FAVET

from the editor More and more men are now paying close attention to the way they look.

Now, I’m not saying men didn’t care about their appearance before. Men have always cared. They simply weren’t as open about their beauty regimes as they are today.

If we take a look back at the 70s, men in magazines, TV and film oozed sex and masculinity. Men embraced their body hair, and were considered to be very sexy while doing so.

Men of this era were not shy to market their goods; they wore body-hugging shirts, fitted pants and (let’s not forget) short shorts. Even though they made very calculated choices to look this way, they certainly didn’t make it part of their regular conversation as women have been known to do.

It was only until the metrosexual ‘movement’ that the world became aware of the large number of males who were talking about taking care of their physical appearance openly.

As we became more comfortable with our sexuality and sexual orientation, the closer we paid attention to the way we look and took notes on how we could look our best. Be it for confidence, self-esteem or simply to get attention from a potential mate, it’s about time.

In the animal kingdom, the males are considered to be the more visually appealing of the species.

Take the peacock for instance. Its majestic, colourful feather display allows him to parade around proudly, with the hope that his appearance will allow him to win the mating game.

Recently, a new buzzword was created to describe the next level of the metrosexual. Meet the ‘Spornosexual’. If you’re a male who is unapologetically open, proud and confident to show off your body and good looks, this is you.

You only need to take a peek at Facebook or Instagram feeds to find a sea of very attractive men willing to show off their hard work.

Whatever the reasons behind it, I’m delighted that men have found whatever they needed to be okay with being open to share it all. More importantly, I’m proud to embrace this new era in faveMEN magazine.

What better time of year to show off those assets?

Cheers to you, the boys of summer!

D

eep in the St. Lawrence Market, down a charming side street lined with blossoming flowerpots and patio restaurants, there looms a starkly modern high-rise condo building. Directly adjacent is a construction site, with cranes lifting materials and workmen chiseling cement. The booming sounds of the ongoing construction seem antithetical to the peaceful environment, yet together, they fit the subject of this feature perfectly.

Christopher Bates, a menswear designer who has quickly conquered the Toronto market since he launched his namesake label in 2008, works and lives in the above-mentioned condo building. His designs are traditional, with a subtle European flair, just like the neighbourhood he is based in. However, the lens through which he views the world is refreshingly modern; reminiscent of the excitement a new construction site offers.

Bates always knew he needed to work in a creative field, and when he decided that fashion was the industry for him, he hopped on a jet to where it all began. “The legacy of fashion in Italy, and specifically in Milan, was something I gravitated towards.” he said. The young Bates signed up for design school at the legendary Instituto Marangoni in Milan, where he learned the dos and don’ts of design.

“It was a very reputable school and offered the type of program I was looking for, so that was my first and only choice for school.”

While North America is fast and of-the-future, Bates fell in love with the elegance and charm of Europe.

His goal is to bridge the gap between the two markets, and offer Canadians something special. “In Europe [men] dress up more, for sure. It’s more innate and ingrained in their culture,” he explained. While here, he said, it’s quite unique for a guy to take an interest in fashion. “It’s a young and small market here in general.”

“I do like to dress up even for my day

off,” he said, in contrast with some who walk around town dressed in their pyjamas. “In Europe they’d be ostracised,” he said laughingly, while seated in his apartment comfortably in a rose-hued button-up shirt and fuchsia-coloured socks peaking from under his sleek grey trousers “When they leave the house they put an effort into how they look. It’s really nice, and everyone appreciates it there. I find it stimulating.”

After Bates expands his brand in Canada, his intention is to grow his reach to an international level. “Canada is an important market for me right now, but as I expand, my attention will be all over.” While Bates’ intention is to bring European style to the North American market, he understands that change always needs to occur slowly and softly. “In Canada, you have two things working against you: conservative and conformist cultures. People don’t like to step too far out of their comfort zones and they won’t want to go against the grain,” he explained. “I’d like to make something more avant-garde and forward, but I don’t have the clientele to pull that off yet.”

Multimedia and video production have proven themselves to be the future of promotional imagery, so it is only fitting that Bates is ahead of the curve and already has three short fashion films viewable on his website.

As the producer, writer, contributing director and even occasional actor, Bates is extremely involved in the process. “It’s really just storytelling and world-building,” he said. “It’s like breathing life into my brand.”

Fashion films have become so popular, and it seems like the logical next step in the evolution for fashion imagery, which started with illustrations and then continued to photography. “It’s more engaging,” Bates expressed. “You have motion and sound and strong visuals, so it’s really a comprehensive experience.”

The subject matter varies in Bates’ films, but they all capture the essence of the brand. Romance has made

an appearance several times, and is a central theme in fashion, according to the designer. “I mean, people dress to impress,” said Bates, “they want to feel good and confidant. That is definitely a story I like to tell with my clothes.”

Fast cars and urban cityscapes also contribute to the tone of luxury in the videos.

Christopher Bates, the brand, is quintessentially urban. It caters to a man on the move who is successful and thriving. “[My brand is] very urban, modern and contemporary, so the [city] environment is perfect,” said Bates on being based in Toronto.

“It’s a very multicultural city, which is also very interesting. You have every culture, language, art and food.”

While the multiculturalism of Canada may leave some confused about it’s identity, Bates sees it as purely an advantage. “It’s a nice place to be from,” he said. “We are regarded as kind, welcoming and peaceful people, and those are things I really appreciate about Canada.” Bates also believes that as a new and young country, we have the opportunity to write our own story. “Being Canadian, there are not a lot of preconceived notions about who we are, what we can do and who we can be,” he affirmed.

Canada is also unique in the fact that it does not necessarily identify itself with one ethnicity. “It’s very modern,” Bates said enthusiastically. “It’s great. I don’t think people should be identified by anything and they should just be regarded as individuals.” The open-minded designer believes in nurture rather than nature, and thinks that we are all able to build our own identities. “From day one I’ve been working on designing my own life. How do I want to live?

What would make me happy? Then I work towards that. I practice it and live it.”

Some designers gravitate towards womenswear due to its infinite possibilities. The woman’s body is a blank canvas, and silhouettes are so diverse.

FAVE Skirts, blouses, dresses, pants and everything in between are options, while for a menswear designer the silhouette is more streamlined and straightforward. “I guess womenswear is more fun in the sense that you have more options,” mused Bates, “but I really enjoy getting the menswear pieces right.” Each season the silhouettes are similar, but Bates adds unique detailing or different colouring and textiles to create something different. “It’s not radically new, but still new and fresh to me.”

Rather than show a certain look in one collection, and move on to something new for the next, Bates strives to perfect each piece year after year. “If you can perfect the sports jacket, then you deserve an award,” he said passionately. “It’s a very difficult piece to master. Every season my goal is to get better and better with my sports jackets and my tuxedos because there’s where I’m able to have fun.” The amount of thought and purpose that goes into each seam and stitch is inspiring.

We may be what we eat, but Christopher Bates is truly what he makes.

The precise tailoring and clean lines so apparent in his design aesthetic directly translate into the way he lives his life. “That is me, and who I am, and how I like to live,” he said.

“That is actually a very astute observation, and I’ve never thought of that before,” said Bates pensively. “I am very organized and disciplined, so I suppose that transfers into my design aesthetic.”

The Christopher Bates team consists of many branched-off parties, working from each member’s corner of the earth. Bates has business investors, sales agents, social media masters, and production and manufacturing gurus helping him build his successful line. “It’s all about teamwork,” said Bates. “But it’s lean and modern. You don’t need everybody in the same space in an office environment. I don’t think that’s really necessary anymore.”

The trick of the business, according to Bates, is to find a balance between the creative and the commercial. “I think [fashion] should lie squarely in the middle of that equation if you want to be successful,” he said.

“There’s times you may veer right or left, but overall your job as a designer is to balance it.” While the artistic aspect is the one that drew Bates into the industry in the first place, he recognizes that you still have to sell clothes.

In 2008, when Bates showed his first collection on Vancouver’s runways, it was different than what it is now. “I had this label in mind that was a little more high-end streetwear,” he explained. “Urban and youthful and badass, but also with some tailored elements there.” Unfortunately, the market didn’t welcome this innovative combination, and Bates found himself having to readjust his brand.

“I found there wasn’t a big market for the streetwear, but there was for the tailored stuff. That’s what I found was my strength, and I’ve since evolved the brand.”

The chicken or egg debate is a perfect metaphor for the fashion industry. While the designers set the trends and create the clothes for the customers to follow and wear, it is still up to the customers and the market which designers make it big. “You can’t dictate what people are going to wear and what it’s going to cost,” said Bates. The relationship between customer and designer is one you need to play around with, to find the right balance.

Bates infamously declared in a previous interview that he hadn’t owned a couch since 2006, and looking around his apartment, that is now confirmed. He explained that he would rather participate than watch.

“I put in a lot of hours [at work] and I’m here till 11:00 or 11:30 every night working,” he said. When Bates is not working, he’s either playing sports or out socializing. “That’s still how I live my life,” he affirmed.

Not only is he a brilliant storyteller, but Bates is also an avid reader. “I’ve read for 30 minutes every night for my whole life,” he declared. “It’s not only good for your mind and creativity, which I love, but it’s also an escape.” Currently, Bates’ mind escapes to the battlefields of the First World War in Joseph Boyden’s haunting first novel, Three Day Road. “It really is music. You absorb it without effort.

It just flows into you, and that’s very

unique,” Bates said of Boyden’s lyrical prose. “It really is enchanting. I’ll definitely share my opinions on social media so I can get as many people to read it as possible.”

Bates never reads a book twice, but he has broken this rule for one title he holds dear. In countless interviews, the designer listed Oscar Wilde’s famous character Dorian Gray as a source of inspiration. “There’s so much wit and humour and playful observation of life in Oscar Wilde’s work,” praised Bates. “[Wilde] was a very forwards thinker in a backwards, ancient-thinking time.”

The classic myth follows Gray, who, terrified of growing old, commissions a portrait of himself to be painted that would age instead of him. While his muse may have had a peculiarly unhealthy view on aging, Bates looks upon youth as something that can be healthily maintained. “I live every moment as full as I can,” explained Bates. “Eating well, exercising, getting enough sleep… And yeah, have fun, but in moderation. I’m here for a good time, but I also want to be around for a long time.”

The Christopher Bates line caters to middle-aged men with money “that are after something that’s stylish and a little bit different.” Bates describes his client as someone who “appreciates quality and understands design.” He lives and breathes his brand, wearing only his own clothes since the day he launched. “I’m the brand ambassador, so I’m always advertising my clothes.”

Bates feels strongly about the man he caters to. “It’s someone who wants to be a gentleman, and someone who strives to be like that. I think that’s what being a man is,” he clarified.

“That’s what men should strive to be. I think it’s someone who is career-oriented, well-cultured, educated, well-dressed and that takes care of themselves,” Bates continued. “I was raised with manners being really important, so that will be with me forever.” Christopher Bates not only wears his own brand, but he lives it and embodies it. All men can learn a little something from this gentleman.

LE A JAN DRO Q&A

By Alcides Munoz

FAVE In 2009, the name Alejandro could be heard in a song made famous by Lady Gaga. During this time, another Alejandro of equal irresistibility was becoming a household name in Spain.

of feedback do you get from this type of exposure?

I had the pleasure of asking Alejandro to share the exciting details about his experiences and upcoming projects.

AC: (Laughs) Google, Yahoo and all those websites are really important for a modeling or acting career. Nowadays, most of the photographers, clothing brands or studios have a website, so they publish the work right away.

Blogs and social media do exactly the same, but give more knowledge on the model/actor.

When you type my name in Google, you can find old pictures and new ones, and can see more or less what I have done before. In my case, I never got any jobs through the internet; I always get my jobs through the international agencies I work with or through my agent or manager. On the negative side, some sites out there use our pictures and images to promote their own interests, which is not always very nice.

FM: We love your name. Our readers are big fans, too. Please tell us a bit about your background and how growing up in Spain helped shape the Alejandro we know today.

FM: There’s always been pressure on women with regards to their physical appearance. Do you feel that it’s the same for men? If so, how do you deal with the pressure?

AC: First of all, thanks for giving me the opportunity to be part of your magazine. I was raised in Asturias, in the north of Spain. I had a happy childhood. My family has always been very important to me. I’m very grateful that they made me the person I am today. I was educated in a very religious atmosphere; a thing that I really appreciate now. My parents always gave me all I needed. Later on, when my father wasn’t with us anymore, my mom knew perfectly well how to raise me. I’m very proud of being Asturian and Spanish. I think my country has very beautiful landscapes, beaches and people.

It created some of the nicest memories from my childhood. The Alejandro you know today is just a normal guy who fought really hard to reach the goals he wanted, and is still working hard.

AC: Honestly, I think pressure on men is even harder. We have to be skinny, but in shape; we need muscles, but we have to fit in a size 48-50. To be ripped is much harder than being skinny. I think the pressure is also necessary.

Sometimes models complain because it’s hard to always be fit. Commercial models get much more money, so I think the effort has to reflect that. But sometimes complaining is easier.

Alejandro Corzo, international actor and model, had an early start in the industry as a teenager. His career continues to gain momentum with every moment spent in front of the camera.

There is something very special about Alejandro. Behind his eyes, you can see someone who is passionate and intriguing. That truth is most certainly brought out in his exceptional print work.

FM: Since we are talking about physical appearance, can you share your secret to staying in such great shape?

AC: Well, I always say, if you have fat in your body, it’s because you eat fat. You can’t expect a one million dollar body by eating the one dollar ‘McMenu’, right? I’m vegetarian. I only eat vegetables (mostly organic) and fish. I FM: When most of us want to know more about don’t drink gas beverages, and I don’t eat fast someone before meeting them, the first thing food. When I want a pizza, I make it myself. I we do is do a Google search. Now, a Google drink lots of healthy liquids throughout the day. image search is a whole different matter. When I also don’t smoke. I exercise six times a week we did an image search on you, you made us (aerobics and weights), and yes, I live on a blush, but we love it! How has this new era of constant diet. I don’t eat everything I want, but technology impacted your career? What kind I’m never hungry. I just eat healthier to be in balance. That makes me happy.

FAVE FM: Let’s talk about your favourite things. What are your absolute faves when it comes to fashion, products, models and celebrities? You name it!

AC: Absolutely, yes! When it comes to fashion, I’m very classic. Blazers are a must. Good shirts, nice jeans and a nice black suit are in my wardrobe. As for beauty products, I have tried so many different brands. The only one I use now is Shiseido Men. Their products are the best in the market. Since I started using Shiseido, I really see a big difference. My favorite model is David Gandy. He has the qualities I think a model should always have - an elegant, sexy and unique personality. I’m not really a follower of celebrities, but if I have to choose one, I would choose Isabel Preysler. I always liked the way she looks and the way she acts. My favourite movie is The Color Purple. My favourite book is La Noche Sonada by Maxim Huerta. My favourite places are Boracay Island (Philippines) and La Isla (a beach in Colunga, Asturias) FM: You have a pretty impressive career. You’ve made appearances in a slew of music videos from artists like Snoop Dogg and Lebanese Superstar Elissa, to name a few. How did this come about? Was it modeling spilling over into music videos, or was it through acting that you began to do music videos?

AC: (Laughs) Well, during that scene I was actually singing a Spanish song that I like a lot.

Singing was always a passion for me, but I’m still working on it slowly and carefully. I don’t want to start something if I don’t feel 100% ready. Who knows? Maybe in the future.

FM: When it comes to acting, how do you prepare for the roles that have such impact on us, the viewers? Is it different than preparing for a photo shoot?

AC: It’s completely different. Many people think that a model can be an actor. From my point of view, an actor needs a lot more preparation.

In every profession you need to be professional. I prepare myself by being much focused on my character. I study the personality of my role; how he acts, where is he from, the kind of education he has received, his culture, his friends, his work, how he thinks... I transform myself into a new person. For a photo shoot, I don’t really prepare myself. I just try to sleep a minimum of 8 hours to look good.

FM: Before I ask this last question, I just want to say that you are so fantastic with your fans.

One look at your social media and it’s very clear that you care and appreciate their support. I’m always intrigued with how celebrities manage these interactions. What’s the right amount?

How do they manage it the right way and give AC: I did the videos for Snoop Dogg and Elis- back at the same time? How do they deal with sa through my agency in Milan. Burcu Gunes’ tabloids and the fans that cross the line? How video was through my Turkish agency. My mod- do you keep it all in balance? eling agencies know that I have had acting lessons before, so they introduced me to different AC: I’m always in contact with my fans. I post clients. Every video was very nice and different, everyday on my Twitter, Instagram and fan and all of them became very successful. The page. Fans can contact me through those so‘Te3ebt Mennak’ video by Elissa is nominated cial networks. When the person is nice, I always for different awards (Murex D’or and a World try to reply. I receive a lot of paintings, poems Music Award). I have very nice memories from and nice comments every day. When I receive the video with Burcu Gunes (Unutma Beni cice- something very negative, I just block the person kleri). She is the nicest person in the world, and or I don’t reply. I guess I’m very lucky because a great singer. We are always in contact.

95% of the people are very nice to me, and I really appreciate that. I like social networks, but FM: Your music video with Elissa is our favou- I have to admit, I don’t like chatting. I don’t like rite so far. You played a very passionate char- looking at my phone for 24 hours. We lose so acter. In the early scenes of the video, you’re many things and emotions from our daily habperforming a song onstage. Is there a singing its just because we are more focused on the future for Alejandro Corzo? You were a natural phone, rather than enjoying what we are doing in the video. at the moment or the person we are with.

MUST-HAVES

By Harry Wicks

The sausages are burned on the BBQ, our skin is branded by tan lines and sunburns, and we are all craving a little of bit of sun, sea and sand. Summer is here! Throw away the heavy-knitted winter jumpers into the back of the wardrobe for more colourful and casual clothing. Here are some summer must-haves to make the most of the sunny season. Just don’t forget your sun cream.

1 Backpack Summer is the perfect time to go travelling from festivals to escapes on the beach.

With all that travelling to and from in the hot weather, a backpack is the perfect companion for slinging your shades and sun cream around. Backpacks are casual and come in all different prints and colours, so you’re sure to find one that suits you. This striped bag from Jack Wills has a nautical feel and comes with a handy zip pouch inside the main compartment in addition to the outside pocket.

1 2 Tie-dye and Dip-dye T-shirts Whether you love or loathe the tie-dye print, there is no denying its festival style that screams a summer vibe. This yellow and blue dip-dye shirt from Next mimics the colours of the beach. Perfect to wear casually in the day with a pair of jeans or shorts and flip flops.

FAVE 3 Print Power It’s not a surprise to see floral prints blooming into the scene in spring, but they have stayed for the summer in full force in just as many men’s fashions as well as the ladies. Hype, a brand found in most Topshop stores, has a range of bold floral designs including this flower power print. One way to enjoy the garden without the annoyance of hay fever!

3 4 White Footware With the sun shining, what better time to wear a crisp pair of white shoes?

Nike have white footwear nailed down from flip flops to trainers, so there is something suitable for all . A pair of white espadrilles on the beach will be comfortable and light to wear as well as complementing that sunkissed tan.

5 Battered and bleach denim Perfect for a festival, dark blue denim shades have been switched for bleach and battered blues. Almost as if your favourite pair of jeans have been washed ashore. Suitable for all the travelling and summer festivities, a grass stain here and there from frolicking with a summer romance only enhances this fun look!

6 Surfer style hair Let your hair down, literally! With the sun beating down on you, it can be tricky to stop your hair from sliding down your forehead, even when using your faithful hair gel.

Instead, let your hair be free with a tousled and beachy look by using sea-salt spray.

Effortless to use and adds instant texture to your hair. Use a couple of sprays, and for mega volume, blow-dry whilst hair is damp.

Even though this scrub was made for the face, it does wonders for your back. Exfoliating beads uses the pore-unclogging power of salicylic acid to deep-clean clogged pores. The scrub unclogs pores by penetrating deep down where blemishes start, and helps prevent future breakouts. Get ready for beautifully clear, smooth skin.

Dove Men+Care Deep Clean Body and Face Bar with Dove ¼ moisturizing cream and purifying micro grains provides a deep clean while fighting skin dryness.

It thoroughly cleanses and rinses off easily without leaving skin feeling dry and tight like regular soap does

NEUTROGENA® BODY CLEAR® Body Wash is a refreshing clean-rinsing body wash that cleanses acne-prone skin on your back, chest and shoulders. This effective, yet gentle skin care formula contains salicylic acid that penetrates deep down into pores, removing oils and impurities without overdrying or irritating your skin. The foaming lather rinses completely without pore-clogging residue, leaving your skin feeling clean.
