EDITOR’S LETTER
Lazy
I
April
n italy we tell “Aprile dolce dormire”, It’s a saying to tell that when spring comes we all have a lazy period where your only desire is to sleep all day. It is true and this is why I think about the beginning of the season to a period where take care about ourselves, start a good diet, try new body products, everything to help us to emerge from the winter lethargy. So let’s see some advices in our beauty article, and don’t miss Accessories and Art columns to see top places to visit this month and which bag bring absolutely with you. Talking about beauty, I need to tell you that in this issue we interviewed a special person, a top model who tells us about his life out of high fashion. After working with anyone, from Steven Meisel to the Acqua di Giò campaign for Armani, Simon Nessman has embarked on a path that really does him honor. Read more at page 90.

Editor’s letter
THE IT STREET STYLE STYLE TREND SO FAR! We take inspiration from people we look up to, whether that person is an influencer, celebrity or even your next door neighbour. But keeping up to date with the IT trends of the moment can be hard, especially when style is constantly changing. One minute we are rocking polka dots and stripes, the next we are dressed head to toe in pink. Give us a walk in wardrobe and we are ready to rock any trend given. But how can we seperate the best from them all? Were you all for the oversized suits? Or were you more of a person that fancied the fringe and all things feminine and chic?
article by Jordan Ellen Wood (continue to page 21)
Suited and Booted I like to thank Coco Chanel for channeling the trouser and suits for women. If it weren’t for the designer, then would we even have a suited and booted style? Would we be seeing Aimee Song and Negin Mershali walking the streets in the gender neutral trend? No! Suits don’t have to be tailored to look like you work in the office. You can adapt the trend to any style that suits you. Go vibrant, go oversized… Even go for an eccentric pattern. The world is your oyster in fashion. If you are one to shine brighter than the rainbow, then going for bold block colours are a must. The two colour combos everyone is loving at the moment is pretty pink and raspberry red. And who would of thought those colours would ever go together… Try a mint green with a bright yellow. Believe in yourself to be daring. Going for an all in one print can bring depth to a look. Pair with a graphic tee to casualise the look or go for a pussy bow blouse to complete your outfit that one step more. Stripes? Checks? Floral? Suits have your needs covered. We all have those days where we have had one to many boxes of chocolates.. And a food baby likes to appear. Despite oversized clothes being your best friend in these circumstances, they also have another benefit… For making your wardrobe look bang on style of course!

What is your skin type? Editor’s letter Meet the products that will be your best friends
We wonder why our teenage years were full of blemishes and constant trips to the drugstore. You would of thought the endless pile of dirty make up wipes would of cleared our skin, but it only made our skin worse. We never took care of our skin and today our faces are paying the consequences. But maybe this was also down to us notknowing what our skin type was (or still is). We look up to our role models and admire their poreless complexions, wondering how they get their skin so flawless. For us on a budget, we can’t afford face creams that cost £500 like Kim Kardashian or go to get snake blood injected into our foreheads (yes that is an actual thing). First thing is first. What is our skin type and how can we help tame it? Say goodbye to flakey skin. See you later oily complexion. I have got the top beauty products that will become your best friend. by Jordan Ellen Wood
LATEST Beauty by Jordan Ellen Wood COMBINATION SKIN You can’t just have one skin type, you have to have two of them combined. Don’t feel so unlucky. There are some products to help you calm your combination oily, yet tight skin. Combination skin overproduces oil in some places and under-produces oil in others, giving you the most-frustrating sides of both worlds. Avoid harsh foaming cleansers as they will irritate the hell out of your dehydrated parts. It is a complete no no to rich and heavy moisturisers, as they will clog your T-zone, and clay masks will just make your dry patches as dry as the Sahara desert. The No.1 lightweight moisturiser for all over hydration, hands down has to be the Neutrogena brightening sunscreen moisturiser. Cetaphil is one to cure everything as the daily face cleanser is great to help get rid of the dirt whilst nourishing.
OILY SKIN I fall under this category unfortunately and seems like no matter what drugstore product I used, the oil kept coming through. If you have skin that has a shine to it, then you are more likely to fall under the oily skin category. Oily skin is the exact opposite to dry, as in it overproduces the natural oil of sebum. Despite the advantage of fewer forehead wrinkles (who needs botox?), the negative side to it is the oily reflection your skin gives off. The oil can be a big contributor to acne and clog pore, which only means taking more consideration to cleaning your skin. You should opt for water-based products, mattifying powders, and, if necessary, anti-acne treatments. Avoid the heavy facial oils, thick creams and harsh scrubs. We want to prevent the oil, not make it worse. One of the best water based products online has to be the Snail Bee Essence. The light product is great when applying before your moisturiser. The moisturiser I live by is Clinique. The moisturizer is super light, but gives you the nourishment you need.
NORMAL SKIN
DRY SKIN
If you fall under the normal skin category, then
Is your skin tight, flaky and uncomfortable? You have dry skin. To have dry skin, it means your skin doesn’t produce enough natural oil. The natural oil that is sebum, helps to keep your skin moisturised and supple. When you don’t produce a lot of this, your skin can get tight and flaky, which just makes it uncomfortable. It doesn’t mean you will be leaving a trail of dry skin around anytime soon. Using the right products can result in helping keeping the lubrication you have but adding more oils and moisture. DON’T use foaming cleansers or face masks with harsh ingredients such as charcoal and clay. They will strip your natural oils even more (and we don’t want that). And if you have any products that contain alcohol, then BIN IT! Chuck it out and never let it touch your skin again. It will inflame your skin even more and we want to get rid of the irritation, not make it worse. Invest in the Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser. The creamy gel formula helps to condition your skin leaving it soft and gorgeous. Using this before a cream will clear out those dirty pores The right cream to go for is something that is rich full of nourishment like Cetaphil cream. And rumour has it, facial oils are perfect for those dry patches. Rich facial oils like Russell Organics Camellia Oil are great before you go to bed when massaging over your moisturizer at night.
well done! We are all very jealous of you. You have skin that is comfortable and not one bit greasy… The complexion of a supermodel. But even if you have normal skin, there are still a few products you should avoid… Harsh cleansers, excessively dry products and scrubs. All should have a red cross through them. To prevent dark spots and dullness, then go for all Nip & Fab products. They do everything we want them to do and your collection with them will only get bigger after the first buy.

Simon Nessman From being one of the highest paid male models and shooting for Armani Aqua Di Gio, to now being a director for an not-for-profit organisation, Simon Nessman knew his soft spot for nature would have an economical impact on the environment for the great. His organisation Cedar Coast Field Station is dedicated to ecologically grounded research and education in Clayoquot Sound. As Nessman models on the sideline, his sole focus is on creating a visual interpretation for the organisation he is building up. After interviewing Simon, I can already see a big future for the organisation. He won’t be just known for his handsome looks anymore‌ by Jordan Ellen Wood

LATEST Accessories
by Rebecca Rhys-Evans
HATS - GO BIG OR GO HOME According to French designer Jacquemus, it’s a case of the bigger the better when it comes to hats. Both he and Missoni sent maximalist woven hats down the runway that will throw some serious shade. If you’re looking for something lesser known, try Barcelona-based brand Elliurpi, whose vintage-inspired straw styles come with black silk ribbon ties for around the chin and are absolutely adorable.
SUNGLASSES - TAKE SHADE We may have moved on from millennial pink on our Instagram (or maybe we haven’t) but it hasn’t left our eyewear just yet. Rose tinted lenses have been seen in seventies style from Gucci and Acne Studios, whereas Louis Vuitton, Ashley Williams and Miu Miu are hailing back to the nineties with their Matrixstyle small rectangular lenses. We can’t decide which we like more so we’ll have to invest in both, oops!
JEWELLERY - STRIKE GOLD When it comes to earrings, bangles, pendants - whatever, whether you like ‘em large or fine, go for gold when it comes to jewellery this season. Think sun-soaked skin, silk headwear and a bold lip – wearing gold jewels just gives that extra glow that summer skin yearns for. Danish designer Orit Elhanati brings her Middle Eastern heritage to life in her designs, and is a firm favourite amongst the most stylish in Scandinavia. Another trend not to be missed is fine line face drawings on jewels – available everywhere from Mango to the ever-cool Elipsee – we’re seeing Matisse-style line drawings of women hanging from ears everywhere!
BAGS - TO HAVE AND TO HOLD Although on the hat front we’re saying the bigger the better, bags this season are much more minimal. Clean lines, simple silhouettes and buttery soft leathers from the likes of Danse Lente, Wandler and Carolina Santo Domingo are coming in neutral and paler pastel shades. Breakthrough London brand, Staud, have bridged the gap between the ever-popular Mansur Gavriel bucket bags and the woven trend nobody can seem to miss, with a nautical- inspired rope weave over its Moreau macramé bag. Also taking miniature form for SS18, Simon Miller’s teeny tiny Bonsai bucket bags aren’t exactly practical, but their acrylic hooped handles in assorted tortoise shell shades have made them top of our wish list. If you’re a love of tortoise shell or a bag with a hard exterior shell, Cult Gaia have updated their Ark model with an array of brown, black, orange and pink shaded styles that are simply to die for.
