New Nudes

B

eige and biscuit tones dominated on the S/S 10 catwalks most notably at Chloe and are set to filter down into our wardrobes. To avoid looking like a character from the Jilly Cooper novel “Riders” keep it simple and chic. Kate Bosworth works it perfectly in her oversized blazer and matching shorts and maxi skirt teamed with a pale grey top. High street store Zara have a great selection of pieces to choose from. If you’re afraid of looking a bit washed out go for nude toned shoes - guaranteed leg lengtheners.

old tribal prints are here to stay.

And are more versatile than they first appear. More daring fashionistas should go for striking patterned dresses, t-shirts and leggings. While, those of us who would rather give a passing nod to the trend can do so by incorporting statement jewellery and accessories into our fashion arsenal.Â

Clogs

he precarious wooden blocks are in the spotlight this season - thanks to Chanel and a certain Ms. Chung. They look great worn with cut offs a la Ashley Olsen and are available in a variety of style. Our favourites are the Miu Miu cat print ones so darn cute!

Glossy Meets...

Jamie Richards, Just JR www.justjr.com

How did you come up with the idea for Monochrome magazine and what made you want to put together your own magazine?

I created Monochrome to have a selection of special features on a range of subjects through imagery and interviews, to both inspire and explain to readers.

Your blog JustJR is a staple of the blogroll of many fashionistas. How did you come up with the concept for it. And what do you think sets it apart from other fashion blogs?

The initial concept was to have a blog with images I found cool or inspiring, but this developed into collages and special projects. I think its different to a lot of blogs because there is little text and less of an opinion.

Can you tell us a bit about your background and how you got into the fashion industry?

My family is from London but I was raised in Paris before moving back to Great Britain. I became friends with people who work in (or are connected with) the industry which has helped give me a few contacts.

What’s the process of putting together an issue of Monochrome magazine.

For the first issue I’m working on for this summer, I’ll be interviewing a few people for features then working on getting a few editorials done, so a lot of emails, phone calls and pulling clothes.

Why have you chosen to make Monochrome an online magazine?

I would like to expand to print but I think being online, its easier to send a message to the readers, and its interesting to have your concept available for anyone to discover.

What are your favourite blogs and magazines?

I love print! So there is a long list of favourite magazines, but the main ones would be: Selfservice / GQ US / Purple Fashion Magazine / Hercules / Fantastic Man / Numero / Vogue Hommes / Man About Town / Apartamento / Interview / Details / AD / The Journal / Electric Youth (EY!) / Monocle / The Last Magazine / Arena Homme + / L’Officiel Hommes / V / VMAN (and many more) ...as for blogs, I like to check around but the ones I visit most frequently include: NYT The Moment, JJJJound, COACD, Colette.fr Blogs, Selfservice Blog, Valet Mag, US GQ Blogs, Chanel News, MagCulture >>

WE WANT HER WARDROBE MAGDALENA FRACKOWIAK

odel looks aside there's no disputing that Magdalena Frackowiak knows how to work it on and off the runway. Her everyday pieces consist of comfy basics - denim cut offs, leggings and checked shirts - cleverly accessorized with stand out items like her super sharp trilby, which all add up to a look that's casual yet refuses to be ignored. And let's face it those cheekbones work with absolutely everything darling! Magdalena, Glossy salutes you!

GLOSSY VIDEO INTERVIEW BLOGGER AND ALL ROUND FASHIONISTA HANNELI MUSTAPARTA

Glossy Spotlight

n i t s i Kr randino Fer Founder & Editor of Prim Magazine I know you’ve probably been asked this about a million times but what inspired you at just 14 years old to start your own magazine - where do you think you got the drive to do it?

I have always been driven by aesthetics; I was the kid that was shunned by the rest of the grade for being “weird”. I never really minded it though because I knew something would come of it someday; I was always determined. I began my first style blog in the seventh grade and it was really nothing special. I got bored of writing and taking photos alone so decided to begin my own publication; sure it was a major jump but I decided to take a risk.

What’s been the best thing about working on Prim?

Definitely attending all the events (Fashion Week is clearly a favorite), being shot at various photo shoots, and answering interviews like these. It’s always fun to do something different each day. I also love booking people who personally inspire me for prim. I usually handle the booking for each issue.

What’s been the worst thing about working on Prim?

I think it’s just been tough trying to convince people I really am the editor.

So many times I have showed up for

fashion shows and I was turned away at the door until I called someone inside I knew to come and save me; people never think I’m the editor. It’s also hard not to have such a major social life like I used to. As you can probably imagine, it’s extremely difficult to balance work and school, not to mention a thriving social life, but I make time for it.

What do all your friends make of the fact that you’re a magazine editor?

Honestly, I don’t think many of them really care. I do not go to an art school and it’s not such a major deal to the students that I run a fashion magazine. I do have friends from other schools that think my job is absolutely amazing though. Whether people appreciate or hate my work I’m still going to make it, so whether my friends love or loathe it I couldn’t care less.

Do you find it difficult to give direction to other creatives you work with due to the age gap?

Not at all! In the beginning it was definitely a struggle trying to tell people I (hopefully) wasn’t going to fail but I think I have proved that with time.

Most of us struggle to hold down one job not to mention two how do you fit in Prim around your school work?

I am asked this question in every

interview and I never know how to answer; I guess I need to seriously start thinking about it. I definitely do not set time apart each day to solely work on prim. I guess I assess what I need to accomplish and tailor my day to fit those needs.

How is the magazine funded?

The magazine is funded by my family and me. Of course, the cost is diffused when we sell print copies and obtain advertisers.

Do you see yourself running Prim as a full time business once you get older?

I do somewhat see that. It would definitely be hard to leave it since I have edited it from the very beginning.

What I would leave it for has to be a job that is just to die for, and even then I’m not sure I would go.

Do you think if the internet didn’t exist you would still have been able to start up your own magazine and have it be as successful as it is or do you think it would be impossible without the net and everything it offers?

Definitely not! I would not be able to contact people easily, get as much press as I do, and get essential information as easily.

usic Video Director / Designer / Party Promoter Va$htie aka "Downtown Sweetheart" reminds us of the cool girl at school who was often imitated but never outshone. This New York City "it" girl has had an enviable career that includes directing music videos for Solange and Kid Cudi, starting up clothing label Violette which mixes her tomboy flair with high fashion sensibilities to create something truly unique and hosting a weekly 90s themed party that attracts both hip hop heavyweights and well heeled fashionistas such as Mary Kate Olsen, Cassie, Diddy, Mos Def and more. But career success aside, we love the fact that she's someone who clearly loves what she does and imbues her work with her inimitable charisma. Vashtie Glossy salutes you!

When did you first realise you had a talent for drawing ?

It was my Mother who first noticed I had a talent for drawing. She always tells this story. I was about 3 years old and my mother was running a bath for me. I was drawing on my bed and when she told me it was bath time, I just carried on drawing anyway so I think that made her a little cross with me. Time went by and eventually she came over to me, threw down my pencil and told me to get in the bath then she decided to actually take a look at what I had drawn and was very shocked at how professional my drawings were at such a young age. She then showed my father and my sister and so basically since I picked up a pencil all those years ago, I haven’t been able to put it

Christy Turlington & Rosie Huntington Whiteley

down since. My family and friends have been very encouraging all the way, so it’s cool to have such a great support system behind me. They know I'm super passionate about what I do!

Are you currently working as a full time illustrator ?

In my mind, I’m a full time illustrator but I also see myself as a fashion designer because I’m always coming up with new designs through illustration and once I have done a collection of runway models wearing my designs, I put them in a little portfolio. It’s like I’m a real life designer and so much fun!

I give myself schedules and deadlines for finishing my collections like a real designer would. I guess it's a great preparation for what I want to do!

Where do you find your inspiration ?

Well, when I was younger I was obsessed with Disney movies and I used to draw all the female characters so I guess that was my inspiration back then. I literally used to watch a Disney movie, pause it when my favourite female character was on screen and draw her over and over again. I used to pause the video so much, my Father used to get so mad at me haha. I was also obsessed with Jessica Rabbit from ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’ and used to draw her all the time. The female form and silhouette has always been so intriguing to me! Now that I’m a teenager, the cartoon style drawings I did as a child have progressed into professional fashion illustrations and I have perfected drawing females.
