W
ell... I will start by introducing myself. My name is Angelica Tovar and I am the editor of
Salut Magazine. I would start by saying thank you for taking your time to browse through this magazine. Holding a magazine in hand is becoming more dated, but it is a quality method of reading. Salut is a quality magazine for people with a sophisticated taste and slight nostalgia for the past. This issue is named the Hollywood Issue including stories about Hollywood Dame Jayne Mansfield’s “Pink Palace” and London’s Mimi Wade, the designer bringing Old Hollywood back from the dead with her Noire inspired prints and feminine shapes. Our third story features director and photographer Nadia Lee, whos work is always a combination of beauty and ugly done seamlessly. Hope you enjoy your read. Looking forward to hearing from you. Till next time,

WINDOWS INTO THE SURREAL FIDM’S 5TH FLOOR WINDOWS CELEBRATE THE SURREAL WORK OF ELSA SCHIAPARELLI
Photocredit Portrait: Irving Penn Windows: photographed by Carlos Diaz
Madder 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.[1] Coco Chanel once dismissed her rival as “that Italian artist who makes clothes.” (To Schiaparelli, Chanel was simply “that milliner.”)[2]. 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

THE MAJORELLE GARDENS OF MORROCCO AN EXPERENCIAL MASTERPIECE OF DESIGN AND CULTURE
Photography and Story by Feliz Castello
T
he Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech is one of the most visited sites in Morocco. It took French painter Jacques Majorelle (1886-1962) forty years of passion and dedication to create this enchanting garden in the heart of the “Ochre City�. We amble along shady lanes, in the midst of trees and exotic plants of dreamy origin; we walk past refreshing, burbling streams and pools filled with water lilies and lotus flowers; we hear wafting through the air, laden with sugared fragrance, the rustling of leaves and the chirping of numerous birds who come here to take refuge; we stop, and the path turns unexpectedly, revealing a building with Moorish charm, with a hint of Art Deco, painted in astonishingly vibrant primary colours, glowing with an intense blue the artist 12

n the day before London Fashion
Week, British-American designer Mimi Wade finds herself not in her studio,
but at Bleach Salon, the Dalston beauty
institution known for electrifying the manes of It Brits
like Georgia May Jagger and Florence Welch. “I’m getting my hair redone right now,” says the 26-year-old, whose
screen-siren features—high-crested cheekbones, a plush
pout—are accented by a striking silver streak in her long brunette lengths. It’s looking a bit drab.
Granny Pammy “ My is probably the most
inspiring human being in my life. She was an actress in the 1950s and 60s and now she lives in West Hollywood with her cats and dogs.
”
Having started her career under the prestigious umbrella of Fashion East, Wade has quickly become known for
the outré prints—kitschy B movie posters, horror-flick graphics, and Polly Pocket patterns—that decorate her
baby doll dresses and lacy slips. The collection was inspired by my Granny Pammy. I went to visit her on Fountain
Avenue, West Hollywood, the summer before I went back to St Martin’s for my final year. I told her that she would
be my muse for the collection and asked her if she had any photos or clothes that I could have as research material.
About 20 boxes full of photographs, film stills and articles were unearthed and I proceeded to rifle through the
treasures which included a photograph of her by Richard
Avedon, which she explained was taken at the time when

REMEMBERING
PABLO FERRO
“MASTER OF THE TITLE�
P
ablo Ferro (1935-2018) was a graphic designer and film titles designer from Antilla, Cuba. He is most well-known for his title design work on Dr. Strangelove, The Thomas Crown Affair, Bullitt, The Addams Family, and Men In Black. Pablo taught himself animation using a book by Preston Blair, a former animator at Walt Disney Productions and the MGM animation department.
He began freelancing in the mid-50s in the New York animation industry for Academy Pictures and Elektra Studios. He met and befriended colleagues like former Disney animator William Tytla and Stan Lee, then-future editor of Marvel Comics. In 1961, he was one of the partners to form Ferro, Mogubgub, and Schwartz, but in 1964 he moved on to form his own company, Pablo Ferro Films.
