EDITOR’S LETTER

BEAUTYbreakdown

PATRICK DEMARCHELIER / COURTESY OF FASHION’S NIGHT OUT/VOGUE

or the first time ever, we are seeing one of the most venerable traits in fashion: humility. The most prized and often overlooked virtue. How can fashion be humble; it’s almost an antithe-

sis. If anything, fashion is proud: loud, egocen-

tric, glamorous, elitist, and exclusive.

Here at styleCanvas we are reminded to keep it simple in these trying times. Our concept: share what we love, and do it with authentic-

ity. New York is my favorite city, and we’re delighted to share the best of: from our F/W ‘09 couture trend report to the beats of music

producer Max Tannone—it is, after all, a state of mind.

Perhaps it is the state of the economy that is forcing industry insiders and consumers to connect in a way never imaged: Anna Wintour offering personal styling advice at Macy’s, mingling with Mr. de la Renta, or meeting the sister sartorial act behind Ro-

darte. It’s all happening at Fashion’s Night Out: A Global Celebration of Fashion, and yes, the public is invited.

BEAUTYbreakdown

As the world turns to Vancouver in 2010, we’re happy to bring it closer to the heart with our decadent beauty shoot at Noir Lash Lounge and share our favorite local designers and boutiques.

Why is humility so important, especially in this season of change? Humility allows us to keep an open-mind towards an unknown future, even though things look bleak and uncertain; it allows us hope towards an unfulfilled promise.

The show must go on. Despite several drop-outs, large scale-backs and cancelled fashion fetes for F/W 09; Spring 2010’s collection is back with a buzz. Fashion can no longer live in its bubble and ignore the harsh reality: the new collections both fea-

ture a restrained elegance that is appropri-

ate for the current sobriety; yet do not stifle creativity and continue to give us sources of inspiration that allow us to dream. So don’t hold back; the show must go on. We do not grieve as others do who have not hope—for it is in the darkness that light shines the brightest.

Uncle Karl says it best: “Change is the healthiest way to survive.”

LOUIS VUITTONThe monogram of Louis Vuitton makes it one of the most recognizable brands in the world. Founded in 1854 by Louis Vuitton Malletier, an apprentice luggage-maker, Vuitton’s products have since become a symbol of prestige. Due to its rich history, Louis Vuitton is rooted in tradition but has remained an innovative, modern and creative force in the industry–updating their emblematic Monogram canvas with graffiti, fringe, denim and Murakami illustra-tions to name a few wildly successful endeavours. Its ef-fective marriage of functionality, style, and design has made Louis Vuitton a household name since its beginnings in nineteenth century Paris, and allows the brand to continue to attract and maintain a loyal, discerning clientele who believe first and foremost in quality. At the age of fourteen, Louis Vuitton left his hometown of Jurna, France for Paris. Travelling the 400 kilometres by foot, Vuitton took a series of odd jobs along the way in order to pay for the journey. Once settled in the French

capital, he found a position as an apprentice layetier to Monsieur Marechal. Marechal’s clients consisted of promi-nent Parisian households. He also served as the exclusive packer of Empress Eugenie and her ladies-in-waiting. This often brought Vuitton to the Tuileries Palace and the homes of other well-heeled women at the time and as a result, Vuitton gained invaluable experience and under-standing of luggage. Often tasked with packing the clothes of Marechal’s clients before they embarked on their travels, Vuitton’s work ethic and quality of work earned him an es-tablished reputation amongst his customers, and Napoleon III appointed him as layetier to his wife, Empress Eugenie de Montijo. These experiences with the French aristocracy and royalty allowed Vuitton to develop an expertise and interest in travelling cases. As a result, he began to design his own luggage, setting the foundations for LV Co. Vuitton’s first business venture was founded in 1854, at 4 rue Neuve des Capucines in Paris, the shop was located

A BRIEF HISTORY OF...

the Paris World Fair in 1889. Georges continued to work to better the designs and introduced Louis Vuitton’s first catalogue, which featured not only specialized trunks but also a range of simple travel handbags. Following his father’s death in 1892, Georges created yet another canvas design in order to deal with the counterfeits. The new design (‘Monogram Canvas’) paid homage to his late father, featuring Vuitton’s initials interlocked amongst a simple background pattern of stars and flowers. It was an instant hit and still continues to be amongst contemporary consumers. Louis Vuitton began to look toward international expansion, a priority that had always been in the back of Georges’s mind. By the beginning of the 20th century, distribution had expanded to Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Brussels, Buenos Aires, Nice, Bangkok, and Montréal. 1914 saw the unveil-ing of the Louis Vuitton building on the Champs Elysées, to be used as the headquarters. World War I stalled the production of luxury goods and

Louis Vuitton felt the consequences. Unsur-prisingly, made-to-order items became rare and the factory instead set its focus on showcases for traveling salesmen. Louis Vuitton saw the return of its stylish client base as the economy began to grow stronger, producing

orders for the likes of Coco Chanel, Mary Pickford, the Vanderbilts, and Charles Lindbergh. Affected by the Great War and threatened with the possibility of another world war on the horizon, the Vuittons wondered how to increase the profitability of the company. Gaston Vuitton, Georges’s son, worked tirelessly to mprove factory efficiency, created an advertising agency and a design studio. When Georges died in 1936, custom orders were virtually non-existent. The company relied heavily on its expansive catalogue. The postwar period for Loiuis Vuitton was spent rebuilding business, replenishing factories, and restructuring their operations. Three of Gaston’s sons each took an important role in the rebuilding of Louis Vuitton: commercial manage-ment (Henry), financial administration (Jacques), and factory management (Claude). The first notable order after World War II was for Vincent Auriol, President of the French Republic, in 1951. Auriol was traveling to America for an official postwar visit: Louis Vuitton supplied all his travel necessities, making this yet another turning point in the compa-ny’s rich and complex history.

near Place Vendôme, conveniently located within proximity to the couture houses. It was also at this time that he married Emilie Clemence Pariaux and three years later came the birth of his son, Georges Vuitton in 1857. Vuitton’s familiarity with delicate and luxurious materials such as silk and satin earned him respect amongst the couturiers, who eventually hired him to pack their designs. In 1858, Vuitton introduced his flat-bottom trunks with gray Trianon canvas–el-egant and waterproof when varnished. The trunks were lightweight and airtight, a welcome alternative to the rounded-top trunks of the time that promoted water run off, but could not be stacked–a major travel problem. As a result, the Gris Trianon trunks ce-mented Vuitton’s status as a master luggage-maker and Vuitton’s business quickly flourished. Soon he had to move his business to a new, larger location on 1 rue Scribe, where he began to focus solely on trunk mak-ing. Vuitton’s work attracted the business of powerful political leaders such as King Alfonso XII of Spain and future Czar Nicholas II of Russia, who turned to Vuit-ton to supply their luggage. Cus-tom pieces were also a large part of Vuitton’s business, he created a set of unique trunks for Ismail Pacha, the viceroy of Egypt for the inagura-tion of the Suez Canal, as well as a trunk-bed for Pierre Svorgnan de Brazza, who opened up the Congo to the French in 1876. The quality of Vuitton’s materials, the beautiful, functional interiors, and unparal-leled design made his deluxe trunks his best work yet. As Vuitton’s success continued, he had his first encounter with an issue that would continue to plague his brand throughout history: imitations. In order to discourage the copying of the Gris Triananon, Vuitton debuted new designs, featuring contrasting stripes (available in red/beige and brown/beige) to cover his trunks. A year later, ‘Striped Canvas’ was again cop-ied and sold. Despite the issues with counterfeits, Vuitton’s popularity did not waver. The strength of his company lay in its ability to rapidly respond to the constantly changing modes of travel, which varied all throughout the second half of the nineteenth century. His son, Georges, married Josephine Patrelle in 1880 and on their wedding day, Vuitton passed the control of the business on rue Scribe to Georges. Georges played a pivotal role in managing the company. Under his control, five years later, in 1885, Louis Vuitton made its first debut abroad. Louis Vuitton opened its first store in London – the first of many expansions. Georges had finally come up with a new design for Vuitton luggage, to deter any further counterfeits. The pattern consisted of a checkerboard of beige and chestnut and featured the inscription “Louis Vuiton, marque desposee.” This is the design that earned Louis Vuitton a gold medal at

The end of World War II also prompted the compa-ny to look to fill other sectors of the luxury goods niche rather than laying off its workers. By 1959, Gaston had come up with a new way of treating the canvas, making his new line of Monogram Canvas products completely waterproof and durable enough for shorter travels. These bags were lightweight and practical, setting yet another gold standard in travel pieces. Between the years 1959 and 1965, 175 new travel items were intro-duced. A year before Gaston died in 1969, Louis Vuitton opened a new retail space in Tokyo. This was meant to address the burgeoning Asian market as well as to contain the problem of counterfeiting. As a result of it’s exclusivity, Louis Vuitton products became known as status symbols, thus increasing the amount of fakes due to the growing demand of owning a Vuitton item. Gaston hoped that by offering Asian customers au-thentic Vuitton, customers would be better informed and ultimately discouraged from buying fakes. Paired with an advertising campaign to fight against counter-feits, Gaston was quite successful in his goal. Gaston’s son-in-law, Henry Racamier, eventually took over Louis Vuitton in 1977. After the Second World War, Racamier had founded and managed Stinox, a steel manufacturing business, and had sold it at an incredible profit. Under Henry’s management, the company’s sales grew from $20 million in 1977 to nearly $1 billion ten years later. Racamier quickly rec-ognized that retail was the most lucrative sector and in order to achieve true universal success, Louis Vuitton had to expand its domestic and international presence and appeal. Consequently, Louis Vuitton stores were opened all over the world between 1977 and 1987. Ad-vised by financial director Joseph Lafont, Louis Vuitton also sold stock to the public in the Paris and New York exchanges. LV also began to acquire other compa-nies producing luxury goods. He purchased stakes in couturier Givenchy and prestigious champagne house, Veuve Cliquot. Racamier made sure that the takeovers were personal, courteous, and discreet, something that put Louis Vuitton miles ahead of its counterparts. In June 1987, a $4 billion merger between Louis Vuitton and Möet-Hennessy was announced. It was an exchange that allowed Louis Vuitton to continue to expand its investments in the luxury business, while saving Möet-Hennessy from the threat of takeover. However, Möet-Hennessy was three times the size of Louis Vuitton and therefore its president, Alain Che-valier, was named CEO of the new holding company, Möet-Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH), rather than Racamier, who became executive vice-president. Dis-agreements followed immediately, as the management at Louis Vuitton believed that Möet-Hennessy was try-ing to absorb its operations. The 60 percent stake that the Vuittons held in Louis Vuitton became a modest 17 percent share of LVMH. After a number of legal

disputes, Racamier invited entrepreneur Bernard Ar-nault to acquire stock in the company. He had hoped gain an ally within LVMH, but Racamier soon saw that Arnault had his own agenda. Arnault took advan-tage of the conflict between Racamier and Chevalier and with the support of the French investment bank Lazard Frères and British liquor giant Guinness plc, secured himself a staggering 45 percent controlling interest in LVMH. In the 1990s, LVMH focused on growth, choosing to spend more than $3 billion during in two years on acquisitions. During this time, Yves Carcelle was named the president of Louis Vuitton and one of his first acts was overseeing the opening of the brand’s first Chinese location at the Palace Hotel in Beijing in 1992. The immediate years following saw the debut of the leather Taiga line (1993), the celebration of the centennial of Gaston’s Monogram Canvas design (1996), and the introduction of the brand’s pen col-lection (1997). Marc Jacobs was appointed Creative Director a year later in 1998 and immediately he began working on the Louis Vuitton’s first prêt-à-por-ter collection for both women and men, just one of many of his innovations to come. Since then, Jacobs have been pivotal in keeping Louis Vuitton’s aesthetic and designs fresh and modern by collaborating with popular contemporary artists. In 2001, he worked in conjuction with the late Stephen Sprouse to create a design with graffiti written over the classic monogram. Jacobs then enlisted Japanese artist Takashi Murakami to create the incredibly popular Monogram Multicolo-re canvas range as well as the Cherry Blossom design in 2003. More recently, Jacobs has partnered with Richard Prince and Kanye West to produce limited edition pieces. His innovative direction has managed to keep Louis Vuitton relevant while still adhering to the company’s traditional strengths: responding to the ever-changing whims of society. ADRIENNE TSANG

ZIMMERMANNFRONT ROW WITH...

Sartorial isn’t necessarily the first word that comes to mind when one thinks of Sydney, but native Australian sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann are recharting the fashion map. Since the concep-

tion of the eponymous label in 1991, Zimmermann has been established as an arbiter of style on local sands: “If Sydney was personified, she’d be bronzed, brazen… [and] wearing Zimmermann,” quips the Sydney Morning Herald. With a heritage in haute swimwear, Zimmermann has earned a loyal clien-

tele whose discerning eye for quality fabrics and un-

conventional silhouettes renders the label’s highly coveted pieces a closet staple. Perhaps indebted to its geographical climate, Sydney is forced to be at

the forefront of next season’s styles, which trans-

lates into the brand’s DNA of creating a new point of reference with its original prints, bold designs and architectural cuts. Fashion is a family affair; as Zimmermann’s roots go deep. Nicky was already designing her own wardrobe long before she became the label’s creative director. Setting up her first makeshift atelier as a precocious little girl: Nicky learned the craft from her mother and aunt and started to create her own ensembles; whether it was adding her own embellishments to store-bought outfits or producing her own originals with patterns and fabrics around the house. Inspired by both her milliner grandmother’s magic and father’s busi-ness sensibility, Nicky was a fashion designer in the making. Zimmermann’s framework began with Nicky showcasing her pieces at Sydney’s Paddington markets, “a testing ground for fashion entrepreneurs,” as Simone calls it. The tipping point was when she acquired an editorial spread in Australian Vogue—wholesale orders from stores started to pour in, and Nicky, boosted by her sister’s corporate milieu, opened a small bou-

tique in 1991. Simone muses about how Nicky’s start-up was her “marketing case study.” Proving that one can mix business and person-

al, the sister sartorial act attribute their success to the importance of mutual respect and shared core ethical values. “The early days were all about trial and error and getting our hands dirty,” recalls Simone. The quintessentially Australian label stays true to its original vision: traditional meets unconventional, sophisticated femininity; strong silhouettes and delicate origami prints dictate the label’s direction. The Zimmermann woman is one who has a strong sense of self and values authenticity: “She may have travelled the iconic beaches of the world during the year, but

Offering ready-to-wear pieces that inspire a sample-sale state of mind stockpiling fervor, and haute swimwear that extends beyond cruise collections; Zimmermann is the Australian label that’s becoming a purveyor of international style, injecting a fresh look and modern relevance into fashion.

[when] she is back home… this is where she is true to her-

self,” asserts Nicky. Elevating couture swimwear beyond the boundaries of cruise and resort collections, Zimmerman expanded its sartorial know-how into the world of prêt-a-porter in 2007. This season, Zimmermann takes us into a magical world of “Woods, Witches and Wonder”; a darker muse governs the winter collection, showing off an edgier, more sophisticated side of the effervescent label. Zimmerman’s collection is for the woman fluent in the season’s must-haves, yet chooses to emphasize her own personal style. The embellished jacket, the one-shouldered dress (both in classic black and right-now saffron), and the high-waisted pant (embellished with gold chain) all affirm fall/winter 09’s on-trend essentials. A little tough-chic, a little glamorous, but altogether wildly feminine and flattering with the I-want-to-wear-it-now fac-

tor. Not many labels manage to be flirty, fun and fashion-forward at the same time; perhaps tomorrow’s answer to Derek Lam-meets-Balmain, Zimmermann stands out with its reinvention of classic staples such as the laser-cut LBD and maxi winter floral wrap-dress. The collection sings with dulcet tones of smooth black, luxe fabrics, bright silks and strikes a chord with subtle touches of ruffles and frills, creating an effect that is fierce rather than frou-frou. Zimmerman has exploded onto the international scene, showcasing ready-to-wear collections at both Australian and Miami Fashion Week, while maintaining showrooms in Sydney, London and New York. The house also boasts an impressive stocklist which includes luxury department stores such as Barneys New York, Saks Fifth Avenue, Henri Bendel’s and specialty boutiques such as Intermix in SoHo. Nicky is excited about the upcoming opportunities and growth of the brand: “There is always so much more to do. In Australia, we will continue the expansion of our retail stores into new markets and internationally—particularly in the U.S—we have now reached a point where we are a genuine player in the fashion swim and resort markets and the challenge will be to build on that. As a designer, I think I am continuing to grow and am definitely better at what I do now that at any time previously in my career. I also enjoy working with a wonderful group of creative collabora-

tors.”

For the days you don’t feel like getting all-dressed-up, yet want to remain effortlessly chic, LILY+JAE is the go-to label for soft-blended wovens, cozy organic cotton jerseys and smart wool suiting. This season, fall in

love with the local line that is redefining laid-back luxe. By Sandy Young

Best described as an indie label that is flu-

ent in the au courant, Jude Feller is creating a sartorial mise-en-scène that offers the best of both worlds: form and functionality. Think contemporary and clever cuts that are acces-

sible, yet not mainstream, grown-up yet fun. LILY+JAE maintains a fashion-forwardness without compromising on comfort and per-

sonal style. Sarah Polley quips, “LILY+JAE is perfect for the tomboy flirting with the idea of being girly.” The heart of the label lies in the concept of juxtaposing masculine-feminine, offering fash-

ionable separates that channel a casual lux-

ury; and dolled-up pieces that stand out. The story behind LILY+JAE started in 2006, when Jude Feller was working with film and televi-sion wardrobe. Her trips to local boutiques left her dissatisfied as she searched for detail-

oriented, ready-to-wear pieces that combined style and functionality. Inspired by the lack of selection, Jude was inspired to create quality pieces that she would want to wear. And the rest, as they say, is history. LILY+JAE injects much needed fun and ex-

citement into prêt-a-porter. This season calls for directional pieces and updated classics that work diligently to offer versatility from day to night. With Adventure as its muse, LILY+JAE offers a fall/winter 2009 collection of whimsi-cal pieces that are grounded in architectural drapes and expert tailoring: darling dresses, high-waisted skirts, menswear inspired pieces in delectable earth-tones, sophisticated egg-

plant, vintage prints and classic black. The juxtaposition of girl-next-door sim-

plicity meets girl-about-town charisma is the secret behind the brand’s success. LILY+JAE

offers timeless pieces that are structured and poised, in classic hues of cream, olive, oatmeal and taupe to please the sophisticate. The oth-

er end of the sartorial spectrum, showcases the label’s subversive cool with slouchy pieces, and androgynous cuts: boyfriend sweaters, oversized cardigans that work seamlessly when paired with leggings, vests, belts for the style pragmatist. Independently designed and tailored in Vancouver “with love and sustainable materi-als”, LILY+JAE is the name-to-know that is revamping the Canadian fashion scene. Its flirty aesthetic and unparallel quality has sought an impressive clientele which includes Lily Allen, Ashlee Simpson, Amy Smart, and Kristen Kreuk. LILY+JAE is also stock-listed in various boutiques across Portland, Los An-

geles, New York, and Philadelphia; along with a successful entry in the Japanese market, fans can look forward to an upcoming foray into Europe. We can’t wait to see where they go next.

LILY+JAE explains it perfectly.

Models before they change into their ward-

robe.

Not to give up and a few different people have given me this advice.

Boots and Dresses.

Creative, passionate, fun(ny), Ambitious, Cu-

rious.

It’s really grown up a lot but the original aesthetic still sticks. The idea was always to have a mix of tomboy and girly and it still feels this way to me. We still have our signa-

ture “LILY+JAE” pieces in each collection and always will.

My vision for Vancouver is to get away from the recreational fashion scene. To express the style and individuality that comes from here and stress that there’s more than yoga pants to be created from this little gem of a city.

This really changes with the time of year but I’m currently doing sales for SS10 and pro-

duction for our 2nd delivery for fall 09/10. At this time of year I usually have enough time to exercise at the start of the day, work from home for a couple of hours and then head to the office for ap-

pointments and meetings for the rest of the day, go home and work from home for a couple more hours. My days tend to be pretty long.

Running in the morning and I can’t deny a glass of white wine in the evening.

The inspiration for the photo shoot came from the theme for the season which was “choose your own adven-

ture”. The idea behind this story is to show the versatility behind the brand and also to relate to our economy in its current state.

Finding LAon the

For as long as I can remember, fast-talking, city-slicking New Yorkers have looked down on West Coasters and their (or should I say “our”) sense of style. There is no doubt that the people of NYC are sartorially sophisticated, but in any conversation about geographical differences in fashion and style, I’m always the first to point out that Los An-

geles has a unique role in our fashion indus-

try and a distinct culture that characterizes our definitive style. First of all, Los Angeles is a renowned shopping destination with many high-end and vintage boutiques, major national and international chains and massive department stores. Shopping drives the industry and no city can influence fashion without being a source from which fashion and style springs forth and is attained—Los Angeles offers both.

The city is unique for its sprawling gar-

ment district that spans several city blocks of the downtown area. Most notably this district is the central domestic hub for fast fashion importers and wholesalers—some would con-

sider the parasites of the high fashion indus-

try while others would praise as the saviors to budget fashionistas everywhere. LA’s premier fashion school the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) has served as a stepping stone for many tal-ented designers who dreamed of breaking into the industry, many of which have taken the Project Runway competitions by storm. The institution is also the alma mater of another reality TV star, cover girl, fashion designer and quintessential California girl Lauren Con-

rad. Yet another reality celebrity, high-profile stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe also resides and operates out of the greater Los Angeles. With

the rise of these and other LA style icons often seen in mainstream print and television media, the influence of West Coast style is growing in both strength and breadth. And while reality TV is not considered in the fashion world to be the most tasteful exhibition of the industry, notably Vogue’s Anna Wintour prefers to take the high-brow documentary approach; it is unmistakably evident that people in all parts of the country are tuning in to take style cues from Californians. So while it is arguably clear that Los Angeles has widespread influence in the fashion industry, it is considerably more obvious that Los Ange-

les will never be New York, and vice versa, nor should it seek to be. They are simply too different. There are several major differences in the ways that the opposite coasts view and treat fashion. One is a direct cause of the celebrity-obsessed culture that exists throughout the country but is mainly attributed to a little corner of South-

ern California called “Hollywood.” Here in LA we’ve spawned legions of celebrity designers, though I’ll be the first to admit that a house-

hold name by no means merits any designer cred. In my opinion most celebrities ought to stay out of the design process and stick to where they have proven style influence—serv-

ing as the walking advertisements that PR girls pitch to. Another difference also linked to the prox-

imity to Hollywood studios and our entertain-

ment-infused culture is seen in terms of what is considered and accepted as attractive by the opposite coasts. Simply put, here in Los An-

geles we have girls that are typically “actress pretty” while New York women are more often “model pretty.” And though there is some over-

lap in opinions and always the high-profile exceptions, generally speaking the former is more palatable to the average American while

ing to “try too hard.” New York’s fashionable women would find it more unacceptable to be irrelevant or, Heaven-forbid, unnoticed. These choices all reflect social cues and norms that differ between the two cities. In the West, it is powerful to be nonchalant and to casually own your look and weak to be dressed-to-the-nines and to feel the need to impress others. In the East, showing status symbols is all a part of the game and to be seen as out of your league and unable to keep up your look is the greatest tragedy. To be able to have one wardrobe that can navigate in and out of both social circles is the brilliant genius of the greatest jet-setting style icons of our time. Ultimately, I think there is a crucial need for the binary relationship between New York and Los Angeles. The push-and-pull is inspir-

ing to designers and consumers alike. Fash-

ion tends to be so much about mimicry and fitting in that without differing viewpoints it would become one big bore. It is the outli-ers among us that open our eyes to creative innovation and keep the industry striving, thriving and alive.

style sabbatical Like a tacky pair of lime green Crocs and as the over-

used saying goes, “I have a passion for fashion,” I grew up in an interesting household of awkwardly dressed siblings and parents who couldn’t care less if their socks matched; but somehow I lucked out on my family’s gene of distasteful fashion sense and was born with quite the natural flare for detail and style. I thrived or some can even say “hustled” in the fash-

ion retail industry for the past seven years. I took great satisfaction in being able to help individuals develop a sense of style while building up their self confidence, but I think I was most content with the generous staff discount that was waiting to be abused every chance I could. As I slowly stepped away from retail, I had the oppor-

tunity to successfully complete the Fashion Merchandis-

ing Program at Blanche Macdonald Centre in Downtown Vancouver, which has definitely opened a few doors for me. I became an Oakridge Style Agent, which is a fash-

ion and lifestyle ambassador for Oakridge Centre and I also regularly contribute to the centre’s smart online blog at OakridgeStyle.com. However, my claim-to minor-fame is through my own smart-mouthy blog known as TheStarvingStylist.com. The Starving Stylist is my online diary that records my rants, thoughts, obsessions and stories of my life. Who would have ever thought that people would get so much pleasure in reading me bitch about my so called life? Regardless, whether it’s my fashion hungry driven soul that attracts people or my rationalization for opt-ing style over comfort on any given day, there is no de-

nying that many have the guilty voyeuristic pleasure of reading the diary of others. I don’t blame you for reading mine, it would probably make you glad that you lived a normal life that wasn’t enslaved by fashion.

It is with sweet sorrow that we bid farewell to the barely-there and short lived Vancouver summer but I gladly welcome the gorgeous autumn season and lovely fall fashions that come along with it! Beautiful struc-

tured wool coats, tailored jackets, layered clothing, vi-brant coloured scarves and luscious leather boots—the fall season is by far the trendiest season! I’m the type of person that used to shop for entire new wardrobe every season, spending my student loans on new outfits, lavish shoes and designer handbags in-

stead of books and supplies for school like I’m supposed to. I’m absolutely horrible and shame on me! My par-

ents would be disappointed in me but I bet you Carine Roitfeld would be awfully pleased with me strolling into class fashionably late with the current season’s perfo-

rated bowler bag from Dior Homme and a leather jacket so luxuriously supple, it would feel as though you were wearing velvet butter. But since then, my materialisti-cally wild spending habits have toned down immensely and I am living through the wise words of the admirable Coco Chanel, “Fashion fades, only style remains the same.” This fall I’m going to stick with the classic investment pieces and just basically change it up with simple acces-

sories. Just like a every woman’s LBD or every man’s tailored black suit, its necessary wardrobe essentials like these that can be easily updated by just throwing on a belt and some necklaces or a new coloured shirt and tie for a whole new look. Accessories such as: bags, neck-

laces, pins, scarves, belts, hats and the list can go on for miles, are great ways to make an outfit look refreshed by simply adding it to your wardrobe. I have two entire chest of drawers filled with nothing but accessories be-

cause they are the least expensive way for me to revamp an entire outfit or a piece of clothing without making it look as though it was the only thing I owned. Start shopping for classic pieces of clothing and items that won’t look outdated five years from now. A high quality and plain white button-down shirt or a pair of dark denims with absolutely no distressing or detail might sound a little drab and snore worthy but its ba-

sics like these that help make the wardrobe versatile and manageable. Also, start looking for tailored blazers or coats in traditional and neutral colours, so it can be easily worn with many different outfits. Wool peacoats and trenches are terrific choices in outerwear and ev-

eryone should at least own one of the two because these cuts are classic couture investments that will last a life time and will not go out of style. My personal style con-

stantly evolves and changes, as I’m sure it does for every-

one else. I was the former poster child for worshipping fads and fell in every single trap marketers threw at me. Sure, some might think it’s fabulous to own those tattooed inspired apparel pieces that are decked from head to toe with jewels and skulls on them and can be seen polluted with people wearing them throughout the city, but these are just trendy fads that will go out of fashion. I don’t find trendy fad clothing worth investing anymore because they will generally last you for one season and then they will be thrown into your closet to never see the light of day ever again. I have become a lot smart with my spending but let’s not say I wouldn’t sacrifice my automobile for those luscious lambskin leather Louis Vuitton riding boots that I’ve been obsessing over because after some good rationalization, I would actually get more use in walking around in the city in those boots than driving in my car! Regardless, fashion will come and go but it’s personal style that truly gives you a signature. Fashion maga-

zines, bloggers, trend reports, and even your friends and family are a great way to help you build your sense of style. Sure, I might viciously rant about something I loathe on my blog but hey as the saying goes, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

Accessories are your best friend. They can effort-

S T Y L E C A N V A S ( stylespiration )

lessly change an entire look, making it look refreshed and updated without breaking your bank.

Find a good tailor. Sorry Cavalli, sometimes we just can’t alter our bodies to fit you, therefore we must alter YOU to fit US! Therefore, search for a good tai-lor that can easily fix and alter your clothing from your

wardrobe without making you spend too much time and money shopping for some-

thing else new.

Shoes say a lot about a person. The quality of your shoes can reveal how much respect you have for yourself. Scuffed up and ratty shoes show unprofessionalism and carelessness while polished and new shoes show confi-

dence and class.

Be presentable looking at all times. You will never know who you will bump into at any given time. After many embarrassing encounters that I’ve had in my lifetime, I’ve made a vow that I will always look my best when I walk out of my home, so some of you may want to consider that too.

Dress for your body and not for what’s in season! I could care less if every girl in Milan is running around in crop tops, but if your stom-

ach pooch is spilling out of your jeans, then you should know that your outfit is just not working for you!

With the amazing honour of being able to sit front row at Balenciaga, I sure hope creative director of the house, Nicolas Ghesquière would be oh so kind enough to lend me an outfit to wear from the collection! I would expect to wear something very architecturally tailored and fit-ted like a suit in a stone grey colour with stiff shoulders

I’m a self-proclaimed obsessed ‘Uncle Karl’ fan so without a doubt my outfit would be a dedi-cation to him. I would proudly parade around a cartoon graphic t-shirt of himself and then dress the outfit up with a black fitted blazer, grey coloured skinny slacks and pair of black patent leather shoes. Then I would accessorize the outfit with a vintage silk Chanel scarf tied to my belt loop followed by the signature Karl Lagerfeld black leather gloves and black sun-

glasses.

I’d be pictured in a short sleeved collared shirt, tucked into a pair of dark denims complement-ed by a brown leather belt and white loafers. Also, I’d probably be caught hauling around a gigantic designer handbag of some sort with a second fabulous outfit hidden inside in case of a emergency wardrobe change if I didn’t get no-

ticed by the Sartorialist the first time.

With an opportunity like this, it would have taken me three days to figure out what exact-ly I would wear to this interview because the way you present yourself for a fashion stylist position is probably the biggest determining decision to the job than any oral answer to a question. Therefore, I would want to keep my outfit classic but with a touch of my personal-ity by wearing a three piece slim fitted suit in a grey-brown tone and herringbone pattern with a matching vest complemented with a tra-

ditional white dress shirt and a silk patterned scarf, that’s worn as an ascot with the signa-

ture Hermès colours of orange, white, brown and blue. Then I would then pair the suit up with polished brown leather oxford boot, a large brown leather portfolio to hold my documents and papers and a touch of vintage with a bronze pocket watch and chain that was linked to my suit vest. Très chic!

I grew up in Halifax, Nova Scotia. After high school

I went into the Psychology program at the Concordia

University. After realizing I did not want to continue in

Psychology I took some time off to think, I kept asking

myself “what do I love to do?”, I was always the go to girl

in High school for makeup/hair for dances and proms I

loved it! I also always read fashion and celebrity mags and

then realized makeup is what I want to do! To be behind

the scenes, just like an actor likes to be in front of the

cameras, I loved the whole behind the scene world. That’s

when I studied makeup artistry in Montreal and then de-

cided to save up money to go to school in L.A at the Em-

pire Academy of Makeup. This was the best experience

of my life! My teacher Donna Mee, who is the owner, is

still an inspiration to this day, and we have maintained a

relationship after 6 years. I think any artist has to take that

plunge one day, that’s how you either make it or don’t!

What motivated me to take the plunge into full time make-

up work was there were times when I was working at my

day job in Toronto and I would miss a call to assist

on a music video, or some other job because I was

at my ‘regular’ job. I would call them back within

the hour to confirm I could do the job but the job

would be gone! It would go to the first makeup art-

ist available! I didn’t want that to happen anymore,

so that’s when I took the ‘plunge’! This is the type

of industry that you need to take risks in, you need

to push, you have be persistent and patient, people

don’t come knocking at your door you have to go

out and get it!

It’s hard to choose because I’ve had so many great

experiences in all cities! I lived in Montreal which

is a beautiful city, but not a favourite! Toronto

rocked, I had a lot of amazing opportunities there

and I loved my time there. I definitely see myself

living back in Toronto again one day. Vancouver

has been really good to me, I’ve gotten the most

experience here, and finally got representation out

here! My least favourite city to live in was L.A,

but would probably have to say it was my favou-

rite to work in; there is just so much going on

there! I loved living in California, who wouldn’t?!

The sun shines 11 months out of the year. As for

future plans of moving to the states, I just take it

one day at a time, and never limit myself! I plan

to visit New York one day as well.

To be honest I have nothing negative to say about

the industry here except for it’s a small one!

There are a lot of very talented people here, I think

the only way the industry can go here is up, I think

a lot of us have felt what’s going in the world with

the economy, but all you can do is be positive and

figure out what your next step is.

While in Toronto I assisted on a couple Joe Fresh

fashion shows at Toronto Fashion Week! That was a

great experience as fashion shows are probably one

of my favourite things to do!

I assisted on the TV show “Trailer Park Boys,”

where I was on set during their first year of filming.

I couldn’t keep a straight face for the whole year of

shooting, they were hilarious!

I loved seeing the final project as well for the “Swim

Co” advertising that I recently shot.

I did a billboard for “Trade Secrets” (East Coast

beauty chain), I remember my friends saw it before

I did and sent me texts saying “you’re famous,” I

laughed! I was also booked for their TV commercial,

the crew was awesome!

I have also been having a great summer with my

Bridal Clients, I have had really amazing people this

year!

styleCanvas of course!

We shot a model in freezing cold water with some

coloured fibres on her face! She was so cold I felt

bad for her, but in the end the shot looked great!

Those models deal with a lot I could never do what

they do! Some of them are amazing!

It’s always a pleasure shooting with Renat, Matthew

Burditt they have helped me build my book along

they way! Amazing talent! There’s so many others

that have helped me too I just don’t have enough

room to right them all, I thank them too very much!

Skin is my favorite it’s the base to any makeup! If I

have great skin to work with the rest is easy! Every-

thing inspires me! Nature, art, books, other artistic

people.

When I was in California I was assisting on an indie

short filmed by directors who worked for Happy

Madison Productions. We were shooting in the Sony

Pictures lot, as I’m touching up a few of the actors I

look up to see Diane Keaton standing very close to

me with hot rollers in her hair asking how our day

was and what we were shooting! She was very cool,

we had a few others walk through our set that day

too! You just never know who your going to meet

while working down there.

Well, when I got out of makeup school! I did EV-

ERYTHING by the book every step in order! I used

way too much of everything all the time! A lot of

people do that right after makeup school! They want

to be really creative and put a whole bunch of colors

together, with Primer, foundation, and tons of powder

etc.. until one model in Toronto called me out on it!

(laughs) She said to me “You’re really by the book

aren’t you?” So from then on I started to develop my

own style! LESS is more! So now I carefully look

at my model or person in my chair, if she has perfect

skin why use all that product? When I’m working on

a person I actually almost always do eyes first, and

then skin depending on the products I’m using! If I’m

working with lighter colors on the eyes I will do skin

and then cheeks, then eyes! I don’t do things in order

anymore!

I was raised by my father, he is my hero, he has made

me who I am today! I have a tattoo on my foot for

him! My mother was a young mom, I got to see her

on some weekends. I can remember just sitting on

the counter of the bathroom watching her put all her

makeup on and just thought! Wow that’s beautiful! She

would let me try stuff on her lipsticks and eye shad-

ows; I thought it was so cool. I would ask her tons of

questions just like kids do! I was a chatty kid, and be-

ing the only child growing up I wanted everything!

To be honest, I’m pretty low maintenance with my

own makeup, I’m the type of person that once I

put my makeup on and am out of the house, I don’t

touch up! But I do touch up my lips! I always have

2 glosses and 2 lipsticks in different shades! It’s the

want to spend tons of time, just make sure you leave

the house with a good primer on under your founda-

Black clothes (because of my job)! Anything that

MARIANNA’S TIPS & TRICKS

Make sure you have a base for under your eyes to help your shadow last all day! Use any one of your fav great grey eye shadow blended all over the lid, add a second coat for more intense color! Suggestions: with a more dense brush you will achieve a more intense look, while using a more flu!y blending brush you will achieve a more softer look Keep the dark-ness under your brow bone, add a touch of highlight to your brow bone! MAC print eye shadow works well! Eyes to kill palette from Giorgio Armani, 17# ivory beige, deep black from YSL Duos.

- Find a liquid or gel based liner which you can use with a thin angled brush or a liquid liner with a great applicator brush! Lancôme has the Artliner with a really thin applicator to get that perfect line. Try MAC’s Boot Black liner. Makeup forever Aqua cream liner glides on nicely with an angled

brush to give you that long wearing waterproof e!ect

- Don’t forget a primer with red lips, MAC has a great Lip Prep and Prime! This will keep your red lipstick from feather-ing and make it more lasting! My favorites are Brick Liner from MAC and Russian Red Lipstick for a more matte texture. Also try Deep Raspberry #30 from Giorgio Armani,, #14 Red Coral for lighter skin tones. Everyone can wear red its just finding the right shade! When trying red lipstick, try testing a strip on your bottom lip first before smuttering it all over, then once you feel like it’s a good shade for you try it all over your lips! For a softer red lip try

using your finger and smudging the color all over!

A B O U T K I S S & M A K E U PA-list apothecary and accessories, that’s what’s inside and online at Kiss & Make-

up. Kiss & Makeup is a refreshingly frank and friendly fashion and beauty resource. In-store services include make-

up lessons, and parties; eyebrow shaping, special occasion makeup, style consulta-

line at www.kissandmakeupstore.com

TELL US THE STORY BEHIND KISS AND MAKEUP. WHERE DID YOU DRAW YOUR INITIAL INSPIRATIONS BEHIND KISS AND

MAKEUP?

I opened the store in 2004, when I was only 24 years old. Fresh out of BCIT’s intensive Venture Program, I wanted to create a fresh, friendly and educated fashion and beauty haven. I have always suffered from severely sensitive skin, so drugstore beauty brands are out of the question for me. To this day I’m still the in-store guinea pig trying and testing all the products my-

self. WHAT KEYWORDS USED TO DESCRIBE THE BOUTIQUE?

Conscientious, original, organic, interesting, natu-

ral, refreshing, friendly, approachable, energetic, re-

course, bohemian, bourgeois, chic.

WHAT IS THE VISION OF KISS AND MAKE#UP? HOW HAS YOUR AESTHETIC VISION EVOLVED SINCE KISS & MAKEUP’S CONCEP#TION IS %&&'?

The new store is lighter, brighter, and bigger than our original space which was

also lovely with rich, warm, dark wood. We’ve moved in a fresher direction with a Pari-sian influence. The vision is continually evolving but the foundation of having excep-

tional staff, phenomenal and specifically chosen products, and a highly aesthetic and ap-

pealing environment remains the same.

I LOVE THE CLEVER PLAY ON WORDS OF THE BOUTIQUE’S NAMESAKE—HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE NAME? WHAT WERE SOME ALTERNATIVES?

I originally opened the store in partnership with my sister. We used to say: sisters, rivals, friends, you get the idea. I’ve always loved the name, and apparently others do too, if imitation is any indication. A few other stores by the same name have opened elsewhere in the world.

HOW DID YOU FIRST GET INTERESTED IN BEAUTY? DESCRIBE YOUR EARLIEST BEAUTY

MEMORY.

Funny enough, I was a total tomboy growing up. Really, it all started in university with my own sensitive skin issues

searching and sourcing for products that I could use.

ELABORATE ON YOUR PASSION FOR AND THE STORE’S PHILOSOPHY FOR ORGANIC AND NATURAL BEAUTY PRODUCTS?

It’s a lifestyle and one of the reasons I love living on the West Coast. We are so aware of what we eat, that we exer-

cise, meditate, enjoy the out-doors; what we put daily on our bodies is the next logical step. It’s completely rewarding to find a product that provides amazing results that I know has the best possible ingredi-ents. WHICH PRODUCTS IN KISS AND MAKEUP’S FALL LINE#UP ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT?

Don’t Tell Mama nail polish by Lippmann, it’s a beautiful take on dark polish, but in an emerald green. Stila Barbie Smudge Pot. Who would not be excited about bright purple and blue.

WHAT ARE YOUR ALL#TIME FAVORITE AT#HOME SPA INDULGENCES?

Once a week, with out fail, I do a three-step at home fa-

cial regime: Start with Fresh

79STYLECANVAS.COM

Sugar Face Polish as an exfoli-ant, then Ren’s F10 Enzymatic which is better than getting a micorderm. Followed up with Ren’s Multi-Mineral Pore Mi-nimising Detox Mask. It takes half an hour and my skin ends up glowing and hydrated.

WHAT IS YOUR PERSONAL SKINCARE RE#GIME?

Sjal Kura my abso-

lute favorite moisturizer. It’s a treat to put on at the end of each day. Coola Suncreen, so important to use daily es-

pecially on your neck and hands. Skyn Iceland Icelandic relief eye cream, it’s so cooling great for morning eyes. Finally, Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector. I heart this. It’s amazing, light, and provides a great glow while evening my skin tone. DESCRIBE THE KISS AND MAKEUP CLIENT—WHAT KIND OF WOMAN IS SHE?

The woman who turns to Kiss & Makeup is discerning, has a great sense of self, is educated yet enjoys the fun and the frivolous, and knows her worth. WHAT ARE SOME WAYS YOU STAY UPDATED WITH THE LATEST MAKE#UP#TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS IN THE INDUSTRY AND WHAT ARE YOUR INSPIRATIONS FOR UPDATING STORE INVENTORIES? DO YOU PERSONALLY PICK ALL THE PRODUCTS OR DO YOU WORK ALONG#SIDE BUYERS?

I travel a lot, pore over magazines, websites, blogs and newspapers – it’s my favourite thing to do on a Sunday especially. I do all the buying on both the apothecary and apparel sides of the store. It’s the best part!

BEST BUYING TRIP STORY?

Ended up in a meeting in Paris for a new fra-

grance line which was set up by a friend. Didn’t know anything about the meeting except his name was Romano and it was a new hot line. During our meeting I asked:

“How did you get into this?” Romano “Well, it’s family thing.” “Really, your family name?”Romano “Ricci!”

“Oh, as in Nina Ricci!”It was amazing.

WHAT DISTINGUISHES KISS AND MAKEUP FROM OTHER BEAUTY BOUTIQUES AND EMPORIUMS SUCH AS SEPHORA? WHAT ARE SOME EX#CLUSIVE PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND SHOPPING EXPERIENCES THAT KISS AND MAKEUP CAN OFFER CLIENTS?

Kiss & Makeup is the exclusive Canadian retails for Sjal Skincare, plus we launched Vincent Longo, and Bond No. 9 here. We’re the only indepen-

dent boutique in Western Canada to carry Becca. I could go on. We attract talented women to work for us who are genuinely enthusiastic about shar-

ing beauty secrets with others. We offer exceed-

ingly personal service, and a well edited selection of favorite finds.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BEST#SELLING PRODUCTS AND WHAT NEW LINES ARE YOU PLANNING TO CARRY IN THE FUTURE?

We can’t say enough about Marini Lash, and sell a ton of Geisha Ink eyeliner – it’s the best smudge proof liquid liner. We love Bumble & Bumble Gentle and Super Rich shampoo and conditioner, The Laundress Wool and Cashmere Detergent, Lippmann Dark Side of the Moon Nail Polish. As for new lines, it’s a secret you’ll have to wait and see.

80 STYLECANVAS.COM

ANY PLANS FOR CREATING A KISS AND MAKEUP HOUSE BRAND?

It’s something that’s always been in the back of my mind. One day, perhaps.

WHAT IS THE KISS AND MAKEUP LOOK FOR FALL?

Leggings, boots, cashmere sweater, ban-

gles, and a Dace Rain Jacket, the quintes-

sential Chic West Van mom. PRODUCTS THAT ARE ALWAYS IN YOUR PURSE

Cargo Blue Ray Concealer, Sue Devitt Microquatic Eye, Lip and Cheek Primer, Fresh Supernova Mascara, Vincent Long Eyebrow Pencil, Becca Estella Nude Pip-

stick. WHOSE PERSONAL STYLE DO YOU MOST ADMIRE?

Nicole Richie. Her transformation into her personal style today is inspiring. She is effortlessly put together and so comfortable with her own unique style.

WHAT IS THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE RECEIVED AND FROM WHOM?

Always wash your hands and don’t touch your face (best way to stay healthy and avoid zits) . Thanks mom. WHAT IS ON YOUR F(W &$ WISHLIST THIS SEASON?

A boyfriend. Haha. WHAT IS YOUR DAILY ROUTINE?

It’s always changing. That is one of the reasons I love what I do. My days are al-ways varied and could consist of working in the store, training with vendors, mer-

chandizing with staff or perhaps an account-ing, banking, meeting filled day.

HOW DO YOU DE#STRESS?

Yoga. Love it. Quiets my over active brain and kicks my butt at the same time.

Little Jackie, Lady Gaga, Jay-Z and some 90’s R&B.

I’m looking forward to seeing what a lot of the contemporary women’s designers will be showing – Modern Amusement, Madison Marcus, and Barila are high on my list.

Balenciaga’s First bag or a classic Chanel clutch.

Amrit returned to Vancouver and launched Ishara design, a boutique graphic design com-pany that offered various design services including her signature fashion illustrations.

HOW DID YOU FIRST GET INTERESTED IN FASHION DESIGN?

L: I have always been interested in fashion design- started with my mom sewing all our costumes for us. M: I always loved fashion and clothing but I would say for me it was about three or four years ago, I was in school for makeup artistry and the only area that really jumped out at me was the fashion section when we were doing runway makeup and such. Around that time I kept imag-

ining items I would love to have, like little party dresses or I would go to a store and see some-

thing and wish it was another way, that was when I thought I may as well give it a chance.

WHAT ARE THE 5 MOST PLAYED SONGS ON YOUR IPOD?

L: Hmmm haven’t updated my iPod in forever, but usually I am listening to The Beatles, Mi-chael Bublé, and Chris Baker (www.myspace.com/bakermusicofficial)M: I love any Lykke Li she is one of my favorite artists, I also listen to a lot music from The Blow or Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Empire of the Sun, Chris Baker, and of course all the oldies, ALL of them!

WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION?

L: All things pretty! Inspiration is everywhere. I love the 50/60s for clothes, Alice and Wonder-

land, and Hitchcock movies.M: I think it’s really hard to pinpoint where in-

spiration is found, I find it all around, I wouldn’t say there is one or two things that I go to for constant inspiration, but I do love watching old movies for the clothing.

IF YOU COULD PICK ONE ICON TO WEAR YOUR CLOTHING

WHO WOULD THAT BE?

L: Marilyn Monroe she could retake that white dress picture with the fan in a party skirt!M: Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) when she was on Sex and the City, I would have loved to see what they would have done with a party skirt!

WHICH THREE DESIGNERS ARE YOU IN LOVE WITH?

L: Oscar De La Renta, Miu Miu, Philip LimMiu Miu, Stella McCartney, Giuseppe Zanotti

WHAT IS THE ONE THING IN YOUR CLOSET YOU COULDN’T LIVE WITHOUT?

L: A party skirt! The next thing would be my monogrammed Goyard tote that I use everyday.M: I think I have to say a Party Skirt too; I rarely leave the house without one on! That and a black Alexander Wang Baggy t-shirt, which is probably what I have on if I’m not in a Party Skirt!

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL STYLE?

L: Classic and chic, but I also like to have fun with fashion.M: Classic and girly with a little edge

JAYDIOHEADFirst off, I’m a huge fan. People are usually surprised that a fashion editor is into hiphop, but to quote Karl Lagerfeld, “Believe or not, I like rap!” Just to break stereotypes and to clue you in why a fashion magazine is interested in interviewing you.

I’m curious to hear what are your stereotypes and perspectives on fashion, and how fashion art and music come together?Well, first off, thank you Sandy for the kind words, and thanks for taking the time to interview me, I appreciate it. As far as fashion stereotypes go, there are definitely recurring looks and styles I see in New York. But really though, they aren’t stereotypes in a negative sense - its just a look, part of a culture and identity. For example, the skater scene has a look, the hipster scene and the people on Wall Street do too. As far as fashion, art, and music converging - it makes sense. Its all art, whether you wear it, look at it, or listen to it - the people creating these things are all artists in their own right, trying to express themselves.

How does it feel to be compared to other mash-up artists/producers such as Danger Mouse, Girltalk? Do you prefer that your fans viewed your work as distinct or are you honored to be categorized with some of your contemporaries?Ultimately, I appreciate any dialogue people have regarding my work - whether they love it or hate it. Being compared to Dangermouse and Girl Talk is definitely cool. I am more familiar with Dangermouse’s work - and I think he is an excel-lent producer. Although the Grey Album brought him a lot of attention, he didn’t let it define him - and has since done a lot of awesome work. I hope to do the same.

How did you get started in the music industry? Honestly, I am still getting started. Before do-ing Jaydiohead I was just working on beats and instrumental tracks, and doing some remixes of songs...and I am continuing to do this. I’m defi-nitely not established yet, but again I hope to continue making interesting music and progress-

88 STYLECANVAS.COM

ing towards that.

Not many people actually buy CDs these days; despite how much the industry rallies against it, it remains a fact. What is an artist’s perspective on illegal download-ing? What would your message to your fans be to stop music pirating?For me as an artist, I’ve never charged for any of the music I’ve released - so I encourage people to download and share my music. At this early stage, I want people to check out what I’m doing - I will figure out the money down the road.

Music pirating won’t stop - so there is no use trying to stop it. What is useful though, is using that energy to think of new ways to distribute your music and how to give people an incentive to buy your work. Radiohead’s “pay what you want” release of “In Rainbows” was a great and now classic ex-ample - that also brought them much publicity ($). Ultimately, if people like something - they will pay for it. Maybe not as many, and maybe not as much as the pre-MP3 days - but artists putting out quality music are still making a living selling that music and doing live shows. Yes, its a struggle, but its also an exciting time because there is so much change happening.

Are you based primarily in New York? Do you travel a lot to Europe/Asia for work?Yeah I live in Manhattan. I’ve never traveled to Europe or Asia for work - but I am going to London soon. I hope to check out the Dubstep scene which is native to London and hopefully see some street art.

You seem to do a lot of your own marketing and uti-lize a lot of your own social networking tools (Twit-ter, Facebook, MySpace, etc.) Do have a separate team/manager to help promote your work? If not, are you looking for some one or you like having

complete control over your image/do you find that it takes time away from focusing on your work?I do everything myself. Its not so much about having control over an image, but rather con-necting with people. I like to get feedback - and I think the only way to do that is to be actively involved. Especially with the Jaydiohead proj-ect - I am encouraging people to create videos (which I post on the Jaydiohead site). A few people made some cool videos already, you can see them @ http://jaydiohead.com/watch, I would

love for people to remix the tracks Ive made in some way. I’ve posted instrumentals of all the Jaydiohead tracks if anyone wants to use them somehow. The web allows such collaborative creativity, so I’m all for it.

Describe your personal dress sense.Thrift store chic.

What is the best advice you’ve received and from whom?Probably from my parents, who advised me to do what

makes me happy, rather than what makes me rich.

What is on your fall wishlist this season?I’m looking into some DJ equipment, specifically some CD turntables and a mixer. Pretty geeky - but I already have so many clothes I won’t allow myself anymore for a while.

How has your aesthetic vision evolved since you came up with your first mash-up album. I am still developing my sound. The whole idea with Jaydiohead was to combine disparate styles of music, and to try and make them sound natu-ral together. That was a challenge that interested me.

My next project is a mashup/remix album I did

using the Beastie Boys. Its called “Doublecheck Your Head.” I made it in support of the Beastie’s recent reissue of their 1992 classic “Check Your Head” record. The concept was to mash up in-strumental tracks with rap vocals - with all of the source material coming from Check Your Head. Beastie Boys fans will recognize the altered song titles and will be able to hear what songs were mixed together. I think it will appeal to anyone who loves hip-hop though. Its definitely got some electro/techno/and a little reggae/dub influence too...at least I think. I love it, and am excited about it. It has 7 tracks total.

You can listen or download the whole project for free at http://www.DoublecheckYourHead.com

How do you de-stress?I am addicted to the tv show Lost. My buddy at work hooked me up with all the episodes, so my girlfriend and I watch like 5 in a row...We are actually all caught up now, and need to wait for the new season...so I need to get a stress ball or something.

Who/what is your muse?I’m inspired by anyone who is driven to accom-plish a goal. God, that sounds really cheesy...the first thing that popped into my head was the artist Invader who I mentioned previously. The guy installs these mosaics of space aliens all over the world...I mean literally all over the world - go to his site (http://www.space-invaders.com/som-inv.html) You have to be a little crazy to devote a big part of your life to doing that...and I think its inspiring and weird.

What can we expect from you in the future besides your upcoming album: more shows, targeting interna-tional markets, etc. What are you doing between the release of your September album and the next?I just want to stay inspired and creative. I don’t know what my next project will be. I would love to collaborate with another artist on something...I am open, waiting for the idea to find me. Oh yeah, I’m going to make my own site...usually I just make websites for the different projects I’ve

done - but I’m going to setup my own site that connects everything and also serves as a place to upload my music in addition to facebook, myspace, etc etc.

I want to develop a great DJ set, something unique...I would love to do something where a bunch of people in a club could participate in making a track live. Some sort of setup where you could invite a bunch of people up to the stage and almost collaborate live, people could come and go as they pleased. These are just random thoughts I’ve had. I think it would be cool.

What is the inspiration behind Jaydiohead?To make something natural out of two things that “shouldn’t” work together. I like the idea of bridging genres, even though even saying that seems kind of cliche, I can’t help it. I love the sound of Radiohead, and while I love Thom Yorke’s croon, I wanted to hear some of Jay-Z’s storytelling over the tracks.

Describe the process of putting together the album, how do you the copyright negotiations work and what does Jay-Z think of Jaydiohead?Sparing you the technical details, this is the basic method I use:First I determine the tempo of the Radiohead music and the Jay-Z vocals, this helps me nar-row down my selection of what will sound natural together. Once I make the pairing, I edit the Radiohead song into dozens of chunks. Next I put the Jay-Z vocals into my sequencer. Then, I begin restructuring the Radiohead song by moving the different chunks around. Once I have a skelton - I add my own drums, effects, synthesizers, etc. I also do effects, and break-downs on Jay-Z’s lyrics. I usually make the intro last. I made Jaydiohead in FL Studio (the name of the digital audio workstation I use.)

This isn’t a fool-proof method...I had a few Jaydiohead songs that definitely didn’t work so I had to scrap them.

Q & A

I didn’t go through any copyright stuff for Jaydiohead. I just made it and put it out there. I wasn’t too concerned - considering there are so many mash-ups now. 2009 is a different time than 2004 when the Grey Album came out. La-bels have a lot more to worry about than some-one releasing a mashup album (especially since it helps their sales).

How do you think your fans primarily enjoy your music: on their iPods while commuting, at clubs, at parties, chilling at a friend’s place.Since the project relies so heavily on the inter-net to reach people, I imagine a lot of people downloaded it and put it straight to their iPod. I keep waiting to hear Jaydiohead out of a car in NY - but it hasn’t happened yet.

Also, some people are enjoying the original Jaydiohead album on vinyl...Someone pressed up a ton of them and are selling them to re-cord stores all over the world. Although I’m not thrilled that someone is profiting from the project, ultimately I’m glad that people like it enough to buy the record and add it to their collection. I actually found the record in Brook-lyn at a store called Halcyon. It was up on the wall as their “hip-hop pick of the week” which was awesome. I ended up buying a copy, which was weird to buy what I originally made in my apartment.

New York is my favorite city in the whole world. It’s almost a cliché being inspired by the City—but there’s so much raw energy there, one cannot help but be inspired. How are you inspired by New York City, and how does living there challenge you and shape your music.John Lennon answered this question well...he said “...Everybody heads toward the cen-ter, that’s why I’m here now. I’m here just to breathe it. It might be dying and there might be a lot of dirt in the air that you breathe, but this is where it’s happening.”

How do you seek to grow and improve as a pro-

ducer?I want to collaborate with other artists. I love producing my own stuff, but it would be great to work with a band or a singer. There is a lot I want to learn. Its hard for me to an-swer this question...I want to just keep at it.

Write a personal message to your fans:Thank you for checking out my music. I want to you know that I appreciate it, and I hope I’ve earned your attention for the stuff I do in the future. If you ever have any ques-tions, comments, etc. - I’d love to hear from you. There are a myriad of ways to get in touch with me at the jaydiohead site. If you want to follow what I’m doing, follow me on twitter... http://twitter.com/maxtannone

Do you have a favorite track that you’ve pro-duced? What do you like about it.I really like track #6 on Doublecheck Your Head. The original source track is a lot dif-ferent than what I did with it, and was in a different time signature, so it was a challenge to use. I loved how it came out. Its one of my favorite tunes I’ve done. SANDY YOUNG
