I was young and so I had a basic familiarity with tools, but on a rudimentary level it wasn’t until I was in my twenties that I bought some saws and chisels and started to read and absorb any morsel of wisdom I could. I actually was living with a girl at the time, and when we split, instead of moving into another apartment, in 2000, I rented a warehouse and lived in it for a few years so I could afford to have shop space and living space. This was how passionate I had become. I was literally living off of instant
mashed potatoes and ramen noodles so I could afford to buy tools and books and have a place to create. Once I moved to New York I started working for a few woodshops/furniture makers and I was desperate to learn anything and everything and I did. So the short answer would be that I learned from doing and working under some really talented people, and when you are truly passionate about something, it’s easy to absorb information and really learn B: What is the most difficult part of your job? E: Juggling projects and meeting deadlines. Somehow I have been in high demand lately and the business is ramping up faster than I was prepared for. I never wanted to be a businessman, but I am assuming that role like it or not I guess. It seems that creative types are usually not the business minds.
20
B: Who inspires you? E: At the top of the list is James Krenov. Ee is the first woodworker that I felt a connection with, his writings spoke to me and showed me that I wasn’t alone in the feeling I had about wood as a material, and the love of crafting it into precious objects. Another huge inspiration for me is one of my best friends, Ben Erickson, of Erickson Aesthetics. I worked alongside of him for many years in New York. He is one of the most supportive and motivational friends anyone can hope for and seeing the amazing stuff he builds inspires me to push my skills even further. Obviously I could also say George Nakashima and Sam Maloof, but I think even more so would be Tage Frid. His style was a bit more subdued and understated and I would say that fits my personality. B: What is your favorite thing about creating with wood? E: My favorite thing about furniture making is that there are no real boundaries in design. Yes, you have to follow dimensional standards for proper ergonomics and correct wood joining techniques to ensure it functions properly and lasts over time, but apart from that there are no rules, you can reinvent the wheel in so many ways, it only has to roll properly. B: What do you see as the biggest challenge in your field? E: Oversaturation. There is a huge boom in interest of making furniture, it’s like the hot new trend which is cool and you’ll always get some real talented people coming up through the ranks, but there are a lot of overnight “woodworkers” who haven’t taken the time to really learn the craft. There is a lot of work out there that is under priced or substandard. This can skew the market for those of us that have put many hours into learning skills and taken the time to hone the craft. B: What advice would you give someone looking to do this as a profession? 21
E: If you really love it, take the time to really learn it before jumping into it as a job.
B: Is there a dream piece that you would love to make either for yourself or a client?
B: What do you do outside of woodworking up that you feel helps you stay creative?
E: I wouldn’t say there is one “dream piece” as much as I would say there are some things I haven’t had a client ask me for as of yet that I would love to make, such as a set of Danish style chairs with woven seats, or a Nakashima style spindle bench.
E: I play music from time to time and I have been in bands. I skateboard, though my knees are not super stoked on that anymore.

With Yaniv Evans @ Powerplant Motorcycles Melrose Avenue is synonymous with shopping, restaurants and art, but you may have possibly seen Yaniv Evans cruising his one-of-a-kind chopper down the street too. You may not even know his custom motorcycle shop is there, but you have probably have seen his storefront on Melrose, For the Love of the Motorcycles, featuring his bikes for what they are--rolling art. The real magic happens behind the store. There, Yaniv handmakes his one off motorcycles that have a vintage style and no B.S. attitude. Powerplant Motorcycles was established in 2002. What started out as a small one-room space on Melrose has become a large shop with projects lined up out the door. Yaniv uses all kinds of materials to create his motorcycles. From stainless to brass to copper to found objects and vintage parts, if it

looks cool, you may see it on a bike. His style continues to evolve and become more refined with each build. Master welder, fabricator and grease monkey. Yaniv is all of this. You can feel the passion he has for the bikes and the lifestyle when speaking with him about his craft. This is a guy who rides everyday. When he is not riding, he is thinking about riding and creating rideable rolling art. That passion translates into the time and work that
This same passion is palpable while walking through the store. The feel of the warm wood throughout contrasting with the vintage leather and gleaming chrome makes the store more of a museum. Even just looking at a t-shirt or hat, you get the sense of the history of motorcycles and motorcycle culture. The mix of the old with the new is seamless.

Antonia Campanella
Watching Antonia create her pottery in the natural light of her studio is about as organic as it gets. Starting with a block of clay, she transforms it into something beautiful using only her hands. With the natural light filling her studio, you can feel the attention and care she gives to each piece she creates. Bello: Where did you grow up and was art always a part of your life? Antonia: I grew up in a suburb of Cleveland, a small town called Chesterland. Art was always a part of my life, whether in the culinary form, cooking with my mother or through my older brother who was always drawing or painting. He is 11 years older than me, and I sort of followed in his footsteps. He kept me very involved in art, introducing me at a young age, to his high school art teacher and then showing me around his college and introducing me to his professors. I had the privilege of learning from a lot of these same people. I was interested in 23
figure-drawing in high school, taking classes outside of school with a group of friends, and actually took some classes at the Cleveland Institute of Art, which I later attended. I was not into sports and the town was and still is a very sports-orientated. I gravitated towards the kids and teachers that were involved in art and made some life-long relationships from it. B: What first drew you towards ceramics? A: I intended to study interior design in college and was able to take a ceramic elective in my second year. I was very turned off by the interior design curriculum. It seemed to “clean cut” and “stuffy” for my liking, but I did like the concept of being part of creating beautiful interiors. I broke my back over the summer going into my second year of college, in a jet-ski accident and sort of re-evaluated everything. I was faced with the decision to even stay in school or take a year off. I went to the first day
of the ceramics class and fell in love with the syllabus and the people. I like the immediate problem-solving and design challenge, involved in creating objects out of clay. I have yet to meet a “bad person” that works with clay. I love working with my hands and being able to create all sorts of objects that can beautify interiors. B: Where did you learn your craft? A: I studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art, but also took internships and worked as a studio assistant to various potters throughout my education. My first internship was in Illinois, at an old pottery company called Royal Haegar Pottery. I spent the summer working with mold makers, designers, and glaze chemists. I later attended Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina to go visit my boyfriend (now husband) and returned each summer through scholarships and working for local potters. The combination of working for companies and individuals helped September 2015 - BELLO

build my technique, but the knowledge of the material and creative exploration came from the college courses. B: Can you describe your style for us? A: Warm, raw and playful. B: Who inspires you? A: My friends and family inspire me. I’m just happy to be able to expose people to the handmade. I use my family (nieces and nephews) as imagery, capturing memories and emotion. I am surrounded by talented and funny people (glass blowers, potters, chefs, directors, designers, writers, etc.) who inspire me to create work that is approachable enough to fit in their daily life, but elevates the overall experience. I’m also inspired by music: soul, blues, old country, classic hiphop, jazz and (good) graffiti/ street art. The thread to these things being that these people are real, doing what they love for themselves and for the people and not for status. B: Do clients come to you with specific ideas or do you design to your own liking and put it out for the world to see? A: I started selling work about 5 years ago through a former employer who showed some of my pieces with her display at the New York Gift Show. Through that I picked up a few wholesale accounts and maintained and grew that business for the past five years. I have recently (finally!) set up my own home studio and am BEAUTY issue - BELLOmag.com
working on prototyping new work and collaborating with friends and fellow artists on some special projects. Part of my work involves imagery, so people have approached with getting specific images transferred onto forms. B: What is your favorite thing about creating with clay? A: I enjoy the range of the material. My work involves utilizing a variety of its processes. I slip cast, hand-build, and throw with the clay. I also print images on the clay and handpaint with gold luster. I like that I can have multiple things happening at once, because clay also takes time to dry and get to the finished state. I love developing and mixing the glazes I use and that if I mess up while the clay is still wet or just unfired, I can re-claim it and use it again, clay is very forgiving.
I love to cook for myself but also with and for friends. It has a very close relationship with ceramics as I get to serve the food on and in my work. I love yoga, ever since I broke my back. Upon my arrival to California it became a very significant part of my lifestyle and maintaining balance and a healthy physical shape, as my studio practice is quite physical. I also work for a company part-time called Heath Ceramics. They have been around for 50+ years and are based in Northern California. I started working for them in the Los Angeles studio about 4 years ago, assisting the studio director, working special events and filling in, then moving on to the sales floor in the last year. It really keeps me tuned into who is buying and appreciates the handmade and what ceramics is capable of at the factory level. We work with designers and restaurants and people that want quality American-made products. The role allows me to share my experience and knowledge of the material. For more info on Antoina you can visit her website www.acceramics.com and you can keep up with her on Facebook at AC. Ceramics as well as Instagram @acceramics. To contact her directly with questions or inquiries, email her at antonia.campanella@gmail.com.
B: What advice would you give someone looking to do this as a profession? A: I think the most helpful thing for me was immersing myself in as many different aspects of the profession through internships, working as a studio assistant and even on the sales end of it to see where you will fit in. There are many opportunities in clay--teaching, assisting, working with interior design showrooms, or creating tableware, or the art/gallery scene. There is also a very technical side to production- mold making, glaze making and testing, clay making, and production managing. Become familiar with and open to as much as the material has to offer. 24

Drew, Melinda Gooden, Jason Arasheben, Mickael Pietrus star’s now-fiancé Iggy Azalea. However, what most people don’t know is that as a sophomore in college, Jason found himself at $28k in debt. Not unusual for the average college student these
days, he began selling silver trinkets for $20-$50 on campus. His company now generates around $15 to $20 million per year. We admire Mr. Arasheben for his passion and dedication to his craft.

Spotlight on the Artist BY: NICOLE WALMSLEY
HAIR STYLIST
Shaylee Blatz Instagram @hairbyshaylee Twitter @shayleeblatz
SB: My technique for balayage changes regularly. Sometimes I use foil, sometimes I just paint. It all depends on the client and what will work best for their hair specifically. I like to switch up my techniques and am constantly trying new ways of achieving beautiful, sun-kissed hair color. With hair color, there is no right or wrong way of doing things so it’s fun to get creative with it.
In this issue of Spotlight on the Artist we hear from Shaylee Blatz, celebrity hair stylist. She’s a sought after stylist, an expert in extensions, long layered haircuts, blondes, balayage, and updo styling. Shaylee has worked with some of Hollywood’s famous faces, such as Alessandra Ambrosio, Ahna O’reilly and Danielle Campbell to name a few. People fly to Los Angeles from around the world to have their hair done by Shaylee and visit Nine Zero One Salon on Melrose Place. Not only is she one of the most talented people in the business, but her modest, laid back vibe make her one of the coolest girls I know.
BM: How would you describe your style?
BELLO: What did you want to be when you were growing up? SB: Growing up, I always thought I wanted to be a nurse. I love to help others and thought it would be an amazing profession to contribute to people’s lives in a positive way! BM: When did you start doing hair and how did you choose it as a career? SB: I’ve been around the salon world my whole life because my mom is a hairstylist. I always enjoyed playing with hair and watching her in the salon but never thought it would be my career. After graduating college with a degree BEAUTY issue - BELLOmag.com
in nutrition, I realized I wanted to do something more creative and hands on. BM: What part of your job do you enjoy the most? SB: I enjoy meeting new people every day and making personal connections with my clients. They become like family to me. It’s the best feeling to see clients leave my chair with a smile on their face and an extra pep in their step because they feel beautiful! BM: You’re known for doing balayage. Can you tell us about that technique?
SB: As a stylist, I love creating a natural sun-kissed look. I want it to look like you were at the beach all day and the sun just brightened your hair in all of the right places, like kid’s hair. Kids have the best hair color! You get those bright pops in front and a flawless fade to the ends with no harsh lines. This style is perfect for clients who want beautiful color that is low-maintenance. BM: What has been your biggest “pinch me” moment? SB: My biggest pinch me moment was when I was asked to go to Punta Mita for 24 hours to style a client’s hair. It was crazy because literally a few days before I was thinking about how much I would love to be able to travel for work. Then, out of nowhere I get the call asking if I can be on a flight in the morning. I remember arriving on set 26
and looking out into the ocean thinking how lucky am I that this is where I get to work today. It was magical! BM: Who is someone you haven’t worked with yet, but would love to? SB: I would love to work with Alice Eve. She can seriously pull off any hair color from red to platinum and is not afraid switch up her looks on the red carpet. It would be fun to get creative with her hair in both color and styling! BM: What are your top 5 go-to products right now? SB: Oribe Dry Texture Spray for root lift and extra body, Oribe Après Beach Spray to achieve the beachy look, Unite Boosta Volumizing Spray, before blow drying to give extra volume on top. I also like Unite 7 seconds, the best detangler after washing and Unite Expanda Dust-my go-to for updo styling. BM: All-time favorites tips or tricks? SB: My favorite trick is the Velcro Roller trick that my boss Riawna Capri taught me. You take the front section of your hair (bang section), centered to your part and blow dry it forward and back with a round brush until it is dry. Then take a 1.5 t0 2-inch Velcro roller and roll the hair like you would the round brush and clip it on the base of the head. Do this section first before drying the rest of the hair so it will be set for a while. After you are finished with the rest of the hair, pull the roller out last and you will have the perfect “swoop” with tons of volume in front. BM: What trends are you excited about for this season? SB: I always get excited for fall color! This season I think it’s all about adding 27
lowlights through the top and just a few highlights around the face to create more dimension. To top it off, add a rich glaze to melt it all together which will give you a fresh look that is easy to maintain. As far as haircuts go, I’m loving the blunt medium length styles. By removing weight from within the cut rather than cutting layers you can keep a strong blunt look that still has movement.
one. Nikki Lee and Riawna Capri have truly created a family atmosphere that is supportive and fun to go to every day. We are all each other’s biggest fans and I think that’s why the salon has grown like it has. I can honestly say I don’t feel like I work. I get to hang out with my close friends every day, play with hair, and make people feel beautiful. Teamwork makes the dream work!
BM: What is your hair pet peeve?
BM: What’s next for you?
SB: One of my biggest hair pet peeves is when fall season comes around and everyone decides they want bangs! Bangs are not for everyone and they seem to be the go-to for the fall hair change. Face shape and hair texture must be factored in before deciding if bangs are the best option for the client. BM: What inspires you in your work? SB: My coworkers (aka my 901 family) that I have the pleasure to be working next to every day are the ones that inspire me most! I’m constantly learning from each and every one of them and am in awe of their creative minds and talents. I also get a lot of my hair inspiration from Pinterest. It is a great place to keep all of my favorite hair looks in one spot that can be accessed at any time. BM: Tell us about working at Nine Zero One Salon? SB: Nine Zero One is such an amazing place to work and I’m so grateful to have been a part of it since day
SB: I’m going to continue building my career at Nine Zero One and hopefully have more opportunities to travel for work in the near future. BM: How do you spend your time outside of work? SB: Outside of work, I love to spend my time near the ocean. I also recently started a fun, girly wine-themed Instagram account called @ winemeetsgirl. It’s a girl’s guide for wine. Someday I hope to open a Wine Meets Girl tasting room by the beach. BM: What advice would you give someone who wants to be a celebrity hair stylist? SB: If you want to succeed in this industry, you must be committed! There were a solid three years where I remembered not having a life outside of work but I was committed to getting where I wanted to be. It has definitely paid off and I truly believe I have my dream job. September 2015 - BELLO

Nailing It BY PILAR NOIRE, Nail Expert at Nailing Hollywood Instagram @Pilarnoire
AS WE APPROACH FALL, YOUR HANDS AND FEET MIGHT NEED SOME EXTRA ATTENTION. TRY THESE TIPS TO KEEP YOU A STEP AHEAD THROUGH THE SEASON.
Cuticle oil is important to apply regularly to hands and feet to keep them hydrated and at their best. Figure out the best place to keep it so that you remember to actually use it. Popular options include at your desk while at work or by your bed before sleeping. Be realistic in storing it somewhere that it is likely to get used. My top 3 favorites are CND Solar Oil, Young Nails Rose Oil, and Essie Apricot Oil.
For feet, the trick is to file lightly in one direction with your file of choice. Don’t go back and forth as that will only take layers down without smoothing. I like doing this dry, in the shower while I’m waiting for the water to warm up. I prefer using a nail file instead of the 35
After applying cuticle oil, hydrate the other areas of the hands and feet with a lotion or cream that will help keep the skin soft. Find one that you like so much, you can’t get enough of it. My top 3 are Dr. Haushka Almond Soothing Body Cream, CND Cucumber Heel Therapy and One Love Organics Coconut + Salt Mineral Body Lotion.
typical foot file as I can isolate the file to only have contact with the areas that need attention. Use what is comfortable for you. For hands, it is common to have hardened areas next to the sides of
the nails by the free edge. File down away from the hand in one direction and you may be pleasantly surprised how smooth the area becomes without being abrasive. Doing this can prevent you from picking at the dry, hardened, skin and your hands will be healthier. September 2015 - BELLO

Shiraz Events Co. MEET POWERHOUSES SHAI TERTNER AND YANIV COHEN. AT FIRST GLANCE YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW THESE TWO ARE PART OF THE BIGGEST POWER PLAYERS IN THE COUNTRY. YOU KNOW THEY MEAN BUSINESS FROM THE WAY THEY WALK AND TALK. BEING A PART OF THEIR INNER CIRCLE MEANS YOU’RE IMPORTANT. THEY ARE THE GLITTERATI. KNOWN FOR THEIR EXCELLENT EVENT MANAGEMENT, THEY CATER TO BIG CONGLOMERATES SUCH AS LANCOME, VERSACE, LOUIS VUITTON, BVLGARI AND COUNTLESS OTHERS WHOM COME TO THEM FOR HIGH END CATERED EVENTS. BM: Your firm has been open for over 15 years. What keeps you motivated year after year?
Tertner opened Shiraz Events in 2001. Fast forward to today, Shiraz has now expanded from a small boutique firm in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood to a leading special events firm across the nation and over to London.
Shai: Working with great people, working in an industry which is always changing and evolving, client appreciation, seeing the results of completing a job, taking it in and saying to yourself , ‘Wow, I did this.’
Shiraz Events is a top award-winning and industry-leading event design, production, catering and model staffing firm based in Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and London, with more than twelve years’ experience. With offices across the nation, the Shiraz Events team is constantly exposed to different events and environments allowing them to maintain and provide a truly educated and cultured clientele and service. “Our service encompasses all areas of celebration; we are event designers offering culinary services with a full in house staff available to make the process easier for our clients. We exceed our client’s expectations through the application of our core-strengths for entertainment: marketing, design, management, food, drink and service. Shiraz brings a luxurious mentality to everything we touch. Impeccable service and cutting-edge design are our constants. From dinner for eight to a cocktail reception for 1,000, the details are our obsession”. BELLO had the privilege to meet with both Tertner and Cohen over lunch to discuss how Shiraz Events came about and what makes it unique from any other company on market, along with what makes these two wholesome gentlemen tick. BEAUTY issue - BELLOmag.com
Yaniv: Passion for our industry, seeing the growth year after year, and challenges that each event brings and the creative solutions we provide for our clients. BM: What has been the biggest challenge you have faced alone and together? BELLO: How did Shiraz come together? Shai: Picture this: NYC, 2000, I’m a young immigrant from Israel (25) helping a friend start a model staffing agency. When he chooses to step away from the business, I decided to move forward with the staffing agency which eventually became a modern, high-end catering company working in the home of David Bowie and Iman, Bergdorf Goodman, the Hamptons, just to name a few. As the years went by, it was clear that my passion was in design, and so an event design and production department started. This was followed by an office in Miami, later in LA and now reaching across the pond in London. Yaniv: Early on, we attended an event in Miami and were unimpressed by the quality of food, service and overall presentation. We thought to ourselves, ‘we can do this the right way.’ So we did.
Shai: Finding a company solution to surviving the 2008 recession in NYC. Yaniv: Hiring the right people to represent Shiraz in the best way and are able to bring the vision and essence of Shiraz to life in each event. BM: What do you think keeps you competitive in multinational markets? Shai: Keeping in touch with global movement, maintaining a grip on the pulse in art, design, fashion, luxury and nature. Listening to our clients and vendors, letting them expand our horizons and for me, my meditation practice. Yaniv: In addition to Shai’s response, the harmonious support our offices in all 4 markets offer each other, staying in constant communication and traveling to each when hands-on support is needed. 44
BM: How has your upbringing affected the way you run the company and organize events? Shai: I was raised in an Air Force home and was in the Israeli Army, which helped me be very disciplined and organized. My mother is the sweetest woman in the world, so if people say I’m nice and kind, that’s where it comes from. Yaniv: Being the eldest of 5 boys, I was always helping my mom prepare meals, my brothers were extremely picky and I always had to innovate and make sure they were happy with the flavors and presentation.
BM: What’s it like to work with some of the most reputable companies and personalities in the industry? Shai: It’s an honor and big compliment that these great global brands want to work with us. Yaniv: We’ve worked very hard to gain a solid reputation and it’s gratifying to know that our work is respected and appreciated. BM: Favorite Dish? Shai: I have a sweet tooth, so anything chocolate – especially our famous cardamom chocolate truffle. Yaniv: I don’t really have one favorite dish. As we continue to change our menus, incorporate seasonal items and as I grow and learn, my palette also changes. BM: Who are your idols/admirers? Shai: Within the event design industry Colin Cowie, Preston Baily, Robert Isabel, David Monn, David Stark. Within catering - Glorious Foods, Pinch, Martha Stewart. Yaniv: In addition to those already listed, I’ve always admired Madonna. She’s always reinventing herself, setting trends and pushing the envelope, all assets we strive to incorporate into our events. BM: How has the industry changed for you and or the company? Both: In the last few years, we’ve started to incorporate a lot of tech elements into our events, integrating social media and augmented reality in 45
unconventional ways. Technology is the future of events. As everything is shared online, we continue to witness new companies looking to us for inspiration and finding their own ways to translate our work, which is a big compliment, but pushes us to be innovative and stay ahead of the curve. BM: Any regrets? Both: We prefer to look to the positive, everything is part of the path of life. BM: Can you tell us something nobody knows about you?
BM: Are you satisfied with your brand’s image? Both: That’s a question for the industry, but yes, we’re pleased with our reputation and happy to be recognized by the industry as a leading firm. Referrals equal to the best vote of confidence. BM: Where do you see yourself and the company in the next 5 years? Both: Continue doing what we do best-executing flawless events, being a leader in the industry and staying on the forefront of experiential marketing campaigns.
Shai: I’m actually very shy and find it very difficult to speak in public.
What tips do you recommend to those in search for the ultimate party?
Yaniv: I moved to New York to study musical theater for 1 year, which then became 20 years in an industry I was always passionate about but never thought would become my career.
1. Setting the Mood – starting with music/entertainment, invitation design, lighting, choosing the scent and curating guest list.
BM: How do you recruit your staff and what makes one Shiraz worthy? Both: Graciousness. Our Shiraz standard: professionalism, great attitude, always friendly, presentable, well-groomed and knowledgeable BM: Do you prefer expansion or prefer a more family-oriented styled company? Both: There is no difference between the two styles in any of our offices. We encourage a family-like structure, where we support, encourage and communicate with each other no matter the office location. Always open to expansion.
2. Planning Ahead – create a one-week plan leading up to the event. 3. Effortless Entertaining - If not hiring bartenders, create a beverage service where guests can serve themselves. Craft a cocktail of the night which you can premix and display in a crystal container with a spout. Have back-up trays of food ready to serve. Bonus (!): If the event is themed, ensure that the theme is carried throughout – including food and beverage, invitation and instructions for guests on dress code.

In acquisitions like these, there is always potential but designers end up being micromanaged, which in this case could be catastrophic. A&F is taking a risk and if things do not change with Levine at their side, the brand could potentially fold. On the other hand, we are excited to see where the brand will take off with Levine’s creations under the A&F esthetic. Fabio Fernandez @countofalba fabio@ bellomag.com Photo: Ilya S.

These innuendo editorials led to its mass popularity. The in-house publication ran from 1997 through 2003. This publication faced several hardships, from MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) condemning an editorial in their “back to school” issue featuring alcoholic drink beverages to cultural and racial discrimination lawsuits based on the lack of diversity in its glossy pages. Finally, in December of 2003, the brand released its final issue titled “280 pages of moose, ice hockey, chivalry, group sex and more” and Chairman and CEO Mike Jeffries 47
announced that he ended the Quaterly because he was “bored”. The brand in itself has also had its fair share of struggles. Bad sales led to the removal of then-CEO Mike Jeffries in 2014. With the brand hanging by a thread, the hopes of revival in men’s design now lie in the hands of Aaron Levine, former VP of men’s design for Club Monaco. Levine led a new era of menswear for Club Monaco, bringing a more highend design sensibility that coincided with the opening of stand-alone men’s shops and the brand getting picked up by Mr. Porter.

THE MARVELOUSLY VERSATILE TORREY DEVITTO HAS GRACED OUR SCREENS FOR OVER A DECADE. THE FORMER FASHION MODEL, MUSICIAN AND ACTOR HAS PLAYED A BEVY OF CHARACTERS IN AMERICA’S MOST BELOVED DRAMAS. WITH CARRIE, THE INFAMOUS PSYCHOTIC NANNY IN CW’S ICONIC ONE TREE HILL (WHO COULD FORGET HER!) AND THE BEAUTIFUL, MYSTERIOUS MELISSA HASTINGS IN ABC’S PRETTY LITTLE LIARS, DEVITTO HAS EXEMPLIFIED HER SHEER TALENT--CLEARLY SHE’S NOT JUST A PRETTY LITTLE FACE!
From the overwhelming support of One Tree Hill fans, to viewers’ mixed reactions, to the reveal of A’s identity in Pretty Little Liars, and now her upcoming role in Chicago Med, this creative powerhouse of an actress recently took a breather and sat down with BELLO mag and revealed a bit about her iconic roles and some juicy backstories.
so invested, so no matter what your reaction was, positive or negative, the fact that they were still able to shock people, I think is amazing. I liked the whole twist they had on it.
BM: Aside from Pretty Little Liars, you have appeared in two huge CW series, The Vampire Diaries and One Tree Hill. Do fans still recognize you from your One Tree Hill days?
BM: As an actress in the show, do the directors keep you in the dark with what’s going on?
BELLO mag: So obviously one of your most iconic roles is playing Melissa Hastings in Pretty Little Liars, which has such a dedicated fan base, do you find that daunting at all?
TDV: [We’re] very in the dark, I don’t know anything that’s going on. They only reveal to me what I need to know to make that scene work. They’re very secretive and for good reason, they’re really good at protecting the script!
TDV: Just this year I’m getting recognised more for Pretty Little Liars but I still get recognised from One Tree Hill, I swear those fans are the most intense that I’ve come across! They are very loyal; I will have people coming up to me all the time about it. I adopted a rabbit for a little bit and everyone was like ‘Oh no’ and saying all this stuff, and I thought, ‘Why do they think I’m going to kill this bunny?’ People remember everything! No matter what I do, the fans always relate back to crazy nanny Carrie!
Torrey DeVitto: Yeah, I mean I didn’t know the show was going to end up doing what it did, running for this long and to have this much of a following, so it’s definitely very cool and surreal. I’m honoured to be part of a show that has this sort of impact. BM: The fans had quite a mixed reaction to the reveal of A, what was your reaction when you found out? TDV: I thought it was really cool. Before I knew, I kept thinking to myself, ‘how are they going to reveal that it’s someone who none of the fans have suspected before?’ There were so many theories flying around and people were 51
BM: You play Spencer’s older sister in the show and there were definitely some scenes throughout where they would hint at you being A, or at least being associated with A’s shenanigans. Did you ever wish your character were revealed as A? TDV: I guess it would have been cool but to [be] honest I think Melissa has too many other things going on to be A. It’s nice to know that at some point she was genuinely trying to protect Spencer, no matter what they’re relationship is. Melissa’s been in the show since the pilot so it’s good know this is a character than can carry through to the end.
BM: You had a One Tree Hill reunion a few weeks ago, which the fans went nuts for! How was it being with the cast again? TDV: Yeah it was so much fun, I keep in touch here and there. I’ve done a couple of these One Tree Hill conventions now so I’ve gotten to know the cast even more in different ways than when I was working on the show because I didn’t get to work with everyone--which is kind of cool.

BM: Do you miss being on The Vampire Diaries? It seems like a real family oriented cast. TDV: Yeah it was great, I feel like I did my thing on there and it was a fun character. I loved being on that show, I felt very grateful to be on it. Everyone received me so well, it really is like a family over there. BM: You’ve been cast as Dr. Lilly Manning in the upcoming series Chicago Med. What can you tell me about your character that we don’t already know? TDV: I am so excited to play this character because I feel like it’s a dream job for me, it’s everything I’ve been wanting and putting energy out into the universe, I absolutely love it. It’s been an absolute pleasure so far and we haven’t even started filming yet! I also had the chance to be in Amy Makes Three and it was probably one of my favourite projects I’ve ever worked on. I really loved the script, I loved everyone I worked with, Mike Doyle and Ursula Parker. It’s a drama, psychological thriller and it was the most emotionally demanding thing I’ve ever done and I felt like I grew so much from that project. It’s the first time in my career that I’m like, ‘Okay, I can’t wait to sit down with all the people that I love and watch this!’ 53

Apply Light Wonder Foundation from Charlotte Tilbury and blend for a light, natural finish. For a sexy bronzed glow, brush the sculpt shade of “Filmstar Bronze and Glow” under the cheekbones and across the forehead. Use the highlighter from the same palette on the top of the cheekbones and down the bridge of the nose.
A cat eye is always a sexy option. Try Charlottle Tilbury “Rock and Kohl” in Bedroom Black to line the eye. A little flick on the outer corners adds instant drama.
Start out with damp hair. Add a pea size amount of Kevin Murphy Hair Resort Beach Texturizer. Then, use a large boar bristle round brush throughout the hair, concentrating on building height at the crown by over-directing the hair in the opposite direction you want it to fall. Use a flat iron section by section to lightly smooth and add shine. Be careful to not take out all of the body. Finish with a very small amount of the Beach Texturizer. Don’t be afraid to flip the part from side to side, as this creates volume.

Use a comb to part the hair straight down the middle. Spray Oribe dry texture spray throughout for added texture and grit. Use a teasing comb to backcomb the areas where you want height. Pull hair back into low pony and use a bungee elastic careful not to lose the height you just created (you can watch bungee elastic how to on youtube). Use your fingers at the crown to make sure you have enough height and pull out any pieces you want to create that soft fuzzy texture. Finish with a bit of hair spray. This look will look best a bit roughed up. So feel free to keep it messy and sexy.
To instantly amp up your makeup, add liner to the top and bottom waterlines and smudge around the entire eye. Don’t worry about being too precise; a little messy is sexy.
With the eyes the focus, add a nude or pink lipstick for just a flush of color. “K.I.S.S.I.N.G” in Nude Kate by Charlotte Tilbury is great for most skin tones. The color was inspired by Kate Moss; making it rocker meets chic.
