The Kaelen Fall 2014 beauty look is all about winged eyeliner that’s “not too girly”

Usually when you picture a ‘downtown girl’ you imagine mussed hair, probably toped with a black toque and slept-in eyeliner that somehow only looks better as the day goes on. Kaelen Haworth’s eponymous line—known for its effortless-yet-edgy aesthetic—usually stays away from such a look, keeping her models fresh faced. But for Fall 2014, the Kaelen collection had a distinctly more feminine feel, which called for a beauty change up.



For hair, this meant a subtle updo that had DIY appeal. It should “look like she dragged [the hair] back herself,” said Pantene consulting stylist Justin German of the half-updo style. After prepping hair with Pantene Pro-V Volume Root Lifting Spray Gel and a soon-to-be-released dry shampoo from Pantene, German teased the top section slightly before pulling hair back into a ponytail, securing it in place with a couple of exposed bobby pins. Tightness was not the name of the game, as per the designer’s desire for ease and edge.



On the makeup side of things, Cover Girl makeup pro Veronica Chu talked about the typical pared-down look of Kaelen and how the designer wanted to do something different for Fall 2014: “This particular season, she wanted to have a graphic edge and we did that with the eyeliner.” Starting at the middle of the upper eyelid, Chu used a felt-tipped Cover Girl Bombshell Intensity Liner, winging it out at the ends but with a square shape for more of a cool-girl effect—and also to keep the eye from looking dragged down. “It was really important for that the look wasn’t too girly. It has a little bit of a graphic, almost tomboy edge,” said Chu. Her insider trick for keeping the winged eyeliner from looking too overdone? Not a lick of mascara or eyeshadow. Cool-girl, indeed!

Antonio Azzuolo Fall 2014: The bespoke men’s tailor delves into womenswear for next season

Tailors tend to breed talented offspring. Dries Van Noten, Domenico Dolce, Emmanuel Ungaro—they’re all cut from families of exacting cloth. Menswear designer Antonio Azzuolo is part of that club, having been raised by two in Montreal. After years in the business (15 in creative roles at Ralph Lauren, Hermès, Gap and Kenneth Cole, and six at the helm of his own bespoke line) he launched womenswear for Fall 2014, bringing old school tailoring techniques into new territory for next season. In his post-show Q&A with ROM curator Alexandra Palmer last night in Toronto, Azzuolo spoke of adaptation—something he’s clearly done in this collection. His full canvas method (all the handiwork goes on below the surface, allowing for the outside to maintain perfect shape) was applied to both men’s and women’s belted coats. Wool culottes were worn overtop loose-fitting trousers for understated statement making effect. Meanwhile, a sixties mod feel was woven through, with graphic alpaca sweaters done in magenta, maroon and white with unfinished hems which were layered over perfect white shirts.



Azzuolo also brought up the kind of buzzy dualities—masculine/feminine, past/future, tradition/novelty, structured/unstructured—often referenced in press releases. But while often they sound like fluff, here they felt earnest connectors to a strong first collection.

Shura to change meeting site, Drone flights force TTP intermediaries

Miranshah- As US drones flew above them, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) intermediaries and the Taliban political Shura (advisory council) changed their meeting place to a different location.

The second phase of talks between the TTP negotiators and the Taliban political shura began today.

The TTP intermediaries had left Islamabad and reached North Waziristan to meet the shura on March 14, 2014.

Coordinator of TTP committee Maulana Yousaf Shah, Jamaat-e-Islami’s Professor Ibrahim and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) district chief Maulana Abdul Hai had traveled to North Waziristan via a special helicopter.

The purpose of the visit was to decide the timing and venue for face-to-face talks between the new government negotiators and the TTP.

Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had said that formal talks with the TTP would begin the moment the timing and venue for the dialogue was decided.

The government had formed a new committee on March 12, 2014, to hold direct talks with the TTP as part of efforts to end years of violence that has plagued the country.

Ports and Shipping Secretary Habibullah Khattak would head the four-member committee which will include Fata Additional Secretary Arbab Arif, Additional Secretary to Prime Minister Office Fawad Hassan Fawad and Former Diplomat Rustam Shah Mohmand, who was in the previous negotiating team as well.
