Editor’s Note

Jared Kinley

We’re here.

We made it.

Lost Era’s first Issue packed full of content all created by the community of creators we have.

For that, for everyone’s time that was spent on this project, I just want to say thank you.

Every editorial has a different expression, a different story.

We wanted to create this magazine so the artists of this era have a chance to be heard no questions asked.. free roam.

We are here to spread a message of art and to conceptualize our thoughts on sexuality, confidence, and just being an overall badass. I hope everyone enjoys what we have created.. until next, my name is Jared Kinley, keep rebelling.

Nudity is Dichotomous by

Gillian Kenah

To be naked is to leave the most intimate layer of the body completely exposed, baring each imperfection and its ensuing insecurity. Even in solitude, it can be hard to be nude when all of the vulnerabilities that are normally shoved out of visibility loudly announce themselves in the mirror. Feet start growing cold on the bathroom linoleum and the decision is quickly made to put some clothes on. We’ve all been there.

Now imagine another pair of eyes or even a camera lens surveying your naked body.

Heartbeat fastens and maybe a few muscles tense up in experiencing the same nakedness but with the company of another body, disrobed or clothed. Your feet still feel cold on the hardwood floor of the bedroom and flaws feel as though they’re broadcasted across the projection of your bare body. We’ve all been there.

Though wherever you may stand, know that your feet are solidly anchored while you’re doing something brave, for it takes courage that’s born from your inherent strength. That’s right, you already have it in you and all over you. On the surface of your bare skin, vulnerability shares space with sheer toughness, a delicate yet opposing balance of human forces spread across your limbs to reveal it all at once. This all may come easily and naturally to some, but others may never wish to share at all. It’s a choice that is entirely up to you.

Women are given every reason to stay clothed, as we are continually instructed that wearing a short dress means we’re asking for it or that a revealing post on social media reflects poorly on our sexual choices. Showing skin is too quickly associated with sex before it is with a celebration of the female body; but women must not forget the strength in nudity. It takes strength to look past the scathing, misogynist Instagram comments and unrealistically high beauty standards that have long forgotten that the female body, in all of its variations, is art.

Letting yourself be fully seen by whoever you may choose, whether that be by partners, a camera, your followers or even just yourself in the image of your reflection, is strong. Our innermost layer is the sturdy foundation to our being, and while it can be considered private, the naked body is more than just acceptable to share –– it’s empowering as a sign of strength and comfort in your own skin, a victory during the long struggle for self-love.

Behind the sewing Machine With

Tylor Traxlor

Tylor Traxlor is just a normal dude in the midwest of the United States who has a huge passion In the creative field. Lost Era had the privilege to sit down with him and his dedication to his craft and creations is infectious. What does he do? He’s a clothing designer based in the midwest of the United States. Just like many artists there are so many ideas out there to create and that is no different for Tylor, he has two brands with two totally different styles and motives. Outsyde is as you can imagine the outdoor concepts but these are not just the average run of the mill outside clothes, he has created them to be modern, efficient, but also something someone would want to wear in not only the great outdoors but in everyday life. His second and newest brand is Within x Without. Outsyde is designed to be simplistic yet functional but that can be limiting on the creative side, Within x Without lets him create and let the imagination go.

Some companies make shirts but Tylor creates art. Every pattern and design is a careful, well thought out creation.

How did you get into clothing design?

I designed my first items in hopes of just building a small line of merch for promo of Outsyde, which began as a solar power and renewable energy project. That quickly shifted as I began to research and acknowledge space in the market and as I started to really enjoy design and curation of culture that came with building a clothing brand.

Why Clothing?

To be honest, in the macro, it’s not about clothing. Bigpicture sense, it’s about the culture and community derived from the brand. But in the micro and current outlook, I look at clothing as an identifier. An open and raw square footage to tell your story, even in a subtle way.

What are some things you have learned since your first design?

Balance. Often less is more, but sometimes you just have a lot to say.

Best advice to give a new designer?

Take the essence of others influence with you to further your process, but always pursue your own thoughts most.

What is one thing you want to always portray in your clothes?

Balance and thoughtfulness.

What led you to pursuing the genre of clothing you create?

With Outsyde, it’s the technical specs, materials endurance, and pursuit of progressive sustainability that attracted me to the outdoor space. In within x without, I wanted something that is culturally competent and could better communicate with the art and fashion community. It also allows me to be abstract in my thinking and execution.

When someone buys from your brand what do you hope they get out of it other than a new piece of clothing?

I hope its multi-dimensional. I hope they feel the piece as a tool to express themselves in their own day to day life, past my original design intention. It should take on a life of its own derived from their own pursuits

What is your go to statement piece?

Any hoody from Outsyde is fantastic. I think the new nylon ripstop pants will become an instant classic as well. From within X without, I really love the black short sleeve tee.

If you could get anyone to wear your clothes who would you choose?

Russell Westbrook or Rihanna. Or Obama. That would be cool too.

Photographer Spotlight

Molly Dickson

With each scroll through Instagram, it becomes increasingly difficult to find refreshing material in the photography world.

However, Texas photographer Molly Dickson has managed to nail the balance between mastering the classics and finding her unique twist to pull each viewer into every shot. Dickson’s relentless creativity is evident in her fashion-forward images, particularly her stop motion shots, which are assorted images that change quickly to create a short video.

As a kid, Dickson tried her hand at the “get-rich-quick” scheme by shooting in front of a bedsheet taped to the wall to sell calendars chockfull of her work. The plan soon fell apart because removing the bedsheet also chipped the wall paint, leading her parents to can the calendar idea. The setback then forced Dickson to shoot outside where she photographed cows and later entered a photography competition in the 5th grade. Though, she admits she lost to an image of a sunset. “I still hate photos of sunsets,” Dickson said.

Gear and technique are essential in creating a beautiful photograph, however, the emotion an image exudes is what sets apart the good from the great. Dickson said she is “really drawn to moments - where there’s not too much thought or risk of overthinking.” Interestingly, Dickson isn’t a photographer who 13

jumps to share “the one,” the photo that is the first to butter your toast, instead she seeks the images “that don’t feel as comfortable, or feel less taught.”

Whether you’re a landscape photographer or a pet photographer or in Dickson’s case, a badass fashion photographer, there’s always something that draws photographers to their subject. Dickson finds that models are more exciting than still life.

“It’s always interesting, or frustrating, or fun, or loud, or quiet. It’s a little bit of figuring someone out,” she said. Dickson does a killer job at telling stories and interpreting moments in the photos with her models. Every image makes the viewer stop and stare to understand all facets of the visual. She often has random props in her images, yet she finds a way to make its usage artistic. Here at OneHypedMag, we also love how Dickson is not afraid of nudity and expresses its vulnerable nature in many of her photographs –– her creations are beyond amazing.

It is impossible to give Dickson’s shots one generic label as they vary in composition and style, but her expertise continues to put each image in dialogue with the others and with this comes plenty of lessons learned. Here were a few of her top tips new or experienced photographers: • Have backup gear • Don’t overcomplicate • Have an opinion on your photo, don’t outsource it from outside sources • Everything looks good • upside down • The best way to learn how to shoot with models is by frequently 14

Finally, as a question for all of you photographers out there we asked about her gear; she shoots with a Canon 5d Mk iii, Hasselblad 501cm (drooling), and some old Polaroid 195 Land Cameras, lets also not forget the random “cheap, crappy toy cameras.”

Molly is this issue’s Spotlighted Photographer and we couldn’t be more honored to have such a talented artist with us at OneHypedMag. Check out her work on Instagram @savemolly.

Woman of the Era

Noel Delano

Lets all give a round of applause to Noel Delano, Lost Era’s First “Woman of the Era”. She could not make it here tonight because she is too busy traveling the world being a badass model. Okay.. this is not an awards show (not a bad idea, we’re getting sidetracked) but we are just too pumped to have Noel as our spotlighted model. She is in every definition what we look for to promote our brand and on top of everything we just have to aim our cameras and press the shutter, she does everything else. Delano is a signed model and with that, she is constantly working with big name clients and traveling across the globe, pretty sure she came in from Miami, shot with us, left to Iceland, and now is back in Miami, all in a month. She is a confident chick that isn’t afraid tvo work hard. We think she has a ton more to offer and wanted to know more about this beautiful individual so we asked her a few questions:

What age did you start modeling?

13

How did you discover modeling?

I saw photos of my aunt when she used to be a model, and it inspired me to give it a try. So I went to my local agency and got a contract.

Did you have anyone that influenced you to get into modeling?

Yes my grandmother, she helped me by driving me to castings and always being so supportive.

26

What are your goals as a model?

Signing with top agencies and working consistently has always been the main goal.

Why did you choose to pursue modeling?

I decided to pursue modeling because after giving it a try I found that I really enjoyed everything about the job, getting to travel, meet new people, and never getting bored of an everyday routine.

When you go to a shoot, how do you build relationships with creatives/other models?

I like to build relationships by seeing their creative vision either through a mood board, portfolio, or instagram. You can never judge a book by its cover in the creative world. I love getting to see how someone’s mind works.

If someone came to you wanting to be a model, what advice would you give them?

I’d advise them to go to their local reputable modeling agency, get signed, do test shoots to build their portfolio, work on their social media accounts, and not let any negative opinion set you back. Take everything anyone says with a grain of salt, believe in yourself and keep trying.

What is your greatest strength, as a model?

I’d say my biggest strength is my ability to be able to persevere through the tough up and downs the industry throughs my way.

What fashion statement in history is your favorite?

A fashion statement or trend that really sticks with me is the 2000s Denim trend. The classic matching Britney & Justin denim outfit embodies the entire 2000’s fashion statement.
