N O V E L T Y Mykro Magazine is Back

N O V E L T Y Mykro Magazine is Back


 photo loveaestheticsmyrko0.jpg

Do you remember Mykromag? Pioneer as the first true androgynous fashion magazine exclusively in black and white (2009). Founded by Sonny Groo who has had an incredible eye for what is now and has always managed to bring the most interesting features; Formicetti, Iris van Herpen, Guillame Henri, JW Anderson to name a few and also projects like a printed a set of books in collaboration with Rad Hourani.(If you’ve been reading my blog long enough you might remember that I also used to be a regular contributor to the Mykromag blog).

But the Black and white pages of Mykro (minus the mag) are back. With a small team based in Amsterdam theyve made it happen after a two year break. It somewhat reminds me of interview magazine in the way that it shows a very personal and human side of the fashion industry. The 12 interviews in this issue include 91 year old Eileen Ford founder of Ford models, Tumblr s Fashion evangelist (thats right, this is an official title) Valentine Uhovski, Esteban Cortezar and the iconic miss Daphne Guinness.


Mykro is a quarterly publication,
available at Colette, Paris and
Athenaeum, Amsterdam
Next issue will be launched during the first week of October.

N O V E L T Y Menswear Neil Barrett ss14

N O V E L T Y Menswear Neil Barrett ss14


 photo loveaestheticsneil0.jpg

 photo loveaestheticsneil000.jpg

Ive almost grown to love menswear more than womenswear. Perhaps because menswear is somewhat more restricted, the silhouettes dont change every season as radically as they can in womenswear and it is focussed more on appreciating details, fabrics and tailoring. Trends are much more subtle and individual pieces often much more classical.

Im a huge fan of Neil Barretts vision of spring summer 2014. Inspiration for the collection included the modernist work of Charles and Ray Eames, particularly the shape of the iconic curvy Eames chair. But also 1990s lumberjack plaid shirts, the red/black white/black kind. Barrett magnified the plaid pattern creating a larger, simplified block pattern. The last suited the Nirvana songs to which the boys walked down the runway so well. Besides the graphic prints, the garments were kept as clean as possible, all buttons, fasteners, zippers were hidden and jackets were held together with magnetic closures.

Although these clothes are literally the future and itll be a year until we see them on the streets, it could have also been last years or next years collection. Like the Eames chair, designed more than 50 years ago but still fresh and modern as ever, I cant imagine this ever going out of style.

N O V E L T Y Harim Jung Mini Interview

N O V E L T Y Harim Jung Mini Interview






Photography, Dominik Tarabanski
Set Design, Zu Sb
Fashion Design, Harim Jung
Makeup, Francisca Saavedra
Hairstyle, Takayoshi Tsukisawa

Yesterday I stumbled upon these gorgeous images made by Polish photographer Dominik Tarabanski.
But what struck me the most were the designs by Parsons student Harim Jung. Specially the techniques she used to build her clothes is incredibly exciting: the technical way she deconstructed the
garments and worked with the patterns, layering them , leaving them loose from the rest of the garment and then applying beautiful luxe finishings like a metal gold strip.
It even reminded me a bit of the dress with layered patterns from Hussein Chalayan.
Harim has been selected as one of the 14 Parsons student for the Empowering Imagination competition, Im keeping my fingers crossed for her!


/Update
Managed to contact Harim Jung (thank you anonymous for leaving a link to her website!) and she was so kind to answer a few questions:

/Can you please tell me a bit about the fabrics and materials that you used?
My inspiration first started from my high school uniform so I wanted the fabrics to carry the essence of it. The navy pieces were mainly wool fabrics, where as the white pieces were mainly cotton resembling the white shirt of the uniform. The brass is an additional element that comes from my experience back in high school where we couldnt wear any accessories due to the schools policy, so I designed the brass to accessorize the clothes rather than the body.

/What are your plans after graduation?
I would love to continue with my own work at the same time I am open to experiencing any opportunities that come in my way!


/In the style.com interview you mentioned that youd like keep your garments accessible, how do you do that, do you keep functionality in mind a lot when designing?
Because the entire process of my thesis was very experimental, I didnt want to make clothes that people had a hard time wearing. The collection was about sharing my story, my memories, yet providing an experience for the wearer to create their own and interpret the pieces in their own way. I also focused on creating pieces for anyone to wear and have access to. Ultimately the goal was to to find a happy medium between the creativity and the accessibility

 photo LOVEAESTHETICSJEFMONTESBACKSTAGE0000.jpg

Attending the Jef Montes show at Vodafone Firsts Fashion Lab was like attending a ritual from another planet.

The image of a burning communion candle appears behind the runway. The first girl comes out, holding two blue tubes in her hands like candles and steadily walks down the runway to a slow beat. Halfway she suddenly, yet slowly turns around the tubes and blue ink starts pouring out over her chest, staining the white gauze dress and leaving a blood like trail behind on the runway (see video!). The following models step through the ink, staining the bottom of their gowns and shoes and spreading the blue fluid.

Dripping wet hair and bleached brows. The blue fiberglass pieces are so shiny and smooth in the way they move that they seem liquid. The references to traditional catholicism and this high tech futuristic outcome. Hearing Jef explain all his hard work and thoughts behind it personally (little details like; embroideries are on the left side because thats where your heart is), and seeing the finished product of his ideas right next to him was incredibly moving.

The amount of techniques, the extensive fabric researching that has gone into this collection blew my mind. Fiberglass weavings, burnt silk to create a pattern, steaming and heating synthetics to make the fabric bulge and appear wet, tiny tiny beaded details, hand painted fiberglass panels, wool binded to fiberglass just to name a few things. No matter how many backstage pictures, ultra close ups or live videos you show, there is nothing like seeing these couture pieces in real life. Kudos to Jef.

Mothers Day Special Blog n Vid Flyin Mommas!

Mothers Day Special Blog n Vid Flyin Mommas!


#mothersday #avgeek #aviation #blog

mom, momma, mommy, ma, 2013


Today we honor those daring young women in their flyin machines!

This pilot biz is tough enough as it is.  Wannabe pilots spend years of training and tens of thousands of dollars on the mere hope of a successful airline career.  But, historically, this has been a notoriously "macho" business.  From before the days of Amelia Earhart, "aviatrixes" have had to contend with that great glass ceiling in the sky—every single day they strap into the cockpit.

To that end, today we honor those women—many of them mommies—who have had a hand in this tough business.  Some are pilots, some are flight attendants, some are "stay at home pilots wives"...but ALL have overcome the odds to "make it!"


Karlene Petitt, over at "Flight to Success" (http://karlenepetitt.blogspot.com), is an A330 pilot for a major U.S. airline, and is a very prolific blogger and succesful author of the novel, Flight for Control.  In her own words: "A wife of 31 years, mother of 3 gorgeous daughters, grandmother of Kadence, Miles, Khoyn, Carter, Ellis and Anthony. A pilot for 8 airlines, 7 type ratings, 2 masters degrees, and my 1st novel, Flight For Control, is published!"  Mrs. Petitt is now working on the first sequel, Flight For Safety.

Just this past week on our wildly popular BLOGGING IN FORMATION series, Mrs. Petitt wrote about her struggles as a female dreaming to be a pilot, in a time when "girls dont fly."  Read it here: http://tinyurl.com/bp534ye





Heres to YOU, Mommy Petitt!
—and, where do you find the time?

Joanna over at "Daddy...Daddy, Come Back!" (http://comebackdaddy.blogspot.com/) and "Pilot Wife Healthy Minute Meals" (http://pilotwifehealthyminutemeals.blogspot.com/) blogs quite candidly about the life of a pilots wife and mommy—warts and all.  Her life is not for the faint hearted!


Happy Mommys Day, Joanna!

————————

mom, momma, mommy, ma, 2013, airline, aviation, avgeek, A330

Another aviation blogger and mommy is the host of one of my all-time favorite blogs...Miss TWA of http://misstwa.blogspot.com.  Shes got a wonderful, zany, haphazard writing style that is sure to put a smile on any readers face...


even if we all really do "Miss TWA!"

Happy Mothers Day, Miss T!

————————


And no aviation mommies list would be complete without a salute to our intrepid "waitresses in the sky"—who in real life are highly trained and poised to save your lily a$$es in an inflight emergency—the Flight Attendant!


I would especially like to thank one of my personal favorites, Mary "Mug" Ann, who has been specially trained to serve ol Capn Aux his coffee in a preheated mug!  Uh, that is, as long as Capn Aux is nice to her first!

 


Between flying the often un-friendly skies and rasing her three rambunctious, twenty-something boys, Ms. Ann finds the time to be a competetive body builder—who consistently places in the Top 3!

Happy Mothers Day, Mary Mug!

 airline, aviation, avgeek, A320, novel, best seller

Mary Mugs eldest son, Gino, is the talented graphic designer of the excellent new cover for The Last Bush Pilots!

And speaking of the Last Bush Pilots, one of my readers most beloved characters is a female "aviatrix" trying to cut a respectable niche in the notoriously macho bush pilot world—while escaping a dangerous past.

Well wrap up this tribute to our favorite female aviators with her story:

(Warning: this story is seriously PG-13+!)



CHAPTER 8:  Veronica Onassis Redding

The day her husband backhanded her into the china cabinet was not the day she left him.  Nor was it the time he bragged to her of the many waitresses on his truck route impatiently awaiting his services.  Nor the day he forced her to bare her breasts in front of his buddies to show off his prized property.  Not even the time he threw his plate of roast turkey back at her for being too cold, sending her to the emergency room for eight stitches to the forehead.  Afterward, she apologized to him for being so clumsy and inattentive to his needs, and he forgave her by mounting her briefly until getting off.
For Veronica Redding to leave her loving husband, it nearly took suicide.
Ever since she was a kid, Veronica dreamed of flying.  She would sit on her father’s shoulders and stick her arms out to each side, blonde locks flying and lips Brrr-ing as he trotted through the park.  When she was five, he took her on a small plane tour over their home town of Los Angeles.
Veronica was awestruck.  All those cars below looked like toy matchboxes, the people like ants.  The thrill of accelerating and pulling away from the earth’s gravity, like an angel flying to heaven.  And, perhaps most thrilling of all, the powerful aircraft responded so obediently to the pilot’s commands.  It was nothing short of magic.  She trembled with delight when, after the flight, the grey-haired pilot pinned a pair of plastic wings to her blouse.
Little did Daddy know, from that day on the hook was set.  Veronica was determined to become a pilot.
Later, Sergeant Robert Redding, U.S. Army, realized how serious his daughter was of the fool notion.  He sat her down on his knee and explained.
He said, “Honey, girls don’t become pilots.  All pilots come from the Air Force or the Army or Navy.  There is no such thing as an airline aviatrix.”
“But what about Amelia Earhart, Daddy?  She did it,” she said.
He laughed.  “Sure, and look what happened.  Her dingy, female sense of direction got herself lost at sea.”
At high school, guidance counselors, male and female alike, also urged her to reconsider her crazy dream and instead become something more palatable with society.  Say, a homemaker or a nurse.
But their “sage advice” clashed head-on with her dream, and she would have nothing of it.
One night at the dinner table, the Sergeant learned of the counsellors’ talk and his daughter’s disappointment.  He said, “Look, if you really want to fly, why not become a stewardess?”
Mother lay a hand on hers.  “Your father’s right, dear.  Who knows?  Maybe you could find a rich husband that way, maybe even a real pilot.”
Shaking her head, she said, “I don’t wanna marry a pilot.  I want to be a pilot.”
He slammed his fork down.  “Enough of this nonsense,” her father snapped.
“Now, Sam,” her mother interjected.  “Let’s not—”
“She’ll do what I tell her to do,” he said.
“Yes, sir,” Mother said meekly.
Veronica threw her fork down.  “I’ll do what I want, goddamnit!”  She bit her lip, too late to catch the slip.
Crimson-faced, the Sergeant raised up, his shadow eclipsing her small frame.  He slapped her so hard she fell to the floor.
“Go to your room,” he boomed, “and don’t come out till you stop talking your idiotic little girl nonsense.”
Veronica sat at her vanity mirror, eyeing the welt as it grew and colored on the side of her face.  Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted the plastic wings pinned to the wooden frame.
Perhaps Daddy was right, she thought.  Girls, especially stupid ones like little Veronica Redding, didn’t have the capacity to become pilots.  She blushed in shame.  She yanked the wings off, tossed them in the bottom drawer and mumbled, “Might as well try to be an astronaut.”
She became despondent, lost, a plane without a rudder.  Her grades dropped.  Each night she came home late, in deliberate defiance of her father’s authority.  He spanked her, whipped her, grounded her; she would sneak out again.  Each confrontation drove the wedge further between the two.  After her high school graduation party, she didn’t come home until late the next day, still drunk.
“You’re impossible, young lady,” her father screamed between belt straps.  “What you need is boot camp.  First thing Monday morning, we’re taking you to the recruiters and you’re joining the Army.  Teach you some discipline.  Hah!  Try telling them you want to be a pilot.”
That Monday, Veronica snuck out early, withdrew her life savings from the bank, and left.  Plastic wings pinned to her backpack, she stuck a thumb out on the interstate.
She was seventeen, but a very naive and sheltered seventeen.  She was heartbroken, scared, lonely.  And strangely relieved.
Liberated, somehow.  She could go anywhere, do anything, be anyone.  Her destiny lay in the power of her own tiny hands.  Remembering her silly old dream, she chuckled.  “Hell, I could even become an aviatrix,” she mumbled with a roll of the eyes.  But she knew she was too poor and too stupid.  Daddy had made sure she knew that.
In a truck stop between Tulsa and Oklahoma City, her plans—and her life—derailed.
His name was John Bolt, and like his namesake, he struck her like lightning.  He was tall, handsome, suave and worldly.  He had traveled all over the States in his rig, and he made it sound as exciting as a flying circus.
Spellbound, she lost herself in his endless, dark brown eyes.  From beneath a crop of slick black hair, they blazed at her with enthusiasm.
With one comment, he hooked her.  He said, “Drivin’ a big rig’s like bein’ captain of an airplane.”
Bolt bought the starving, wide-eyed girl a slice of lemon meringue pie and reeled her in.  He said, “You’re your own boss.  You take orders from nobody.  And you can go damn well wherever you please.”  He sat back and crossed his arms.  “Hell, it ain’t no big thing.  Why a cute little missy like you could do it.”
Drive an eighteen-wheeler!  So maybe it wasn’t an airplane, she thought, but it seemed the closest she’d ever get.  That night she left with him.
In the same night, she learned to drive a big rig and please a man.
The next two months were pure bliss.  Everything seemed so right.  In Reno, days after her eighteenth birthday, Miss Veronica Redding became Mrs. John Bolt.  His next road trip became their honeymoon, after which he moved her into his small Ulysses, Kansas trailer.
She called her parents to tell them the good news.  Against her mother’s pleas, the Sergeant hung up on her.  Abandoned, all she had left was her new husband.
But Mr. Bolt soon tired of the new Mrs. Bolt.  He began leaving her at home on trips.  And when he returned, his home never seemed to be in the order he liked.  She could do nothing right by him.  The young bride’s cooking was atrocious, he told her, and any decision on her part turned into disaster.  He made sure she knew, both physically and mentally, that he had married a worthless mess.
For six years she endured his abuse.  She couldn’t remember a world without John Bolt.  Each time he left on a trip, she dreaded his return yet longed for it, never knowing whether he would walk through the door bearing flowers or fists.  She filled the void of his absence with cigarettes and alcohol and food.  Over the years, she loaded her thin frame down with pounds of physical and emotional baggage.
His trips became longer.  Days went by without a phone call.  Finally, after two weeks away without a word, he called to tell her he’d picked up yet another run.
“When will you come home?” she asked him, her voice pleading, her words slurred by vodka.
“Come home to what?” he snapped.  “A fat, drunken pig in a stye?  I’ll be back sometime next week, if I feel like it.  Hell, I may never feel like it.”  He hung up.
She flew into a blind rage.  Minutes later, she sat crumpled on the floor in a pile of shattered dishes, broken ceramic statuettes and smashed bottles of booze.  Through the alcoholic fog and the raining tears, she realized that, upon seeing the mess, he would kill her.  Or worse, leave her for good.
Might as well spare him the pain, she thought.
She crawled through the rubble to John’s gun cabinet.  With trembling fist, she pounded the glass until it shattered.  She did not feel her sliced palm.  When she retracted her hand, it held an ancient Colt .45 handgun, loaded.  She put it to her head.
Everything went dark.
She was an angel now, her spirit flying away from her dead, battered human carcass, up through the roof and into the heavens.  She looked down and saw John Bolt.  He yelled at her to come back down, fists shaking above his head in rage.  But from way up here, her husband’s voice sounded comically high.  His rig looked like a matchbox, and he like an ant.
She woke up laughing.  She had no idea how long she had passed out.  Veronica looked at her hand.  The glass cuts, while deep, wouldn’t be permanent.  She stared at the pistol for one long minute.  She again lifted it and aimed, this time at a photo hanging on the wall.  A photo of John Bolt.
She pulled the trigger.  The rusty hammer jammed.  She looked at the gun quizzically.  Suddenly, the hammer dropped.  A loud explosion ripped through her ears.  The kick knocked the pistol from her hand.  Once again everything went dark; the bullet had hit the table lamp.
Her mouth, open in astonishment, slowly changed to a faint smile, then a larger one, then a Cheshire grin.  The grin turned to a chuckle, then a laugh.  She guffawed hysterically, rolling on the floor, her hands wrapped about her stomach.
She picked herself off the floor, walked to the bathroom, and showered for the last time in John Bolt’s home.  She dressed the wounds on her hand, then dug through her junk drawer.
Finally she found it, buried in the back.  Her most prized possession:  her plastic wings.  She pinned them to her chest.
She wrote him a ’Dear John’ letter.  This note, however, read slightly different:

Dear Auntie Em,
Hate you.  Hate Kansas.  Left for Oz.
Dorothy

In three days she hocked his car, pawned his furniture, cleaned out his bank account and maxed every credit card with cash advance.  That done, she took one final look around the wrecked and deserted home.
“To hell with you,” she said, and left for the farthest place from Kansas she could think of:  Alaska.
From Anchorage she called her mother.  Her father grabbed the receiver and yelled, “It was unforgivable of you to marry that man without our consent.  But even so, a wife should be loyal to her husband under any circumstances.  And now you have the gall to call us and blame him for your failure.”
This time it was she who hung up.
Divorce was foremost on her mind, but she feared the proceedings would flush her out.  To her great relief, she found that her marriage had never existed; there had been a previous Mrs. John Bolt, and still was.
Nevertheless, she knew her life was still in danger.  She cut and dyed her California locks and became just another Alaska brunette.  But appearance alone was not enough to escape him.
By court order of the State of Alaska, Miss Veronica Onassis Redding became Miss Holly Shannon Innes.
At an abuse crisis center in Fairbanks, Holly Innes began intense therapy.  But more than shrink sessions and weight loss regimens were needed to rebuild her.
Her counselor quickly found the key.  At Fairbanks International Airport, he enrolled her in flight school.
The change was dramatic and immediate.  Her first day of flying did more for her mental recovery than a year of therapy.  The booty snatched from John Bolt paid for lessons.  How appropriate, she thought, to use a nightmare to bankroll a dream.
After her first solo flight, she wept tears of joy.
