THE FACE

THERE WAS ONLY ONE PLACE TO SEE AND BE SEEN ON 20TH AUGUST THIS YEAR- THE FACE. MODELS, MAKE-UP ARTISTS, STYLISTS, FASHIONISTAS, DESIGNERS, PHOTOGRAPHERS, PUNKS, GOTHS, YOU NAME IT- ALL DESCENDED ON THE LEGENDARY CLUB NIGHT, INCLUDING AGENT2’s VERONICA CARPIO…

Despite a brief hiatus, The Face club night returned with a bang, promising to ‘turn London back to its best with a night celebrating eccentricity, art, eclectic music, fashion and excess’. And it certainly delivered. The Green Carnation in Soho saw a night dedicated to freedom, beauty, art, eccentricity and extravaganza with renowned DJs Steve Strange and Princess Julia hitting the decks in a celebration of 80’s fashion and music. The aim? According to party boy, model and host Alejandro Gocast, “This night is all about expressing yourself, being free, releasing the artist in you, being whoever you want to be”.

The Green Carnation is a fitting backdrop for such hedonism. A stylish bar inspired by Oscar Wilde, with elegant décor, dim lighting and green and gold walls full of quotes from the writer- “I can resist anything except temptation”- the atmosphere is a cocktail of Bohemian passion and Victorian luxury with a laid-back ambiance.

Vaudeville’s darkest muse Mr Pustra was the star of the show, presenting his fabulous new show King Midas. Covered in gold, with bruised make-up, very long lashes and extreme red lips, he moved elegantly around the stage dripping wax onto his semi-naked body, transporting the viewers to a world of decadence and melancholy. There is no attempt at storytelling, simply a creation of beauty, an experiment, a fantasy, both visually stunning and hugely entertaining.

Mr Pustra started in 2006 creating shows inspired by the 1930s, Charlie Chaplin, cabaret and burlesque, making Vaudeville’s art fashionable again. “I want to create something that is visually beautiful. I don’t do shocking things as people don’t get shocked anymore”. He looks for unexpected ways to entertain the spectator: “I am on a continuous journey of learning, always trying different things, always challenging myself”. He gets his inspiration from films, music, paintings and then creates a unique performance. “I don’t follow anyone. I just do my own thing. The most important thing is to be passionate about what you do. You have to believe in yourself and then people will believe in you”.

And this is certainly something that partygoers have taken on board- with guests encouraged to ‘Bring along a face like no other’, we can’t wait for the next one…

BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL – AFRO HAIR AND BEAUTY SHOW 2010

OVER THE SPRING BANK HOLIDAY THE 29^TH ANNUAL AFRO HAIR AND BEAUTY SHOW WAS HELD AT THE CONTEMPORARY BUSINESS DESIGN CENTRE, ISLINGTON, LONDON. THE BLACK HAIR AND BEAUTY INDUSTRY IS WORTH MILLIONS OF POUNDS YEAR, YET GO INTO ANY MAINSTREAM BEAUTY OUTLET AND YOU’LL BE HARD PUSHED TO FIND SPECIFIC RANGES FOR NON-WHITES. AS A RESULT OF THIS UNDER-REPRESENTATION, EACH YEAR HUNDREDS ‘ETHNICALLY FOCUSED’ COMPANIES BECOME EXHIBITORS AND SET UP STALL PROMOTING PRODUCTS THAT, BY AND LARGE, ARE AIMED AT THE EVER GROWING AFRO-CARIBBEAN/BLACK/MIXED CONSUMER POPULATION.

This year the show’s buzzword was diversity. Gone are the days when the choice of hair style for women of colour was limited to wearing your chemically straightened hair either long or short. Today ‘Relaxer’ packs are still sold by the truck-load but we’re more likely than ever before to spot a woman of colour sporting her ‘natural’ hair. Subsequently, this year a greater emphasis was placed on natural hair options, which shone with ingenuity, and exhibitors were dedicated to spilling natures secret’s to incredibly healthy hair. A programme of seminars provided the opportunity to learn via the conventional methods; and Stop Watch Stylist competitions, challenged hairdressers to create inventive hair designs within a strict fifteen minute time slot to prove just how easy it is to tame a dense mass of afro hair, and win the approval of the celebrity judges in attendance.

Dyhema from the Southeast London salon, LocsTafari, specialises in ‘Locs’ and natural hair grooming, inspired by the legacy of her African heritage and upbringing. Whether it’s an Afro, Micro Thin Locs or organically grown Jumbo Locs her approach is the same; natural oils, blessed hands and hearts of love.

To create ‘Locs’ Dyhema explains that “several techniques can be used, so many, [laughs] just so many. You can use your fingers to twist sections of hair into ‘Locs’.  You can get a flannel or woolly jumper and rub round in circles around your head – you’lll start to notice little ‘Loc’ balls forming. The most common technique is simply by doing it organically. Just leaving your hair and it’ll eventually mat together and form ‘loc’s on their own. Or there’s ‘Interlocking’ which involves using a needle to hook sections of hair together.”

She found herself within the professional ‘Loctitian’ circle when she “started just doing favours for friends. Then I realised that my hair diary was more hectic than my work diary. It’s something that I enjoy doing, so I decided to make a career out of it. It’s amazing how little is known about a natural hair style so it gives me a chance to help people express themselves.”

When asked whether she would advise going to the ‘Loctitian’ often, or just let the ‘Locs’ do their own thing, she continued: “It depends totally on the individual. Some people in the corporate world would go to the salon more often because they want to keep the ‘sharp’, ‘fresh’ look. They might need to go to the salon more often than someone is an artist. What I do say though, is that in life, too much of one thing is not bad thing. You can kind of over-do ‘Locs’ as constantly re- twisting the ‘Locs’ can make them weak, so I would advise grooming them not more than once every two weeks.”

Despite the attendance of exhibitors championing natural hair, the promotion of human and synthetic false hair is still the main draw for the thousands of visitors to the Afro Hair and Beauty Show.

Exhibitor ‘Neferlady’ boasts of supplying “100% Virgin Natural Brazilian and Malaysian Hair from 10 – 24 inches”, ‘Lace Wig Elegance’ peddles “Brazilian, Indian, Peruvian, and Malaysian hair that is 100% virgin, guaranteed tangle free that moves naturally”, ‘Bullfinch International Ltd’ are manufacturers of “luxurious, flowing 100% Virgin Remy Indian Human Hair”. It is exactly this massive demand for straight false-hair alternatives that inspired award-winning comedian and filmmaker, Chris Rock, to investigate this pandemic in his hilarious Fall 2009 documentary, Good Hair, Chris visits beauty salons and hairstyling battles, much like those of the Afro Hair and Beauty Show; but also visits scientific laboratories and Indian temples to explore the way hairstyles impact the activities, pocketbooks, sexual relationships, and self-esteem of the black community. The film was heavily promoted at the event.

The show also provided an opportunity to observe the beautiful models and fabulous designs from some of the finest UK designers of Afro-Caribbean/Black/Mixed heritage and be bowled over by street dance routines choreographed and performed by the stars of the latest dance movie StreetDance. ‘Tamarind Books’, the leading independent publisher of multicultural picture books held a creative writing workshop on writing multicultural stories for children and teens and discussed the importance of representing of black children in literature.

The Bank Holiday Weekend was brought to a close with the amazing ‘Sensationnel Icon’ competition. The most creative hair designers from around the country, each created a collection of elaborate masterpieces showcasing their visions in colour, shape and astounding workmanship. The winner was Angela Plummer of Sour2Sweet in North London who knitted and plaited the hair extensions into millinery inspired creations to music by Grace Jones.

DERMALOGICA EVENT

Beauty bloggers and journalists were invited to get under the skin of the Dermalogica brand earlier this week at Dermalogica Kensington. Taking us on the 25 year journey of the cult skincare range was founder Jane Wurwand, whose presentation proved to be super motivational.

Focused not just on the professional skincare industry, the talk touched on entrepreneurship (‘identify the pain and you’ve found the opportunity’), the power of marketing via word of mouth and a good dose of feel good, girl power -98% of skin therapists are women, after all. Jane quoted from former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright (which I enjoyed so much I just had to include it) by stating that ‘there’s a special place in hell reserved for women who don’t help other women’. It was all unifying, sisterly stuff, which left you with the feeling that, as a financially independent and ambitious woman, anything is possible.

Jane is also the brains behind The International Dermal Institute and it became clear that the Institutes cutting edge research on the Dermalogica line is what gives Dermalogica its point of difference, and goes a long way into accounting for its massive global reach. The foundation of Dermalogica as a ‘skin wellness’ range, as opposed to a beauty brand consisting of luxury skin products, all over-priced packaging and cryptic content, remains refreshing and relevant.

Education over, it was hair bands on (very fetching) and we were all digging into Dermalogica’s ‘hero’ products under the guidance of a skin therapist (the Daily Resurfacer was a resounding winner in my group). A Face Mapping skin analysis was available at the end of the evening, which assesses and detects your problem areas and recommends a treatment prescription, a free service that’s available for anyone feeling complexion curious.

I left the evening something of a Dermalogica disciple, ready, in true Dermalogica style, to spread the word.

SAPPHIRES MODEL MANAGEMENT LAUNCH

Sapphires Model Management launched its new London Soho office with a bang last week.

Guests included illustrator Daisy de Villeneuve, Portia Shaw from BLOW PR, Matches merchandise manager Frances Card and stylist Rebekah Roy.

Cocktails and Sweetie Darlings cupcakes fuelled the chatter well into the night while DJ Jeffrey Louis-Reed kept everyone entertained.

“We’re very grateful to have the support of so many leading industry figures. Sapphires’ move to Soho is a big step for the company and we can’t wait to see where this new adventure takes us,” said managing partner Reyes.

THE JACQUES TOWNHOUSE

An Alice in Wonderland world of English eccentricity, vintage glamour and bohemian mysticism entranced guests at the launch of The Jacques Townhouse, a quirky collaboration between Jacques Cider and David Carter, of award-winning boutique hotel, 40 WINKS. 1950’s attired concierge and bevy of bellboys greeted arrivals at reception to grant a key and offer guidance on the delights hidden behind each door. The basement held host to Benefit Cosmetics new Lash Couture service, while the dressing up box next door offered a suitably retro styling service. Ladies were transformed into vintage pin-ups and flash! The girls fluttered their exotic lashes and ruffled their frocks for the photographers’ lens. Cutesy cup cakes were served courtesy of Vintage Patisserie and, teamed with the fruit cider fusions of Jacques, created a twist on the quintessential English Tea Party. Wandering mystics played with guest’s fate as tarot cards were read and the curious could enter the palm reader’s tent to discover their destiny.  The exquisite Sophie Ellis Bexter and hubby (aka Me & Mrs Jones) headlined the evening and played a set centred around classic Blow Up Club tunes. We left wishing we could stay forever but, alas, the charming townhouse closes its doors on the 6^th August so ensure you get your fill of fantasy before the story ends.

LUPE CASTRO’S GUIDE TO SWISHING

THE BIG SWISH, DUBBED THE ‘CLOTHES-SWAPPING EXTRAVAGANZA OF THE YEAR’ WAS HELD AT THE LONG ACRE IN COVENT GARDEN ON JULY 13. AMONG GUESTS WERE ACTRESS VICKY OGDEN, SWISHING COMMENTATOR.

ONCE ALL THE COAT HANGERS WERE CLEARED FROM THE FLOOR, AGENT2 CAUGHT UP WITH THE ORGANISER, FASHION STYLIST LUPE CASTRO, WHO ORGANISED THE EVENT WITH THE BIG WARDROBE.

First things first – what’s the rule on Primark?

We only put out top condition Primark dresses and jackets. I am considering putting a cap of one item per person on Primark dresses. Although they have got someone in charge of ethical policy now, their concept doesn’t really sit well with us!

Did you have a lot of items that didn’t make the cut?

We actually did have quite a bit that we rejected because it was either too loved or torn. These are taken to cloths banks and used for rags or mops. Then there were a couple of shoes and I think that’s because of the sizing! But all in all we had soo much brought in. It was terribly good for swishing standards!

Any success stories?

A girl was so overjoyed because she was lusting over a pair of vintage Rayban glasses that someone had just nabbed but then she found them discarded in the makeshift changing area! She was literally jumping for joy. I was amazed by some beautiful long evening dresses in beautiful silk satin, one in particular with gorgeous jewelled detailing. It went, of course!

Where did the swishers come from?

We had some lovely ladies that came all the way from Holland! In fairness they were visiting friends but made sure the two coincided and brought some lovely things to swish from home! Also some girls came down from Manchester and Birmingham! We had some Italians and Swedes that also that popped in and were so inspired, they’re wanting to do one in.

What were most girls swishing for?

Either for work or that special birthday, graduation or wedding party maybe a one off piece that they didn’t want otherwise to invest in!

Swishing can get quite heated. Was everyone on their best behaviour?

Everyone was really terribly well behaved waiting around to get cloths checked out can be nerve wrecking to say the least! No fights and if anything was looked at and then left it was immediately picked up by an awaiting swisher.

And last but not least, when’s the next one?

September – and it will be designer only. Am determined to get everyone swishing, the whole of west London preferably! I have unofficially swished all my life with friends and family and I simply adore changing and tweaking cloths in order for them to fit perfectly!

I mean who the hell has a symmetrical shape and that is how cloths are made now. And when you swish you kinda feel allowed to change something, don’t you?

LETS GET ONE THING STRAIGHT: I HATE PRIMARK

LETS GET ONE THING STRAIGHT: I HATE PRIMARK.

Oh and another, I’m completely selfish when it comes to my wardrobe.

I’ll give money to charities and do volunteer work, but give anyone the (high-end) shirt off my back? No way, mate.

So when I received an email about a clothes-swapping (aka swishing) event taking place, I immediately had only one suspicion: this is the Primark mob who don’t care trying to rip off us people who do.

Moi? Swish? You bloody wish!

I’d have to beat these people at their own game. Now what could I get rid of? Nothing really… apart from a couple of koala tea towels that Mum had posted me from back home, Australia. I’d intended on wearing them as tops the next time I went to Liverpool.

What about my ‘Step Outside Posh Boy’ shirt with Gordon Brown’s face emblazoned on it? Surely that would be out of season for about the next three years.

“I’ve got a cork hat and the best bit of Kiwi tourist tat ever – possum fur nipple warmers,” a friend offered.

”Take 15 pairs of socks with you!” another added.

But hang on, I was missing the point.

This wasn’t about getting rid of any old stuff for the sake of it.

Wasn’t it about being ethical and environmentally friendly? And charity?

As the world’s number one advocate for the eradication of Primark, I had a duty to take this recycling scheme seriously.

Besides, I was sure if I turned up with a yellow and green sweatband with AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE, I’d be swished right out the door.

Nor did I really know who else would be attending. After all, these were troubled times. Even celebs were going bust. Kylie had been seen in an op shop earlier this year.

So having rethought my approach to swishing, I came up with about seven items, all from the high street. There was Urban Outfitters and American Apparel, among others.

And since I wanted to feel like I was making a serious effort, I included a black and white Breton style dress from French Connection. While life would go on without it, it wasn’t exactly easy to give it up. (Just to test out the style rules, I also hid an alice band with the Australian flag on it, in the bag).

I packed them all into a cloth bag.

When I arrived at the bar to hand them in, I lined up next to a female who was unpacking a massive suitcase, like she was Mariah Carey’s sister. Oooh this could be good, I thought.

When it came to my turn, they accepted most of my items apart from a pair of jeggings (yes, I know, what had I been thinking?) which had a stain.

By the time the countdown to the event actually approached, the bar where the swishing was happening resembled the Boxing Day sales.

“Swish with dignity and flair,” the female commentator boomed into a microphone.

“Hand bags on the side. No elbows. I’ve already lost an earring,” she warned.

“10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,…

“SWISH!”

CLANG went the first coat hanger on the ground.

Having not devised any tactics, I had no idea what to do. But I figured that there wouldn’t be as many people around accessories, so I dived for them first.

But after a couple of minutes all I did was find myself walking around in circles panicking that time was running out.

Out of fear I grabbed a wide leopard print belt. It looked like Reiss (but could have been Next).

By now, things were getting heated. While it mightn’t have been the Primark summer sales, it wasn’t a typical day at Banana Republic, either.

I found myself getting a bit frustrated at one point when I was gently but quickly trying to sift through a wrack to get to a top that I’d spotted, and the woman next to me kept on more roughly sifting the other way.

Then it happened.

As I was heading back into the accessories area I saw, among the items that a girl was holding up, my pink and turquoise peacock dress with ruffled sleeves.

I’d purchased it at Spitafields. It was a no-name brand, but I loved it because of the colours and its black peacock pattern.

She was holding it up in the air, deciding whether she was going to take it home or not.

I stopped, pretending that I was browsing through a wrack to the side, but I had to watch her.

Please please please… I prayed.

And then she did it. She kept it.

I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t know this woman at all. But it didn’t matter. Someone wanted what I once had. It was the biggest style validation of all.

And it was also nice to know that unlike my Aussie alice band – which was now out there, somewhere unknown, in the universe – I knew who was the new, proud owner of my beloved peackcock dress.

I felt happy and sad at the same time.

In summary, I’d taken in seven items and all I’d gotten was three – the leopard print belt, a black V-neck dress with black and white ruffled sleeves that turned out to be too big around the neckline when I got home (I’d be arrested if I wore it) and a fake ostrich feather style jumper with no front (had to get my flattie to show me how to wear it – turns out you’ve got to wear a blouse underneath it, so you don’t show too much cleavage.)

The leopard print belt is probably the only thing I’ll wear, and will probably take the two others to Oxfam.

But swishing, I’d discovered, was a bit like the Melbourne Cup horse race. You were taking a massive gamble and didn’t know what you’d get back.

In this case, it hadn’t been an equal exchange, and normally I’m all about equality.

I’m normally the type of girl who gets frustrated if she returns home from a shopping trip completely empty.

But this time I didn’t care.

I had given a lot more and gotten a lot less back, and it felt good.

VICE STYLE LAUNCH

“THIS IS AS EAST LONDON AS IT GETS”

Alternative magazine Vice launched its sister website ViceStyle at the end of June. The first days of the mag life were kicked off with a party in East London hipster haven The Shoreditch Warehouse. Vice lived up to its queen of quirk label with candy floss and swings suspended from the Warehouse roof for those loaded with the free booze to flail about on.

The club housed two floors and multiple DJs, with Big Pink and Koudlam playing alongside Matthew Stone, Wild Palms, The Flats and The Lovely Jonjo.

The uniform appeared to be top-knots and red lipstick for the female attendees, with T4′s Jameila Jamale following suit for the latter. Amy Winehouse took a night off from sobriety to call in with an enormous bouncer dragging her around all night. Klaxons, Miquita and Pixie Geldof also showed up.

Despite the top floor turning into a slippery sauna and an enormous queue for those invited before it even struck 11, the night was a great success and an excellent welcome to the awaited ViceStyle site.
