And we love the clothes we've stolen from men: casual white shir t s, T-shir t s, pant s, ox fords, suits, smoking, vests and many more. D e spite b ein g m o d e rn a n d co ol , this s t y le c a n b e a little tricky. The best way to wear it is to mix it up with other styles, which prevents a total "boy" look. Pay attention to accessories as well. They can either keep with the tomboy style or be exactly the opposite, creating a “happy and unpretentious" look. It doesn't have to be obvious to be cool. Mixing is both trendy and beautiful; imagine a floral dress with combat boots, or maybe some oxford shoes and a draped skirt. You can see this clearly in the photo where the model is wearing cat eye sunglasses and a yellow skir t; it's two different styles in one: tomboy and romantic. The tomboy st yle is not so new to fashion. In the 1960’s, YSL introduced the famous “Le Smocking” for women and Coco Chanel also diversified the female wardrobe by introducing masculine clothing options Af ter all, that's fashion: a mix of dif ferent styles and options. This st yle is ideal for those who have cur v y body t ypes, bringing better balance to the silhouette. P i c t u r e a w o m a n w i t h f u ll -f i g u r e d h i p s i n s t r a i g h t pants.

If t h e to p ic is w o r k , t a ke a d va nt a ge of t h e to m b oy style, because it can be formal and stylish at the same time.

In order to achieve this, he leaves conventional atelier settings behind and instead goes out in nature to fight for the best pictures. It gives his photographs a strong signature st yle resulting in such dramatic effect that he's often asked if h e us e s Ph oto sh o p fo r th e s ce n e r y.

T h e contras t b et we en th e minimalistic exterior, the clouds and the arid lands, and the dressed up models adds even more visual interest to the subjects. The way the models are posed against the eye-catching background makes the clothes stand out even more. TJ creates striking compositions and h e of ten sh o ot s from a lower angle to h elp viewers draw their eyes around the photo. The subjec t s are p er fe c tly lit , dominating th e fram e . H e bro ught his style to absolute perfection with the standout picture of a model styled in a loose, bright yellow dress blowing in the wind against the fading sunset; it's aesthetically overwhelming. T h e ove rall fe elin g of TJ 's ima ge s is inte n s e; eve r y aspect of his work invites you in to inspect the picture more closely and take another look . TJ 's photos are stunning and are distinguished by his unique style; it's evident from the wide range of publications in which his work has been presented, including Vogue Italia, that they think so too.

Joost Van Manen is a man of balance. From growing up in his native small town and world capital cit y of Amsterdam to his career shif t from corporate business to the creative beauty realm, Van Manen has found balance both within and outside the photo frame. It’s in the angle of an arched back, the ease of relaxed fingers holding a cigaret te, the deep and wandering gaze of smok y eyes and the shine in a leather jacket or slicked back hair; the D utch photographer is like a choreographer who creates the per fec t rhy thm between light, shapes and colours through his masterful technique and sensitive intuition. This dance allows his images a certain reality that transcends the lens and connects the viewer to the core of the subject.

SIMOLO En Vie 66 INTE RVIE W BREAKING THE IMAGE AN INTERVIEW WITH INTERNATIONAL ENTERPRISER K AORU GLEISSNER Tex t / YU A SADA Photography / MICK GLEISSNER I nternational enterpriser Kaoru Gleissner was born in Tokyo and studied Architecture in the UK before heading to Shanghai to learn Mandarin. Along with her already diverse international background, she now models, runs an ostrich farm in the Philippines, produces a language series entitled “Sexy Mandarin" and designs her own jeweller y brand called KOZO with collections of pearl accessories and lingerie. Her pearl accessories are carefully designed to exude feminine beauty. Even though pearls are mainly worn at formal occasions, KOZO accessories are both elegant and adventurous; they can be paired with casual daytime styles as well as glamorous dresses. En Vie was fortunate enough to squeeze an interview into Kaoru's busy schedule and ask her about the fascinating collection. En Vie: First of all, how and when did you start the KOZO collection? Kaoru: I was 21 when I started the line. At that time, it was called ILUSH and I used to sell custom made pearls, suits and wedding dresses. I majored in architecture b u t d e c i d e d to g o m y o w n w ay a n d c r e a te m y o w n concept of "architecture of the body." The pearls were pretty popular and my customers liked my designs, so I decided to create my own line and sell it to some of the department stores in Japan. What's the concept behind KOZO? Pearls are usually classified as jewellery for old people, o r fo r fo rmal eve nt s . I p e r s o nall y love p ea rls a n d I wanted to break that image and that's the concept of KOZO. Why pearls? Simply because I love them! They just look so elegant and can go with anything to dress up your look. Where do you get inspiration for your designs? Simplicity is the key to pearl designing and most of the design inspiration comes from trying to design a piece that is easy to wear, and I use a lot of magnets. I have a line of pearls and I start using my body as the model to create designs by twisting and joining them. Whatever looks good, I make right away. What's your vision for KOZO? KOZO is really my attempt to break the image people have that pearls are not for causal occasions or young people. That's my vision for the brand. In her latest collection “KNOT Pearl,” Kaoru used only p la s tic p e a rls a n d rib b o n s in s te a d of m et a l cla sp s , which allow people to wear a necklace as a bracelet, or even as a belt or headpiece. We can't wait to see more of her marvellous creativity in the next collection.

I SEE YOU. EVERYWHERE I GO I SEE YOU. When I sleep, I dream of you. When I wake, I think of you. You’re on my mind, consuming me. I find myself in places I’ve never been, hoping to see you. You don’t know I’m there, but I watch you from the wings and I drink you in . I don’t recognise my own behaviour anymore, but I no longer care. I can think of nothing else; my previous life, my responsibilities, it's all insignificant. The hours go by so quickly when I think of you. The feeling inside me is like a churning, like I’m on the edge and only you can take me over. Other people notice the change in me, all except you; I’m quiet, withdrawn, solitar y. I know this of myself, but in reality I’m busy, busy thinking about you. I wish you knew and I wish you felt the same. Please notice me. Please just acknowledge me, just a hello or a nod, or at least catch my eye. Catch my eye so I can fall into you. I feel like I could scream; it’s at the back of my throat. I want to tell the world how wonderful you are. I can’t know that you are, but I’ll be right. One day you will see me, waiting here for you to notice me. You will know that you give me butter flies and one day you will feel the same.

February 2013 FORECAST FROM THE STARS BY HEPZIBAH Illustration / ANNA JA SINSKI w w w.annajasinski.com ARIES 3/21 – 4/19 T hings are moving fast now, but don’t get too carried away with events; keep your temper and passions in check or they could get you in trouble. This is especially true in the career area; let sleeping dogs lie in th e wo rk p la ce a n d f o c u s o n your social life instead. CANCER 6/22 – 7/22 his is probably the best time this year to focus on work and career, especially if you have been thinking about a change in direction. Therefore don’t let little things like romance or money distract you from your own achievements. Especially, don’t bring love into the workplace. T TAURUS 4/20 – 5/20 h is is a s o c ia l m o n t h f o r b u ll s that brings opportunities to meet new people, leading to a romantic encounter for some in the s e co n d we e k . A f te r t h e 16t h , p ay a t te n t i o n to yo u r d r e a m s a s t h e y could be the inspiration you need to give your career a boost.

T h e r e ’s n o n e e d t o be seduced by p ower or authorit y either as your career is going from strength to strength. T eo, life and soul of the party, it’s time to get out and paint the town red! Close encounters of the romantic kind are very likely and it’s also a good time for some networking if you are tr ying to move up the career ladder. However, remember to stay loyal to your old friends, those who are close to you. VIRGO 8/23 – 9/22 D on’t be tempted to overdo the par t ying this month; it ’s time to keep your nose to the grindstone at work . There is enough going on there socially to keep you occupied a n y w a y. D o n ’ t d o a n y t h i n g t h a t could damage your heart, either physically or emotionally. LIBRA 9/23 – 10/22 he only fly in the ointment this month is work, so concentrate on your social life where fun is easy to find and love is in the air. Whether a serious relationship is what you seek or just a bit of fun, either will do, for romance is in the cards. T SCORPIO 10/23 – 11/21 esis t the temptation to live in the past, something you have a tendenc y to do. Old memories are resur facing , giving you the insight you need to prepare for your future. A meeting with someone new could result in a fling. R SAGITTARIUS 11/22 – 12/21 f it ’s love you are af ter, then I’m sorry Sags; this is not the time. Its fleeting app earance will soon slip through your fingers, so it’s better to concentrate on the material side of life. Money and gifts come to you easily this month. However, as your f i n a n c ia l p la n e t i s i n r e t r o g r a d e , it would b e wise to conser ve your spending and hold onto the things that come your way. I CAPRICORN 12/22 – 1/19 ime to throw open the cupboards and do a spring cleaning. Get rid of junk , pay of f debt s an d rem ove the blockages that are preventing new and beautiful things from entering your life. And it will come; whether in the form of a new love, the opportunity to study something new or finding a beautiful item for your home. T AQUARIUS 1/20 – 2/18 e careful what you wish for ‑ the u n i v e r s e i s r e a d y to g i v e yo u what you desire, although it may not come in the form you expected. It’s a passionate time for Water Bearers, but take care, love with such intensity comes and goes as quickly as a springtime flash flood. B PISCES 2/19 – 3/20 F e b r u a r y ’s e m p h a s i s i s o n t h e spiritual, the divine and the supernatural. Whatever you do this month, turn within to solve problems rather than solving them with material solutions. Don’t f o r get th e n e e ds of th e b o d y ; e at well and stretch like a cat often.
