When I say fun, I’m taking about time spent catching up with Blush magazine’s Editor in Chief, Vicky Tensuan. The last 48 that I’ve had, however, has been filled to the brim with good old fashioned fun that the lack of sleep and dead tired feet are all but small prices to pay. Watch out for my upcoming entries where I’ll be posting behind-the-scenes photos (Chel retouching Chris Evans, I love)!Ī whole lot can happen in two days. This is one book you simply MUST have! The Beauty Book will be released on 14 Nov. I am beyond proud of what Chechel and Darren has accomplished with The Beauty Book (for brain cancer).

Seeing a project come into its full being brings shivers. He had in his hand a copy of the book that I once used to hear about only in emails or chat convos. I found myself listening to Justin Timberlake promote the book on The Ellen Degeneres Show as I took a sip of my coffee. I am beyond thrilled by what Chel has thus far accomplished since she moved to LA! You go, scatts!!!įast-forward to this yesterday morning.

It was also through this project that Chechel had managed to work alongside some of Hollywood’s movie and TV stars to include Stephen Moyer (of True Blood), Chris Evans and Hilary Duff (who has since then requested Chel to do makeup for her on succeeding shoots). The wonders of technology!Ĭhel further explained that this project was aimed at giving brain cancer a voice by collaborating with the entertainment industry’s biggest names–Scarlet Johannson (on the cover), Jessica Alba, Selma Blair, Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Chris Hemsworth, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, Hugh Jackman, Eva Longoria, Kim Kardashian, Leighton Meester, Ed Westwick and many more!
This was over a year ago when I was all the way in Paris and staying in touch with Chechel via Whatsapp and Google Talk. I remember hearing about The Beauty Book from close friend Chechel Joson who was doing makeup for a coffee table book that Aussie photographer, Darren Tieste, was in the process of putting together. There are too many designers who in a bad state, who are sick, who feel obligated to take drugs. It’s inconceivable to me that someone creative can have a new idea every two months… Something has to change. I didn’t think I was going to become a designer.”Īlaia says: “Today I believe that designers are asked to do too much, too many collections. But I wanted to come to Paris to be in Paris. To find this piece of style heaven, you’ll have to move out of the usual Ave Montaigne grandeur and engage in a more subdued yet hip reality. Much like the Margiela shop, finding the Alaia atelier is a pilgrimage of sorts. Simply adore this structural shoe which is very much reflective of the bondage aesthetics of Alaia.Įnter the world of Alaia in The Marais district, Paris, France. Several seasons back, everyone at the Paris shows were spotted carrying the perforated leather tote from Alaia. He does, however, admit that these pieces have nonetheless garnered significant sales. The Tunisian designer believes in prioritizing his clients and pret-a-porter line.Īccessories at Alaia are works of art but the designer emphasizes that the focus remains on the apparel. Got to love his courage and distinct brand of brutal honesty! For someone as tiny as Alaia, his person and body of work is, ironically, much larger than life! Take a look.Īlaia photographed by Patrick Demarchelier Everyone has their metier and should stick to their metier.” And while Alaia certainly appreciates good press, he insists that “There are too many editors who give their advice to fashion houses. By this, I am referring to the fact that he does not follow the seasonal fashion schedule like most designers who work for labels under powerful luxury conglomerates do. For one, he is a firm believer in complete creative freedom. Hailed as the undisputed “king of cling,” Alaia is nothing like your quintessential fashion designer. But in Paris-based Azzedine Alaia’s world, the merciless, skin-clinging creations he has churned out over the years, have become a claim to fashion fame. In general, the word “clingy” connotes something that is less-than-ideal.
