1 RIHANNA JOINS PUMA

Rihanna has been named creative direc tor of Puma. Her role

will include overseeing the womenswear line and the direction

that it takes in coming seasons. She will also become a brand

a m b a s s a d o r a n d j o in t h e f a m o u s a t h l e te s w h o a re a lre a d y

ambassadors such as Ussain Bolt . According to Puma she will

“de sign an d cus tomise classic Puma s t yle s as well as create

new st yles to add to the Puma pro duc t p or t folio.” S eeing as

her River Island collection was so popular Puma seem to have

made a great decision . We can’t wait to lay eyes on her f irst

collection!

2 PEANUTS

O n e o f t h e c u te s t c o lla b o r ati o n s in re c e n t ye a r s h a s to b e

the Peter Jensen X Peanuts team up. His adorable collec tion

includes sweatshir ts, skir ts, a playsuit and even a dress that

clearly takes inspiration from Lucy van Pelt. The collections is

available at Browns or online at brownsfashion.com.

3 KEIRA KNIGHTLEY PREGNANT

Keira Knightley ’s nex t great role will not b e one in a movie,

b ut that of m oth erh o o d . T h e a c tre ss an d h er h usban d have

confirmed she is pregnant with their first child. They married in

France in a low key ceremony in May 2013. We wish them all the

best and cannot wait to see the totally adorable baby they are

going to produce!

4 BLAKE LIVELY MATERNITY MAKE OVER

Blake Lively has to be one of the most st ylish pregnant stars

w e’ v e s e e n! S h e i s n’ t f o r t h e l ike s o f c ov e r i n g u p i n b a g g y

tracksuit bottoms and ponchos. If it’s red carpet she brings out

the glitz and glam in a gorgeous body tight maxi dress and by day

she’s still rocking heels, cute capes and her signature perfectly

wave d hair. We h ere at En V ie are lovin g it! S h e’s a f ashion

inspiration for pregnant women the world over.

collec tions of LBDs in December. Per fec t for any last minute

drinks with friends you missed over Christmas or the inevitable

January birthday or wedding that creeps up on you sooner then

you thought! Whether you want lace, sheer polka dots or maybe

a bit of feather trim, littleblackdress.co.uk has it all.

2. MOHAIR COVER UPSStill looking for a winter coat to take you right through to next winter and

beyond? Look no further than a warm mohair piece. Try pastel colours for

a lighter look or plaid and checks for a bright, more statement piece. Or you

could always go for failsafe black.

1. RED VELVETYes it’s definitely still winter, but don’t let the gloom of post-

Christmas get you down. Cheer yourself up with some warm

and luxurious red velvet. Try a statement dress or suit in a deep,

sumptuous red. If that’s too much, add a hint of red velvet to

your look with a sexy court shoe or headband. Whatever you

choose, revel in the luxury of wearing deep red velvet.

Welcome to a

new year.

After a fun filled Christmas it’s time to refresh our wardrobes with bargains from the January

sales and some of the latest trends of 2015.

4. Animal PrintB u t a c t ua l a nim a ls , n ot t h e p rint of t h eir

skin! Tr y cute cat s and dogs from Yumi, or

sharks from H&M. You can either wear one

statement piece with your boy friend jeans

and loafers or pick out some co-ords and go

animal crazy.

3. ALL OVER JEWEL TONESDon’t just wear one jewel toned piece this winter; rock a whole outfit of them!

To keep the winter blues at bay it helps to wear some colour instead of black

and grey all the time, but sometimes pastels are just not wintery enough. So

why not try picking a jewel tone such as emerald or burgundy? Just wear two or

t h r e e p i e c e s i n different shades of this colour that work well together

a n d yo u h ave o n e

a w e s o m e w i n t e r

outfit.

6. BURGUNDY NAILSJewel tones aren’t just for our clothes, but our nails too. A deep burgundy red looks great on

short or long nails; square, oval or talon-esque! Just remember to use a good quality bottom

and top coat to avoid chipping and you’ll look ever y inch the glamour puss your New Year’s

resolutions are aiming to make you.

5. ROSES ARE RED……or pink , or purple, or blue. Rock winter florals with the

co o l e s t p rint this N e w Ye a r. Ro s e s a re th e f l owe r of th e

moment, be it on a jacket, skirt, top or cute co-ords; they’re

everywhere. Keep the background dark for winter and match

with black and you’ve got a statement look to take you right

through to Spring.

Von Oneil started his career in the corporate word as an I.T Specialist in some of the most prestigious banking institutions in

the country where he was entrusted to develop security programs for database and networking systems to preserve its integrity and protect malicious threats and internet malware.

After his stint as an IT professional, he knew there was something bigger in-store for him,heco-founded several start-ups such as bidtraveler.com funded by Sequoia which also funded companies such as Google,Yahoo and Apple).

On the lighter side, Von is also known by his friends and contemporaries as a great Chef for hisAsian-Mediterranean fusion cuisine. Now he’s starting his new Food Stands/Restaurant in Bazaars around the METRO. The name of his new business is KATSURIFIC.

My Style IdeologyMy style ideology is about striking balance among the elements of what makes a great photograph remarkable. It is a holistic approach bringing one’s imagination into reality - emanating deeper into the mind, body and soul of one’s quintessence.

My InspirationMy passion for photography inspires me to do better and raise the bar for myself. It is like AIR, you cannot see it but you can feel it, the only reason for living in this world – my lifeblood. My mentors Doc Marlon Pecjo, Lope Navo and Winston Baltazar are my real life inspirations.

My InfluenceI am greatly influenced by some of the top fashion photographers such as Mert & Marcus, Terry Richardson, Mario Testino, Steven Meisel and Ellen Von Unwerth.

Personal InsightsI think photography is a lifetime learning, you will never get to a point where you will stop and say you have done everything there is to do, it is constantly evolving with times, that is why, it is important for you have to develop your own personal style. Your personal style should come from within your own inner soul.

Working methodologyI follow this mantra since I started photography: “Imagine…Achieve” , because if you could imagine you can achieve. Everything starts by thinking, planning, executing, and making things happen. In addition, the key ingredient to a successful photography career is to always have FUN in everything that you do because it matters.

L A CONVERS ATION

She sat anxiously waiting for him to arrive in her downtown LA hotel room. The finest linen on a bewitchingly warm bed, a new slim

and sleek black dress that fit her like a glove with white trim around the collar and sleeves, her hair perfectly pinned back, with deep matted red lips.

She lit a cigarette hoping to calm her nerves; one deep inhale after the next as the smoke billowed around her and accompanied her every move. As she began to relax, she fidgeted with her stockings, making sure each side lay right in the same spot on either thigh. She tightened her garter belts and began to think about her and her lovers first encounter. Her imagination was as vivid and complex as the perfectly aged French Bordeaux sitting beside her on the table. It had peaked and so too possibly had their love.

The year was 1932, only a few years after the stock market crash and she left small-town Mississippi

and the depression that enveloped it, to seek new ground and new ideas in Cinema Country, USA. The city glistened with hopes and promise to make anyone who set footing there a star. It carried the name Los Angles, and she felt just like a native angel as she floated across the streets in her new black lace-up heeled boots. She had been there less than a year when she met her young director friend. He would stroll her around town, and conversed his own dreams of stardom as they walked enthusiastically in front of the newly erected Grauman’s Chinese Theatre as well as other hot spots. These LA conversations became sacred to her, and enflamed the passion within her soul. Their entangled words contracted each of their fates and would forever tie them to that famous yet somewhat fabled city.

As they made love she would pretend he was someone between Laurence Olivier and Clark Gable. And on this particular night she knew he was to arrive at their lavishly over-priced hotel, in a

flawless white tux. She desperately hoped he would be exuding radiance and that suave manner that she had grown fond of in that short period of time, their romance had blossomed. But that wouldn’t be the case tonight. His knock suddenly bolted her out of her romantic thoughts and when she opened the door, he immediately ran to the phone. There was fear and disgust behind his eyes. She knew their path had taken a violent turn for the worse….

So what is it that we love so much about a torn love affair, especially one set in the era of the silent film in Hollywood? Maybe each one of us cries out for something stable but instead secretly dreams of someone or something that can keep us on a razors edge. And certainly us gals love the fashion that surrounded this era and was so beautifully made popular by the mass appeal of the film industry. Film brought everything that touched the screen into ‘popular culture’. No longer were fashion trends being heard through the grapevine or in print, they were vividly being seen on the big screen.

The white Clark Gable type of tux is timeless and still graces red carpets every year by some of the most debonair in Hollywood. But the thirties for women brought into focus, fashion that began to show off the silhouette (unlike the decade before, that sought to conceal a woman’s shape). Here we see our model in a low chignon, smoky eye, and deep red lipstick and we can all agree that these styles have been quite popular for sometime and certainly appreciate the Kardashian’s modern twist on the smoky eye. As well, this era for women’s fashion will forever hold its place for being sexy and sophisticated and can easily be seen in some of the world’s biggest designers work such as Roberto Cavalli’s last collection where he paired 30’s silhouettes with textures like leather, beading, and fur. So yes the holidays are over but we can still find a reason to dress up in our latest fashion reminiscent of a gorgeous time gone by. This January reignite your passion for fashion!

Osaka, a place I left when I was young, and returned since about a year ago. I wouldn’t describe this city as the

most beautiful of places, nor the most this or that… but there is "something something” special about Osaka that I haven’t encountered elsewhere before…

(23:30) Dressed in a Vintage Chanel tweed pencil skirt, topped with plain t-shirt in black, I trot alone through the busy neon filled streets of Minami (southern quarters of Osaka, aka Gastronomist Heaven) to catch my last train home. I just finished eating my Ramen noodles filled with garlic at the corner street stall - in Japan it is customary to finish the evening with a soup based dish no matter how much you ate before. We call it “shime” (closure in Japanese). This is a typical day for a working girl like myself.

(18:30) Today after work I had a formal reception to attend in one of our many starred luxury hotels. As usual I had forgotten a detail, and found myself without any accessory. Osaka region is the second largest metropolitan area in Japan, and alone has a GDP larger than that of over 150 countries in the world, so it’s not surprising that we are blessed with abundant choices of retail. Starting from the "Midosuji Avenue" often referred to as the "Champs Elysee of the Orient” to clusters of small designer and trendy boutiques, to the mega Department Stores. No need to peak in my wallet to know that today is not a day to buy the Lacquer Horn Hermès Earrings. So happily I make my way to my favorite 3 coin shop and find a pair of victorian inspired earnings for 300 yen, as cheap as everything else in the store. 

(21:00) After the fantastically glamourous rooftop reception- where a scent of Diptyque candles lingered, and socializing was the main dish with hungry colleagues of mine, we decide to make our way to a french-bistro that just opened near the

waterfront in Nakanoshima. One of my favorite districts, the Northern side of Osaka has a quiet laid-back ambience: a mix of modern urban landscape with retro buildings transformed into offices, creative boutiques, contemporary art galleries, cafes, and cigar scented bars.  Not to mention the fantastic strolls along the waterways, and views you can enjoy here in the Aquapolis of the East. But arriving in the area, we couldn't find the restaurant and decide to make our way back to the South. 

(22:00) Ura-Namba in the south area of Osaka is possibly the most “it" of places for nightlife now- the infinite maze of small alleys filled with restaurants and bars (most being “tachinomiya” style standing-bars that fit a maximum of 10-15 people if not less) attracts many.The crowd reflects the very nature of this city with its depth and variety, a mixture of young hipsters dressed in eclectic street fashion style, business men, retired bankers in their tailored bespoke suits and cane, "kawaii" cute girls in baby pink attire, politicians with pointed shoes, and students that come in all colors if not in uniform. 

Osaka is layered, deep in all its sense. Whether it be for Fashion, Cuisine, Entertainment or its People, it is typified by the highly concentrated mixture filled with wide variety, yet ultra maniac. There is mainstream, high end luxury, and cheap of cheap, yet with no need to differentiate. It is one of oldest capitals of Japan, served as a gateway to the later capitals of Nara and Kyoto. Safe keeping the ancient while flourishing with all that is new. It is a city where worlds cross yet each keeps a culture and dimension of their own. Last but not least, its safety and its friendly citizens welcome you with a smile.

(23:15) I part from my colleagues to go to enjoy my “shime” the last dish of the night.

Laura Esqueda was recently placed forth in the Miss Michigan beauty pageant 2015 as Miss Northville, USA. Born into the diverse

landscape state of sunny Texas to Hispanic parents but now residing in the 'Motor City' Detroit,  Laura started pageanting which led her to get into the modeling business as sort of a natural progression.  Laura is a big music lover, with such an eclectic range from 90's Seattle rock gods Nirvana to  'Piano Man' Billy Joel & legendary crooner Mr. Frankie Valli. Laura also has a love of cats, and big cats in particular and says she has a passion to help preserve and protect all African wildlife. Laura also declares a little bit of a 'nerdy' streak, declaring the Star Wars trilogy as her "favorite movies" - I'm sure she enjoyed the recent preview trailer and is

looking forward to the next instalment, due out next year as much as we are!

Please don't be intimidated though. Although you may see her exuding confidence, femininity and power while walking the catwalk or competing in pageants, this down to earth girl next door has a big heart .As we ask this upcoming model what are her goals for the future she says "I would like to build up my name in the modeling business and get into acting".

We wish you all the best in your efforts in pursuing your goals for the future and will be keeping an eye on what will be a great year for you with excitement and anticipation.

“The white light streams down to be broken up by those human prisms into all the colors of the rainbow.

A snow princess, drenched in white light, emanating heavenly halo. She is a mystery. She is reserved to the point of being poignant. Her blue eyes are ravishing. She is pure, innocent and is like the most immaculate dream you could have ever had. Soft, dainty, delicate, draped in white, she is the winter queen. Though young, she is enriched with experiences that makes her defensive. As the white silence engulfs her, she sits on the throne of elegance, consumed in deep thoughts. In the stillness of the pristine surroundings, she could clearly recall that day. It was a perfect day. Sunbeams fell on their faces as they sat on the morning-dew-wet grass. Brendon was unusually quiet. She tried to break the silence but

he seemed distant. Suddenly he stood up, looked at her...piercing her heart. She had the intuition of what was coming. And he uttered those two words which no one likes to hear “It's over”. Her blue eyes couldn't contain the tears that found their way to her pink petite lips through those pale white cheeks. Her world revolved around him. Here he was...shattering it all, and he never even bothered to give an explanation. As Brendon walked away in quietness, all she could do was question herself...'why?' Once bitten, twice shy – trust doesn't come easy. But the storm has passed. She's now calmly perched on that white chair, waiting for a miracle. And she asks... “How will I know who is my soulmate”. An inner voice answers... “Don't stop looking for love. You'll find it in the most strangest places. Risk failures, disenchantment and dashing of hopes. But continue the search...for it's worth it!”

EV: When did you realize you have a passion for fashion?LL: At a very a young age, when I used to go to church. Few grown women would dress so elegantly as if they were meeting the queen, So I started going everyday just to see what would they be wearing next.From then on I became so obsessed about fashion.

EV: What do you love most about your job?LL: The joy I get from doing something I absolutely adore and to be paid for it is just unreal.

EV: One of the biggest challenges you had to overcome as a stylist?LL: That you had to prove yourself and be able to do it all over and over again to be regarded as a fashion stylist.

EV: What kind of projects have you been working on lately?LL: Corporate styling which involves choosing the right uniform styles and color. Also directing fashion shows and events. Its been so hectic since I started designing my handbags under my label "Linda Lola handbags".

EV: Name your favorite boutique in Australia.LL: There are so many that I love and visit too often. Just to name a few for example, boutiques like Shiek, Dish, and Aje.

EV: How would you differentiate fashion from style?LL: Well fashion could be anything really that changes with time BUT style is something that stays with you no matter what age you are, its something that sets you a part from everyone else.

EV: Your dream shoot/collaboration?LL: Will have to be with a movie star, or some top model for Vogue.

EV: Best compliment you have ever received for your work?LL: I was on a very big style project a couple of years ago. The project had over 100 models with over 15 photographers and 5 hair and makeup but only one fashion stylist that was me, the project lasted for 4 days working long hours, when the project came to an end the director and producer of the project sends out a final email to all involved and one line in the email that I will never forget was "I think we all know that this project wouldn’t be possible without Linda Lola. Her amazing effort and unbelievable speedy styling for over 100 models with 65 different looks were done without a hiccup and she sent everyone on time at their required location with dressed perfectly for the part".

EV: What turns you on and what turns you off creatively?LL: I get turned on creatively with beautiful things and positive people around me. I get a high a rush from it all. I get turned off by going to an event and some people aren’t dressed for the occasion or dressed very badly without makeup, I know I know some say natural is beautiful but some abuse the privilege.

EV: Word of advice for those who want a career as a fashion stylist.LL: Do it and continue with it if you see yourself doing it in the next 10 years. Don’t worry about the negative comments, some will but use them as a ladder to climb to success and prove them wrong.

EV: Rapid fire: one word that comes to your mind when you hear...LL: Couture: RunwayRed Carpet: CelebrityDiva: Loud Pattern: Designing
