Letter from the Editor

H

ere at The Current Quarterly, we are always trying to add value for our readers, as well as those who support the magazine by advertising with us.

This past summer we launched our website TheCurrentQuarterly.com that houses our blog, as well as pictures from anyone’s Instagram feed who references #thecurrentquarterly. We also launched our Tumblr page (thecurrentquarterlyblog) with the intention of sharing fashion tips, tricks and inspirations. Additionally, we have increased our presence on Facebook (‘like’ us at facebook. com/thecurrentquarterly) in order to share our advertisers’ events, and cool local fashion news and finds.

Our goal is (as always) to make it easier for people to support local businesses that add value to Cape Cod, simply by opening their doors and adding to our community character every day.

Dress (and Shop!) Local,

Runway Rundown

Neckline: Turtleneck

Turtlenecks certainly aren’t new to the fashion world, but who says you can’t turn back to the classics for some inspiration this season?

Ribbed, slouchy, fitted, cropped - there are countless options to choose from when it comes to these high-necked tops. Wear a turtleneck under a dress for a peekaboo effect or even under a dramatic coat for a look that looks fresh off the runway. From philosophers to housewives, turtlenecks have been rocked throughout fashion history and this upcoming autumn, these traditional wardrobe staples are ready to be appreciated once again.

Print: Houndstooth

Houndstooth is one of those simply timeless prints that designers constantly re-visit. Seen on runways all over the globe, it is prominent this season. It has been even more prominent for this upcoming season and seen on runways all over the globe. This crisp print can look modern and edgy, or timeless and classic, it all depends on the way styled.

Due to its graphic and statement-making nature, houndstooth is great to pair with some neutral basics. It has been spotted in subtle touches like skinny belts or in bold statement coats that are guaranteed to turn some heads and add some flair for this upcoming season.

Hemline: Wide Leg

For this fall, women all over are retiring their skinny jeans and heading into wide leg territory! Wide leg trousers are a perfect sophisticated look that carries an aura of nonchalant. The over-sized aesthetic is intriguing and effortless and will make anyone look like a Parisian fashionista.

Tuck a plain white tee into these trousers to instantly appear cool and casual. If you want to take your look out to nighttime, throw on some heels and grab a dressy blazer to take on the night.

Material: Chunky Knit

As we enter the chillier seasons, layering is key to keeping warm on those crisp autumn days. So embrace the sweater weather and grab some chunky knit pieces that can be anything from buildable basics to statement sweaters. Chunky knits are the cuddliest of pieces that will keep you toasty, yet fashionable! An oversized cardigan over a flirty dress plays off of the ‘Grandpa Chic’ trend and will keep you warm, but still cute. Pair a long chunky pullover with some thick leggings to be cozy and representing comfortable dressing at its best.

Current Beauty Beauty Bits

Tips, tricks, advice and adages for having fun with your hair and makeup

by Emma Childs • Give your hair a break! Let it air dry and take a break from the heat for this season.

• If your eyes are looking a little tired and red, apply some white or nude eyeliner to your inner corner for an instant pick-me up.

• For a quick and easy highlight, use a concealer one shade lighter than your skintone on the tops of your

cheekbones. This will catch the light and make you glow with some added definition.

• Big bold brows have been all the rage lately! So fill those babies in with a shade darker than normal to give them that trendy and statement making look.

• Check your products ingredients! Do some research and get to know the products you use every day and find out what is in them. Watch out for any harmful chemicals that have found their way into your daily routine.

• Is your hair looking drab and you feel as if you are running out of options? Scrounge in your purse for some bobby pins! These little handy dandy tools can also be pinned in graphic designs to innovate your look.

Pair three sets of two to create a chevron shape on the side of your head. Or take three and pin them parallel to your ear to add some sharp contrast.

• New season, new look; Mix it up this fall and try something new. Winged liner, berry lips, or bare faced, the options are endless and it’s all up to you!

ichard Avedon was an American fashion and portrait photographer

who photographed for publications such

as Harper’s Bizarre and Vogue, as well as subjects such as Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Diane Keaton in the second half of the twentieth century. Avedon created his own style of fashion photography – minimalist, soft light, few props, with a white background – always trying to capture the soul and personality of his subject. Avedon was also known to show his models full of emotion, smiling, laughing, and, many times, in action which was revolutionary at the time.

For our “Vintage Inspired” fall photo shoot, we enlisted local photographer Rebecca Brown to shoot our model, Sarah Frazier, in Avedon’s style. Frazier donned clothing from local boutiques whose designs were inspired by vintage styles.

Style Profile

Shawn Vecchione

arnstable native Shawn Vecchione has made a name for himself on Cape Cod as a surfer and a surfboard designer, and now he is trying his hand as a clothing designer. Drawing on his experience as a professional surfer and snow boarder, as well as one of the original owners of the Boarding House Surf Shop in Hyannis, Vecchione has designed a pair of fleece-lined jeans meant to make the wearer look good and stay warm post-session while surfing through New England winters.

CQ: When did the idea (and the name) for the NorEaster Jeans come to you?

SV: The idea came to me when my partner Mike Marks and I were in his office talking about what it takes to be a winter surfer in New England. I told him my flannel-lined jeans, even though they are pretty ugly looking, are essential for checking the waves when the temps are below freezing.

They are also easier to get on than pulling on long underwear when wet after just getting out of the

water. So we took it to the next level of a warmer, more flexible, stylish jean.

The name came from the obvious; we wear these jeans during NorEaster season... bitter cold winter.

CQ: Some people might question a surfboard craftsman designing a pair of jeans what would you say to those people?

SV: Yes I design surfboards, but I'm also the guy that surfs all winter long in below freezing conditions. I don't miss a swell come winter. Being an avid surfer in the winter, you need to have the right gear. These jeans are a necessity for a cold water surfer.

CQ: What makes these jeans special?

SV: What makes these jeans special is that not only are they American made and eco friendly, but they are stylish and not just a work jean. They wear well, are unrestrictive and are extremely comfortable.

CQ: Can you explain the design process for the jeans - start to finish?

SV: The design of this jean was a collaborative effort of the NESurf group. Everyone gave input on the style and look of the jean.

41

Material and production were also important to us. We chose a denim from South Carolina that has part recycled elastane to give the denim stretch, and a polar fleece that is made here in Massachusetts with around 20 recycled water bottles per jean. The jeans are sewn in LA. CQ: Who would you consider the NorEaster customer?

SV: These jeans are designed by surfers not just for surfers. They are designed for people who want to be outdoors, warm and comfortable in the coldest climates. They are for people who care where their jeans are made and what materials are used.

CQ: Where can you find the jeans locally?

SV: You can find these jeans at Chatham Clothing Bar [in Chatham], Mass Bay Company [Hyannis], Sick Day [Wellfleet], and my shop Vec Surfboards [Orleans]. You can also find them online at NESurf.com.

CQ: How would you describe Cape Cod style?

SV: Cape Cod style has variety. It depends on what area of the Cape you go to. I feel it has a bit of a preppy vibe but is still very casual and comfortable. These jeans were made to appeal to any style.
