4 COOL BIZ

FASHION SHOW

Recently, there have been many more young

people working in offices wearing shorts and sandals in

order to save energy on cooling in summer. With conser-

vation in mind, a Cool Biz fashion show was held in Seoul

on June 5th. The emphasis was on a cooler style rather

than fashionable clothes. And the benefits speak for

themselves.

6 ITOLIER

COOL BEDDING

Customer feedback,

such as "I want natural f iber

produc ts that feel cool," has

prompted Itolier to make their

selec tion of sheets available

all over the world. The sheets

are made of all natural materi-

als, including cotton, bamboo,

hemp, and Japanese paper. They

have become a bit of an industry

secret and with synthetic fiber

allergies on the rise, demand is

likely to increase further.

MORE THAN A THOUSAND WORDS

I t i s s a i d t h a t a p i c t u r e i s w o r t h a t h o u s a n d

words, but what if a pic ture leave s you sp eech-

less? Even a thousand words can’t do justice to the

beaut y and emotion of a well-craf ted photograph.

This is exactly the case with fashion photographer

Joel Stafford.

St a f f o rd ’s u n i q u e a e s t h e ti c s h e d s a di f f e re n t l i g h t

o n f a shio n , w it h a n e m p ha sis o n h ow t h e g a r m e nt s

contribute to the overall emotion of a scene. He does,

however, allow the feel of the clothes to play a par t

in t h e d eve l o p m e nt of a sh o ot . “ M y i d e a of f a shio n

changes my shoot s depending on what garment s I ’m

shooting. If I ’m shooting some very girly vintage style

pieces, I’ll want to create an innocent feel in my shots.

If the pieces are more modern and edgy, then I’ll try to

use my lighting and surroundings to complement the

lines and colour of the garments but not overshadow

th em . T hat ’s wh ere thing s c an get ver y trick y while

s t ay i n g c r e a t i v e .” F o r J o e l , m a i n t a i n i n g a c r e a t i v e

approach to fashion photography is paramount.

W h e n s e t t i n g u p a s h o t , e v e r y e l e m e n t i s m e t i c u -

l o u s l y d e s i g n e d t o p u t t h e v i e w e r i n h i s m i n d s e t .

W i t h e a c h p h o t o g r a p h , h e c o m m u n i c a t e s d i r e c t l y

with his audience, sharing a specific emotional vision,

“b ea ut y, v uln erabilit y, s treng th , inn o cen ce an d th e

l is t g o e s o n . I t h i n k t h e h a r d e s t p a r t is g e t t i n g t h e

m o del in th e fram e of min d that I ’m in an d tr ying to

get her to express those emotions that I need in the

shots. Setting the scene by getting the right location

and wardrobe is the easy par t.” However, despite his

detailed planning, he remains adaptable. “Sometimes

my ideas change w h en on lo c ation for th e b et ter or

f o r t h e w o r s e , b u t t h e te a m I c h o o s e o n my s h o ot s

is p rofessional an d is always rea dy an d p repare d as

much as possible so we can get the job done.”

T his a da p t a b il it y c a n b e at t rib u te d to his v ie w s o n

the role of fashion in photography;

“FASHION IS FOREVER EVOLVING AND B E C A U S E O F T H AT, T H E W AY S W E C A P T U R E T H E S E FA S H I O N S E VO LV E WITH IT, WHICH KEEPS IT E XCITIN G . I LOVE THAT.”

With such an appreciation for new challenges, we can

look for ward to many more creative shoots from Joel

in the future.

M a ny p h o to g r a p h e r s h ave a c o m p li c a te d re la t i o n -

his signature s t yle . T h e light is as much a chara c ter

as the model, assuming the role of ally or antagonist

according to his design.

Inspiration comes from a variety of sources, “a photo,

a movie, music , clothing , or even just from a conver-

s a t i o n w i t h f r i e n d s .” H o w e v e r, h e a d m i t s t h a t h i s

e dn e ss an d his thirs t for creative collab oration are

reflected in the diversity of his style.

Joel Staf ford is a photographer whose compositions

give us a heav y dose of humanit y an d a glimpse into

the mind of the man behind the lens. His passion and

excitement for fashion photography shines through

clearly in ever y shot he takes. “I love creating photos

t h a t h av e t h e s e c e r t a i n e m o t i o n s ; w h e n I t a ke t h e

an d see that ever y thing has com e togeth er an d I ’ve

nailed the shot … oh, it ’s the best feeling!”

TOKUNAI FLAIR

H airstyles are often overlooked, but with summer just

round the corner, you can look no further than Toku-

n a i H a i r. A S c hw a r z ko p f p r o f e s s i o n a l s a l o n a n d m o d e l

management agency combined, Tokunai is talented in more

than just one way. Based in Cairns, Australia, the salon paves

the way for fashion with cutting edge hairstyles. Owner and

director Krystle Tokunai, a full-fledged artist in her own right,

bagged a nomination for Hilton Cairns "Young Entrepreneur

of the Year" in 2009. Her determination and forward-looking

visions continue to carry her far. Meriting numerous achieve-

ments, Krystle became a Cairns Eye “Woman to Watch” just

one year later and made her way up to the role of style director

at the Mercedes Fashion Passport show in June 2011.

With a penchant for new fangled ideas, Tokunai Hair of fers

m o re t ha n ju s t t h e ave ra ge s e r v ice s , p rov i din g ma ke - u p ,

choreography, photography and models. Having participated

in numerous fashion shows, Krystle has naturally developed a

taste for fashion. When asked what her favorite look was for

Spring /Summer 2012, Krystle replied with a twinkling in her

eye, "Elie Saab. The Paris Haute Couture Collection has lots of

pretty pastel and floral gowns,” whilst currently her favorite

local collection is La Lune's “Emerald City.”

Giving way to her creative desires, Krystle launched a fashion

show entitled Runway Limited in 2008. "Hair influences fashion

as much as fashion influences hair." With her credibility in play,

Krystle was able to bring attention to the new artistic talents

that make up Cairns fashion today. "Cairns lacked a fashion

stage for either hair fashion or local designers, so I decided to

bring the two together … We have seen more and more local

designers coming forward to present their collections.” Hair

fashion is certainly not virgin territory, but with Runway Limit-

ed being more openly theatrical, we can all look for ward to

designers getting very creative with their looks.

For this issue's shoot, Kr ystle's cultural finesse brings us to

the intrepid edges of a rocky mountainous facade. She admits,

"the location for this shoot has always been on my mind, every

time I drove past it I thought 'I need to do a shoot there one

day.’" A Adopting it as this season's muse, she designed the

hair, makeup and fashion around the location and backdrop.

The weathered surfaces of the natural rock formations are a

testament to the dexterity of Krystle's talent, as they accent

th e p ris tin e c ut s of h e r e dg y hair s t y le s . B ut , it wa sn' t all

hunk y dor y. "There was a hitch . The location was on a clif f

facing the side of the road and the models had to climb down

the side of the cliff and sit on the rocks." Did I mention it was

thirty degrees out?

Evoking a sense of modern glamour, fashion design duo Sonlia

successfully captures the mood. "The garments against the

backdrop give you a 3-dimensional effect, which enhances the

hair and the smoothness of the style."

Take it from Kr ystle, when asked to share her tips for great

summer hair she discloses the popularity of the ombre tech-

nique - the colour gradation from the crown of the head down,

from dark to light. "We're seeing it done in different ways and

colours - pastels are very big at the moment, hints of lavender

and pink are a must this season." So if you fancy a daring stunt

this season, you know what to look for.

With such a great variety of hairstyles constantly being creat-

ed, it is to no surprise that Krystle finds it difficult to quote a

favorite, but she will say this, "hair finishes a look, it's an acces-

sory, a must, and without it your style can never be complete."

loveable and often involve craftwork such as appli-

qué, crochet and tie-dye. Romance Was Born is one

I f you’re a lover of life with its passionate colours

as “very talented women.”

“Parson’s in N YC really form e d m e an d gave m e th e

discipline that I needed to do what I do.”

BACK TO THE BASICS

W IT H B ECKIB O OS

J ust like an exciting roller coaster ride, her clean lines

flow, loop and curve to create airy and playful fashion

illustrations.

Fashion has become a mammoth multi-billion dollar indus-

try, yet Rebecca Elliston's simple and feminine illustrations

highlight the essence of fashion and the pure joy it brings.

Rebecca, a 24-year-old up-and-coming fashion illustrator

from Preston, England, draws inspiration from many sourc-

es, from fashion editorials to the dark circles around her

eyes, and she's constantly trying to incorporate new tech-

niques and master her craft.

W hether they sp or t a frilly teal or yellow dress , a s t yl-

ish salmon pink or emerald green rain coat, bright red lips

topped with a smooth wav y up do or a wildly curly mane,

her charming and stylish characters all don the Elliston (also

known as BeckiBoos) signature, thin black rings around

the eyes. She begins her illustrations with basic pencil and

paper sketches, then infuses them with interesting textures,

soft and bold colors and shadows using Photoshop.

Although her passion is drawing, Rebecca also enjoys shar-

ing her work and creative process on her blog and getting

feedback on it. With her constant drive for improvement

and passion for fashion illustration, Rebecca is one bright

star to look out for.

is their strongest trait; they ’d

r a t h e r d i e f r o m h u n g e r t h a n

take bread from someone they

dislike. An apolog y will quickly

douse their fiery anger.

VIRGO 8/23 – 9/22

Virgos seem hard to get to know,

but once they are shown gentle-

n e s s a n d k i n d n e s s , t h e y w i l l

always stand by their friends.

CAPRICORN 12/22 – 1/19

Goats need people and love

co m pa ny, b ut th ey n ever

want to admit that they are lone-

ly. Their reserved nature means

w h e n t h e y n e e d a h u g , t h e y

w il l n e ve r b e t h e f ir s t o n e to

open their arms. They're often

misun ders to o d , b e c ause th ey

don't like to explain themselves;

sometimes, what they think and

what they say are opposites

GEMINI 5/21 – 6/21

Th e t w i n s h av e c h a r a c te r s

but underneath it all , they are

instinctively honest and loyal.

CANCER 6/22 – 7/22

Crabs hide their sadness and

pretend to be happy. Often

they show their mature hear ts

in caring for and helping friends,

b u t d e e p i n t h e i r m i n d s t h e y

hope for comfort and security.

Their secrets will only be shared

with those closest to them. Their

until noon on the weekend.

SAGITTARIUS 11/22 – 12/21

Saggis can get a little obses-

sive about checking things:

have they closed the window?

Locked the door? Turned off the

t a p? T h ey l ove to c o ll e c t a n d

h o a r d o l d t h i n g s ; a f avo u r i te

book can be reread many times,

a favourite song can be listened

to for years.

LEO 7/23 – 8/22

Li o n ’s d e s i r e t o c o n t r o l i s

strong, but in fact it comes

from a lack of security. They love

dressing up and take great care

with their appearance. Whether

at work or play, passionate Leo

shines warmth and light on people

like the sun. They keep their lone-

ly hearts hidden and resist letting

others into their minds.

PISCES 2/19 – 3/20

Fishes adore food and when

t h e y f i n d a n e w d i s h t h e y

possessive in love.

TAURUS 4/20 – 5/20

Al t h o u g h t h e y a r e v e r y

trusting, bulls need to feel

secure with people before they

s h a r e w h a t t h e y 'r e t h i n k i n g .

T h e y d o n' t l ike b e in g a ro u n d

people who don't have the same

ideals, because when they are

misunderstood, they feel they

have to explain themselves. They

are bored by routine work, but

need their rest on the weekends.

LIBRA 9/23 – 10/22

Lib rans are go o d at p ut ting

themselves in other’s shoes

and have a lot of empathy. They

h a v e a g o o d r e p u t a t i o n a n d

show a kind and friendly face to

ever yon e th ey m eet , b ut only

their family and closest friends

k n ow th eir hi d d e n c ha ra c te r.

O cc asionally, they show their

childlike nature.

AQUARIUS 1/20 – 2/18

Water b earer s are clever

and hard working. Many

geniuse s an d talente d p e ople

are born under this sign. Aquar-

ia n's h i d d e n c h a r a c te ris ti c is

stubbornness: even when they

know something is wrong, they

still continue. They hate making

choices; finding that they have

c h o s e n t h e w r o n g o u t f i t w i l l

bother them all day until they

can change.
