Editor’s Letter

TO ALL THE FEMME FATALES,

F

emme Fatale Magazine is intended to be an one step guide to the best fashion style. Women need to learn and use the experts’ fresh tips and match all the fashion elements to be a real fashionista.

Every woman has a passion of being a trendy, attractive, and stylish woman. The most important thing of beauty is finding their own style because the range of beauty is extremely wide.

When people find their own style that is suitable, unique, and stylish, they satisfy with themselves and can be more

confident. The style can be what they like or what they prefer but it is also significant to think about what style is better on themselves.

Some people might like trendy looks only but matching well is more important. To improve the great perspective, people should see, feel, hear, and experience. Threfore, Femme Fatale Magazine will help the readers by offering useful fashion tips and information, lots of trendy and unique items, and secret inforamtion about the cover story. This issue basically consists of Top Secret section, featured story of Kate Upton who is one of the most popular fashion icons, swag products page with all the brandnew fashion items, and so on. With Femme Fatale, readers can find the brandnew style for themselves and finally follow their passion for fashion.

Your forever supporter,

Hailey Kim

DONUTS

They say sex is like a doughnut: Even at its worst, is it ever really bad?

Well, once you consume, in rapid succession, as many doughnuts as we have in the last few weeks, you start to believe it can be.

By Ali Trachta photographed by Chris, Tamara, Nick + Elyse

S

o as an act of public service, we scoured the city for the best doughnuts around, all worth the sugar crash you’ll inevitably experience later. We focused our search on actual doughnut shops, as opposed to restaurants that serve them on the menu -- with the exception of one, because if you’re going to order a doughnut from a waitress, it seems fitting to do so at a 24-hour diner. Turn the page for our list of the Top 10 doughnuts in L.A.

10. Maggie’s Donuts:

There’s one main reason to swing by Maggie’s, and that’s the custard-filled iced chocolate bar, which is so, well, custard-filled, it’s literally bursting. Served split down the middle, you get a peek before you eat at the erupting cool vanilla epicenter, which couples perfectly with the soft and sweet doughnut shell. Some of the custard will spill out onto your fingers, and you’ll lap it up, and you won’t care how that looks. 2612 E. Sixth St., Los Angeles; 213-383-1511.

9. Spudnuts:

Out of the chains around L.A., Spudnuts is our top pick. It’s a basic shop with a hefty handful of locations all around L.A. and the Valley.

As such, it’s best to keep your order simple, too. If you’re gonna do chocolate, do it all the way with the chocolate-frosted and chocolate chip-topped chocolate doughnut. Even better, though, is the vanilla cruller, which is only lightly glazed, but manages to pack a really

bright vanilla flavor. 2775 Van Nuys Blvd., Los Angeles; 818-896-4678

8. Du-Par’s:

Du-Par’s certainly isn’t a doughnut shop, but if you’re near the Grove location, it’s worth braving the highly congested parking lot to sample one of the few varieties this diner has on its menu. The classic glazed is a champion of its breed, puffed up to a thick, chewy consistency that requires serious jaw action for each bite. Du-Par’s gets the glaze just right too -- hardened barely past the point of sticky liquid to form something shy of a crust. The bear claw isn’t your run-of-the-mill, boasting a delicious almond filling that’s reminiscent of baklava. And the fact that it’s served warm certainly doesn’t hurt. 6333 W. Third St., Los Angeles; 323-933-8446.

7. Ms. Donuts:

In the Echo Park/Silver Lake area, you could do a lot worse than this old-fashioned shop, especially when the line at Taco Zone is too long and you need some late night sustenance. The maple bar was a little on the dry side, but the chocolate was the exact opposite -- in a good way -- with a texture that suggested it could have been cooked about 30 seconds longer, but we were glad it wasn’t.

The Old-Fashioned doughnut is also a winner here, with glaze so thick it softly crunches as you eat it. 1353 Glendale Blvd., Los Angeles; 213-484-0927.

INTO THE SURREAL FIDM’s 5th floor windows celebrate the surreal work of Elsa Schiaparelli

BY Hamish Bowles

“M

adder and more original than most of her contemporaries, Mme Schiaparelli is the one to whom the word ‘genius’ is applied most often,” Time magazine wrote of its cover subject in 1934. Coco Chanel once dismissed her rival as “that Italian artist who makes clothes.” (To Schiaparelli, Chanel was simply “that milliner.”)

Indeed, Schiaparelli— “Schiap” to friends—stood out among her peers as a true nonconformist, using clothing as a medium to

express her unique ideas.

In the thirties, her peak creative period, her salon overflowed with the wild, the whimsical, and even the ridiculous. Many of her madcap designs could be pulled off only by a woman of great substance and style: Gold ruffles sprouted from the fingers of chameleon-green suede gloves; a pale-blue satin evening gown—modeled by Madame Crespi in Vogue— had a stiff overskirt of Rhodophane (a transparent, glasslike modern material); a smart black suit jacket

had red lips for pockets.

Handbags, in the form of music boxes, tinkled tunes like “Rose Marie, I Love You”; others fastened with padlocks. Monkey fur and zippers (newfangled in the thirties) were everywhere. love of trompe l’oeil can be traced to the faux-bow sweater that kick-started Schiaparelli’s career and brought her quirky style to the masses.

“Dare to be different,” is the advice she offered to women. Pace-setters and rule-breakers waved that flag through the sixties, the seventies, and beyond.

THE RISE OF KATE UPTON FROM CATALOG TO COMEDY.

K

ate Upton may be one of the most desirable women on the planet, a crossover star who has successfully made the leap from the salt mines of modeling to the high-fashion arena, but don’t hate her because she is beautiful. As Upton explains, with made-for-talk-show candor that belies her usual perky self, catalog modeling is not as easy as it appears, and her journey from nowhere to everywhere has come at a special price.

Sort of. “I now suffer from Catalog Tourette’s,” says the 21-year-old Michigan-born sexplosion, in a cheeky attempt at deadpan that quickly dissolves into a hearty chortle. “I can switch a pose like it’s no one’s business,” she adds, with accompanying sorta-kinda-maybe vogueing moves. “As soon as I hear a camera click, I’m on. I tell you, it’s a serious nervous condition.” The thought of her having a Pavlovian response to the sound of a camera is amusing (no wonder she claims to be uninterested in click-click-click runway work).

But to spend time with the personable Upton is to know that

even when she is writhing around in the backseat of a convertible Cadillac for a Carl’s Jr. Super Bowl commercial that was so hot it was banned, she is still very serious about her hotter-than-Hades career.“Kate has an incredible joie de vivre,” says Ivan Bart, the

“She walks into a room and she kills it–some can and some can’t. People tend to focus on how bubbly she is,

but she is also extremely ambitious.” By Upton’s own reckoning there was never any Plan B, and the idea to go into modeling full-time, hatched as a 15-year-old obsessed with the charter members of the Swimsuit Sisterhood of Cindy, Nikki, Heide, and Co., was hers alone.

(The only condition set by Upton’s “ridiculously supportive” mother, Shelley, was that she had to finish her high school degree online with a view to attending college.) Even before she decided, at 18, to hightail it to New York, because things weren’t moving fast enough in her adopted Florida, she made sure to do her homework. “My life isn’t as manufactured as people think,” she offers, in between sips of coffee. “I have dreams and I express them. But it’s a business and you have to be a good observer if you want to do your job properly.”

By Kely Smith

W

hat do Jean Genet, Jimmy Durante, Brigitte Bardot, Georgia O’Keeffe, Jacques Cousteau, Andy Warhol, and Lena Horne have in common? They were a few of the many personalities caught on film by photographer Richard Avedon. For more than fifty years, Richard Avedon’s portraits have filled the pages of the country’s finest magazines. His stark imagery and brilliant insight into his subjects’ characters has made him one of the premier American portrait photographers.

24 FEMME FATALE

FEMME FATALE 25

26 FEMME FATALE

Born in New York in 1923, Richard Avedon dropped out of high school and joined the Merchant Marine’s photographic section. Upon his return in 1944, he found a job as a photographer in a department store. Within two years he had been “found” by an art director at Harper’s Bazaar and was producing work for them as well as Vogue, Look, and a number of other magazines. During the early years, Avedon made his living primarily through work in advertising. His real passion, however, was the portrait and its ability to express the essence of its subject.

Many sought out Avedon for their most public images. His artistic style brought a sense of sophistication and authority to the portraits.

More than anything, it is Avedon’s ability to set his subjects at ease that helps him create true, intimate, and lasting photographs. Throughout his career Avedon has maintained a unique style all his own.

Famous for their minimalism, Avedon portraits are often well lit and in front of white backdrops. When printed, the images regularly contain the dark outline of the film in which the image was framed.

Within the minimalism of his empty studio, Avedon’s subjects move freely, and it is this movement which brings a sense of spontaneity to the images. Often containing only a portion of the person being photographed, the images seem intimate in their imperfection. While many photographers are interested in either catching a moment in time or preparing a formal image, Avedon has found a way to do both.

Beyond his work in the magazine industry, Avedon has collaborated on a number of books of portraits. In 1959 he worked with Truman Capote on a book that documented some of the most famous and important people of the century. Observations included images of Buster Keaton, Gloria Vanderbilt, Pablo Picasso, Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Mae West.
