Chanel Iman Godchaux is a model and founder of the home, baby, and lifestyle brand Chasa. In 2006, at age 15, Chanel won third place in the Ford Models Supermodel of the World contest and signed with Ford shortly after. Over the next few years, she rocketed to stardom, appearing on the covers of almost every major fashion publication, including Vogue, Teen Vogue, and Vogue Korea. In 2010, she became a Victoria's Secret angel, and Vogue France named her one of the top 30 models of the decade. In the years since, she's expanded her horizons, pursuing new career avenues. She's dipped her toe into acting, fashion, and retail, culminating last year in the launch of Chasa. The project is close to her heart; the collection features luxurious blankets, candles, and robes—all inspired by the items that helped her find a sense of home throughout her modeling career. Godchaux just recently released a new collection that includes children's robes, luxe candles, and spa bundles for the ultimate self-care day.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Originally published by The Stinging Fly Press in Ireland on 2015, Claire-Louise Bennett's POND found a wider audience with its UK publisher, the then nascent Fitzcarraldo Editions—the paradigm-shifting house that is currently celebrating its 10th birthday. POND is an extraordinarily erudite book, which wears that erudition extraordinarily lightly. It could be understood as being in dialogue with writers such as Huysmans, Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, John Berger, as well as with any number of contemporary authors who feel determined that their books should be about something. But POND is also funny, earthy, dirty, silly, profound and confounding. In short, it is unlike anything else, the kind of book that defies the “if you liked this, you'll like that” algorithm. Just the kind of book we love at S&Co.Buy Pond: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/pond*Claire-Louise Bennett grew up in Wiltshire and studied literature and drama at the University of Roehampton, before moving to Ireland where she worked in and studied theatre for several years. In 2013 she was awarded the inaugural White Review Short Story Prize and went on to complete her debut book, Pond, which was shortlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize in 2016. Checkout 19 was published by Jonathan Cape in 2021 and was part of the New York Times 10 Best Books of 2022 Selection.Claire-Louise's fiction and essays have appeared in a number of publications including The White Review, The Stinging Fly, gorse, Harper's Magazine, Vogue Italia, Music & Literature, and The New York Times magazine. She also writes about art and is a frequent contributor to frieze. In addition she has written for Tate etc., and Artforum, and a number of international exhibition catalogues. In 2016 she was writer-in-residence at Temple Bar Gallery & Studio. In 2020, Milan based art publisher Juxta Press published Fish Out Of Water, an essay Claire-Louise wrote in response to a self-portrait painting by Dorothea Tanning.

Flavia Capitani"A Parigi con Serge Gainsbourg"Giulio Perrone Editorewww.giulioperroneditore.comProvocatore, innovatore, rivoluzionario nella musica e nel costume, un uomo pieno di contraddizioni. Serge Gainsbourg nasce da genitori ebrei russi fuggiti alla rivoluzione bolscevica, cresce nella Parigi povera e insalubre di Pigalle. Studia pittura all'Accademia di Montmartre ma da un giorno all'altro distrugge tutti i suoi quadri per darsi a quella che lui considera un'arte minore, la musica. Negli anni Cinquanta si esibisce nei locali jazz di Saint-Germain, nel '69 con J'ai t'aime… Moi non plus compie una rivoluzione culturale insieme a Jane Birkin, che è stata la sua compagna, la sua musa ma anche la sua creatrice. Dieci anni dopo scandalizza la Francia con una Marsigliese reggae. In un viaggio tra ieri e oggi Flavia Capitani ci porta alla scoperta della sua Parigi, dalla Rive droite, in origine approdo di esuli e ora di gran moda, alla Rive gauche, borghese e chic. E ci fa entrare nella casa-tempio al 5 di rue de Verneuil, diventata museo, da dove Gainsbourg partiva per le sue nottate alcoliche con le Gitanes sempre in tasca.Flavia Capitani giornalista, si occupa di spettacolo, cinema, cultura, vive a Roma ma ha soggiornato a lungo a Parigi.Lavora da vent'anni per un'agenzia di stampa nazionale, ha collaborato in passato con Rai, «Il Venerdì» e «D» di «Repubblica», «Marie Claire», «Vogue Italia». Ha scritto con Emanuele Coen A Est (Einaudi) e La città dentro (Polaris), e curato per la casa editrice Laterza Pecore nere e Amori bicolori.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.
Biba Giacchetti"L'arte della fotografia di moda: Giampaolo Barbieri"E' scomparso all‘età di 89 anni Gian Paolo Barbieri, una vera istituzione nell'ambito della fotografia di moda. I suoi ritratti iconici di dive di ieri e di oggi, come Audrey Hepburn e Monica Bellucci, e la sua lunga collaborazione con Vogue Italia, hanno reso il suo stile inconfondibile.Nato nel 1935 in via Mazzini, appena a fianco del Duomo di Milano, da una famiglia di grossisti di tessuti dove acquisì le prime competenze utili per la fotografia di moda, Barbieri mosse i suoi primi passi nell'ambito teatrale come attore, operatore e costumista, tanto che ebbe anche una piccola parte non parlata in Medea di Luchino Visconti. Fu il cinema a dargli quel senso del movimento che trasferì nella fotografia, prima applicata alla Dolce vita romana e poi alla moda, a Parigi.Nel 1964 il ritorno a Milano e l'apertura del primo studio fotografico: iniziò in quel momento quella sfolgorante e sessantennale carriera che lo portò a collaborare con personaggi di primo piano della moda come Diana Vreeland, Yves Saint Laurent e Richard Avedon, a ritrarre le attrici più iconiche di tutti i tempi, da Audrey Hepburn a Veruschka, da Monica Bellucci a Jerry Hall, a scattare le campagne pubblicitarie di marchi internazionali come Valentino, Gianni Versace, Gianfranco Ferré, Armani, Bulgari, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana, Vivienne Westwood.Classificato nel 1968 dalla rivista Stern come uno dei quattordici migliori fotografi di moda al mondo, nel 2018 Barbieri ha vinto il premio Lucie Award 2018 come Miglior Fotografo di Moda Internazionale. Le sue opere sono presenti in istituzioni culturali come il Victoria & Albert Museum e la National Portrait Gallery di Londra, il Kunsforum di Vienna, il MAMM di Mosca e il Musée du Quai Branly di Parigi. Steve McCurry "Children"Dal 20 dicembre 2024 al 4 maggio 2025 le sale del Palazzo dei Priori di Fermo ospitano la mostra Steve McCurry - Children, ideata e curata da Biba Giacchetti. Oltre cinquanta fotografie dedicate all'infanzia vista attraverso l'obiettivo del grande fotografo Steve McCurry, realizzate nell'arco di quasi cinquant'anni di carriera.Una galleria di ritratti per esplorare tutte le sfaccettature dell'infanzia, accomunate da un elemento universale: lo sguardo dell'innocenza. Le immagini, provenienti da ogni angolo del mondo, ritraggono i più piccoli in scene di vita quotidiana. I bambini negli scatti di McCurry, pur diversi per etnia, abiti e tradizioni, condividono la gioia di vivere e la capacità di giocare anche nei contesti più difficili, spesso segnati da povertà, conflitti o condizioni ambientali estreme. Il pubblico sarà accompagnato in un viaggio ideale in paesi come India, Birmania, Pakistan, Tibet, Afghanistan, Libano, Etiopia e Cuba.“Ogni immagine offre uno spaccato delle condizioni sociali più disparate, rivelando una condizione umana universale fatta di sentimenti comuni e sguardi che affermano la stessa dignità”, spiega la curatrice.“Incontriamo bambini profughi e lavoratori, giovani che trasformano un cannone arrugginito in un gioco, che rincorrono un pallone sotto la pioggia, che creano musica con chitarre fatte di materiali di scarto. Bambini che vivono nelle grandi metropoli o nei villaggi più remoti, protagonisti di storie di gioia e aggregazione, solitudine e resilienza, solidarietà e stupore”.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

As quoted on Wikipedia, “Georgine is a women's ready-to-wear brand founded by the designer Georgine Ratelband in New York City. Even before completing her graduation from design school in 2011, her thesis-collection of designs was acquired by a boutique in Antwerp, Belgium and was presented at New York Fashion Week. The designs have been featured in Women's Wear Daily, W Magazine and Vogue Italia.

Get ready for an exciting and artistic episode of Wear Who You Are! Host Natalie Tincher invites the incredibly talented Miles Aldridge into a vibrant discussion that dives deep into the captivating worlds of art, photography, and storytelling through image. This deeply artistic Industry Insider episode revolves primarily on image making and photography (including fashion photography), as well as how to nurture a fulfilling creative life. Recording from his studio in London, Miles shares the value of maintaining a distinct separation between his work and home life, emphasizing how the division enhances his focus on each. Miles details his meticulous approach to photography and art, detailing the evolution of his ideas from sketching and planning, and then how a tension between ambition and practical constraints of a shoot ultimately play out. Natalie and Miles also explore the impact of digital media on the fashion photography landscape, the importance of Vogue Italia in fashion and art, and how Miles plants seeds (or clues) in his photographs to create a rich visual narrative. With plenty of banter, this episode is packed with creative sparks as Natalie and Miles explore the elements that make art come alive.Connect with Miles Aldridge:WebsiteInstagramFollow Us:Follow the podcast on social media, and submit your questions by sending us a message here!@bustyle@natalie_tincherCheck out the website for more info at www.bu.styleSign Up for Nat's NewsletterRate, Review, & Subscribe to the podcast on Apple & SpotifyThis Podcast is brought to you by Upstarter Podcast Network

In this episode, we welcome artist and tastemaker Josh Young. After living in Milan for six years, Josh returned to the U.S. and launched Josh Young Design House in 2017, gaining recognition for his distinctive art style and home designs. His work has appeared in major publications such as Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, and Vogue Italia. In his debut book, Artful Home, Josh takes us through his artistic journey, his homes, and his creative process for blending modern and classical elements. In our convo, Josh shares how his European experience shaped his design philosophy and offers fantastic tips for curating a stylish, balanced home. What You'll Hear On This Episode: Josh's journey from a small town in Pennsylvania to studying art in Milan and how this experience influenced his design approach. His debut book, Artful Home, and how it explores five artistic principles: palette, texture, form, nostalgia, and layers. How the book process helped him crystallize the connection between his art and home decor. Josh's love of juxtaposing modern and classical elements. Why is it so difficult to pull off a neutral space, and what can we do about it? Yes, even Josh has moments where his silver isn't perfectly polished too. The evolution of Josh Young Design House and how social media played a pivotal role in his success. His love of antiques and how he incorporates them into his spaces in unexpected ways. How he styles rooms with a mix of classical pieces, modern touches, and neutral palettes. Tips for creating a home that feels both lived-in and elegant, with an emphasis on texture and layering. Mentioned: Ballard Designs Watch the Full Episode - Ballard Designs YouTube Josh Young | IG Artful Home Decorating Dilemma Hi Amanda! Thank you for being a loyal listener! We loved diving into your primary bedroom refresh, and we have some fun ideas to help you elevate the space. Let's break it down step by step: Since you're keeping the pink chair and artwork, we suggest leaning into that pink as your accent color. Try incorporating pink into decorative pillows, drapes, and other textiles. We recommend using neutral tones for your bedding to keep things balanced and avoid overwhelming the space. A classic white bedding set with pink accents could help tie everything together without feeling too busy. For a fresh look, try layering textures in your bedding with different fabrics like linen or cotton. Keeping the palette neutral with subtle pink accents will create a serene yet stylish space. As for the drapes, consider using a light neutral with a hint of pink or blush undertones to complement the existing pink pieces. Since you want to replace your nightstands and avoid matching the dressers, look for options that offer storage but are lighter in tone or have a different texture. Painted nightstands or ones in a lighter wood could work well to contrast the darker dresser. Pair them with stylish lamps that fit your overall aesthetic—maybe incorporating more of that pink or even brass elements for a pop of elegance. We understand your husband wants to keep a fan, but you can opt for one without a light kit for a cleaner, less obtrusive look. Pair it with plenty of beautiful table or floor lamps to keep the space well-lit. The current TV placement does seem a bit top-heavy with the narrow dresser. Consider mounting the TV on the wall to free up space on the dresser for decorative items like a beautiful lamp or artwork. If wall-mounting isn't an option, switching the dresser with a wider, lower piece could help balance the space better. This will also make the room feel less cluttered and more intentional. We hope these tips spark some inspiration as you tackle your refresh! Happy decorating!
In this episode James shares with Jayda what it was like becoming a model as a plus size dark skinned man and the self-actualisation that his first ever shoot had, and the feeling of figuring it out what it is you want to do in life. James also unpacks tokenism that happens in modelling and what the difference is between feeling tokenised versus fashion being truly inclusive, and how what you see in the people behind the scenes makes all the difference. On this he also spoke about the competition and colourism between plus size and dark skinned models and why he wants to see more space made in fashion for people like him. Jayda also asks James about the male experience of body image and James' journey with body acceptance and James shared how it really doesn't matter how you look on the outside but it's how you internally feel about yourself. Lastly, James also spoke about the importance of brotherhood for men and how he draws on this theme in his work as a model and documentary maker.

Editor-in-chief of all la Repubblica magazines, Emanuele Farneti, is an influential figure in the fashion and design industries. Born in Italy, Farneti's career trajectory skyrocketed as he took the helm of esteemed publications like Vogue Italia and L'Uomo Vogue. His keen eye for style, commitment to innovation, and passion for storytelling have propelled these magazines to new heights, earning him global accolades. A fusion of tradition and modernity characterizes Farneti's leadership, analyzing the DNA of magazines to establish and evolve a language and direction better suited for contemporary society. Episode Highlights: He comes from a family of journalists who worked for Italian weekly “Panorama,” so he was “literally born within a newsroom” and has “childhood memories of the good old days of print media, where this group of talented journalists in their 30s, in the middle of the 70s were having a lot of fun playing poker and doing beautiful newspapers.” Informed by a classical education, he studied law while training as a television and print media journalist, starting with sports before moving on to fashion. Known as “a true magazine maker,” Farneti knows the importance of working with a brand's DNA, which he says can evolve but should remain true to itself. Remembering Vogue Italia's pandemic coverage, Farneti remarks that the ability to use fashion to address largerquestions and have a voice about what's important is crucial. As the director of D-la Repubblica, he's adept at addressing a general audience with various and surprising topics united under the banner of good writing. Focusing on making the most beautiful monthly-style, weekly-produced magazine possible, D sets itself apart for the quality and depth of its reporting in beauty, fashion, society, art, and lifestyle sections. The three limits of D as a print magazine: 1) it takes a long time to come together and is in circulation so briefly. 2) print quality and paper are low when working on a weekly basis. 3) there's no international distribution. One of the issues he's more proud of came out last year and was completely dedicated to Afro-Italian or second-generation Italians, conceived, styled, and photographed by second-generation Italians themselves. The magazine is launching a men's monthly on June 24. With D, Farneti oversees three different titles plus a newspaper covering the broader spectrum of fashion and beauty. When asked what's contemporary, he says teamwork, and that his coworkers “are all bringing so many ideas, so many opportunities and such a good energy to the magazine.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Tune in as Andy interviews Harold James, a unique French hair and makeup artist in that he prioritizes the individual beauty and personality of each and every one of his clients. Harold is a pretty prolific makeup artist, having done work for celebrities such as Bella Hadid, Amber Valetta, Angelina Jolie, Karlie Kloss, Susan Sarandon, and Kendall Jenner. He has also contributed to a number of top publications like Vogue Italia, Vanity Fair Italy, Elle Italia, Harper's BAZAAR, Cosmopolitan, as well as many others. When Harold was a young boy, he would often advise family members such as cousins and sisters what they should do with their hair, and it eventually got to the point at which they would approach him for recommendations! Although he didn't really become interested in beauty magazines until he was well into his teens, he loved watching his mother do her hair and makeup. He also didn't immediately go into a beauty profession, initially going into finance, but he was inspired to go into beauty because of a friend whom he loved to watch do it as a hobby. He also talks about how he finds a balance between being forward with current fashion and current trends while also being aware of what is age appropriate and what is appropriate for a specific event that a client might be attending. He stresses how important that it is that, no matter what, his clients feel beautiful and confident. He also deals with a very wide range of different personalities amongst his clientele which, as he shares, is the most challenging aspect of his job but is also something that he finds exciting. In closing, Harold is gracious enough to offer advice to anyone who might be up and coming in a similar line of work and wants to take their work to the next level, encouraging people to find their own version of perfection. He also defines success, in so far as what it means to him, saying that he feels that he has been successful when he feels happy and satisfied with his work. Andy is a big admirer of Harold and his work and had a great time chatting with him. Be sure to check Harold out online using one of the resources mentioned, and you are also encouraged to share this episode with friends and/or colleagues who might enjoy it!

Oltre"Forte di BardMostra aperta fino al 3 marzo 2024www.fortedibard.ithttps://fondazionegianpaolobarbieri.it/it/“ È un nostro compito lasciare alle generazioni future qualcosa che possa essere utile loro nell'intraprendere questo mestiere, sempre più difficile e complesso.” – Gian Paolo Barbieri C'è un luogo in cui la percezione del tempo, dello spazio e della cultura hanno scelto di allinearsi; ed è proprio qui, nel Forte di Bard, dove la creatività di Gian Paolo Barbieri ha trovato manifesto attraverso un volto diverso, in grado di racchiudere tutte le sfaccettature che lo caratterizzano.Al maestro che ha segnato la storia della fotografia contemporanea di moda e costume, il Forte di Bard dedica una grande retrospettiva in collaborazione con la Fondazione Gian Paolo Barbieri di Milano, curata da Emmanuele Randazzo, Catia Zucchetti e Giulia Manca. Esposte 112 fotografie, di cui ben 88 inedite che spaziano dagli anni '60 agli anni 2000, frutto di un'approfondita ricerca condotta all'interno dell'archivio analogico dell'artista, patrimonio storico culturale, custodito dalla Fondazione Gian Paolo Barbieri.Gian Paolo Barbieri è stato uno dei massimi esponenti che ha contribuito alla definizione di prêt-à-porter italiano e di fotografia di moda. Dapprima nella moda, poi nella fotografia etnica ed erotica, il suo sguardo sul corpo ha indagato e osservato l'anima. Ha preso forma grazie alla fotografia di moda, ha scrutato, pervaso e ha reso universale il linguaggio dei suoi scatti.Gian Paolo Barbieri Oltre è un viaggio attraverso la vita del fotografo, un viaggio a tutto tondo che mostra un volto diverso da quello già conosciuto. Presta attenzione ai dettagli, a quell'immaginario più recondito che va oltre l'immagine, oltre la moda, oltre la natura. Va oltre tutto.Gian Paolo Barbieri nasce a Milano nel 1935, in una famiglia di grossisti di tessuti, dove acquisisce le prime competenze necessarie per formarsi come fotografo di moda. Muove i primi passi nell'ambito teatrale come attore e scenografo, prima di trasferirsi a Parigi nel 1960, dove diventa assistente del celebre fotografo di Harper's Bazaar, Tom Kublin. Nel 1962 apre il suo primo studio a Milano e incomincia a lavorare nel campo della moda, scattando semplici campionari e pubblicando servizi fotografici su Novità, la rivista che in seguito diventerà Vogue Italia.Negli anni successivi collaborerà con testate internazionali come Vogue America, Vogue Paris, Vanity Fair e GQ, fotografando personaggi del calibro di Diana Vreeland, Richard Avedon, Audrey Hepburn, Yves Saint Laurent, e le super model come Jerry Hall, Veruschka, Naomi Campbell e Eva Herzigová. Le sue campagne commerciali danno risalto alla moda degli anni '60, ‘70 e ‘80 dei marchi più famosi: Walter Albini, Valentino, Giorgio Armani, Gianni Versace, Gianfranco Ferré e Vivienne Westwood.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.it
French photographer Robin Galiegue has carved a distinctive niche in the world of contemporary photography, captivating audiences with a refreshing vision of beauty, style, and attitude. Galiegue's early experimentation with makeup, styling, and photography laid the foundation for a career marked by raw energy and a timeless aesthetic. Seamlessly blending fashion, portraiture, and reportage, his notable projects include a recently published book and work with directional publications like Vogue Italia, Self Service, and Harper's Bazaar France, and collaborations with brands such as Saint Laurent, Isabel Marant, Tom Ford, and Hermès. In a world where he sees people molding into different personas online, Galiegue believes what is contemporary now is being oneself, in work and in life. Episode Highlights: Early ambitions: Born and raised in Lille, France, to artistic-minded parents, Robin Galiegue always had ambitions to move to a bigger city and first felt drawn to images and fashion at 14 in directing a photo shoot with his sister. The big move: Dropping out of school at 16, Galiegue attended photography school in Paris, deciding over the course of five days. Without reference: Coming to school with zero cultural exposure to photography, Galiegue gained technical expertise and was driven to work, though he knew little English and was not assisting. Nerves: Even as a big name in the industry today, Galiegue is nervous about approaching collaborations, such as with legendary model Linda Evangelista. Hard to sit still: Being in Paris—or in large, bustling cities—incites Galiegue's desire to work rather than relax; he sees them as villages that offer bursts of energy. “Shooting has to be fun”: Known in the industry as a kind presence, Galiegue has an intuitive understanding of when to be firm and when to prioritize kindness. Merging visions: Galiegue enjoys working with brands, stylists, and collaborators with strong voices to make something exciting and new. Finding inspiration and peace: Traveling, meeting new people, having friends not in the fashion industry, and discovering new cultures keep Galiegue engaged in his creative work after hours. What's contemporary now: Galiegue sees so many people playing roles on social media, so what's contemporary or necessary now is being yourself. Fear of AI: Galiegue is not interested in AI and is more scared of its potential to replace collaborators and artists.

Have you seen the September covers of British and American Vogue yet? For some the images are a celebration of some of the most iconic faces we know, while others think it's amazing that four women over 50 are on the cover together. Still, there are others, including me, with a variety of conflicting thoughts, which is why this episode is dedicated to the supermodels specials. We've got the legends Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell on the covers of both issues at the same time but much of the talk has centred around the use of AI retouching. I would love to know your thoughts on these images too. If you're listening on Spotify please take part in the poll on the show's page.

New York–based photographer Ethan James Green is renowned for his distinct eye and the intimacy and openness portrayed in his work. An early career in modeling and exposure to some of the great photography visionaries of the times paved the path to a whirlwind career in fashion. Today his work, which has appeared in prominent publications and campaigns—including Dazed, i-D, M le Monde, Perfect, Vogue Italia, Vogue, and W, as well as Alexander McQueen, Dior, Fendi, and Louis Vuitton—spotlights elemental themes, such as contemporary identity, sexuality, and style. A published author, his books reflect on and display the scope of queer identity of the past decade, feminine performance, erotic costume, and beauty. Hailing from Michigan and raised in a religious household, he chats about his spiritual journey, as well as discovering and integrating with the queer community. In this episode, he relays to Christopher Michael how he shifts between his two worlds, of fashion as a photographer and art as a gallerist, highlighting the need to create bridges among generational aesthetics and perspectives. What's Contemporary Now? Being authentic, breaking rules, and moving forward even when it's uncomfortable. Episode Highlights: Point of entry: New York (via Tokyo) was the initial inspiration for the 17-year-old model. Working with the greats: Ethan learned a lot while modeling for some of the preeminent fashion photographers of the time, such as Steven Meisel (how to communicate a commanding, confident voice without aggression), Mikael Jansson, and David Sims (how to streamline the process of capturing iconic images and the tricks that facilitate success). Out of Michigan: Ethan staked his claim as a model—and ultimately a photographer—by leveraging determination and a homegrown portfolio that attracted notice. Turning point: Ethan's mentor is the artist and photographer behind the 2011 book "David Armstrong: 615 Jefferson Avenue"—he embodied and modeled integrity. Moving beyond: Ethan's fundamentalist upbringing proved a beautiful challenge, allowing a personal spiritual journey that led him to understand what was true for him. Doing the work: Integrating with the queer community opened Ethan to an entirely new community that replaced his childhood church community. Trans awareness: Understanding his struggle as a gay man in a broader context. Making it: The moment Ethan knew he'd made it: covers for Vanity Fair, Vogue, and an Alexander McQueen campaign. Then Rihanna! That was a moment. A perfect superstorm: Ethan became sober just before the pandemic and found himself subsequently challenged in his ability to connect as an artist and individual. Gravitating towards art: Ethan embraced an artistic ethic that opened up a transgenerational conversation across artists, galleries, and social media. Bridging spaces: To span modeling, photography, and now gallery art seamlessly, Ethan had to find brilliant collaborators; pursue other work before focusing on fashion photography; assist where he could; find a mentor; and break some rules! What's Contemporary Now? What's authentic to the moment, but also what's synthetic to the moment? It is mixing collaboration and multiple perspectives to advance the conversation, taking the next step, even if uncomfortable, and breaking the rules to move forward.

Fashion stylist, editor, and entrepreneur Clare Richardson is a champion of environmentally conscious fashion. Previously the Fashion Director at Holiday Magazine, Clare is a contributing fashion editor at British Vogue, and her work has been featured in M le Monde, Vogue Paris, Vogue Italia, and many more. In 2020, she launched a highly curated resale platform Reluxe Fashion, which promotes fashion sustainability and circularity. In this episode, Clare chats with Christopher Michael about her journey: from a shy young teen and Central Saint Martins College to fashion editorials, working with legacy brands—such as Hermes, Balenciaga, and Calvin Klein, and advocating for slow fashion practices. She highlights her concerns about fashion greenwashing and how it affects modern consumers' choices. With Reluxe, she's aiming to create the antithesis of fast fashion, build an informed community around sustainable fashion, and underscore that all small steps matter in making a difference. What's contemporary now? "Expressing yourself truthfully." Episode Highlights: Escapism and inspiration: Clare grew up as a shy and nerdy girl, but once she discovered fashion magazines, she found a sense of escapism, inspiration, and a whole new world where she could express herself. Central Saint Martins College: Total freedom can be overwhelming, so you have to throw yourself into it and manage your time correctly, and In the end, it makes you stronger. Follow your gut: decide which avenue to go down in your fashion career. A passion for styling: Clare discovered her love for styling through trial and error; it came naturally to her. She felt inspired by the teams she worked with and loved the research. Married to fashion: Clare is married to a fashion photographer, so she needs to set boundaries and prioritize getaways to find a balance between the fashion world and her world. Sustainability and fashion: Clare constantly educates herself on climate change, how the fashion industry contributes to it, and how her values align—or do not align—with what the industry is doing. Reluxe Fashion: Clare's daughter influenced her decision to start and develop the brand. She details Reluxe Fashion's impact on the world and how she wants to shift how people think about fashion. Resale vs. circular fashion: What is the difference between resale and circular fashion, and why is greenwashing affecting consumer choices? Boosting fashion sustainability: Money talks! As a consumer, ask yourself, "Where do you spend your money? Do you need it? Does it need to be new? What brands are you supporting? What are their values?" Collaborations: They play a significant role in fashion because they inspire, engage, and excite customers. They create a broader reach for brands and products. Roles: Clare spotlights the differences between her role as a fashion stylist and her role as a curator for Reluxe. Clare's advice: Environmentally conscious fashion stylists and editors should be true to themselves. "If you believe in it and it matters to you, make it part of your job. Find a tribe of people that inspires you."

What you'll learn in this episode: How Melinda created the definitive guide to the Napier Company. What made Napier stand out from other costume jewelry manufacturers of the 20th century. Why Chinese and Russian collectors are becoming increasingly interested in American costume jewelry. How the dawn of costume jewelry changed the way we accessorize. Why the craftsmanship of vintage costume jewelry is often as good as fine jewelry. Why being part of a community can be the most rewarding part of collecting. About Melinda Lewis Jewelry historian Melinda Lewis spent 11 years researching the history of a single American jewelry manufacturer —The Napier Co. Determined to bring the first book about this company to the public, she interviewed over fifty former employees from around the country spanning multiple generations. Those interviewed included the great-grandson of William Rettenmeyer, the designer who started in 1891; to designers who worked for Napier from 1941 to the close of the plant; as well as executive management, including the former CEO, Ron Meoni; and traveling salesmen, whose careers were no less than 30-plus years with the company. After publishing her book, Lewis and her husband have spent the last year curating an extraordinary collection of vintage jewelry from around the country for her customers with The Jewelry Stylist and Vintage Jewelry Collect.

She spent over a decade researching The Napier Company, an influential costume jewelry manufacturer, and created a community of fellow costume lovers along the way. She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about the process of researching and writing her book, “The Napier Co.: Defining 20th Century American Costume Jewelry”; what costume jewelry is trending and where the hot markets are; and why the joy of jewelry often lies in connecting with others. Read the episode transcript here. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. If you haven't heard part one, please head to TheJewelryJourney.com. Today, we are talking with Melinda Lewis, the author of the definitive work on Napier Company jewelry, “The Napier Co.: Defining 20th Century American Costume Jewelry.” She's also one of the founders of Costume Jewelry Collectors International. If you look at their website, CJCI.co, you'll be able to find all you want to know about costume jewelry. Welcome back. Why did they start making costume jewelry? What I'm always surprised by is that everything was just as nice about it, but it wasn't a real ruby. That's all. It was a synthetic one. [Repeat from Part one] Melinda: I think the reason why it became popular was that it allowed more people to adorn themselves. If you think about it, you had a real piece that might cost $2,000, but you could offer a lovely, finely crafted piece of jewelry for $20. It allowed the average person to feel as beautiful as the socialite that was wearing the $10,000 piece. It made things more democratic. It opened up the market to people that perhaps would not have been wearing that expensive piece of jewelry. I think that's why it made it more accessible to the masses. Sharon: Would you say it was manufactured? Everything about it was the same except that it wasn't “real”? Melinda: A lot of the manufacturing companies used the same manufacturing techniques as fine jewelry. Many of the people, particularly in the 1920s, had come over from Europe and had worked for the jewelry houses of Paris, so their techniques, their skill levels, were unsurpassed. They were jewelry makers. That's why some of the early pieces look just like fine jewelry, because there really wasn't a difference in the manufacturing with the stones, the setting and the design aspects. We were really fortunate, if you think of it, to have all of these fine jewelry designers and manufacturers immigrate to the U.S. and give us, as a society, the opportunity to buy jewelry that wasn't $10,000. Sharon: Is it still true? Would you say the quality is still as good? Melinda: I think it's line specific, but certainly jewelry today is probably not made to the same quality standards as costume jewelry was during the beginning of the 20th century. There certainly are going to be pieces, but most of the jewelry we see in department stores is not made in the same way it was made a hundred years ago. I can't really explain it. Often, it falls apart. It doesn't have the same plating. We don't use the same quality stones. I don't think the designers have a full understanding of the design aspects or design aesthetics they had a hundred years ago. It's hard for me to say it has the same quality that it did. Sharon: Are you a flea market junkie or a swap meet junkie? Melinda: Yes, my treat to myself is to do that on occasion, to go to an antique fair. But Covid certainly changed a lot of things in the last three years. The majority of my acquiring comes from online, but there's certainly something about spying that piece in a pile of jewelry. Someone has no idea what they have, and that's when your years of study pay off. You're able to recognize something and think, “Oh, that has value.” Sharon: Do you still have a store online? Melinda: I have three online stores. My husband and I have three. One is for the Napier book, and then two others are online venues for vintage jewelry. One sells Napier jewelry exclusively, and the other two sell regular costume jewelry. Sharon: Except for this exposure to costume jewelry, I don't know that much about it. I hadn't heard about your website. I thought I knew everything about all kinds of jewelry. Tell us about your websites with jewelry. Melinda: One is called TheJewelryStylist.com. That has higher-end costume jewelry. Vintage Jewelry Collect is my other website. That one has mid- to upper-level costume jewelry and probably a deeper array of things, from wood jewelry and Bakelite and rhinestone jewelry. My objective with The Jewelry Stylist is to have the higher-end collectables on that side. Then TheNapierBook.com is where I sell my book as well as vintage Napier jewelry. Sharon: Do you have people—stylists I guess—who come to you because they're doing a movie or a TV show and they need something? Melinda: I used to do that. In the early 2000s, I did a lot of work with Edward Enninful's team and had a lot of jewelry featured in Italian Vogue. I had my jewelry used for MAC cosmetics. I'm going blank on the other ads, but yes, I did do that in the early 2000s. However, it's a lot of work. It's not a paid gig; you do it for exposure. I stopped doing that probably around 2008 or 2009. It was a lot of fun and certainly exciting to see your pieces on the cover of Vogue Italia. My focus at that point was on the book, so doing that type of print work interfered with me moving forward with completing my book. So, I put it to the side. Sharon: Did you stop everything and focus on the book? What did you do? Melinda: I was trying to do both. We founded CJCI in 2009, so I had a lot going on. Incidentally, it's CJCI.co, not com. Sharon: Thank you. It stands for—go ahead. Melinda: Costume Jewelry Collectors International. We were formed to promote the study, enjoyment and promotion of costume jewelry. We started our club when we learned about the retirement of Lucille Tempestas' jewelry club. She had a jewelry club named the VFCJ. I knew there was going to be a void for people, because we really enjoyed getting together with jewelry clubs. I talked it over with my husband and decided I was going to ask my cofounder, Pamela Siegel, if she would join me on this journey of starting a new jewelry club. She said yes, and within three days, we had a website up; we had created groups on Facebook. Within three months, we had published our first magazine. In 2011, we had our first jewelry convention. Sharon: You've had one every two or three years, like a convention or conference. Melinda: We had one for seven years straight. Sharon: Wow! It's a lot of work. Melinda: It's a lot of work. Right now, our focus is on the website. We acquired a database from another website called Research In Costume Jewelry, which was a website created by Dotty Springfield. That's why people come to our website, to get information about jewelry marks. That was a very big project. We had to integrate all of the data from one website and incorporate it into ours. It was a costly and timely project, but we were able to do it. We get about 13,000 unique visitors a month to our website to look up jewelry marks. Sharon: The marks specifically? Melinda: Yeah. Sharon: I did hear that you might have a cruise. Melinda: One thing we're considering is perhaps doing a jewelry cruise next year. Pam and I will be talking about that this year to see if it's feasible. That might be in the works for 2024, but nothing's set in stone yet; we're just looking at our options. Sharon: Nothing for 2023 this year. Melinda: No. It was a tough decision. We had to make a financial assessment of whether or not it was viable for us, and still with Covid and the uncertainties and the contract obligations you have as an event promoter—if you don't fill it, you still have to pay the bill—we decided it was in our best interest to not have a convention this year. It was very sad choice for us, but one we needed to make. Sharon: How did you and the businesses stay afloat during Covid? How did you manage? Melinda: CJCI is donation based, so we were greatly affected by it and by not having conventions, which is our main source of income to try to cover the expenses of hosting a website and such. That income wasn't there. My personal businesses actually had a little bit of an uptick during Covid. That was a nice surprise, and certainly one I wasn't expecting. Sharon: I've heard that a lot of jewelry websites or people who sold jewelry did find an uptick during that time because people were at home. What else did people have to do? Melinda: Right, and a new buying community has opened up, like I mentioned with the Chinese market and Russian market. It's really gratifying to see other communities taking an interest in our American jewelry heritage. Sharon: What are they looking for? Not that it's American, but that it's high-end or lower? Melinda: High-end, and they're actually taking an interest in the history, which is fascinating and wonderful. I'm not sure that Americans in the same age group have the same interest in our history. Sharon: I'm thinking about some of the smaller antique fairs I've been to. I don't collect costume jewelry specifically, but I've been surprised at some of the prices for high-end costume jewelry. Melinda: It's been phenomenal. In the last two years, it has really peaked—perhaps not peaked; it has spiked. Sharon: I'm sure it's good for you, yes. Sometimes I think, “Why didn't I start with costume jewelry?” You can buy a lot more, but it's really gotten expensive. Melinda: Yes, it has. My advice to people is buy what you love and get the best you can afford. Grow your collection that way, but don't necessarily buy it for investment purposes. The market can be fickle, and it's generally a long game when you buy a piece. You have to have a pulse on the market. You have to know just the right time to offer it. Most people aren't following the market that closely. Sharon: But that's something you do, follow the market for costume jewelry? Melinda: Oh yes, every day. Sharon: Do people come to you and ask you to appraise things? Melinda: They do, but I don't offer that service. For one, I believe in California you have to be licensed to appraise. I give them guidance on what they can do. It's the same things I would do, like looking at closed auctions or websites that provide finished auction prices I do get that a lot, but I decline answering that question. Sharon: I think you are correct in that you have to be licensed. Why should somebody like me, who clearly doesn't know that much about costume jewelry, why should I be interested? Why would I start turning my eye towards that as opposed to other antiques? Is it a progression? Do they go from one thing to another and end up with something else somewhere along the line? Melinda: For me, with collecting costume jewelry, there is not only a recognition of the art form, but it's the community that is fostered during the research and the study. It's having that connection with other people who are interested in our history and the meaning behind that history. That is my biggest source of joy for collecting it. So, it is about the piece of jewelry, but it's not. It's also about the community that comes with the study of costume jewelry. It's a wonderful time right now to become connected with others for research and collaboration and what I like to call jewelry genealogy. It really is, and that's exciting. When we learn a new detail about a piece of jewelry, there's nothing more rewarding. You get those endorphin hits. I think that's the thing I like about it. You get a surge of energy, a surge of joy. “Oh my gosh, I just discovered something new. I didn't know what that meant. Wow!” You collaborate with others and pull together your knowledge base. That's what makes it fun. There are so many groups right now, like on Facebook, that people can join to aid them in their jewelry journey. These groups just weren't available a decade ago. It has expanded. In the last two or three years, the amount of jewelry groups for different aspects of studying it—and a lot of them specialize in one area. There are Schreiner groups. There's my page, and I have a group per se. There's the Alice Caviness group and the Hattie Carnegie group. People hone on in their interest and share their knowledge. That's the essence of what collecting is all about. Sharon: Do you find yourself ever wanting to go astray? Do you ever see a piece of Hattie Carnegie, let's say, that you think is wonderful and buy it? Melinda: Of course. I have a folder on my computer called “Want to Buys” for areas I want to learn more about. They are my bucket list pieces, and they're not Napier; they're other pieces. I'm like, “Oh, my gosh, I really want that piece. That is so polar opposite. I had no idea they made a line like that.” I think that's true for most collectors. The great thing about being in a group with other jewelry collectors is that you expose yourself to things beyond what you're accustomed to seeing. It makes it wonderful. Sharon: Do you wear a piece of costume jewelry every day or every time you go out, no matter what you're wearing? Melinda: No, unfortunately where I live, I don't think it would be appropriate to wear a piece of jewelry. When we go out to dinner, I'll put on something, but I don't wear it every day. I play with it every day. I love handling it or picking up a piece or refreshing my memory about a piece. That I do, but I don't wear it every day. Sharon: I find myself wondering—there are communities, but if you have more of a community because you wrote the book and developed this community, do you have more than other people? How do I have community if I didn't write this book? Melinda: The book certainly helped form my community. My book actually wouldn't have been published without my community. That's very true. When I say my community, in that sense, I mean my costume jewelry collecting community. It wasn't a Napier community. My community supported me such that we were able to raise the funds to do the printing. The Napier book would not have happened without the jewelry community supporting me. There are groups on Facebook that have been formed that specialize in specific designers. They don't necessarily have a book behind them or an author behind that group, so I'm not sure. Sharon: What's your next book on? Are you continuing this one? Is it part two, or are you starting fresh? Melinda: I'm not sure if there's another book in me. It takes a lot of work. There are certainly revisions I would do. I hope once we sell out of the hard copy, if I do an e-book, it will have revisions and updates. I've learned so much since we originally published. I'm on the internet every day looking at archives, looking at newspaper ads and clippings and identifying more specific years that things were made. That's a habit for me, to try to collect articles to further my understanding of Napier. Sharon: It does sound like it takes a lot of work, a lot of time. What would you revise first, prices or the pictures? Would you say, “This was done elsewhere”? Melinda: The latter, yes. If I had dated something, say, at the late 50s, but I found the ad that said, “No, it was 1962,” I would move it; I would put it in its proper age spot. Even though I was off by five years, I was trying to be as specific as I could. I would update some of the years for things and perhaps add more pieces or more dating I've since discovered. Sharon: I don't know if there's any room for more pieces. You have so many. I was looking and I thought, “How did you do this?” The photos are really beautiful. They're clear and very detailed. It's very nice. Do people contact you because of the book itself? Melinda: Yes, I do get that. When I was writing the book, I had a spreadsheet so I could keep track of everything. Everything was kept on spreadsheets, down to making comma changes and other things. I had a very extensive database so I could track where everything was to make sure it was in its proper place when I was laying out the book. Sharon: Did your family help you? Or did they say, “Don't bother me,” or “I'm tired of hearing about it,” even though they were involved from a monetary standpoint? Melinda: My mother helped with some of the editing. I had a number of friends helping me with the editing. My husband found the printer. We used the same printer as Condé Nast and Assouline Books. My husband went out and got the best printer we could get. In terms of the template for the book layout, he contracted with a couple of people that wrote for Consumer Reports, and they helped devise the template. From there, I worked with the template they provided to fill out the book. We had the foundation designed for us. My husband probably was my biggest support, following me all around the country. I couldn't travel without him. He was the one carrying all the equipment and what not. Sharon: So, you would go to the collections? You would go wherever— Melinda: Yeah, and I'd stay with the employees. They were most generous. I stayed with Henry for a week and talked Napier. We stayed with a gentleman named Bill Hurlbutt and his wife, Alice. We stayed with them for a week. We met with Napier employees on our honeymoon. I decided to go to Meriden and have a lunch date with Napier employees instead of taking a honeymoon. It was a lot of fun. Sharon: I hope your husband had some inkling at the time when that happened. Thank you so much for being with us today. We'll look for part two. I'm sure all of us will be looking at jewelry and turning it over and trying to find the marks you've mentioned that we didn't know might be there. Thank you so much, Melinda. Melinda: Thank you for having me, Sharon. Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website. Please head to TheJewelryJourney.com to check them out. Thank you again for listening. Please leave us a rating and review so we can help others start their own jewelry journey.
