Tips for beautiful skin

KEEP IT HEALTHY!

• Selenium is often referred to as the beauty mineral. Make sure you eat at least 5 Brazilian nuts a day, in order to prevent premature aging and to help maintain your skin and hair healthy.

These things in your kitchen, should NOT be missed during the cold season: Bioflavanoids (found in berries, kiwifruit, citrus fruits), honey, nuts, wheat and vegetables!

Methyl, Propyl, Butyl and Ethyl Parabens- Preliminary research found parabens in human breast cancer tumors! Diethanolamine (DEA), Triethanolamine (TEA)These chemicals are toxic and can cause dryness . Diazolidinyl Urea, Imidazolidinyl Urea- These chemicals were found to be the primary cause of dermatitis. Petrolatum (petroleum jelly) – A mineral oil that will clog your pores, leading to dryness and chapping. Propylene Glycol- This is known to cause hives and eczema. Beware of related chemicals labeled PEG and PPG. PVP/VA Copolymer: A petroleum-derived chemical mainly used in hair styling products and considered toxic since if inhaled, it can damage the lungs. Synthetic Fragrances- Labeled simply as “fragrance,” there’s no way to tell what chemicals are actually in the product. This “tricky” chemical can cause hyper-pigmentation, (which means this chemical may cause brown spots to form on your skin), headaches, dizziness, rashes, and respiratory problems. Synthetic Colors: Labeled as FD&C or D&C – the products will look pretty, but these chemicals can be carcinogenic. Stearalkonium Chloride- This is a toxic chemical found in hair conditioners and lotions. Use natural conditioning ingredients such as proteins instead! Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate- This cheap, harsh detergent is derived from petroleum and can cause eye irritation, dry scalp, skin rashes and other allergic reactions. Be aware of the pseudo-natural products that list this ingredient with the phrase “comes from coconuts”- it is still bad!

WE’RE NEVER BEHIND • Cucumber is a natural make-up remover! Cut a refrigerated cucumber in very small pieces, put it in the mixer and make it a juice. Add 2 tablespoons of milk and use it to take your make-up off with a clean cotton ball. The cucumber will also help against puffiness and swelling of the skin. Your eyes will look fresh and well rested the PHOTOGRAPHY BY next day. PETER MROSEK • Keep your body moisturized! Before taking a bath, HAIR & MAKE-UP ARTIST: Pascal add 1 liter of milk, a cup of honey and 2 tablespoons of olive Schweickhardt oil in your bath-tub. Or even three tablespoons of olive oil, MODEL: Katharina if you really want to spoil yourselves.

If you suffer from dermatitis, ditch the citrus fruits and lower your intake of saturated fats! Apply fresh ALOE VERA juice on every morning for 10-15 mins., then rinse off with cold water!

Cool Facts! by Chyla Camacho An auction in Vienna, Austria sold the most expensive camera ever in history. It was a 1923 Leica camera, which was auctioned for $2.8 million.

This images were not shot at Zara

Worldwide retail success Amancio Ortega opened the first Zara store in 1975 and named his store Zorba after watching the classic film Zorba the Greek, but had to rearrange the name, since there was a bar that was called the same, Zorba, only two blocks away.

Did you know? Which side of your face is better? Studies observed that your left side is much more aesthetically attractive. After studying the left and right sides of peoples’ faces, the study believes that the left side of the face exudes a stronger sense of emotion.

Old-school make-uptricks In Renaissance Italy, a long lasting red lipstick and cheek stain was invented and became popular amongst women. A concoction of cochineal and sandalwood mixed with wax or grease created this beautiful make-up that lasted longer than a week.

Wearing pants below the butt is a trend that initiated in the American jails. Prisoners who were willing to have sex with other prisoners came up with this sign, (by partially showing their butts in order to express that they were available to be penetrated by other convicts-roommates).

In Ancient Greece, the hair color blonde was wanted most by the Greeks. Majority of Greeks had naturally dark hair so blonde was very rare and considered alluring and attractive. Different plant extracts and arsenic was used to lighten dark hair to achieve the most wanted hair color.

Real Talk In 1991, a study shows that Hollywood make-up artists and photographers who worked for female politicians increased the chances of an election win by 30%.

The word «Supermodel» Janice Dickinson, an American model, and former judge on America’s Next Top Model, claims she is the world’s first «Supermodel». What do you guys think?

The word «Supermodel» was first used in 1891 by the artist Henry Stacy Marks.

Took a war to decide The wristwatch, originally called a wristlet, was a passing trend for women, in the early 1900s, rather than a serious timepiece. Instead men, were carrying pocket watches and were quoted saying that they would rather wear a skirt than a wristwatch. During World War I, soldiers found the pocket watches impractical and started wearing wristwatches as well.

Olga Khizver

Photo is by Anna Shmel Make-up and hair: Olga Khizver

Olga Khizver found out that show business and make-up go hand-in-hand at a very early age. She has studied professional dance since the age of five. A graduate of the High School of the Professional Performing Arts, Olga performed professionally with her dance group for several years. She always enjoyed preparing for her performances because make-up application was a big part of the process. She has been transforming herself and her dance partners to fit the theme of the costumes and dance routines since early age. The world of fashion, make-up, and aesthetic transformation is not new to her; she was always the one doing it all. A Russian-born native, Olga came to the U.S.A. at the age of fourteen. However, her inspiration came to her as she was working for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in Macy’s Herald Square in New York City. Once she began to do promotional makeovers, and realized that her customers were in awe of the transformation they saw in the mirror, Olga realized that this is her calling. Olga began working as a professional make-up artist at the end of 2008. Once she entered the professional scene, her talent was quickly recognized. She already had several unique opportunities to do make-up for photo-shoots at WWD and the Hamptons Magazine. What sets Olga’s work apart from anyone else’s is that she has a unique sense of style and balance. Her intuitive nature and experience transforming people’s faces with the use of make-up and color, contributes to her own personal style. Time efficient, but also very attentive to every little detail, Olga will not stop until she reaches perfection. Whether she aims to achieve a natural look, or she has to fit the style to the high-fashion image, any job is a challenge to her. It is almost a second nature the way she approaches her work, and the end result is… another satisfied customer.

HOTTEST MAKE-UP TIPS OF THE SEASON What inspired you to become a make-up artist? I have always been inspired by fashion and beauty. I started my make-up career by doing make-up for friends and family, then my passion grew even stronger. I started working with Bobbi Brown Cosmetics where I knew I had what it takes to become a professional make-up artist. What are the pros and cons of your job? The pros of my job: I get to do what you love every day. I always meet amazing people and make new connections. I`m always surrounded by positive energy and make people feel their best. I get to work with amazing photographers and models and do test shoots where you can express creativity and get amazing images after. I get to travel and work with different clients, celebrities. Like any job there are also cons: There are times when I work long hours and might have to do a lot of assisting and free gigs. What is your favorite make-up tool and why? My most favorite make-up tool is Beauty Blender make-up sponge. I use this everyday. It simply helps me to apply make-up flawlessly. Do you have a specific make-up style and how would you describe it? The make-up style that I usually do is natural. I like to enhance the woman’s best feature by adding a pop of color on the lips or bringing out her eye color. Also, depending on the occasion,

Trend Privé Magazine 20

I love making my clients feel bright, young and sexy. What is the most important item a woman should have in her make-up kit and why? The most important item that women should have in her make-up kit is mascara. I know a lot of women don’t have time for make-up every day, so if I would choose one item, it would be mascara, because it always gives your eyes a beautiful pop. Is there a rule to finding a lipstick for your hair color or face shape? You want to pick a lip color that goes with the tone of your hair and also the tone of your skin. If you are cool tone or warm, you also want to stick with those colors when choosing a lip color. When testing a used lipstick, the pad of the fingertips is closer to your natural lips color. Is that true? If not, how should we test a used lipstick? You can definitely test the lip color on the pad of your hand and hold it up to your lip. Another sanitary way is to clean the lipstick with alcohol and try it on. Any tips on how we can get more from our make-up without breaking the bank? My tips on how you can get more from your makeup without breaking the bank is you definitely want to invest on make-up brushes, but everything else can be fun and cheap. When it is time to buy a new shade of lipstick? The time to buy a new shade of lipstick should be every season. Which colors are in for this season? The colors that are in for this season are all about

dark berry tones and reds. Nudes are always good with smoky eyes. For eye-shadows, it would be copper eye-shadow, platinum eye-shadow. Have you worked with any celebrities? If yes, which ones? Celebrities I worked with are Caroline Murphy, Desirree Gruber, Stefani Greenfield, Kaya Scodelario, and Alexandra Madar. If not, whom would you love to work with and what make-up style would you give them? I would love to work with Megan Fox. I have always loved her. I think she is beautiful in every way. The style I would give her is definitely old Hollywood, beautiful winged eyeliner, and red lips with nice glow-y skin. In this career-field, how do you find your clients? Any tips for our aspiring make-up artists on how to start this journey? In this career, the best way to find clients would be networking and making connections. The best way to start this journey is by going to school and taking courses for make-up. Start building your portfolio and try to assist another make-up artist where you can learn different tricks and techniques. And work at any cosmetic counter so you can practice make-up on different ethnicities.

CARLA PRUDENCIO Most wanted Hair Tips

Carla is a highly educated and aspiring stylist with a few years of experience. She is currently training at Frederick Fekkai in NY. Carla graduated from the New York Hair Design Institute. Prior to this Carla was a runway model from Emanuel Agency. Carla was born in Bolivia and enjoys traveling which is a testament to having lived in 7 countries and speaking 5 languages. carlapruden@gmail.com

What inspired you to become a hair stylist?

Since I was a little girl I always liked to play with my Barbies, giving them new looks and chopping their hair off. Not to mention that in every party all the girls from my family would come to me to do different hair styles and it always felt natural to me. I learned to braid when I was about 5 years old and I knew back then that there was a real love connection. When I was younger, I was a model and was constantly surrounded by hair stylists in the beauty industry. But what inspired me the most was this amazing city, New York. Living here in NY made me want to have a career as a hair stylist and made me look at things in a different lens. Very different from where I grew up.

Do you have a signature hair style and how would you describe it?

My signature hair style is definitely sexy casual. Very chic but in a simple and elegant fashion.

Which celebrity would you style and how would you improve their looks?

I would love to work with Angelina Jolie. There is not much to improve because she is simply gorgeous. She is the type of woman that I just admire and it would be an absolute pleasure to work with her.

How can we get a hairbrush to last longer? And how often do we need to replace a hairbrush?

It all depends on the quality of the brush.. There are many different companies that make amazing brushes. I personally don’t do any maintenance on my brushes. I just disinfect each brush after each use and try to replace them every 4 to 6 months.

Do we need to use a shampoo and conditioner from the same product range?

No. Hair is like fashion, there are no rules but some best practices. You can mix and match according to your needs and preferences.

How can we protect our hair from city pollution?

It’s remarkable how most folks don’t realize the effect city pollution and sun damage plays on our hair. Prevention is the best medicine. There are specialist companies that make great products to prevent this damage like Fekkai, Kerastase or Alterna to name a few. It`s important to find the right product that works for each individual.

How can we give our hair more sheen?

There are many ways you can achieve this. There are serums that do a great job, some glossing creams and the biggest secret of all is to rinse your hair with cold water because it seals the cuticle of the hair. Another simple and old fashion method is a good blow out, which will leave your hair shiny.

Which are the best straighteners to use?

Brazil blowout is the one that I prefer. Just because it minimizes the damage to your hair after the process is done. It also leaves your hair looking natural with some movement… kind of a natural straight, unlike the Japanese straighteners that look unnaturally straight . Those often last a few months and cause long-term damage to your hair.

How can we add more volume to the hair?

You start from the foundation. First use volume shampoo and no conditioner or at most condition the ends only. Then add some mousse, rubbing it into the roots of the hair. Sometimes rollers are the best for very fine hair and over directing when you blow dry is key as well.

10 Do you have any tips or advice for those aspiring hair stylists? My Moto in life is to stay passionate in whatever you do. If you enjoy what you do, you will never work a day in your life. Be persistent, have a positive attitude and most important of all…listen to the client`s concerns.

ANNA-LOUISE FELSTEAD www.alfelstead.com info@alfelstead.com

Stewart Wilkie I had Anna-Louise paint the scene as I had just been to the Forth Bridge with my Grandson, Felix, who is 2.5 years old. He was so interested in the train going over the Forth Bridge, so I decided a scene with my Rolls Royce and Bentleys coming off the ferryboat, that I used regularly as a child myself, could be a nice winter scene. I collect fine rare automobiles and have one of the cars in the painting in the Bentley section of the Wolfsburg museum on loan http://www.autostadt.de/ Anna has done a series of six paintings for me that are all about my cars. I love her style and as I have designed and sold clothing for decades around the world seems to think it`s in the style I like. Trend Privé Magazine 23

Homemade Christmas ORNAMENTS STYROFOAM CHRISTMAS GLOBE Things you will need: *10 cm styrofoam ball *fabric *ribbon *pins

PASTA SNOW FLAKES Things you will need: *large and small wagon wheels pasta *glue (or glue gun) *glossy, fast-drying white spray paint *white glue *water *sponge paint brush *ribbon

Merry Christmas!

1. Cut a piece of fabric; make sure it’s big enough to cover the whole ball. I cut mine about 26cm x 26cm. Place the ball on top of it and gather up the fabric and tie it tight with a ribbon. 2. If needed, trim the fabric on top and give it a nice shape. To add more details to your ornament, wrap the middle of the ball with ribbon and fix it with fancy pins. (You can wrap the ornament with ribbon also vertically. This way you can create a hanger and tie the top with a thicker ribbon in a bow). You can use whatever fabrics, colors and pins you desire. You can add a spring of evergreen, bows or any details that you think will make your ornament a success! 1. Arrange the pasta until you find a snowflake shape you like and glue them together. Use strong craft glue or a glue gun. Let it dry for a couple of minutes. Depending on what kind

of glue you use, it may take more or less time to dry. 2. Once the glue is dry, spray the ornament with a thin layer of glossy, fast-drying white spray paint and let dry. Repeat more times, but always spray thin layers so the pasta won’t soften and ruin its shape. 3. Make sure the snowflake is completely dry before you apply the glue, which you diluted with a little bit of water. Use a sponge brush to lightly coat your ornament then sprinkle a generous amount of glitter. Let it dry. 4. If you want to hang them, all you need to do is attach a looped length of ribbon or any fabric you like. Crafting and creating is the biggest passion of mine, and I hope you will enjoy making all these ornaments as much as I did. You can craft wonderful things for your loved ones. You can involve your children as well. The time spent with them doing fun things is priceless. Let’s all be honest, handmade items are also a smart way to save money. Adriana Oancea, Writer

Think outside of the box when it comes to wrapping this year`s Christmas gifts. For our first creative gift wrap idea, any kind of semi-hard paper (newspaper, maps, calendars, wallpaper, pages from a copy of her/ his favorite book) will work. If it`s an old newspaper with sepia tone to it, you can use a simple string to tie on a new kind of bow: a bow-tie pasta! If it`s a simple white wallpaper, you can use a satin ribbon to tie and add a natural flower on top. Make sure that the flower is flat (not a rose) and that it’s the same color as the ribbon. You can stick the flower on top of the ribbon with double-sided tape underneath it. If it`s a simple red, blue, black or brown paper, you can create polka dots or little hearts with a pencil-eraser. Velvet ribbon looks more luxurious on a paper with polka dots or hearts on it. If the paper that you chose is a colorful map, you can make it more fun by tying it with a jump-rope. If the paper is a calendar page, you can cleverly highlight the important and special dates. Polka dots or hearts are just a simple idea. You can also put a red-lipstick on and kiss the paper in different places to create a sentimental impression. You can crop out illustrations from old greeting cards and glue them on plain stock paper for creative garnishes. You can also scissor out different images and create a fun collage on a plain white paper. Bright construction paper could be a fun ribbon on a simple contrasting-color paper wrap. You can punch holes in the construction paper and use double-sided tape to add more drama to the presentation. Cut a straight band of simple paper and add it underneath a thinner ribbon of a similar tone. The shadow effect will tie everything together into an artistic appearance. If you`re in a hurry, buy decorative gift-boxes. These boxes don`t need any wrapping. LAST YEAR`S STUFF Last year`s holiday card, can become this year`s gift tag. You can cut it in a few smaller pieces and write on the back; or you can cut it in bigger pieces, fold it and write on the inside. Last year`s broken ornaments can become a fun addition to this year`s gift-wrap! Crush the broken ornament into small pieces (make sure you`re using proper gloves, otherwise you`ll cut yourself) and add a small amount of glue on the wrapped gift. Then sprinkle the crushed ornaments on the glue and wait for it to stick together. Last year`s circular boxes can be used again to wrap this year`s odd-shaped presents. If you don`t know what gifts to buy in order to re-use these boxes, here are some ideas: stuffed animals, dishware, bags and even travel pillows. You threw away all the last year`s stuff? No biggie. I call it clutter too. If you don`t have anything that you can re-use, with the help of your computer and printer, you can come up with something creative very quickly. You can print out images and let your gift paper do its magic. SHORT ON PAPER or YOU`RE AN ENVIRONMENTALIST? The new and hottest gift wrap at the moment is FABRIC! Transform the old clothes into a useful, fun gift wrapping idea. Lace can be a very sexy ribbon. In many Asian cultures, people often wrap gifts in cloth squares and use these swath fabric that they have around the house to make a less-wasteful gift presentation. You can also nicely wrap a gift in a new shirt, add a brooch and you will have three gifts in one. You can re-use colorful plastic bags to wrap a gift. If the bags are see-through, you can add more bags together, fold everything nicely and tape it. For even more originality, add a fun handmade plastic flower on a side of the gift. You can crop out different shapes of flowers, put them one on top of the other and fold the last petals inside, then staple everything together. After the flower is finished, add double-sided tape underneath it and attach it on the gift. If your gift is a nice bottle of wine, you can wrap it inside of a nice kitchen towel, for a two-in-one hostess gift. Don`t be afraid to use objects as part of the presentation. You can use a necklace to tie the gift together. You can use a tie or a napkin. You can even use a dollar bill to wrap your teenager`s favorite candy. Step outside of the box and make this Christmas an unforgettable one! Trend Privé Magazine 35

JT Seibert

Hello beautiful people! I just want to thank God and the lovely individuals at Trend Prive Magazine for this interview. My name is J.T. Seibert and I’m a singer/songwriter/performer from the East Coast U.S.A.. Ever since I was young, music has been a huge part of my life and has touched my soul. Essentially, it’s made me the man I am today, a thankful person. Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the priviledge to work with some phenomenal musicians, producers and industry professionals throughout The States. Allow me to share a few: Chad Szeliga (Multi-platinum selling drummer Black Label Society/Breaking Benjamin), who is an amazing person and friend. Chad is not only a drummer, but a remarkable songwriter as well. Nick Rich (the great “Buddy Rich’s” Grandson) is a spirit driven person, who I personally think is a musical genius, and is in the group called NEFU managed by the gorgeous, intelligent, and humble Cathy Rich. Co-writing/recording sessions with Grammy Award winning songwriter Jim Peterik (Survivor, wrote “Eye of the Tiger”, “Hold on loosely”), who has a genuine heart for music and people that I haven’t seen by many. I was also blessed to have my voice critiqued by Ron Alexenburg (Signed Michael Jackson, Bruce Springstein, Patti Labelle), and Wind up Records, Head of Artist scouting. As of later, I’ve decided I’ll be taking my career solo, gigging with musicians, co-writing with various artists and working on my new album that will be shopped to Major/Independent Record labels! I’m looking forward to the future and the opportunities that may come my way. My one dream has always been to have my music heard all across the world so I can help change people`s lives in a positive fashion. In times where natural disasters, political scandals, and economic waves escalate, I try and think as John Lennon said, “Give Peace a Chance”. When did you realize that you had this artist in you? Ever since I was a little boy. I would run up to my parents and do Elvis Presley impersonations. Jailhouse rock! To be honest, it was around 17 when I started commiting myself to the craft. Are you self taught or did you have training when it comes to singing? I pretty much just sang all the top selling artists of our times material for years. From Billy Joel, Usher, Gavin Degraw, Brian Mcknight and even Nsync and the Backstreet Boys in my teens. I did, however, purchase instruction from “Brett Manning Singing Success” in my early twenties. Brett has worked with recording artists from Capitol, Columbia, Atlantic, Interscope, Dreamworks, Lyric Street, MCA, Epic/Sony. Check him out, you won’t be sorry! Any musicians that you look up to and get inspired by when writing and singing your music? As far as writing goes, I’m a big Beatles fan. In my opinion, they set the standard for killer hooks, I also really enjoy Adam Levine from “Maroon 5”. The man`s got flow and swagger for sure. When you are writing, which comes first: lyrics or melody? For me, it’s more of a choice on which I’d like to experiment with. Of course, there’s no choosing when inspiration comes your way now, is there? I find my best material comes my way when I’m just about to fall asleep and slip into a dream. Sad, but true! I’ll be relaxed and just start hearing or visualizing certain things.Trippy...Favorite song of all time? Hands down, short and sweet “Let it be”, The Beatles. Favorite music genre you like to listen to? Pop music all the way, people! Today’s Pop crosses so many genres and styles, but what I love the most is a nice, clean, powerful voice. Truth be told, I enjoy female singers better than males. I’m still deciding who has a better voice: Beyonce or Christina? As a performer, was there ever a time you experienced stage fright? How did you overcome it? No way, I mean come on now, that’s just rediculous! Just kidding, I pretty much got the jitters out when I was younger at talent shows and different events. If I ever feel uncomfortable, I just block it out. I tell myself, “Guess what buddy, It’s happening, you`re not going anywhere, so deal with it and own it!” What music genre would you say your songs fall under? For my new album I’m going to go more in a billboard pop direction. I enjoy the digital beats and produced vocals. Even though I insist on meaningful, thought provoking lyrics; I’m not afraid to go with the times and frankly, I enjoy the sounds of today. From your experience, what advice could you give new artists that are just starting out? Perseverance, man...Ya don’t stop, quit, or listen to anyone taking you off your path. This is what dreams are made of. Where can our readers hear your music? For my new album, in the new year you can google my name “J.T.Seibert” where you’ll see links to my pages as well as my personal website. One particular site that allows easy access for new artists to stream their original music is Soundcloud. Here’s a link to some material: ttps://soundcloud.com/j-t-seibert God Bless!

Waiting…for the perfect time by Warren Boo Spearman

Get the

Dating and Relationships

tips I am Warren “Boo” Spearman. Graduate of East Carolina University, Class of 2004 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications, specializing in Electronic Journalism. Videographer and Photographer, and a cancer survivor since 2005. And what’s always interested me is the human chess battle of the sexes.

Warren & lady

Human Chess. We all play it, whether we are aware of it or not (and believe me, there are those who are playing Candyland). I used to believe some men played checkers and some women played chess. I was wrong, we all play chess, there are just those who know how to better manipulate the board than others. Never fear dear reader, for I am here to show you some chess moves due to my years of getting checkmated and checkmaking. There are many chessboards in the game of human chess, and one of the popular chessboards are the bars, clubs, and sports resturants. Pretty much, any place where there is an attractive waitress or female bartender, and no matter where you go (hooters, strip club, hell, maybe even the neighborhood McDonalds) the moves/rules are kind of universal. Trying to talk to a beautiful waitress or bartender can be a bit tricky, but I’ve learned that you have to capture their attention, either by being original, such as a having a book, or visual stimuli, such as being a sharp dresser, or having tattoos (as a guy having the latter, trust me, it’s a GREAT conversation starter). But of course, it still takes confidence and and being ORIGINAL. Remember, they hear cheesy lines 1,000 times a day. Minimum. They are down to earth for the most part, but you have to quickly deduce whether that look and that smile is the hustle, or the real deal. Make no mistake, it is a hustle. Do you think they would put up with that crap for free?! As guys, well NICE guys, we are especially eager to please. Don’t be. Remember: - have a line to draw in the sand - don’t be a hound when talking to them, be cool - have a natural chemistry (very important…can’t fake chemistry) - if you’re going to use cheesy pick-up lines, you better have a smile and an ability to make fun of yourself to bail you out of it if you’re trying to be serious In the end, like everything with dating, it’s all trial and error. They are still women and still people. So act like a jerk and you will be dealt with accordingly, unless she’s the type of girl who likes jerks, then you’re in! But you definitely have to be on your game, due to the odds being stacked against you ( a lot of guys trying to talk to them, could be busy, just could not be your day, or her week, etc…) Now that we have laid the background, let’s discuss the moves of the board. 1. Be original. -So important, it had to mentioned twice! 2. Don’t get too familiar. -If you’re sensing a connection between yourself and that cute waitress, and you’re hesitant at first about making a move, please resist urge to go to that place every day. It just makes you a stalker and that helps no one. -If possible, try to go every two to three weeks, this will give her time to miss you (if she likes you), and gives you time to come up with an original thought to keep you in the back of her mind. This is also good because you will stick out in the endless mine field from all those other dorks who think that stuff actually works. 3. Smile, make eye contact., simple high school type flirting, keep it innocent. -Nothing kills a mood quicker than an ill-timed or dirty joke, especially if she doesn’t know that about your sense of humor. You look like a idiot, and even worse, now she’s telling her co-workers about you. 4. Get deep. (No not that way) -I know you might seem like a massive nerd for taking a book into restaurant, but it’s nice conversation starter and it’s something you can build on. It also shows her you’re not one-dimensional who’s there to just stare at her. 5. Don’t let the smile fool you. -I can’t stress this one enough. Yes, she’s beautiful, but she’s there to be nice. She’s supposed to be, she’s in the hospitality business. BUT, if she holds that smile for a second longer…she digs you. -If she laughs at something you said you really didn’t mean to be funny, she digs you. -And in case you didn’t go to high school, hitting is a good thing... 6. BE A GRACIOUS TIPPER. (not that way, that also comes later) Of course, these are just my observations, but just for fun, I actually took a field trip to a local sports bar to ask some of the waitresses there about this, and these are their actual responses. Nia: “Eye contact definitely helps, but not in a creepy way. Make small talk to me while you’re there, before you leave and be original. And every time I walk by, don’t jump on me.” Jasmine: “ Definitely original, a sense of genuineness, and a sense of humor. Intellect is also huge for me, you can’t be dumb.” The game remains the same. Trend Privé Magazine 59

LASt WARRIOR

By KATJA KAt

THE VISION “I have kept an artistic background in my fashion editorials, apart from strong, creative side to my visuals I try to develop strong ideas and to have a concept within the fashion frame. I want my images to stress the creation within the destruction of societies urban structures. Trend Privé Magazine 60

Photography Katja Kat (www.katjakat.com) Model Michalis (Agencia Models) Accessories Gkiokan Karad Make up Vagelis Balakas Hair Agapi Stylidou

That’s why I shoot a lot of my editorials in abandoned buildings and destroyed urban spaces, I find beauty in the chaos of urban life for me it’s a process of creation within the destruction. I also like to cooperate with new innovative designers in order to get away from the usual franchise look of major brands and to create a unique look, the punk, tribal and fetish styles in fashion portray best my attitude.

LASt WARRIOR “LAST WARRIOR” Last warrior is all about creation versus destruction, survival and male strength. The styling was made with such elements as lots of chain accessories, fur, leather and belts most of which were custom made for the editorial by the innovative Greek designer Gkiokan Karad. By showing of natural male beauty and using outfits made from leather, metal and fur, placed within the environment predominantly made of wood there is a sense of fighting for the survival of natural, wild and free.

ANTONIO CAUSO Antonio worked in many top restaurants and he built a prestigious reputation for being one of the greatest chefs in Europe. He is currently living in the French part of Switzerland and continues to amaze his clients with different creations that he calls “my dishes”. Let`s see what kitchen advice and tips we can get from a TOP European chef today! MORE MUSTHAVES

Antonio Causo, after preparing our Editor-in-Chief a great vegan dish Cosimo: This job, you do it for passion or for money? First of all, I do it for passion even though in life money is indispensable: we build families, we do everything with it, but the main reason I do what I do, is for passion. I have been cooking since I was 15 and I can say I fell in love with it. I prepare everything with the greatest pleasure and I try to incorporate the 5 continents in my cooking. But honestly, the main cuisine that truly represents me is the Italian cuisine, the flavors and spices of “my land”. Cosimo: Where did this passion for cooking come from? Well, my first passion, to be quite honest, was working in the bar. I had so much fun working as a barman...Then while working there, I started having new experiences. I discovered new things, and fell in love with cooking. Living together, my sister and I had to learn to do everything around the house; and one of the things that I learned as a kid, was cooking. Cosimo: Which is your main dish that represents you and why? I don’t really have a main dish that represents me. I have a lot of them; but most of all, I can say that products, spices and ingredients that I use are what really represent me. Products and flavors from my land, Puglia; but also from other parts of Italy. Rediscovering and creating new dishes, that when you have it in front of you, it gives you emotion, and in the same time, satisfaction. That’s my main dish and what really represents me. Trend Privé Magazine 66

Cosimo: Is it true what they say about “never trust a skinny chef”? No, I don’t believe it is true. Also, because in the kitchen and being a chef, you have to try and taste everything you’ re cooking. So there are those who assimilate more and those who assimilate less, and obviously those who eat more and those who eat less.

Cosimo: What kind of chef would you call yourself, a chef that loves a molecular, fusion or traditional Cuisine? I like to describe myself as being a simple, genuine person. Therefore, I represent a cuisine that is not fusion or molecular, but a simple, bio-traditional one. I love working with simple, fresh ingredients that represent my country; ingredients that come from local producers.

Cosimo: Do you have somebody that buys your products for you or you do it yourself? No, I purchase everything I need to use in my kitchen myself. Like every Saturday, I visit my local farmer`s market and pick up the ingredients I need to create my dishes. It’s up to every chef to use the ingredients the way they think it’s best.

I love using the traditional wooden spoons

Cosimo: Which are the do’s and don`ts of some ingredients? In my opinion, there is no such thing as do’s and don`ts in the kitchen. We all know that everything is about creativity. Discovering NEW dishes and rediscovering old ingredients in combination with others that 7, 8, 10 years ago, we didn’t know was even possible; but it is all about innovation and creativity.

Having fresh Basil in my kitchen is almost vital

Cosimo: Tell me this then , would you ever use ingredients such as oregano in a spaghetti with traditional tomato sauce like many Americans do? Or grated parmesan sprinkler over pizza? How about basil in a fish recipe? No, I honestly would never do that. I would definitely use the basil with the tomato sauce pasta (spaghetti al pomodoro), oregano on a bruschetta and so on. THIS, I wouldn’t change, no matter how creative and openminded one is. Let’s call them “rules” when it comes with the traditionalist Italian cooking!

Bruschetta is a typical Italian apperizer

Cosimo: So, using parmesan sprinkled on the pizza is an anti- traditional thing? Yes indeed, it is! It is also a pity for the cheese itself!

KITCHEN TIPS Cosimo: Which are the ingredients that are indispensable to a chef? Well, I think that the main ingredient that should never be missed in a chef’s kitchen is the cold-press extra virgin olive oil (evoo). Why cold press? Because it is a high quality olive oil. The process does not ruin the texture, taste, nor aroma of the oil and Italy is one of the biggest producers of its kind. Other ingredients that a chef should always use are the flavors, spices and products of his territory and buying them from farmers markets and local producers.

Kitchen ARTIST

Ever since I was a kid, I learned that cheese is very important for us. It gives structure to the skin and improves digestion.

The

ART of COOKING RECIPES

Bruschetta al pomodoro MORE MUSTHAVES My kitchen`s Healthiest Ingredients

Cuisine SECRETS Cosimo: Do you have many secrets that make your cuisine so excellent? No secrets. I prepare all my recipes, my dishes under the daylight and if somebody needs any advice or simply wants to learn how to cook certain dishes, I am open and ready to help and even teach them step by step how to do it.

Olive Oil fights photoaging, offers vitamin E and is more powerful than Green Tea

Cosimo: For you, is it fundamental the way a dish is presented? Yes, it is. The way a dish is presented for me is fundamental. Also because, we eat with our eyes first and then we use the rest of our senses to finish the dish. So yes, decorating the plate is very important to me. Cosimo: What are your favorite plate decorations? Do you add more ingredients to the main recipe, or you make sure to arrange the food the best way you can only with what you have cooked and no add-ons? Well for example, with the pasta dishes I like to stay on the simple side, adding only engraved vegetables that I prepared myself in advance. For the risotto dishes, I try to elaborate more, like preparing the cocotte di parmesan that gives the plate an elegant or joyful style. It depends what you want to transmit with your decorations. Being a chef is being an artist. The plate is our canvas and we create, decorate and express ourselves through our dishes. Cosimo: Could you tell us quickly how to make the cocotte di parmesan? Parmesan baskets/ boats In a non-stick pan, add some parmesan, enough for a full circle, on medium heat. Let it melt a little and with the help of two pliers, turn it on the other side and wait another 2 or 3 minutes. Once it is ready, again, with the help of the pliers put it on top of a bowl, turn it upside down and let it cool. You can use it for your risotto dishes, or even some pasta dishes.

Tomatoes are best for indigestible fiber and great skin

This is my all-time favorite. Easy, fresh and delicious. Let’s get started. Ingredients: 8 Roma tomatoes diced 5/6 basil leaves 3 garlic cloves (minced) 1 pinch of dried oregano 1 dash of crushed pepper 1 pinch of salt 2/3 tbs olive oil 1 French or Italian bread Onion - optional Mozzarella - optional Directions: First thing, preheat the broiler. In a mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, basil, garlic, oregano, red pepper, salt, pepper and olive oil. I like to add also a little bit of diced onion. It gives more flavor. Let is marinate in the refrigerator for 10-20 min. Slice the bread. On a baking sheet, arrange the slices in a single layer and sprinkle them with a little bit of olive oil. Brown both sides of the bread slightly in the oven. Remove the pieces from the oven. Spread the tomato mixture on the pieces of bread. I like the fresh taste of tomatoes, but if you want more ingredients on your bruschetta, add the tomato salsa and mozzarella slices on top of the toasted bread and broil for a few minutes. It’s a wonderful appetizer!

Paparotta of Puglia

Garlic prevents inflammation, contains vitamin C and protects against wrinkles and cancer

Multigrain bread lowers your risk of heart-disease, fights breast cancer and gallstones, and improves digestion and detoxifies

This dish is originally from Salento, a region of Puglia and it also called “poor man’s dish” . Years ago, it was the farmer’s breakfast and a way for the housewives to use the stale bread. Nowadays “PAPAROTTA” is a much requested dish in the restaurants from Salento and a perfect meal for the vegans out there. Ingredients: 1 onion 2 garlic cloves Extra virgin olive oil Stale bread Cooked beans or peas ( let’s say left over beans or peas you cooked a day before) Boiled turnip greens We start by cutting the stale bread , give it a rough cut. If it’s too hard try breaking it with the help of a meat tenderizer. Soak the bread in water for a few minutes.

Meanwhile, cut the onion and the garlic. In a large pan, add the oil and heat it up. Add the bread, (from which you squizeed very well the water), the onion and garlic and let them cook stirring from time to time. Cook for 5- 8 minutes. When you see the bread turning golden brown, add the beans or the peas and the cooked turnip greens and stir. Cook for another 10 minutes. Serve warm with a sprinkle of olive oil and fresh parsley. If you want to make it more fancy, transform the dish by serving it in a cocotte di parmesan.

You can add cherry syrup and mint leaves on your vegan ice-cream.

Vegan strawberry and banana ice cream 1 cup frozen strawberries 3 ripe frozen bananas 2 tablespoons of almond/soy/ rice milk Blend the strawberries and the milk together until you obtain a smooth cream. Add the bananas and blend again until all is creamy and fluffy. Make sure your bananas are well ripe and frozen for at least 24 hours. Easy as 1, 2, 3! Serve right away. Store the ice cream in the freezer.

Eleanor

Considering the fact that you`re a very successful 17 years old artist, when did you start taking photos and what inspired Do you plan your photo-shoots or are you shooting spontaneously? you to become a photographer? I first used my Mum’s camera to capture images of wildlife in my garden. I was making a nature notebook for a competition. I unfortunately lost the competition, but I enjoyed taking photos so much that I decided to continue and begun taking images of everything that interested me.

When and what would you say was your first big achievement?

Becoming exhibited with the United Nations at the age of 13.

What model was the first camera that you owned? Any memorable snapshots taken with that camera? I first used a Kodak Easyshare. My favourite photo when I first started is an image of two pregnant spiders pestering four grasshoppers.

You have won numerous National photography contests. How do you determine choosing the winning photo?

A good competition is normally juried and the judges often judge images 50% Technical skill and 50% originality/adhesion to theme given. Often I lose the competitions in which I spend months thinking about my entries and planning them. I never get my hopes up too high. I just try.

I used to plan shoots but now I strictly stick to shooting spontaneously.

Are there any other causes that you`d be interested in helping? Which and why?

I’d like to take a stand on more social justice and equality issues. There is much I feel passionate about, but I’m developing my world view and gaining intellect with every day. When I finally speak, I want to give a lasting effect. I want to do more to make people think. I may even turn to writing as I have been doing recently.

Aside from photography, is there anything else that you do or would like to do as an artist?

Writing. I’ve been approached to join a collective of directors, poetry, mixed media and anything other, that isn’t lens based to explore my creative options.

Being where you are now in your artistic career, what goals do you have for the future? Getting an agent, solo exhibitions, residencies, grants and collaborating with bigger and better people than myself. I have quite a few idols and great people that I keep in mind to focus me when even I feel down.

“Such a rare, inspirational artist and it`s a true honor to have Eleanor in my magazine.” (Editor-in-Chief)

Do you Photoshop/ retouch or edit your images in any way or do you publish them straight out of the camera? Minimum editing for the most part. I knew if I invested in a higher priced camera, I would probably just publish them straight out of the camera.

You have worked on book covers with Fern House Publishing, Nine Arches Press, Finishing Line Press and Packt Publishing amongst many others. Any tips for our readers on how to get published on the cover of a book?

You can become published on a book cover tomorrow for free, but to get paid and get repeat work, you need to build a portfolio of samples and make sure to target the right people. Nine Arches press was full of books with covers that looked identical to my style already. That makes it very flexible indeed.

In order to become such a successful photographer, does one need a manager or is it enough to just rely on talent?

A manager makes things a lot easier, but even I don’t have one. They are few and far between so you need to get used to getting knee deep in work and striding through it. Have your time management sorted.

Some of your amazing work has also been sold for charities like Great Ormond Street, Lovedrop and The Red Cross. Is there a reason for choosing these particular companies? How does it feel to know that you’ve made a difference in the world and helped so many causes? I want to help a lot more causes. I really feel that I need to put my art to better use, really. With Lovedrop, it was very personal. I’d really want to work with smaller charities that work on projects that are close to our reality.

COMING UP

In the next issue we would like to discuss the modeling world and its ups and downs. We`re looking for different contributing models to tell us which are the “20 MISTAKES THAT MODELS SHOULD NOT MAKE” and which are the“MODELING WORLD`S DARKEST SECRETS”! We`d also like to get a few experienced models` tips for photographers from a model`s point of view. More contributing writers will be featured in the “All about Modeling” section!

ove in its many forms is the key initiator of social relationships and, thanks to its psychological importance is one of the most shared themes in the creative arts and the artistic world. Love can be assumed as a purpose of union and happiness. “When there is a union of love, it is accurate to affirm that the beloved lives in the lover and the lover lives in the beloved. Love causes such similarity and transformation in the lovers that one can say that each one is the other and both of them are one.” (St. John of the Cross –Spiritual Songs 12:7 )

ALL ABOUT MODELING SPRING ISSUE 2014 The spring issue will also feature the article titles below: What every model should do- discussing the best behavior, and offering advice and tips to the beginning models. Fun fearless female models (and their lifestyle). The writer can interview a successful model and give us an inside of their daily routine. Model guys talk love. The writer needs to figure out a way to discuss the love-life of a model and what they`re looking for in a female/ male. What`s your stress personality?- This will be a fun test that the writers can come up with, considering the lifestyle of a model. The test can focus on any artist type. What kind of model are you? – This is another fun quiz for the models. Step out of the box and create something fun. You should also be able to explain what kind of model they are, based on the chosen answers. 10 questions about the modeling world? In this article, the writer should ask different people (not associated with the modeling industry), which is their number one question about the modeling world. The writer has to provide us with the name of the interviewed person and 10 total questions. They also have to briefly write the answers for the 10 questions. Fascinating new facts- We`re interested in seeing new, cool facts about anything artistic. Behind the scenes -spread- We`re looking for teams that can contribute with behind the scenes images and info.

Dear photographers, THE THEME FOR THE SPRING ISSUE 2014 IS “LOVE”. Send us images that you think signify “LOVE” the best! The editorials can express a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection to pleasure. They can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment, to a virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection. You can also describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans, one’s self or animals. We identify many forms of love: kinship, friendship, romantic desire, and self-emptying or divine love.

“

Things are not what they appear. The whales are not smiling; they die young, and shouldn’t be performing circus stunts for food. Their brains are 4 times larger than ours and their families are their homes. It is completely unnatural for them to be living at tourist destinations in Orlando, San Diego, and San Antonio. This has even led to two animals, Kanduke & Taku, being bitten by mosquitoes and dying in captivity. “Duke” died in the summer of 1990 by St. Louis Virus encephalitis, and Taku in 2007 by West Nile Virus. This does not happen in nature. The whales need your help. A better way to do that is to take science courses in college. Major in zoology, oceanography, marine biology, and help these animals in nature. You’re not dealing with the real thing when they are in captivity. Another way, you can follow in Gabriela’s footsteps and make a documentary film, or follow in Dr. Naomi Rose’s footsteps and write your PhD dissertation on them.“ Jeffrey Ventre

people around the globe. By most accounts, the film seems likely to be nominated for an Academy Award. This will drive DVD sales and the word will continue to spread. I’ve been told that there will be new DVD extras that will shed more light on the situation.

opening in the morning. I probably wouldn’t have done that if I had known the details of how he killed Keltie Byrne. I feel sorry for him as he gets beat up and has broken all of the teeth on his lower jaw. Many have been drilled out by the vets. We used to have to flush his teeth out 2-3 times each day using a WaterPik because his teeth had holes in them and fish would get plugged. What were the reasons for your big role in this Many of the SeaWorld animals have holes in their teeth. documentary? I’m one of a small group of ex trainers that spoke out against captivity after Dawn was killed. The industry, in general, is a very secretive one, and it blackballs people that speak out. Because I am now an MD (medical doctor), I felt somewhat insulated. A few of the national TV interviews were spotted by Outside Magazine writer Tim Zimmermann and he reached out to me. It was his article “Killer in the Pool” that inspired Blackfish director Gabriela Cowperthaite and formed a template for her film. When it came time, she reached out to me (and the other former trainers) directly. For those who haven`t heard of this mesmerizingly emotional documentary, can you tell us what it is about? Blackfish is a film about killer whales (Orcinus orca) that shines a light on SeaWorld’s history of capturing and displaying them for human entertainment. Via collections in the 1970’s, the company decimated the wild orcas in Washington State, and that group is still “endangered” today. The film zeroes in on the story of Tilikum, who was purchased in 1992 after killing a trainer in Canada. No wild orcas have harmed a human and the movie shows how captivity leads to animal on animal aggression and has resulted in four human deaths, and lots of injuries. To maintain the “happy Shamu” image, the injured or killed trainers are usually blamed for their own death. It’s always “trainer error.” What is the mainstay of the documentary Blackfish and how is it different from The Cove documentary? The film is based upon the known history of the captivity industry. The Cove focuses on the collection and slaughter of small whales and dolphins. After being herded into The Cove, the best looking animals are hand-picked by trainers and sent to marine parks around the world. Blackfish focuses on the display side of the industry. When I worked at SeaWorld of Florida, five of the false killer whales there were collected at The Cove. They even had Japanese (food) names, Teri, Yaki, Suki, Zori, and Hana, which is kind of sick. Every person feels the need to make a difference in the world after watching Blackfish, and it is impossible to not have strong emotions and a deeper understanding of killer whales. Blackfish is the result of a lot of passion, hard work, collaboration, love and genius. What was it like to be a part of such an amazing documentary? It’s an honor to be part of a successful feature film and to work with the former trainers and scientists that are speaking out. Our collaborative work continues with scientific papers, an upcoming chapter in a text book, media appearances, and at our website, “Voice of the Orcas.” In short, there’s a lot of work to be done. The movie is a vehicle for disseminating info to millions of

If you could change just one thing about the big aquatic parks, what would that be? I would end the circus style shows and convert Shamu Stadium into a rehabilitation and release facility. SeaWorld could use the JumboTron screen to show videos that talk about marine life while people could still come in and watch the handlers and vets care for a recovering animal. They could even put other mammals in the pool, such as manatees. How did it feel to be swimming with such amazing creatures? Can you describe the first feeling that you had when being on top of a killer whale? It’s an incredible adrenaline rush to do high-energy water-work maneuvers with a killer whale. Unfortunately the whales would rather be in the ocean than performing for fish. So I try not to glamorize it. It sends the wrong message to kids. How do killer whales live in the wild? And what is the number one reason you believe they should not be held in captivity? The resident orcas in Washington, Canadian & Alaskan waters live in extended nuclear families. They swim about 100 miles a day, and are all natural athletes. In captivity they die young, break their teeth on the concrete & steel enclosures, and experience a lot of in-fighting. Several of the whales are even inbred in captivity. On September 18, 2006, Nalani was born. Her father is also her brother. This doesn’t happen in the wild. Also, they turn young females into baby factories. In the wild, females don’t typically have babies until around age fourteen. In captivity, they are impregnated as early as age five using artificial insemination methods. It`s unjust and morally wrong to keep these highly intelligent and free-ranging mammals in such small spaces for profit.

e all know that killer whales have never been responsible for any human deaths while in the wild. Why do you think that the big aquatic parks had numerous deaths and injuries?

Imagine living in the bathroom of a house your entire life; getting beat up, getting limited exercise, and being incredibly bored in a sterile environment. Many folks postulate that captivity itself is the root cause of aggressive behavior. I’ve been in row boats, sail boats, & motor boats many, many times with killer whales next to me or under the boat. They essentially ignore humans in nature. They definitely know you are there, but we are pretty insignificant to them in nature. A friend, renowned orca scientist, Dr. Ingrid Visser, swims with “her” New Zealand orca regularly. How do killer whales get to an aquatic park? What is the process behind this long travel? Killer whales that are at SeaWorld were either collected by SeaWorld, purchased by SeaWorld, or were born at SeaWorld. When they are moved around, which happens frequently, they are sequestered into a small holding pool, placed into a stretcher, hauled up by a crane, placed into a small box (similar to a coffin with water in it) and then shipped by plane or truck, depending on where they are going. Transports are known to be very stressful for cetaceans and many cetaceans have been lost along the way. Most are medicated with benzodiazepines such as Valium. You used to work for a famous American aquatic park as a trainer and have a huge role in the documentary. Why do you think that your previous employer called Blackfish “inaccurate” and “misleading”? They ignored the film for over six months after it premiered at Sundance. Only after it started getting rave reviews from film festivals did they decide to pay attention. So they sent a letter to 50 movie critics calling the film dishonest, but if you read the points they brought up, they didn’t really address the issues or the facts in the film. They were corporate talking points. It was a big mistake by SeaWorld. That push-back, by them, led to more exposure. It became a hot topic in the media.

Have you ever met Tilikum, the whale connected to three human fatalities? If yes, what was your experience with him? Yes, I worked directly with Tilikum as a Senior trainer in the mid-1990’s. He was great to work with. One time, I even stepped on his back while

S HAH RIAZ

“I believe a skirt is what truly distinguishes a woman’s look, and a tie polishes a man’s appearance.” Shah Riaz creates a classic and elegant fabric collection made to define a woman’s feminine nature, and compliment a man’s image. Shah’s unparalleled vision originates from the influence of his ten siblings, seven of whom were women. During his youth, he was surrounded by women’s fashion, and it formed his intuitive understanding of garment design. Shah’s innovative fashion sense is expressed through two gender-specific wardrobe staples: skirts and ties. Pencil skirts accentuate the mid contours of the female figure; clean, slender, and classy like the gestures of a glamorous woman – simple yet elegant. Skirts are made for women who desire a hint of elegance in their everyday attire. Shah revives the ladylike silhouette with versatile fabrics that accommodate every occasion: business engagements, office hours, and evening cocktails. It is the perfect attire for a sophisticated woman. Ties are a sleek, modern accessory for every man’s wardrobe. Fine quality and refined designs pair well with custom suits or casual wear, and showcase one’s individual taste. Fabric prints are stylish and vintage-inspired. Shah Riaz created the timeless pieces for men and women. Experience its eloquence. Made in Chicago. Fine quality. Luxurious.

here are you from? How would you define your city’s fashion?

Shah`s Skirts and Ties www.shahriaz.com

I was raised in Chicago and have lived here since I was 2 years old. I would define Chicago’s style as very comfortable and classic. It is not as spontaneous as New York or Los Angeles, but it has the essence of tradition. Give us an idea of your clothing designs. I design skirts and ties; one garment for each gender. They are both classic pieces that compliment a man’s look and flatter a women’s physique. Timeless pieces that everyone should own. When did you realize you wanted to become a fashion designer? I wanted to become a designer when I was 17 years old. After reading an article about a graffiti artist who was creating clothing pieces that were removable and versatile, it inspired me to create something in hand instead of drawing animation and figures like I had since I was 4 years old. Also, having seven sisters in my household growing up and seeing the quality of garments that interest them made me want to create a high quality product for my brand. When and what was the first article of clothing you ever designed? In 2005, I designed a wrap around skirt. It was size adjustable and it was a forest green with black embroidery. It was horrific, but well made. How long does it usually take you to construct a piece? It depends on which garment. The ties take 2-4 weeks and the skirts take 4-6 weeks. It all depends on the materials and working with the pattern to create the right look. Where can we buy your ties and skirts? Currently Hazel Boutique in Lincoln Square in Chicago carries the Fall Collection of skirts and ties. We’re also excited about a new high end artisanal store, ”I Love Chicago” opening in the International Terminal of O’Hare International Airport which will carry both garments as well. The collection will also be available on www.shahriaz.com soon. What do you believe makes a quality article of clothing? Craftsmanship with quality fabrics, zippers, buttons, and linings make a great garment for any gender. I believe in making garments locally to benefit the economy and to provide quality control. What’s your favorite part about conceptualizing a design? My favorite part is finding the right fabric. When I have the right fabric, I feel like I can make any garment. Where do you get your inspiration from? I get my inspiration from history. Paintings, photography, and unique individuals that I meet whether in a work environment or in public. What are some of your fashion goals? My goal in the next 5 years is to have high end boutiques in various cities and overseas carrying my skirts and ties. I also want to have my collections in high end department stores. Continuing to do fashion shows and collaborating with other artists and designers from around the world is something I would continue to do as well. What advice do you have for aspiring fashion designers? Save your money, invest your time, create something that you are passionate about and the rest will follow.

When did you discover that you wanted to pursue a career in the beauty industry? My story starts way back. I grew up in a salon where my mother and sister were (and still are) stylists. I tried to avoid becoming a stylist because I wanted to prove I could do something different, so I studied engineering; but I soon realized that my future was in the beauty industry! I remember living in Norway and waking up one morning and saying to myself, “I’m gonna be a stylist.” And that’s how it started. It was 1998. You’ve already worked with an impressive number of people. Is there anyone in the entertainment industry that you would like to work with? The list would be endless.

Our readers most asked questions about hair!

By creating texture and volume at the problem areas is the key. Use small rollers or a small curling iron to create curls at the balding front hair line and the top. Sweep the hair at the sides and back into a French twist or a loosely curled chignon. Tease the hair on the top to make it look fuller, soften the curls and create a flattering look. What wedding hairstyle would work best on a heavy-set woman with a round face? When it comes to a heavy set woman; we not only need to keep the proportion of the facial features in mind, but the proportions of the whole body as well. The main thing we need to keep in mind when working on a heavy set woman with a round face is that you want to add height and keep the sides low in volume and close to the face. This will help to elongate the face and give it a slimmer appearance. What hairstyle do you think will never go out of style? A bob will always be in style. Either short or shoulder length, a bob will always be elegant and stylish.

There are a few factors I take under consideration when I have to choose the perfect hair color for a client. Their complexion, their eye color, and their profession and lifestyle. Can you blow dry African textured hair straight? If not, what is the result if blow dried? African textured hair can not be blow dried straight. Blow drying is done to prep the hair for another process, such as flat ironing or hot combing. By blow drying African textured hair, the end result will be a fluffy look. How can someone get waves in their curly African hair and how? The easiest way to create waves in African hair is to use hot tools (flat iron and curling iron). First, you blow dry the hair while still wet,using the elasticity in it. Then by using the flat iron, you smooth it out. Last, you put waves or curls in it with the curling iron. I personally try to avoid the curling iron and I create the waves/curls by using only the flat iron and twist the hair in it. Less time and of course less heat on the hair by using only one hot tool.. Can you describe to us how to do an up-do style for a woman with a balding front hair line?

The World is OURS!

Let`s make a difference!

I had the rare honor of doing an interview with a very successful male model turned actor. Oris has multiple years of experience in front and behind the camera. He’s highly acclaimed for being the most photographed and publicized, international fashion, runway and print model of his time era. You can see Oris in the all new fourth season of the US and UK Hit Action Drama series «Strike Back», where he plays Brigadier General Lewis of the United States Air Force. Oris is also now on a world tour with the hit play «The Diary Of Black Men» and he is currently in talks with a major fashion house to collaborate with his new clothing and accessories line for summer release. Oris, how did you get into modeling?

I believe the reason I got into modeling was faith. It was a path I never intended on walking down at all, but looking back today I am very grateful I did. Not only has it opened doors beyond my wildest dreams, but modeling really helped shape the person and artist I am today. It has set the tone to my mission in life in a way I never expected. I was living in Miami Beach in 1993 after walking away from New York, where I had been living for almost 10 years. It was in New York where I was trying to find my place in the music industry and my place in life as a young man. It was there where I had had it with life. 1993 was a strange year. I almost died from a robbery and I was shot 7 times defending a friend of mine who at the

Oris Erhuero

time was a very famous Rap artist. From being robbed and almost killed, I fell into a coma and was in and out of surgery quite a bit. The moment I got better and out of critical condition, I decided that this was it; I wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the beautiful Big Apple. And this is coming from a man who left London, England at the age of 16 to pursue his dream in the land of the free- LOL ..During my young years in London, I felt like Europe had nothing to offer me as an artist and an actor studying drama and films. I felt like a bird in a cage that wanted out. I just wanted to fly. So moving to New York was the ideal place for me at that time. Little did I know that life would send me down the path to the world I am in today? While in Miami, I decided to get a job waiting tables, I honestly had given up on my dreams and was just happy to be alive, period. During that time, one of the biggest hurricanes in history had rocked America’s coast called Hurricane Andrew, it had hit the state of Florida causing billions of dollars in damages. I left New York on a bus and came to Florida after it had been ripped apart and was being reconstructed. It was crazy, but in time Miami was back on its feet and I can gladly say that I was part of a community of people from all over the world wanting to start a new life and help rebuild the little and best of Miami beach. Modeling agencies, night clubs, cafes, restaurants, films, TV shows and commercial shoots started to come in from all over the world. It was during that same time when the late Gianni Versace moved to Miami from Milan and was constructing and building his villa and flag ship store. Photographers, models, actors, and artists all started to flock in from nowhere. It was like an electrifying wave of creative and beautiful people with incredible ideas coming into Miami. One evening, I served drinks to a man named Azabra and a very beautiful model. This was when my life took a turn forever. He happened to be a very young insightful and vibrant photographer on the rise from Toronto. He invited me to sit with them and they questioned me about why I was working as a waiter in Miami. They said that I should be in Europe modeling and making waves as an actor to be reckoned with. It was weird because he saw my future right away and for a second I thought this guy was nuts. But after the next few weeks, he was doing test shoots of me daily and sending them to agents. The rest, as we know, is history.

Tuxedo by Dolce & Gabbana

was before the air brush craze and the only tricks came from photographers in the dark room pulling these 35 mil. He photographed me and a couple of bodybuilders in a live action, superhero comic book kind of story, like the movie, «300». It was for a book he was putting together to be published and it was only when I saw the movie «300» , years later that I said to myself, «I knew a photographer who was doing that with a 35 mil camera in the 90’s.» Wow, how ahead of his time he was. And to mention, he is one of the finest photographers shooting major fashion campaigns for the top-end designers in the world. What’s your fashion mantra? My fashion mantra has always been: If it makes you happy, wear it and wear it well, like you were born in it.

MODELING CAREER Tell us a little bit about the successful modeling times. What is rewarding about modeling? Well one of my many memorable successful modeling moments was joining Boss Models in London the moment I arrived back to Europe from Miami. It was the first super male model agency in the world. They were one of the only male model agencies that knew how to market male models and made us business men. Half of them I must say are still working today, way into their 50’s! It’s crazy. After seeing my book and potential, they immediately booked me for a 3 to 6 month contract for modeling and TV commercials in Capetown, South Africa. It was an incredible experience. It was during the time when Nelson Mandela became the president. Meeting him personally was the icing on the cake and definitely a far cry for someone who almost dead a year earlier. It couldn’t have been more of an inspiring and rewarding time in my life. My bookings took me as far as South America, Asia, Russia and around the world numerous times shooting with the finest and most renowned photographers, stylists and commercial directors in the world. Out of all of the photos that you`ve taken throughout your modeling career, which is your favorite photographer and why? I have to say out of all the photos that I have taken throughout my modeling career; my favorite photographer has to be NICK KNIGHT. It

Who is your favorite designer of all times and why? I have to say, I have a lot of favorite designers, but my most favorite has to be the late GianFranco Ferre. Not only because I worked for him many seasons; for the men`s show in Milan, but he wasn’t just a designer; he was one hell of an architect. The way he cuts his clothes made people who wore them the centerpiece of the room. Even when you saw an actress on the red carpet at the Oscars, you knew his style. He also ran the house of Dior in Paris for a while and did a damn good job at it. He was such an amazing soul and he loved working with models of all colors and walks of life. He wasn’t afraid, like some designers are today, to use people of color to show his collections. Even during the time where designers were playing to the public or just wanting to be safe and kept the catwalk a certain style to impress buyers, he didn’t budge or give in. Gian just did it his way. That’s what life should be about, not everyone following and copying each other.

Where do you generally shop? Well, I like to shop in boutiques and places where one would least expect to find certain things. What are your hobbies? I like traveling and being creative. Photography has also become one of my hobbies over the years. In 2007, Jamati Online named you one of the top 10 sexiest African men. How do you keep your body in such a great shape? Well, I do a lot of yoga and cardio and weights. What`s your favorite movie? My favorite movie of all time has to be Scarface. We learned that you also recently begun to explore film production and screen writing. Is that the direction that you`re trying to go towards in the future? Yes, film production and screen writing is something I am deeply into at the moment. There are so many great stories and scripts coming my way and I am still spending my days finding the right story that will move people. That’s very important to me, so I am not rushing it.

ACTING CAREER

We know that you transitioned into television and film, with roles in The Adventures of Sinbad, The Bill, Highlander: Endgame, Black Mask 2, Sometimes in April, and Chicago Pulaski Jones. What feeling did you have when you first saw yourself on film, instead of a photograph? The kind of feeling I had when I first saw myself on film instead of in a photograph, was very moving for me because it`s about what`s going on deep inside of you. What people were seeing and the reactions of my friends, family and people who knew me. How excited and moved they were, and still are, definitely keeps me wanting to put a smile on their faces by doing films. But I have to be honest; I really find it hard watching myself on film or TV. I tend to just read the script now, go on camera, shoot and move on and let my family and friends tell me what they thought and how they felt. You look very comfortable in all your movies. What`s the secret behind embracing the characters so well? For me, there is no secret behind what I do to embrace my characters. I just give it everything I got, as I am a very passionate individual who loves life and making people happy. The world is going through quite a lot on a daily bases, as we know. It’s important

I pay attention to society and what`s going on in our world and try to reach out and touch them through my passion as an actor. As we know, people tend to gravitate to magazines, books, music, TV, films and play at a time of stress and to escape for a bit. I feel it`s very important that I don’t cheat them by being sincere to the best of my ability in every role and opportunity that comes my way. It`s important that I tell the truth with each character and not look for an easy way out. I’d rather not do it if it was any other way. Who are your favorite actor and actress of all times and why? Well my favorite actor of all time has to be Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. They’ve always been consistent over the years and they get better with age. I love the realism they bring to their work. Of course, there are many actors that I like, but these two never let me down. For the actress, I love Judy Dench, Helen Mirren, Kate Blanchett and, of course, Angelina Jolie. Angelina’s journey and what she does for many women from 3rd world countries makes me feel that I have a lot more to do regarding my mission in life.

oris Erhuero - An inspirational artist

What movie that you played in are you most proud of? I have to say that one of the movies I am most proud of and grateful for in my life to have starred in, was «Sometimes In April». It was the story about Genocide in Rwanda in 1994. It’s strange, because that year, I was in South Africa modeling and I remember watching the tragic events unfold on the news every day. I was so sad and moved, that to see myself many years later as an actor playing and telling the story on the big screen was something out of this world. I couldn’t believe I would be filming in Rwanda and spending time in that part of the world where all those tragic events happened. Visiting the actual places and revisiting the horrific events was moving. Especially those precious moments when I spent time with witnesses, people and children who actually saw these things happen on a daily basis. I just never imagined that I would be in such an epic part of history, that many generations would use to edu-

cate themselves so we would never have to repeat such atrocity again. I’m also looking forward to telling many great, epic, historical stories of humanity; it`s the one movie that everyone I meet worldwide would have a conversation with me about. The look in their eyes when we talk about this tragic event. and how our lives were in that moment, is always amazing. It really makes people stop and embrace each other as human beings because deep down, we are really such precious beings. Anything else that you`d like to tell us about you? I am also looking forward to launching my clothing and accessory line in the coming year and I’ll be surprising everyone with it. I have spent so long in the fashion world that I just can’t ignore and suppress it any longer, because it’s something that’s been in my heart. It`s been in the making for the past 10 years and it`s time to unleash it and get it out.

ERIN`s TOP DO`s and DONT`s for models Erin Schweinsberg`s

Top DO’s and DONT’s for models and make-up!

No. 1 DO- Be on time! It can take the better part of an hour to create a desired make-up look, so a punctual model is always appreciated! No.2 DON’T sit on the phone or constantly eat during a make-up application! It can become hard for the make-up artist if a model is constantly moving, especially if we’re trying to apply liquid eyeliner or stick on lashes. If you can wait to make the phone call or eat the sandwich before the shoot then please do!

Photographer: www.HansSchenkel.com Retouch by: Jessica Joy Thompson MUA: Erin Schweinsberg Hair: Chyla Camacho Model: Janay Flowers Gold Flakes Concept/Design: Erin Schweinsberg and Chyla Camacho

No.3 DO- Come with a clean face! I’ve had models arrive to shoots with a full face of make-up. This can become time consuming as everything has to be removed before we can start the application for the first look. A clean, moisturized face is always appreciated by any make-up artist. No. 4 DONT arrive to a shoot with an attitude! First impressions last, and this industry can be small. Some of the most successful models today are also the most humble. No. 5 DO wear the make-up like it`s your new skin! You can always tell when a model doesn’t like to step outside her comfort zone, but the most creative and innovative looks are often the ones that lead to the best photographs!

The amazing work of Danny Quirk

From the amazing Danny Quirk artwork

Trend Privé Magazine 122

DANNY QUIRK

«A brilliant genius who can create breathtaking art.» (Editor-in-Chief, Catalina Magee)

I’m an artist, recent graduate, specializing in photo realistic watercolors, painting what the camera can’t capture. My work is perceivably on the darker side, but the actually is, it’s about exploration. My anatomical works combine classic poses, in dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, with a very contemporary twist… illustrating what’s underneath the skin, and the portrayed figure dissects a region of their body to show the structures that lay beneath. Danny Quirk

I stumbled upon Danny Quirk’s artwork on Facebook from shares by my husband and a friend. I was immediately impressed and wanted to see more. After I clicked onto his page, I couldn’t stop viewing the beautifully dark and authentic drawings of what is under our skins. I have never seen anything like it before and I was blown away. When Trend Prive decided to do an «All Artists» issue, the first person that came to my mind was Danny Quirk. When he agreed to be featured in Trend Prive, I was very excited for the readers to see and learn about his anatomical art. I believe that Danny Quirk is an ingenious artist. Taking something truly scientific like the human anatomy and combining it with artistic skills to create

what anatomical art is NOT. Anatomical art is not the manifestation of a deranged individual’s mind. haha. When people see my work, they often allude it to being sick, or demented, and something only a ‘serial killer’ would put on their walls. Anatomic art is the cross pollinated fruit of art, science, and education. It brings to light what is hidden under the skin, opens eyes, and minds, showing viewers how we’re composed, and what we look like on a deeper level. When did you start painting? I’ve been doing watercolors for about 16 yrs, and I’m currently 25! haha. I made my first watercolor in 4th grade, and have been at it ever since. I started doing body paintings almost one year ago on Halloween last year, and have severely been at them ever since. haha. Describe your first anatomical art project? There are two that I’ll allude in here. The ‘first’ being the piece entitled ‘Skin Bra’. This was the first ‘self-dissection I made, and it was made after I

got a threat of disappointment from my teacher Tim O’Brien. I’d been having a pretty crappy semester (issues with the girlfriend / roommate) and it was really taking its effect on my art. The subject matter I was making, was not up to my standards, and Tim recognized that. He felt although the work was technically sound, the concepts sucked. He alluded it to being like the drummer for Weird Al. haha. Technically, the paintings were spot on, conceptually; there was nothing original / exciting about them. My homework that week was to come up with a piece new and original to redeem me from all the lacking pieces made before. The next week, I put this on the wall. Everyone was in love with the rawness, and originality, and needless to say, his requests were fulfilled. haha. I did up 3 others of this ‘self-dissection’ theme before the semester ended, and continued with it until present day, the newest piece being ‘Veronica’. As you can see- the quality of work has improved miles since ‘Skin Bra’. The second ‘first’ was the first body painting, made up on Halloween, almost one year ago. I painted it up on my girlfriend, and was in my SUPER broke days, and didn’t have the $10 to buy face paint. So I got a little creative, playing around with some liquid latex / acrylics / sharpies, aka, things I had laying around the apartment. I thought it looked cool, she thought it looked cool as well, and feeling accomplished, I decided to post a picture to my FB page. Overnight, the picture went viral, to the point of getting out of hand. haha. This piece was very definitely the fetus of something big artistically speaking. A few months passed, and the work went viral internationally. It’s been a pretty surreal experience, and it’s been really crazy watching the work blow up! Your work is like nothing else I have ever seen; when you paint the human body, it is so accurate. Do you have a medical background? I don’t have a medical background. I wanted to attend med schools for medical illustration,

anatomical art is very innovative. His work will definitely leave an impression and one that is hard to forget.

By Chyla Camacho For some of readers that may not know, can you tell us a little bit about what anatomical art is? First off, to clear the waters, I will start with saying

«...I decided to post a picture to my FB page. Overnight, the picture went viral, to the point of getting out of hand...»

own in some really big journals, and a few months later when Halloween approached, I did my first ‘anatomical body painting’ and from there, the work just EXPLODED! I know damn well if I’d got into a program, I never would have done a body painting, so

I’m looking at the rejection as a crucial ingredient in making me as an artist. Because I lacked a program, many of my body paintings are a way I teach myself the anatomy, and really burn origins / insertions into my head.

The amazing work of Danny Quirk

but that didn’t work out. haha. The schools I applied to felt I was lacking in Bio courses compared to the other applicants, and as a result, the only letters I received in the mail were rejection letters. At the time, I was really upset, but shortly after I started getting work published on my

While I never attended a formal ‘program’, I did barter some work with a friend of mine- I made up some 15+ anatomical pieces for her in return for taking a Doctorate’s Level Gross Anatomy class, which gave me valuable cadaver experience, and TONS of lecture material to reference back to. Any artists that you look up to? Oddly enough, I derive more inspiration from musicians than visual artists. Although I appreciate many visual artists, musical artists ‘inspire’ me to get more of a message out there. An all-time favorite (although, now he’s been on a rapid decline), is Marilyn Manson. I always had an appreciation for those who questioned what we were told / how to do things. It’s safe to say the way y work is being seen / recognized has been in a very atypical route. By being different and doing things that differed from the ‘norm’ , more people were able to see it, and appreciate it. While creating your art, what are your tools of choice? My two main venues are watercolor, and latex. Watercolor is used predominantly in paintings on a 2d surface. All my ‘self-dissection’ pieces and military pieces are watercolors. The body paintings are done up with latex, acrylic paints, and sharpie markers. Describe your process in creating a 3D surface anatomy illustration? I’d rather not get into too much detail with this, just because apparently not many do this, and don’t want to give away too many secrets. haha. But the ‘ingredients’ used is liquid latex, acrylic paint, and sharpie markers . . . Since Trend Prive Magazine is an All ARTISTS and FASHION magazine, can you tell us about your involvement during Fashion Week?

Basically, it was a flattering opportunity. I got a call from Body Worlds (upon which I definitely squealed like a gitty school girl in excitement. haha). The call informed me Body Worlds hand-picked me to paint up some 3 models of anatomical theme to model some jewelry / sunglasses / purses in Times Square to celebrate Body World’s new location in Times Square, and partake in the festivities of Fashion Week. Can you tell us what inspired your military themed project? I started doing the pieces because for the longest time I wanted to enlist. I come from a long line of military service, and I felt it was my duty to serve. When the wars broke out, I started interviewing troops, (Marines predominantly) and gathered stories of their experiences overseas. All across the board, everyone just seemed miserable, and questioned their reasoning for being over there. Very quickly, I realized the government / media is one hell of an artist as well, propaganda being their media of choice, both were able to paint an image of the soldier, and paint an image of why we should be over there. Personally, I do not in any way, shape, or form support these wars, and I was slightly disgusted in myself for wanting to enlist after seeing their ‘rendition’ of war, vs. those who were actually there, and fighting in the action. I started the series ‘Faces of War’ based off the interviews I got from Marines, painting their stories— the stories

If someone wanted to buy your art, where can they buy it? I am currently in the process of updating my Etsy page, but they will (in about a week or two from now) be able to purchase it from my shop, dquirk1017. And people can always personally order pieces by emailing me with a print/original they have in mind at dannyquirk@gmail.com, or of course, they can send a message to the FB art page.

Oddly enough, I derive more inspiration from musicians than visual artists. ”

From the amagingly artistic world of Danny Quirk

of those doing the fighting, those doing the dying, the stories the media doesn’t want you to hear. The series itself was made to focus on the ‘emotional’ side of war, and despite a few year hiatus from military pieces, I’m planning to start up another series detailing PTSD, and the poor treatment troops get upon their return. It’ll be an even darker, emotionally harder hitting than those from before, and hopefully it’ll open some eyes, and get people talking. Here in the US, we are averaging 20+ suicides per day from returning / deployed troops, a number that clearly shows something is wrong. Trend Privé Magazine 125

EDITOR’S LETTER

TPM During this amazing journey, I have learned that as an editor, you are the main character of your magazine`s story. You have the brush and it is up to you to use the colors you think look best. Each moment that you spend building it, promoting it and making it successful, will represent your masterpiece. Each production that you create will embody you as an artist and a specific timeframe of your life. Each issue is like a different movie that you played in and they cannot all be the same. I also learned that as a Trend Prive Magazine editor, your interaction with the rest of the featured artists needs to be strong. They will support your masterpiece if they understand the goal and purpose behind it. The goal of this masterpiece is not ego driven; it is actually heart centered. It focuses on the love of art, a collection of stories, and creating a union between artists all around the world. We only have three issues out, but boy, did I gain so much experience already! The beginning of Trend Prive Magazine was a bit difficult for me as an editor. I love all the artists featured in those premiere issues, but I ran into complications due to a plethora of problematic situations. After this experience and life lesson, I was motivated to stand up, dust off and only get better. On a good note, I have received some great feedback from other editors, publishers and bloggers about the debut books. Maybe my rough experience paid off. Maybe other artists could see the passion, purpose and hard-work behind it all. Maybe I should be thankful for this experience, because it made everything else seem so much more stress-free now. The Fall Issue was a lot of fun to do. Everything seemed easier once I found the right support and team. I tried focusing on useful articles, rather than on a great photographic exposition and I tried to create a magazine that a person can read more than once. The winter issue was done in 3 fun weeks. Before starting the winter issue, I sat in front of my computer and asked myself: “What would you like to create this time?” And my answer was indeed a Trend Prive Winter Issue that would inspire creativity and comfort for any and all readers! As an editor, I have learned that your masterpiece becomes your life and you can change the course of your story by making new choices and choosing new paths. Don`t be afraid to drop the negative characters from your play, if they`re not willing to support your story. Fearlessly go with yourself and not against yourself, because once you agree to have people who are against you on your team, YOU will be the one holding yourself back. When you know that you`re creating artistically, you start living purposely. Being an editor, don`t be ashamed to create, to view yourself as an artist and to put more heart into your masterpiece, rather than being a passively living editor. For now, these are some of my thoughts and experiences. Perhaps, these would be my advices to even newer editors, hoping to inspire them in any way. I`m wishing everyone happy holidays and thank you for taking the time to read our winter issue.

God Bless,

Catalina Magee Editor-in-Chief
