NEW YORK FASHION WEEK: MEN’S SPRING/SUMMER 2018 By: Iesha Coppin

Within the blink of an eye, New York Fashion Week-Men’s has come and gone yet again, leaving behind the lasting memories of New York City’s best dressed dapper dons. The four-day event brought together stylists, journalists, photographers, buyers, and all around creatives to celebrate the continuation of the ever-growing menswear sector within the fashion industry. Kicking off the bi-annual festivities was New York Men’s Day, held at the swanky downtown Dune Studios overlooking the Hudson River Way. The 12 designer collective was split into two segments— morning and evening— where everyone from seasoned veterans such as David Hart and Woodhouse to newbies R. Swiader, Heliot Emil, and Life in Perfect Disorder showcased their spring/summer ‘18 collections.

A new addition to NYMD this season was “Fashion in the Park” presented by PROJECT, where five designers— Michael Bastian, FAHERTY, M. Singer, WRK, and Thaddeus O’Neil— displayed their capsule collections along the outer courtyard of Dune Studios. Guests were treated to refreshments, board games, and that ever-so-perfectInstagram-able-setting with the Hudson River and the New York City skyline as their backdrop.

The week continued with fellow designers such as Matiere at Cadillac House, Willy Chavarria at The Eagle, Jahnkoy at Bergdorf Goodman, and Dim Mak’s Steve Akoi, bringing NYFWM to a close with an accompanied album release party and concert in the middle of SoHo, New York City. An outro to remember, New York Fashion Week-Men’s you didn’t disappoint!

Here are a few highlights to commemorate the week: PHOTOGRAPHER: DAN LECCA 14

RAINE MAGAZINE - VOLUME 30

IMAGES COURTESY OF MAIDEN NOIR

MAIDEN NOIR Nin Truong founded Maiden Noir in 2006 as a Seattle – Tokyo based brand. Heavily influenced by his background in art and architecture, Truong implements extreme attention to detail, starting with his textile selections of Japanese fabrics all the way through to the finished product. Maiden Noir prides itself on story-telling through style and form.

This season, Maiden Noir introduces its spring/summer ‘18 collection “RETURN TO STONE GARDEN.” Set in Northern California, the powerful collection proves as a testimony to the socio-political injustice of both the past and present. Stone Garden is a fictitious area idealized throughout a series of paintings by David Hockney showcasing the turbulent times of the late 1960s. Hockney, an English painter, printmaker, and photographer, is known as a contributor to the Pop Art movement during the 1960s. Hockney’s use of war protests, particularly the Vietnam War during the late sixties, and counterculture serve as an influential point of view throughout the collection. Hockney’s poolside culture and Westcoast lifestyle can be seen throughout the collection, creating a dynamic combination of vivid and vibrant colorways with a juxtaposition of muted military undertones that make a subtle reference to the Vietnam War.

A curated mixture of loungewear meeting a unified utilitarian outlook creates the perfect balance throughout this collection. Vibrant rayon stripes, tie-dyed camouflage, and oversized cotton and nylon overcoats perfectly encompass a Return to Stone Garden.

IMAGES COURTESY OF R. SWIADER

R. SWIADER Rafal Swiader founded R. Swiader based on the belief of a utilitarian lifestyle of uniformity that adheres to ease and comfort. Through its inclusion of art, fashion, and the people, R. Swiader is a brand “for the culture,” where classic lines and unexpected structure offers the “perfect uniform for a citizen of the world.”

Through his vision, Swiader transports us to Ancient Greece where a juxtaposition of ethereal fluidity meets the rawness grounded within the

heartbeat of New York City. A mixture and power play of delicate vs. gritty undertones were prominent throughout the collection. Models gathered in

clusters as you would a class photo adorned in a muted color palette that allowed one to focus on the graphic design and intricate structure. Swiader

worked with photographer Martyn Thomas on the abstract graphic design. One t-shirt in particular spoke out, “The God is in The Gaps”—referring to the celebration of imperfection. Overall, this SS18 collection consisting of linen overalls, dresses, short suits, co-ords, and sheer blouses stayed true to R. Swiader brand’s identity of simplicity and tranquility.

IMAGES COURTESY OF MATIERE

MATIERE Founded in 2013, by Henry Choi and Scot Shandalove MATIERE is a Los Angeles, California based design lab. Matiere, which means “material” or “subject matter” in French, prides itself on the integration of “form, function, and comfort” into a sleek and modern aesthetic. Matiere is known for its experimentation in textile selection, dying, and production treatments of product from knitting mills in Italy and Japan.

This season, Matiere brings forth its spring/summer ‘18 collection “Reflection.” Matiere took guests on an inner and outer voyage of their brand, reflecting on the core ethos and foundation. Their first runway show took place at the Cadillac House, where onlookers were greeted by three dancers clothed in Matiere designs. The dancers performed multiple varieties of interpretive dance before, during, and after models took to the runways. The collection was classic, yet remained true to Matiere’s aesthetic of modernity based around Athleisure and luxe loungewear. Reflective bomber jackets, Italian Viscose pullovers, Japanese high-shine anoraks, and water resistant outerwear and pants were stand out pieces. Silhouettes were a bit more voluminous, adding a level of shape and contrast not experienced in past seasons.

The reflective outlook within this collection of high-tech materials and eco-friendly fabrics, in addition to an all-around embrace to the technological advances the fashion industry has unleashed in recent years, creates an exciting sense of innovation and a thrilling look toward fashion’s future. “We will continue to push boundaries, moving the needle forward, designing and developing a future of technical sustainability.” A constant growth by reflection.

WILLY CHAVARRIA Amidst an industry highly dominated by a rigid supply and demand structure, the use of “fast fashion” perpetually comes to mind. To that point, Willy Chavarria moves in a different vein and has vowed to create an environment dedicated to art, style, music, and the craft of fashion. The New York City- based brand founded in 2005 conforms to no one and acts upon the notion of inclusivity through genderless garments. Their mission: “It’s much more about how you wear it than what it is you wear. But what we design enables you to look and be your best.”

This season Willy Chavarria transports us to SoCal with his spring/summer ‘18 collection “CRUISING.” Cruising portrays a romantic composition of sub-cultures, incorporating California Lowriders and the New York 80s leather scene. Lowriders date back to the 1920s when auto ownership skyrocketed in Southern California. But fastforward several decades during the 1950s and early ‘60s when young Chicanos added hydraulics, coining the car style “lowrider” that expressed the pride and playfulness of Mexican American culture. The peak of lowrider culture came about during the 1970s on Whittier Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. On the other side of the spectrum, the leather scene was used to occupy a visible part of gay culture. In the 1960s through the early 80s, men in leather caps and chaps could be seen strutting about The West Village, Christopher Street to be exact.

Upon arrival, guests were welcomed by two vintage lowrider Chevrolets in front of The Eagle, the last standing stalwarts multilevel gay leather bar which served as a perfect venue selection towards the collection. Of course, who else but the West Coast Don himself, Snoop Dog played in the background as guests were checked in. The ambiance of The Eagle was both enticing and intriguing, where the house DJ played what we would like to call the perfect rendition of foyer music consisting of beautiful interludes and instrumental compositions.

The mood quickly shifted to romantic throwbacks of Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, and Al Greene, just to name a few. A happy medium is created between the conversion of California meets New York depicting “beauty of nonparallel subcultures converging, creating a unified singularity.” The collection showcased drop-shoulder knitwear incorporating satin and woven twill paneling. Wide leg poplin trousers, culottes, and the paper bag silhouette prove prominent throughout the collection, as well as accents of tailored leather. Willy also collaborated with his childhood friend and artist, Brian Calvin to display pro-unity statement graphics along white denim.

PHOTOGRAPHER: DAN LECCA

DIM MAK The Los Angeles, California-based brand was founded in 2014 by Grammy nominated DJ and Music Executive Steve Aoki. The brand pays homage to indie rock sounds, skate culture, and all around risk-takers throughout the creative industries. Inspired by Aoki’s mantra “Do It Yourself...By Any Means Necessary,” the collection is a testimony of nonconformity, rebellion, individuality, and, above all else, energy!

This season Aoki brings us to the bustling streets of the concrete jungle, the epicenter of energetic influence, SoHo, New York City with his spring/ summer ‘18 collection “Paradise Found.” This collection is a call and response effort in regards to today’s global climate. The world’s current stance lies amongst perpetuating negativity i.e. socio-political turmoil: terrorism, war mongering, racism, and sexism. “What we all desire is a reprieve from the negativity infiltrating the air we breathe. ‘Paradise Found’ is a utopian thought, an imagined space that is inclusive of everyone who seeks refuge, who believes in love, and who hopes to find happiness once again.”

Aoki is known for his out of the box presentations, but this season he took his approach one step further by incorporating both a live runway show and album release of KOLONY in the heart of SoHo in collaboration with the BUILD series. The BUILD series is a cultural platform created to connect the most compelling and influential creators in the world with their fans. The live event was held at the BUILD studio, and streamed live on buildseries.com. Crowds packed the street in the sweltering heat to witness the series of events about to unfold. The live runway show quickly turned into a concert as special guests Bok Nero, Sonny Digital, Ayo & Teo, and Mase took the stage as models and made their way down the runway. A smooth sail and farewell to New York Fashion Week-Men’s – Spring/Summer ‘18.

THE MAKING OF SUCCESS

BY John Burke Photographer: Nina Duncan

RAINE MAGAZINE - VOLUME 30

Style expert and author George Brescia’s clients include Oscar, Emmy, and Tony winners, society folks, Wall Street guys, and soccer moms.

He’s become the go-to-guy for many celebrities who are eager for just the right look for a Broadway premiere, a red carpet interview, a press junket, or perhaps even a stroll up onstage to grab a Tony Award.

His story is the kid-who-made-good fantasy…. (With a lot of talent and hard work added in, of course!) He came from a big family, and had always been his family’s song and dance man, starting when he was four!

“My grandmother especially encouraged me to tell stories and sing for her friends, the next-door neighbors, even people on the city bus when she would take me shopping. I loved entertaining! Making folks smile! …and, of course, getting applause! I could see from the start that I could make people feel happy with my performing, and that I could actually change the energy in a room by doing what I loved. As I grew up, I was in school plays and then on to college, and I had a lot of success with my singing and dancing, training constantly. But I needed a job, and I was always drawn to fashion and the beauty of clothes, mostly from my Mom’s influence and her great taste. She insisted that my brother and I always be dressed perfectly even at a young age, and she had her own career in fashion at her own clothing store, The Glass Door in Connecticut. Everything that I first learned about style and fashion came from her. My Mom’s love and influence sits on my right shoulder everyday, and I am so grateful and honored that she’s mine.”

It was easy for George to get jobs during Summer vacations at stores around Hartford. He started as a promotional model featuring men’s fragrances, then, after graduating from college, went directly to Ralph Lauren in sales. After a few years of working his way up through the ranks at the Ralph Lauren Mansion on Madison Avenue, he was put in charge of special events and merchandising Women’s product in all the Polo stores nationwide.

George was promoted to travel the country doing “trunk shows” where he spoke and did presentations in front of hundreds of different customers each week, coast to coast, and then regular in-store seminars motivating and educating the sales teams on the new seasons’ products. Every time he returned to NY, he would be called to do promotional videos to be distributed to the stores. He got regular exposure to every branch of the business, all the big names both within the company and among their exclusive clientele, and to Ralph Lauren himself, and it influenced and enlarged his perspective on what fashion means and what it can actually accomplish in transforming a person’s outlook on the world and how they function in it.

He was performing in front of people and cameras constantly.

“Everything I do now, I learned the basics of at Polo.” George’s biggest break came about in 2010, when red carpet events began to take on a life of their own both in television and in the press. Magazines had been featuring red carpet spreads on celebrities as they arrived at the great award presentations, but those pages were tucked into the back with a jumble of

With the evolution of the internet, he was approached by Stage 17, an online digital-media company affiliated with Broadway producers that created webisodes for subscribers. It was the new broadcasting method done over the internet, and George was given the opportunity to create his own show, DRESS UP!, a docu-series where he styled celebrities in their opening night looks for Broadway premieres, press junkets, and red carpet galas; he became their on-air correspondent at every Broadway opening night and the Tony Awards. He’d be running from one couture showroom to another and then another and then off to Verdura on Fifth Avenue to pick up a quarter of a million dollars’ worth of Art Deco jewels.

With all that exposure, George’s styling career was on its way and the clients began to pour in; Tony winners and nominees like Victoria Clark, Shuler Hensley, Lea Salonga, Kate Baldwin, Marin Mazzie, Lauren Worsham, and Carolee Carmello. The men came too; Jonathan Groff, Bryce Pinkham, George Takei, Aaron Lazar, Jefferson Mays, Telly Leung. And the folks he interviewed on camera read like a who’s who of entertainment giants! Gloria Estefan, Debra Messing, Megan Hilty, Bernadette Peters, Sting, Dianne Wiest, Bryan Cranston, Crest Love, Fran Drescher, Kristin Chenoweth….the list goes on and on. Because of his wide exposure in the Broadway theatre community, he became a regular contributor to Playbill. com with his Red Carpet Best Dressed column.

George’s break-through in the publishing world was equally serendipitous. He managed through an accident to meet Jen Bergstrom, a publisher at Simon & Schuster, and right on the spot, he told her he’d like to write a book! She asked him what would it be. Without missing a beat, he said simply it would be a spiritual approach to dressing for your life-- a sort of Vogue-Magazine-Meets-The-Secret. He wanted people to know that clothes can serve as tools to enrich and expand their options, and that, although our culture would like to think that appearance doesn’t matter, (and that people should only care about their “insides”, not their “exteriors”), the truth is that personally and professionally, people make up their minds by what they see of another person, (and it’s a great deal!) within two minutes, and it can change the outcome of a job interview, an office conference, even a

George’s biggest break came about in 2010, when red carpet events began to take on a life of their own both in television and in the press. thumbnails and ten-word captions and credits! It all escalated when the red carpet was used on television as both a fashion runway and an interview-op.

The public began to really connect to the chance to see and hear everything from the stars before they walked into the “Big Event”.

Since he was known for doing speaking engagements, public appearances, trunk shows, and motivational seminars, George’s transition was easy. He began to appear on TV on NBC’s NY Live, on CBS’s “On The Couch”, on FOX’s “Good Day New York!”, as well as on the networks’ evening news shows for special fashion segments and commentaries. He became the NY 1 style commentator both for the big Fashion Weeks at Bryant Park and at the Tony Awards red carpet events.

first date. George’s title said it all: “Change Your Clothes! Change Your Life”--and the subtitle: “...because you can’t go naked!”. George summed up his philosophy, “We are forced societally to wear clothes, and they may as well serve us. Let your clothes tell the world what you want to say about yourself. Let your clothes truly reflect your interior… your dreams, your aspirations, your goals, and your intentions.”

Dressing unconsciously need not be an option anymore, and it doesn’t have to be intimidating, depressing, or expensive. George thinks of fashion as another form of entertainment…and enlightenment!!

George’s schedule has gotten crazy-exciting with multiple appearances on NBC’s TODAY Show opposite Matt Lauer, Kathie Lee Gifford, and Hoda Kotb. He has appeared regularly as a style expert on HSN’s THE LIST with Colleen Lopez, and travels the country doing in-store appearances and fashion segments on regional television including Los Angeles’ KTLA. His recent projects include being the brand ambassador for the Bo & Nic Company. He now numbers his styling clients from all over the country, and he’ll soon be announcing exciting new ventures for the Fall, including projects on television, internet, and radio. He can be found on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and on his website, GeorgeBrescia.com

What is the one styling tip that can turn anyone from drab to fab?

I would have to say having the best accessories! A great pair of statement earrings, a really cool necklace, and a fierce pair of shoes can make any outfit go from drab to fab. Accessories can make a simple outfit, like a pair of jeans and a T-shirt or even an amazing dress look cool on anyone.

In terms of clothes and choosing what to wear, what color makes the biggest impression and why?

Red! Power red, which just happens to be one of the big trends this fall, because it is such a rich and vibrant color. Red really gives off a message of confidence and self-assurance.

Whether you are giving a speech, in a job interview, on television, or in a meeting, red is a color of power, and people, in turn, will respond to you in that way.

I love it all, but I really love styling the everyday woman, because the moment she looks in the mirror and discovers who she really is,

What are the three biggest mistakes that people make when choosing their wardrobe?

I think the three biggest mistakes are when people choose something to wear because it is trending, although it may not look good on them, choosing colors you like, but that don’t look good on you, and having a closet full of all black or too much of the same thing.

What do you love most: Hosting TV such as HSN, dressing Broadway Celebrities, or styling the everyday woman? Explain why.

I love it all, but I really love styling the everyday woman, because the moment she looks in the mirror and discovers who she really is, is the most rewarding part of my job.

What inspires you as a creative?

Talent! Talent of any kind, whether it’s artistic, singing, dancing, acting…etc. Any kind of special talent I see from anyone is very inspiring. Raw talent moves me.

Looking back, what would you describe as the tipping point in your career?

The first time I was on television. I was doing a ‘Spring Must Have Items’ segment for NBC New York Live, and I looked around and saw all of the cameras and models, and I just remember thinking…whoa this is it.

What words of wisdom would you share with other inspiring creative entrepreneurs?

If you are truly doing what you love, and you’re thinking about what you can give versus what you can get, you will find that roadblocks won’t feel like roadblocks, they will feel like part of the journey to something you love. Every obstacle you encounter will become a fun challenge.

NEUROON:

THE BEST SLEEP YOU CAN GET The Neuroon is a revolutionary wearable device that combines advanced brain wave and pulse measurement technology with a comfortable sleeping

mask commonly used in air travel. Using built-in biometric sensors, the

Neuroon system analyzes the user’s sleep architecture, calculates a sleep

efficiency score, and offers optimization advice. In addition, the Neuroon mask uses Bright Light Therapy, a technology that can alleviate jet lag,

improve sleep efficiency, and help the user to fall asleep faster. The

Neuroon is a system comprised of three components: a comfortable mask

made of soft, hypoallergenic material, the Smart-pack, which contains the device’s sensors and electronics encased in medically certified silicone, and the Neuroon mobile app that controls the mask wirelessly using Bluetooth.

The Neuroon offers six key features that will help improve the quality of life of its users: Sleep Analytics is a core feature of the mask and offers the user the unique opportunity to thoroughly analyze their sleep. When the Neuroon connects to the app, it transmits a sleep report that details how long it took to fall asleep,

as well as the sleep duration and patterns. The mask then calculates the Sleep Score, a sleep rating based on the objective data measured by the device

and the subjective user’s experience while asleep. The data is collected with

three gold-coated electrodes that contact the skin on the user’s forehead. The Neuroon is the first advanced sleep sensor on the consumer market with this level of technology. The other currently available consumer sleep measurement

devices only measure the user’s movements (actigraphy) and pulse. The Neuroon, with its advanced sensors uses complete polysomnography, the gold standard for medical sleep studies.

Light Boost, or Bright Light Therapy, provides a burst of energy that

helps increase focus and reduce sleepiness by regulating the user’s melatonin

levels. The light source is located in the Smartpack and interacts directly with the user’s eyelids ensuring a comfortable and discreet light therapy during a typical 20-minute session.

Jet Lag Blocker helps combat the sleep disorders associated with

rapid time zone changes. After setting the travel destination in the mobile

app, the mask automatically fine-tunes the appropriate therapy and offers a number of recommendations to help the user optimize their circadian rhythm while traveling. For the best results users should start the therapy several days before traveling.

Neuroon Sunrise is an intelligent wake-up program. Using Bright

Light Therapy, the program uses light to initiate wakefulness at the correct

moment when the sleeper is in a light sleep phase. Normal alarm clocks often interrupt the sleeper in a deep sleep phase resulting in grogginess,

disorientation, and an unpleasant mood. With the Neuroon Sunrise, the user will awake feeling refreshed and alert and ready to start the day.

Personal Pause is an intelligent personalized nap program developed for the

Neuroon. The program prevents the user from entering the deepest sleep phases alleviating sleep inertia while maintaining all the benefits of a good nap. The mask and the app will plan ideal nap times based on the users historical data.

Biorhythm Adjuster is the last key feature that adjusts the user’s

sleep cycles to irregular sleep schedules. The program adapts the user’s circadian clock to changing wake up times and irregular lifestyles often

associated with shift work. It also supports the process of falling asleep, which can be disturbed by the artificial blue light emitted by electronic devices.

AHEAD:

SMART HELMET ACCESSORY Ahead is an attachable Bluetooth device that mounts to virtually any helmet to provide a safe, hands-free audio system to listen to music, make phone calls and follow GPS

navigation. With Ahead, wearers have the power to turn virtually any helmet into a smart helmet. The attachable Bluetooth device easily mounts to a user’s helmet. Using a special algorithm and two angled microphones, Ahead’s unique technology reduces wind

angled microphones are able to intake sound directly in front of the user’s mouth. One of the most unique features of Ahead are the vibrations emitted from the device which

clarify the sound quality that penetrates the helmet. Additionally, the device’s app allows users to customize the device’s buttons and enables features like push-to-talk.

With IP45 water and dust resistance, Ahead is safe to use in rain, snow and desert conditions. The rechargeable device also comes with a charging cable, has a three-day

standby battery and can last eight hours while on a phone call. Detachable for easy

charging or for transferring to other helmets, Ahead also comes with a second mount for at-home usage and offers an app that is compatible with Apple and Android devices.

Vacations can be tricky: It’s often an adventure to a new place where one expects to stay at a great hotel or inn that. But what if you’ve decided to take part in the share economy and book through Airbnb? The global hosting giant has turned the hospitality industry on its head, capitalizing on an age where personalized service ranks right up there with traditional, and where entrepreneurs—like the founders of Airbnb—have figured out that the next great business idea may require nothing more than a simple double take on an old one.

The relaxed nature of the Airbnb model though leaves the door open—quite literally—for error, read: lost keys or a potential lack of home security; no daily linen service or little soaps in the bathroom; disheveled, unattractive environs; or, especially, a lack of guidance when it comes to navigating a new destination.

This same line of thinking occurred to Gillian Harding. The Hamptons resident and style maven saw a dearth in the housing market three years ago when it came to luxury accommodations. After listing her own home on Airbnb and, soon thereafter, meeting the firm’s owners at a party in San Francisco, Harding had a thought: What if guests could check in with someone who took care of their every need? With that, Checkkin was born, a business that welcomes guests booking homes through Airbnb. She now takes on the task of listing a residence, creating their story on the Airbnb site, greeting clients, and looking after their every need.

Harding started her company where she resides—on the East End, one of the most sought-after vacation destinations around. The market is ready-made for the investment bankers, Wall Street executives, and the cadre of wealthy individuals she regularly attracts as clientele.

Checkkin also offers a concierge service, booking private planes, sea planes, or helicopters from Manhattan or LaGuardia and virtually any other need from a guest’s initial booking to their departure. Harding outfits each home with sumptuous white Frette bedding and beautiful candles and fragrances from Antica, and provides guests with a welcome gift—a bottle of her own line of wine made by one of the oldest vineyards in France. It’s something she started this summer—Muscadat by Checkkin, thinking it best to expand her brand with something very special. “So many people have experienced our new vintage!” she says of the bottles made exclusively for her company. “It will be available in area wine shops by end of year, and we’re now in talks to develop a chardonnay, rosé, and merlot as well.”

Checkkin will take this exclusivity a step further with their ultrapremium service, Checkkin Select, for the top one percent checking into high-end Hamptons homes. Besides staging the residences, Select garners staff, like private chefs, and services, such as transportation to and from a client’s Blade Helicopter or ExcelAire Jet. Dan Kahn, Vice President of Charter Sales for ExcelAire the private jet company that works closely with Harding to deliver top level service to the wealthy business people and families they serve, notes that Harding is the consummate professional. “She can almost predict what clients require and makes sure every request is attended to, which falls in line with our philosophy. For us, ‘no’ is never an answer,” he says. “We’re also in constant communication, especially in the summer in the Hamptons.

Working with Gillian is just a pleasure—she’s a great person. It’s almost not work!”

Airbnb is also planning to step into the luxury market this year with the launch of Airbnb Lux, a more sophisticated arm of the business catering to those with unlimited budgets. “Because we’re already in that market, we’re positioned in the right place for the launch of Airbnb Lux—and some are already experiencing its services,” Harding adds. “Beyonce stayed at a $10,000-a-night Airbnb Lux for her recent Superbowl performance.”

Despite running Beta testing in the Hamptons market, Harding plans to set up in other locales around the U.S. and internationally next year. Her clientele is a jet set one already, with those wanting to recharge looking to experts like Harding to help.

“It’s very important that guests meet someone instead of arriving in the dark and foraging for a key in a mailbox,” says the entrepreneur, who had a successful interior design business as well as fashion company prior to her hospitality venture. “It makes them feel right at home. What moves her most though is the way Airbnb is transforming lives. Harding met a 90-year-old gentleman in her neighborhood, a Mr. Frederick Brown, who owned a beach cottage in Sag Harbor that had been shuttered for 25 years. When Harding told him about her relationship with Airbnb, and that she could make him a handsome profit, Brown had the house fixed from top to bottom—including redecoration—and had Harding promptly list it. His cottage is now part of the Airbnb community, to the tune of $400 dollars a night. “What Airbnb is doing for the older generation is incredible,” he says. “It’s giving us the financial freedom to enjoy our final years. At 90, I’m an Airbnb host and loving it!”

Harding realizes that guests never know what to expect in a new place. “Having someone plan everything is crucial,” says the Trinidad native who utilizes her interior design background for staging, and has a line of towels, bedding, and Checkkin magazine on the horizon. “We offer bespoke experiences and five-star-services to the host and guest,” says Harding. “They’re taking a closer look at how booking a luxury home could compare to booking a high-end suite at a five-star hotel. We’re changing the way the one percent vacations.”

One Man’sTrash, Another Man’s Wardrobe

by Stephanie Liddi

Sustainable fashion is a growing industry, and in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, fashion designer Daniel Silverstein is doing his part, one stitch at a time. The New York based designer is the founder of Zero Waste Daniel, a zero waste, sustainable fashion company that produces ethically made streetwear for men and women.

Silverstein started his career in fashion, like many aspiring designers, at FIT, earning a degree and slowly breaking into the industry doing

internships with big name designers. Through his experience interning with different fashion houses, he began to notice a pattern with the exponential amounts of waste created by each company. It was during his first job at Victoria’s Secret that he decided to make a change. “I sat in on a cost meeting... the waste is getting multiplied not just by one shirt but by thousands of shirts. And I thought, this is wrong, I don’t think I can be a part of this, and I created my company to start fighting that,” says Silverstein.

“Zero waste fashion, as defined by me, would be any apparel production that doesn’t have a by-product,” he says. ZWD began as a small niche

design company making clothing out of zero waste patterns. But simply making clothes with no waste wasn’t enough. “I wasn’t having the type of impact I wanted to have,” he says. So he moved to shut down his studio and planned to return to jobs in the fashion industry. “I was feeling bummed out and cleaning out my studio and I decided to just make a shirt out of all my leftovers… and sort of by accident, invented reroll.” Silverstein explains, “Reroll is a technique that I developed that takes pre-consumer, post production cutting room waste and pieces everything back together to make a new textile.”

After posting the shirt on his Instagram, the response was immediate and enthusiastic. “My Instagram was popping. Everyone wanted one.” Realizing that this could be the niche he had been looking for, he began to grow his business, hiring his first intern, which eventually grew into the ZWD team, a small group of makers who thoroughly believe in the sustainable lifestyle. “I believe that this is the future, and now other people are starting to believe it too.”

The material for Zero Waste Daniel comes from 4 different factories, who redirect their cutting room waste to be recycled and remade by the

ZWD designers. Two of the factories are in Brooklyn, one is in Long Island, and the fourth is a GOTS certified organic cotton factory in Virginia. Because the clothes are now made from scraps that would otherwise end up in a landfill, every piece made saves about a pound of fabric from ending up as trash.

“It adds up. If we can get to a place where we are saving a ton a week, we’ll save 52 tons a year from going to landfill.”

When asked about the future of ZWD, the designer sees the company going in two directions. He hopes to expand into home goods and

accessories, growing the products and market of the brand itself. He also plans to use ZWD as a consultant on reroll and producing with zero waste, offering the resources for interested businesses to successfully be a part of the movement. When asked in an industry making slow movements towards sustainability, what sets ZWD apart from others of its kind, Silverstein replied, “A lot of fashion companies are very focused on succeeding at fashion, and I’m not really interested in succeeding at fashion, I am interested in making an impact.”

The designer has also opened new doors, literally, in the form of a brick and mortar store in Brooklyn, NY. His innovative new store is the

fashion equivalent of farm to table, where consumers can watch as one of his talented employees builds an amazing new piece- from scraps. Customers can even choose from the scraps and customize their own wearable fashion mosaic. Zero Waste Daniel designs can also be found at Package Free, the sustainable lifestyle store co-founded by Silverstein in the spring of 2017. Together with business partner and fellow zero waste pioneer Lauren Singer of Trash is for Tossers, Silverstein has created a one stop passion project to bring together makers and consumers alike interested in living a sustainable, trash-free life, and combatting this very real problem. “You can’t underestimate how impactful you can be as a consumer,” he says. “We can really offset this problem.”

FRESH FACES

MARK JACKSON

Mark is an English actor who was born in Rotterdam, The Netherlands to British parents. He is based in London and Los Angeles.

His early life sent him to the Far East where, between the ages of two and ten, he and his family lived in the tropics of Brunei before moving back to England where he attended The Birkenhead School. Then back to Holland where he enrolled at The British School in The Netherlands, Voorschoten, where he performed in various productions and Europe-wide acting competitions. This led to him studying a BA in English and Drama at the University of East Anglia, Norwich.

Mark can next be seen as series regular ‘Isaac’ in “The Orville” forTwentieth Century Fox Television and Fuzzy Door Productions, opposite Seth MacFarlane, Adrianne Palicki, Scott Grimes, Halston Sage, J. Lee, Peter Macon and Penny Johnson Jerald.

He has an extensive list of stage credits which include appearing with Celia Imrie and Robert Glenister in the awardwinning “Noises Off”, the international tour of “One Man Two Gunners” with Rufus Hound, performing opposite Robert Powell in Agatha Christie’s “Black Coffee,” and playing ‘Captain Stewart’ in the National Theatre’s acclaimed production of “War Horse”.

Mark is also an accomplished voice over artist.

RAINE: What was it like wearing the robot costume?

JACKSON: In a show that sees many actors in full body prosthetics, I think I get off pretty lightly. The stages we shoot on are kept at sub zero temperatures, so the suit keeps my pleasant temperate and the helmet, due to an ingenious system of magnets, I can whip off instantly. I guess the short answer would be 'perfectly fine'. The other thing, of course, is that the suit made all the difference to how I moved as Isaac. He has an economy of movement that definitely derived from the suit's structure.

Photographer: Adam Hill

RAINE: You have a lot of stage credits to your name. What has been your most challenging role?

JACKSON: Without a doubt, it would be playing Alfie, an 87-yearold waiter, in the National Theatre's 'One Man, Two Guvnors'. Apart from the obvious challenges of playing such an old chap, the show drew on the high farce of comedia dell’arte, which saw me falling down flights of stairs backwards and being smacked in the face with doors. You need to build up a confidence for playing roles like that which can take some time. It was a real show stopper though and wonderful to perform for each night.

RAINE: What was it like working on the set of “The Orville” with Seth MacFarlane?

JACKSON: The man's pretty iconic in the world of comedy, so I'd be lying if I didn't say I was slightly daunted by the idea of working so closely with him. Fortunately, however, his comic genius is equally matched by his creative generosity. He's been very supportive of the choices I've made with Isaac. Everything was new - the Orville universe, the characters, the technologies and different species - which meant that, to some extent, we were building it all from scratch. To do that, you really need an environment that you feel safe to explore in, and Seth provided that in abundance.

RAINE: Tell more about your character, Isaac.

JACKSON: Well, he's not a robot. I'm expecting to get the robot thing quite a lot, so just getting that in early! He's an artificial life form from the planet Kaylon. Very much not human and very much alive. He's been sent as an ambassador to be the Orville's science officer with the task of reporting back about the Union and the different races that it's composed of. He’s super clever and super aware of it. Not being human, he generally fails to comprehend the crew's idiosyncrasies, to hilarious effect of course. He combines a particular kind of innocence with a jawdropping arrogance, which I think the audience will find appealing.

RAINE MAGAZINE - VOLUME 30

RAINE: Is there a process you undergo to develop your characters?

JACKSON: I'm constantly surprised how different the characters I end up playing are.

I was sure that when I left drama school I'd always play the same sort of part, but it just hasn't been the case. I now consider myself very fortunate because of it - variety being the spice of life and all that. Because of the range of parts, I've found I've had to approach each one differently.

I'm certainly not a method actor, wouldn't know where to begin with that! I think an actor should always trust their instincts. I've found that once you've made a choice, things tend to fall into place after that.

Making sure you know your lines and where to stand helps too.

Rafael De La Fuente Photographer: Valheria Rocha Stylist: Brandon Johnson

Rafael De La Fuente is an actor and singer that can next be seen as Sam, “Sammy Joe” Flores in the CW reboot of Dynasty, premiering on Wednesday, October 11th at 9:00pm. He is known for his roles in FOX’s Empire as Jussie Smollett’s love interest, Michael Sanchez, in ABC’s When We Rise, as Ricardo Canto, Nickelodeon Latin America’s Grachi, as Diego Forlan, and Nickelodeon’s Every Witch Way as Julio.

Previous credits include The One I Wrote for You and the Telemundo telenovelas Aurora and Màs sabe el diablo. Rafael is originally from Venezuela, and currently resides in Los Angeles.

RAINE: Can you tell us about your upcoming role in the reboot of “Dynasty” and what viewers can hope to see?

DE LA FUENTE: The viewers are in for a re-imagined/current re-telling of the classic 80’s hit. There’s a more diverse cast, and it’s set in Atlanta instead of Denver. Relevant conversations are brought to the table like oil, energy, fracking, geopolitics, etc. as well as fashion, drama, comedy and sex!

I play Sam “SammyJo” Flores, originally played by Heather Locklear. Her career skyrocketed with this character. He is Cristal’s nephew who is a bad boy and definitely has a shady past. He has a one night stand with Steven the night before Cristal marries Blake Carrington, and he moves into the Carrington manor to try to get himself a “slice of the pie” causing much trouble in the process.

RAINE: How did you get your first big break as an actor?

DE LA FUENTE: I had a couple small jobs before booking my first series regular in a show for Nickelodeon Latin America called “GRACHI.” This was a huge platform for me, and it allowed me to reach a massive audience because it was broadcasted all throughout Latin America every day of the week for about 2 1/2 years, and it was also a huge success in Spain and Italy as well as many Asian countries. My break in Hollywood would have definitely been “Empire” for Fox. I had a recurring role in that show. I was in the pilot, and I did 11 episodes over two seasons.

Since then, I’ve shot four independent films and the critically acclaimed miniseries “When We Rise” written by Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black, starring opposite Guy Pearce. “Dynasty” is my first series regular in Hollywood, and I am so excited about it.

RAINE: What are some of the other projects you are working on for 2017?

DE LA FUENTE: I have my plate quite full with Dynasty at the moment. but I have a fun guest star role in an episode of one of my favorite shows ever coming out, but I can’t say anything about it because it’s confidential. I can only share that it is very, very scary.

RAINE: How do you maintain a balance between your work and life?

DE LA FUENTE: I think it’s just a matter of not becoming too obsessed with work. Because I am so passionate about what I do, I have had moments where my whole life has revolved around my career, and that can drive you mad. However, I feel like I have achieved a really good balance just by nurturing those relationships that I have in my life with people that are not in the industry, and having activities like traveling, outdoors stuff like camping, fitness and sports.I definitely have to stay on top of that, but I think I’m doing a pretty good job.

RAINE: What are some words of wisdom you’d have for aspiring actor?

DE LA FUENTE: Go to class; don’t attach your ego to your work; listen to people that have been around longer than you, and have the certainty that things are going to happen, and be resilient.

E XOT I C VOYAG E S AROUND THE WORLD

Exotic Voyages is trading on the success of its seventeenth year of operation by expanding its luxury global portfolio to include three new countries for adventurous travelers: Oman, India and Japan.

Designed with privacy and authenticity in mind, the Asia-based luxury travel company is also launching 18 new completely customizable itineraries, six in each of the three destinations.

“Oman, India and Japan are fascinating countries that should be on everyone’s bucket list for 2017,” said AndrewCarroll,globalheadofsalesandmarketingatExotic Voyages.“Oneofthesafestandmostbeautifulcountriesin theMiddleEast,OmanistheGulf’sundiscoveredgemand an antidote to the glittery artifice of Dubai. India is one of the world’s greatest melting pots with amazing cultural, religiousandspiritualexperiences.Thefoodaloneisreason enough to visit Japan.”

All of Exotic Voyages’ tours are private, highly personalized and include expert, English-speaking guides. Guests can expect to stay in properties renowned for exceptional quality, style, location and service, including five-star hotels like The Chedi Muscat in Oman, The Raj Palace in Jaipur and Japan’s Park Hotel Tokyo.

Some of the highlights for the Oman, India and Japan itineraries include:

JAPAN: Visit the Meji shrine & Sensoji temple in Tokyo: These two temple and shrine are located in the intersections of the mainly busy districts of Tokyo and are the musts when you visit the capital of Japan.

Hike the Fuji Mountain: Climbing the Fujisan is such a common but everly worthwhile thing to do for not only native Japanese people but also international visitors. Do you know that every year, there are approximately 300,000 people climbing this notably Japan’s highest mountain?

Taste Japanese gourmet: Food lovers (not saying if you are traveling only for food) now can have chance to try various mouthwatering dishes of the country whose local cuisine has been designated the Intangible Heritage of Humanity by Unesco.

See cherry blossoms in spring, or in a cherry blossom festival: Stay tuned and just go Japan in around January and March if you want to catch the best scenes of cherry blossoms in their blooming season!

INDIA: Chase down the Big 5 of India: They call them the big cats, actually they are the Bengal tiger, the Asiatic Lion, the snow leopard, clouded leopard and Indian leopards. Don’t miss out spotting them all in your India tour.

Take a boat ride on the Ganges in Varanasi: This is not quite for the faint-hearted but you probably happen to love the roughness of Varanasi, love its redly sunset sky, smokes in the air and the music is a little bit too loud when cruising along the Ganges on a traditional boat.

Celebrate the world’s most colorful festival: Holi, or the festival of colours, festival of love takes place in the beginning time of year to celebrate the victory of the good over the evil, of the arrival of spring, the end of winter and the occasion to meet others, play and laugh, and also repair the broken relationship.

See the Taj Mahal in sunset: No need to say about the fame of this destination among world travelers. Make sure take some good shots of it, also yourself in the sunset. It is a truly magnificent scene.

OMAN: Explore the desert landscape: Leave the capital of Muscat behind and make your way through Oman’s rugged mountain terrain, past quaint villages and historic forts, to Wahiba Sands. The country’s largest desert covers 12,500 square kilometers and is a prime spot to spend a night under the stars, like the local Bedouins. Bring warm clothes and huddle around the campfire at night and wake early to catch the sun rising over the sand dunes.

Visit an oasis: Wadi Bani Khalid’s rich turquoise waters framed by lush palms are a stark contrast to the barren desert landscape throughout much of the country. Swim in the large natural pools that make up this desert oasis and sun yourself on the rock formations that border the clear waters.

Tee-off in an emerging golf destination: Muscat is home to some stunning courses including Almouj, a signature 18-hole Greg Norman golf course, perfectly placed along six kilometers of shoreline with sea views from each hole. Another notable place to tee-off is Muscat Hills Golf & Country Club, an 18-hole course spread over four hectares of nature-inspired terrain with canyon-like wadi throughout.

Get lost in a traditional bazaar: The Muttrah Souk, in the old city of Muscat, is as much a cultural experience as a chance to pick up some local goods. Its warren of alleys house stalls touting a range of products. Pick up some fragrant frankincense and myrrh--two musky scents that you’ll smell throughout the country, or purchase some gold or silver adornments from the many jewelers.

Don’t Be Afraid to Give up the Good to Go for the Great.

His newly publish book, Change Your Clothes, Change Your Life, is an eye-opening look at the secret language of clothing. More than a style guide, this innovative book teaches a method of conscious dressing that begins with a powerful internal change.

Instead of desperately grabbing for whatever’s on hand, you’ll learn to set your goals for the day, determining how you want to be perceived and then dressing in a way that helps manifest those intentions.

“Clothing is about so much more than style.

Every single thing you wear communicates something about you to the outside world— and it also winds up having a significant impact on the way you feel. From color to style to fit to fabric, every aspect of your clothing has the potential to either enhance or hinder your personal brilliance.

Finding the wardrobe that makes you feel confident and beautiful is such an important part of living a life you love, because how you feel impacts everything you do.

I truly believe that when you feel amazing, amazing things start to happen for you.” – George Brescia Change Your Clothes, Change Your Life, reveals the true power your clothing has to affect your life, a second skin that speaks volumes before you even open your mouth, impacting your job prospects, your romantic life, your income, and—most important—your deepest sense of self. Translating his styling methods into a philosophy anyone can apply on their own, Brescia delivers tips and tricks of the trade to help convert even the most hapless dresser into a happy and educated shopper— one who not only looks great but feels more confident, too. From major closet overhauls to a whole new philosophy on color, this is a comprehensive manual for anyone who’s ever looked at their closet in despair.

Bagged and In Style

BY NIQUI B.

Handbag designer Alexandria Wunmi Alli has always been intrigued by the world of fashion; after all, her mom is a fashion designer and had her own studio in Nigeria. When Alexandria (or Wunmi as her family and friends call her) was a little girl, she begged her Mom to let her come and help at her studio. Listening to Alexandria reminisce about her childhood, I could hear the joy in her voice as she told of running to her Mom’s design studio after school to create her own designs for her Barbie dolls, such as scarves and little dresses with African print. Without realizing it, Alexandria’s ‘design schooling’ started back then in the back of her mother’s studio as she watched her mom sketch designs and soaked up knowledge from the tailors.

When Alexandria was 13, the family migrated to Atlanta, Georgia, where she took on another side of the fashion industry and began her modeling career. At the time, Alexandria dreamed of signing with a top modeling agency and walking for noted designers. Though she never realized that dream, her love for fashion grew as she was exposed to the glamour and luxury of the fashion industry. It’s here, too, that she continued her ‘fashion education’ as she learned how designers marketed their clothing and set up for trade and trunk shows to capture the interest of buyers.

In 2008, armed with a Masters in Business Administration, her ‘fashion education,’ and her husband’s encouraging prods, Alexandria started F&W Style. From the outside looking in, it may seem as such an easy progression. However, after her modeling career floundered, Alexandria stepped away from fashion and took up a more “Corporate America” path

by becoming a banker. That’s when she realized that there was a void and her creativity needed an outlet. She began filling this creative void by designing handbags. She told me, however, that even after she started her handbag designs she struggled with a low point where her business was stagnant. Her resilience and persistence, though, kept her moving forward as a “staycation” at the Ritz Carlton to boost her spirits became the spark her business needed and the turning point of F&WStyle.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Alexandria to learn how the little girl from Africa with her Barbie dolls and big dreams walked away from the fashion runways and towards taking her handbags to boutiques nationwide, including the Ritz Carlton stores.

What’s your favorite memory from your Mom’s design studio?

I was really young when she started and I have so many fond memories of going there after school when I was 9 or 10. The way it was set up was that the front was the show room where people would shop and in the back she had several tailors. I remember going there and getting to create my own design for my Barbie dolls. They came with clothes, but I could give them African print or make something that I was wearing. The studio also faced the main street with mannequins in the show window. I would go and stand like a mannequin and when people passed by I would move. (She chuckled at the memory of her thinking she was actually scaring passersby). What I hold dear was the community feeling of it all -- seeing them sketch and talking to the tailors --it was magical.

IMAGES COURTESY OF ALEXANDRIA WUNMI

You’ve lived and traveled abroad extensively. How did those travels shape who you are today?

I have a lot of family in Europe and in Nigeria and have visited often. It broadened my view of people, cultures, and values. From a design perspective, I was really fascinated by the architecture. I loved the shape, structure, and lines of the buildings in London. This may be why I don’t do many slouchy bags. My love of color is ingrained in me from growing up in Nigeria. We like attention and things that make you stand out. So all our bags have that hot pink interior as a dose of happiness for the F&W girl. When she opens her bag I want her to see something pretty.

I want her to feel special.

What is your dream city?

Oooh, that’s a hard question. I’d have to say Paris. I never lived there but I think of it as somewhere I could retire. I love my family, and they are in the US, however, what makes my brain go “wow” -- that would be Paris. My heart, though, is with my family and that’s in Atlanta; that’s why I said it was a hard question. People are beginning to realize, too, how dynamic Atlanta is, especially as a designer. You can stand out because people are craving for that and the city is not yet saturated like New York or Los Angeles.

How did you come up with your name? Was it instant or did you go through a naming process?

It was instant. My husband is into fashion and is a big part of F&W. He does the back end and the technical matters and also helps with the creative process. His name is Fred and my name is Wunmi. We would dress up and go to parties and he would always match what I wore. So if I wore a blue and red dress he would add a red scarf t his outfit. People would say “oh yeah that’s F&W, that’s what they do.” So when we started the business was automatic.

As a model turned designer, how does that help you? Does it give you an advantage?

Being a model has helped me so much. Modeling helped as it showed me the other side of design. You have the product and you say how do I sell it? As a model, I was involved in that. From the fashion show and tradeshows I got to see designers setting up their product.

Manufacturers were also at these tradeshows, so when I started my business I knew who to call about trunk shows and tradeshows to ask how to get in. This is why, too, I started Fashion Design to Thrive (FDT) workshops. I had a very successful one here in Atlanta. I worked with Yetunde Shorters of ICPR, and we did the workshop together in Atlanta. I get so many enquiries from designers asking how I got into a magazine, a trunk show, or tradeshow so I wanted to share.

Now we are doing an online workshop which launches this week. There’s a lot of information to tell designers how to make things but we also need to know how to sell and market our brand.

How do you choose the pattern and colors for your bags? What role does your heritage play in colors and patterns, if any?

As far as the colors, it’s the light bulb that goes off in my head. I love red and I think it’s a powerful color for women. And then I do surveys and ask women what colors they’re liking. I also do look at the pantone colors that come out every year. For my Sade bags the aso oke fabric is used for weddings and special occasions or by royalty. When I got married I wore that fabric for the first time and I felt like a queen with the sash and the head wrap. Now it just sits in my closet. I felt like women everywhere and every day, if they wanted to, should feel like queens, so I wanted to use that fabric. To choose my patterns I looked at what Nigerian royalty were wearing and I looked at the patterns that would translate well in the US. Are your bags hand woven here in the US? They are hand woven by men in villages in Nigeria. You can also create your own pattern and they would make it. The stripe has been our best seller.

Getting into the Ritz Carlton stores is a feather in your cap. How did you make that happen?

There was a point where I felt like we were stuck at a level. I wanted to move up and I was feeling really low. My girlfriends planned a ‘staycation’ for me at the Ritz Carlton. While there, I saw that they had no Atlanta designers in the store and I felt like they needed something fresh and new.

I got the buyers information and I made several calls but could never reach her. I put a reminder on my calendar to call at least once a week, hoping that I’d catch her in the office or she’d finally get curious and answer. One day I was driving and decided to call. And she answered!

I explained that I had stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Atlanta and that I was a local designer. She said she was there now and asked if I could stop in. So I did. She put me in a small section of the store a little bit away from the public though they could still see me. She indicated that she would be back in an hour. I proceeded to set up my display and line sheets. Funnily enough, a couple of ladies came in and asked about the bags. They were guests at the hotel and asked if they could purchase one of my bags. Now, I am not one to say “no” to a sale! The buyer came in right then and introduced herself. Before I could introduce myself however, one of the guest piped in, “You should have her here because I want this bag!” That lady was a godsend as she told my story for me. Several meetings later they were carrying my bag. Persistence plus luck paid off. I’d advise any designer or entrepreneur to keep calling, be professional, and be on time.

You may feel that they are rejecting you but perhaps but they haven’t noticed you yet. Sometimes you need to call like seven times before they look beyond the call to the person.

FLY IN OINTMENT, 2008 OIL ON CANVAS, MOUNTED TO PVC PLASTIC, AND ARRANGED ON WALL 36 X 48 INCHES / 91 X 122 CM

ARTIST:

ADAM KRUEGER “En Caul,” by Artist Adam Krueger is a solo show of paintings, drawings, and hybrid-sculptures presented by Kin + Gold gallery in New York and curated by gallery owner Jenny Mushkin Goldman. Derived from visceral sources, Krueger’s art is the result of intensive self-reflection resulting from his confrontations with isolation that stem back to early childhood, or perhaps even from birth.

Despite being esoteric with personal symbolism, his art explores the nearly universal human capacity for self-awareness. Recognizing the self (“me”) as being separate from the external world (“not-me”) begins when an infant comes to understand that they are a separate being from its mother, resulting in feelings of loneliness and fear. To cope, a child may become attached to a comfort object, which exists in limbo between the internal and the external, to serve as a stand-in for its mother. Krueger taps into this impulse with Security Blanket, which transforms a ubiquitous childhood balm into an allegory of distinctly adult experiences. In this work, Krueger weaves together outwardly trivial imagery, such as Christmas themed wrapping paper, takeout menus and magazine ads, to form a curiously expressive collage made from hundreds of intricate oil paintings in the shape of a quilt on a hanger.

The kaleidoscopic patterns initially appear random, however, upon deeper inspection a cryptic narrative appears. Images such as the packaging of Plan B, a plastic packet holding traces of white powder and an upright Seven of Swords tarot card all serve to allude to a wanton tale of lust, danger, betrayal, and grief.

MY MATTRESS, 2007 OIL ON CANVAS , MOUNTED TO PVC PLASTIC, AND ARRANGED ON WALL, SPRAY PAINT ON WALL 36 IN X 72 INCHES / 91 X 183 CM

Krueger continues with the motif of coverings with those that are used for protection and/or concealment. The depictions vary from plastic furniture covers to clear poly garment bags. Like a baby born en-caul (born in the amniotic sac), these encasements evoke a clinging on to an existence pre-birth— a yearning for the privacy and unity with one’s mother that exists only while in utero. Krueger simultaneously investigates the psychic barriers one creates to hide the vulnerable true self from the outside world. Krueger covers his private relics with mostly crystal clear materials, conveying his conflicting desires to protect his true self while indulging in exhibitionism, underscoring the dualities inherent in human nature. Reflecting this dichotomy are his delicately rendered graphite drawings on paper displayed in plastic baggies. Things like a cankered shower drain cover, a cigarette butt, a scraped scratch-off ticket or an engagement ring come across as both evidence and precious relics enshrined. Detritus and gems, the spent and the unused

are presented equally, exploring the elusiveness of time and mercuriality of memories. Wrought solely in black and white, evoking the silver screen hues of a bygone era, the artifacts convey a nostalgia for the recent past. Krueger’s use of grayscale remind that although potent and often vivid, keepsakes and the recollections they evoke are not red-blooded life itself, but like smoke and ash from a once burning flame.

CURATORIAL STATEMENT FOR ADAM KRUEGER’S “ENCAUL” EXHIBIT, KIN+GOLD GALLERY, NEW YORK CITY, 2017

In Krueger’s most recent of works on view, he explores the most intimate covering we all have: our skin. For these pieces, Krueger tattoos synthetic skin (rubber silicon) with imagery that explores notions of self-evaluation and identity, such as through the symbolism of tarot cards, which are used for divination and tapping into one’s subconscious. Krueger illuminates the means that one can use to help satisfy curiosity about one’s self: past, present and future. By using the unusual medium of tattooed artificial skin, Krueger expresses how deeply embedded our notions of self can be, either true or imaginary. Yet our skin is a constantly self-refreshing organism, sloshing off the dead weight to make way for the new. Krueger’s work serves as a talisman through the tumult of this cyclical change: from birth, to childhood to adulthood.

THE ANAM RESORT

MAKES A BOLD MOVE ON THE VIETNAMESE COASTLINE RAINE MAGAZINE - VOLUME 30

91

The Anam, a 117-villa and 96-room resort that commands a stunning beachfront setting and a sublime 10 treatment-room spa and is primed to be one of Vietnam’s most compelling new destinations.

Blazing new ground in a destination emerging as a high-end alternative to nearby Nha Trang, the independently owned and operated five-star resort will cut the ribbon on a host of world-class facilities, including the spa, three restaurants and two bars, a 3-D movie theatre, a ballroom, conference facilities, water sports centre, yoga room and deck, tennis court, gym, kids club and three swimming pools.

The Anam’s design pays homage to colonial-era and ageold Vietnamese aesthetics, evoking a nostalgic tone with its imperial Hue-style roofs, glowing lanterns, big-bellied water vases, decorative pools, customized mosaic floor tiles and stone pathways.

Some 3,000 palm trees shade the 12-hectare property that fronts 300 meters of private beach overlooking the East Sea, where toast-brown sand, turquoise waters, dramatic headlands and offshore islands come together as one of Vietnam’s most picture-perfect seaside enclaves.

Ranging in size from 50 sqm to 267 sqm, the villas, rooms and suites afford unencumbered views of the ocean, towering headlands, lush gardens and the resort’s swimming and decorative pools. Terraces or balconies jut from every villa.

Twenty-seven villas have separate living rooms and their own private swimming pools.

Throughout the resort, old world elegance meets Asian aesthetics and prerogatives in a fusion of East and West. Forests cultivated for sustainable harvests supplied the hardwood. Local artisans designed floor tiles that reference colonial French floors. Vietnamese artwork hang from the walls and perched on plinths open doors on the country’s culture.

Three distinct restaurants, The Indochine, Indochine Grill and Beach Club, and two bars, Saigon Bar and Sports Bar, lure diners from venues casual enough for finger food and refined enough for a baby grand piano.

The Sri Mara Spa comprises 10 treatment rooms, including four VIP rooms designed for couples, each equipped with two massage beds, a steam room, sauna and outdoor granite Jacuzzi.

Complimentary daily activities include beach volleyball, badminton, sepak takraw (a sport known as ‘kick volleyball’ native to Southeast Asia) and sunrise yoga. Other recreational pursuits offered by the water sports center range from kayaking and bravo sailing, to surfing, bodyboarding and snorkeling. The Anam can also organize personal training, tennis and even a fishing excursion in an iconic Vietnamese coracle boat.

ASETTI HOMES

THE BUGATTI OF BESPOKE LUXURY LIVING RAINE MAGAZINE - VOLUME 30

105

The hot, new architectural and design company Asetti has quickly risen above the architectural norms and taken its seat as the King of the Super Home. As unique and eye-catching as a Bugatti, this fabulous new way to create space took the design industry by storm, starting with the launch of “Utopia”—a super-suave “James Bond” style home. In addition to being completed for the premier of the latest Bond movie Spectre, “Utopia” was also quickly featured in the special edition of Dolce Vita Diamond. Other spectacular designs soon followed this success, bringing Asetti Design Group worldwide recognition as pioneers of a new vogue of movie style homes that epitomize taste and refinement.

Though originally founded by British designer Chris Clayton, it was not long before Asetti joined forces with legendary American architect Arthur Dyson, who came on board as senior architect and partner on projects in the USA. Arthur has a lifetime of experience, having trained

under legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright. He has been awarded an incredible 200 architectural awards and has appeared in over 400 publications.

Together, Chris and Arthur form the main core of the Asetti design team, which is internationally known for its superior architectural designs of super homes and premier luxury properties. Asetti continues to take luxury home design to even higher levels, creating a niche that is so far unsurpassed in its originality.

“For me personally, each design is a unique opportunity to create something spectacular; a home that is not only a place for someone to live, but a work of art. It must be amazing, it must use all of my creative abilities and push myself, as lead designer, and the architect to our limits of imagination. I see it no differently than an artist painting a masterpiece, a poet writing a magnum opus, or a film maker producing a wonderful

movie. One has to step out of the arena of the mundane, which we see far too much of, and delve deep within, bringing to the surface something spectacular. Once the seed of the idea surfaces, then it’s a case of crafting and molding it to perfection. Architecture is art and should stem from the same source.” Chris Clayton, Head Designer and founder of Asetti.

Asetti casts its net far and wide: from the exotic Far East, Middle East, and India to the classy scenes of London and the South of France to the “playground” coasts of California and Florida. If anyone is seeking the “wow” factor, a movie style super home, and appreciates the very best in modern architectural design, then the Asetti team are the guys to talk to.

Their philosophical and spiritual nature allows them to create homes that exemplify quality and exudes a unique nature, a rare dynamic only possible through the imaginative gifts of Asetti.

Conscious of the environment and lovers of the natural world,

they are proponents of organic architecture and believe strongly in a natural flow to each design. Whenever possible, Asetti endeavors to utilize all modern forms of energy saving technology and create homes that are in harmony within themselves and the environment around them.

“As creators of buildings, it is our duty to consider the environment.

It makes perfect sense to work with nature, not fight it. I think my 15 years of designing in the Far East taught me a major aspect of Buddhist thinking, which is to avoid conflict. A design should be a product of its location. If one is receptive to nature and how it flows, a home can compliment it, rather than clash.” Chris Clayton, Head Designer and founder of Asetti.

Chris continues to push the boundaries with a poetic grace that radiates throughout the designs. The Asetti Design Group is currently completing three projects in SE Asia and look forward to bringing more of their unique approach to luxury design to the USA.
