We are not just ecstatic because of his contributions to the automobile industry but to society. His baronial blueprints have literally placed a chokehold on the all too familiar and raised eyebrows, showcasing his innate ability to challenge humanity with vicious velocity. So, we salute Mr. Shelby for keeping us enthralled as both a racecar driver and a cultural craftsman. And, what better issue to present this in besides this year’s Art/Entertainment motif! This 300 plus page depository is a hodge-podge of skill, recreation, exhibition and pure pensive pleasure. - VAUGHN LOWERY, President of 360 Special Thanks to all of our brand partners and staff members for all their hard work and efforts.

Originally from Jackson Heights, New York, at the age of nine, her family uprooted and moved to Dominican Republic - a defining moment of her youth. Exposure to the country’s vibrant culture, led her to pursue a career in ballet. After spending seven years in DR, her family returned to NYC. Having experienced extreme culture shock, the fifteen year old reacclimated to New York through her interests in the performing arts. During high school, she became a lighting technician for the New York Youth Theater Group and continued her pursuits at FACES Maimonides Theater Network for Teens. Inspired by her family, her biggest supporters; interest in the performing arts flourished. 22 360 MAGAZINE However, she knew she wanted to find her niche on the business side of the entertainment industry. She continued her education, earning an Associates degree from the Borough of Manhattan Community College and her Bachelor of Science in Business from Long Island University. Although young, Cisely proved to be a quick study with a keen eye for talent and interesting projects; ultimately impressing all who crossed her path. In 2002, she began her role as a Talent Manager for 4 years where she helped many new artists, while also spearheading her sister Zoe Saldana’s early movie career. Inspired by life experience, her ascendancy led to a small independent film, La Maldicion del Padre Cardona; picked up by HBO. In order to produce film/TV projects, Cisely co-founded Cinestar Pictures, LLC in May of 2006; focusing on urban genres. Cisely has found a true calling and passion for production with her roles as both Associate Producer for the film, A Kiss of Chaos and Executive Producer for the reality series, Celebrity Hero. Cisely ushered in 2011 with the launch of Saldana Productions at Sundance, while receiving the Levi Strauss Producer to Watch award. She has Director/ Producer credit alongside her sister and actress Zoe Saldana on Vin Diesel’s The Ropes. Cisely is undoubtedly a producer to watch. 360 MAGAZINE 23 Dress: Eduardo De Las Casas Earrings: Love by Monroe Bracelets: Love by Monroe Dressed to Kill Photographer: Tim Coburn Fashion Stylist + Art Director: Apuje Kalu Model: Bruna O. - MC2 Miami Hairstylist: James Cornwell Make-Up Artist: Gina Robinson 24 360 MAGAZINE Dress: Jacinta Ligon Earrings: Ankora Bracelets: Ankora 360 MAGAZINE 25 Red Bull BC One North American North America’s top b-boys will face-off, during the Red Bull BC One North American qualifier, at the Aragon Entertainment Center this summer in Chicago, Illinois. Throughout four rounds of 1-on-1 battles, the competition will feature b-boys that have made their way to the highest platform of breakdancing - Red Bull BC One. Sixteen dancers will fight for a spot to represent North America in the World Finals later this year in Rio. B-boys will display their styles reflecting their regional backgrounds. With West Coast power moves meeting the freezing styles of the East, fans of this complex dance style will not be disappointed. At the end, only one of the 16 competitors will emerge with the right to call himself the “Best B-Boy in North America.” In addition to bragging rights, the victor will earn the chance to represent North America at the Red Bull BC One World Finals in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil this December. 26 360 MAGAZINE B-boy Ronnie, the Las Vegas breaker who won the 2007 Red Bull BC One Finals in South Africa, knows something about the importance of the United States qualifiers. He will join b-boys Float and Machine to judge the Chicago event. Looking ahead, Ronnie said, “To win something this big in America will mean so much. All the b-boys are training for this like it’s the Red Bull BC One Finals. Whoever wins this, it’s going to be a big deal.” As one of the four elements of hip-hop (along with MCing, DJing and graffiti) b-boying has thrived in Chicago, a city with undisputed hip-hop cred. The ballroom inside of the Aragon Entertainment Center is one of the Windy City’s most storied cultural landmarks and a legendary dance venue, will serve as the arena for a day of battles that will help shape the future of b-boying. Skeme Richards, who serves as the DJ for the legendary Rock Steady Crew, will provide music for the night; and hosting the event is RAKAA, representing the Dilated Peoples, the Rock Steady Crew and UZN. The 16 b-boy competitors include the following: Ken Fury (New York City), Domkey (Philadelphia), Ronnie Ruen (Los Angeles), Villn (Sacramento), Tata (Brooklyn), Evol (Chicago), Nasty Nate (Houston), Fléau (Canada), Mijo (Milwaukee), MN Joe (St. Paul), Bebo(Brockton), Prada G (Los Angeles), Mig 187 (Las Vegas), Omen (Homestead), Stripes (Tampa), and Kid Cruz (Denver). 360 MAGAZINE 27 28 360 MAGAZINE Darryl Stephens After years of theater in Los Angeles and San Francisco, Darryl Stephens played Noah on the Logo Network’s groundbreaking series Noah’s Arc and starred in feature films Boy Culture Culture, Another Gay Movie and Noah’s Arc: Jumping the Broom.. He worked with Anthony Mackie in the upcoming biopic Bolden!,, voiced a character on the animated series Rick and Steve alongside RuPaul and made memorable appearances on ABC’s hit shows Private Practice and Desperate Housewives, CW’s Ringer and BET’s Reed Between the Lines. His performance in Gary Lennon’s play The Interlopers was nominated for an Ovation Award. Recenty, he published his first novel Shortcomings along with an EP of dance music as SugarTank; the alter ego of one the book’s main characters. After co-writing and starring in the short film Something Like A Butterfly last fall, he executive produced, co-wrote and starred in the new drama series DTLA, which debuts winter 2012. After appearing in the 2007 issue of OUT 100, he has been very vocal on dealing with discussions on marriage equality, safe sex and bullying. 360 MAGAZINE 29 30 360 MAGAZINE Between a Dock and a Hard Place Photographer: Elton Anderson Fashion Stylist + Art Director: Apuje Kalu Models: Pamela Lima - Next Miami, Ellen Sevenhuijsen + Alex Larsson - Elite Miami Hairstylist: Christina Silvia – Ford Artists Make-Up Artist: Peggy Mackey 360 MAGAZINE 31 Carroll Shelby the Driver... the Creator... the Philanthropist Probably best known for his creations of the Shelby Cobras and Mustangs, Carroll Shelby was first recognized as a notable race car driver. In fact, he was named Driver of the Year by Sports Illustrated for two consecutive years (1956 - 1957). Shelby’s creative mind led to numerous attempts at entreprenuership before his iconic rise to Automotive Legend. In 1941, Shelby enlisted straight into the United States Army Air Corps. He served as a flight instructor at Lackland Air Force Base, near San Antonio, during World War II. Upon his return in August 1945, he invested in several business ventures, one of which was a chicken farm. Two years into his chicken raising, they died from limberneck disease, bringing the business to an end. Three years later he drives his friend’s MG in his first amateur drag race. A few months following, he uses that same car for a competition set in Norma, Oklahoma, where he wins his first race. Not only was Shelby developing a championship 32 360 MAGAZINE career, unbeknownst to him, he was setting fashion statements as well. In August of 1953, Shelby ran a foot race in his bib-striped overalls. Realizing the positive attention he received, Shelby decided to stick with his newfound garb; quickly becoming a trademark image for his brand. Shelby won two races that catapulted his amateur racing to a professional automotive career. He became a driver for Cad-Allard, Aston Martin and Maserati teams. More specifically, with a 4.1-liter Mexiso Ferrari, Shelby won the Torey Pines competition of 1955. That win eventually led him to the European race circuit; where he won the 24 Hours of LeMans 1959 competition with his co-driver, Roy Salvadori. This resulted in Aston-Martin’s acquirement of the World Manufacturing Championship. Victories continued throughout 1956 and 1957; leading him to the Sports Illustrated’s Driver of the Year. Upon winning his third USAC National Drivers Championship in 1960, his racing career came to a screeching halt. As the record shows, Shelby was not a standstill type of fellow. With outstanding visions and great drive, he decided to open Carroll Shelby Sports Cars in 1957. In February of 1962, he fabricated a 260 and four-speed automobile. With the cult-classic Shelby Cobras, Ford dominated the 1960s racing scene and inspired six decades of automobile construction and design. In fact, he collaborated on the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang; this beast is equipped with a V8 engine which outputs 650 horsepower, boasting to be the world’s most powerful in its class. 360 MAGAZINE 33 34 360 MAGAZINE The longest living heart transplant recipient in the world, Carroll Shelby, passed away this year at the age of 89. After his death, the Carroll Shelby Foundation was established to support children in need of acute coronary and kidney care. Although he is no longer with us, his contributions to both the automotive industry and society will live on with his legacy. 360 MAGAZINE 35 Haute Hipsters Photographer: Elton Anderson Fashion Stylist + Art Director: Apuje Kalu Models: Eva Kass (Elite Miami), Tatjana Maul & Michael Yi (Next Miami) Hairstylist: Cherie Combs – Ford Artists Make-Up Artist: Natasha Gross 36 360 MAGAZINE 360 MAGAZINE 37 Hat: Magid Top: Eva Danielle Pants: Eva Danielle 38 360 MAGAZINE Printed Paradise Photographer: Tim Coburn Fashion Stylist + Art Director: Apuje Kalu Model: Tyler Ocamop (Wilhelmina Models Miami) Hairstylist: James Cornwell Make-Up Artist: Gina Robinson 360 MAGAZINE 39 Success is Simple: A talk with Joe Stella Iman Dugal “You don’t count the stripes on a zebra, you enjoy them.” Let us take a moment to learn the vertebrae of Joe Moller’s success: seizing opportunity, consistent networking and hard work. Joe is not the President of Joe Moller Events, Executive Director of Downtown Los Angeles Art Walk, and occasional reality television participant (all before hitting the age of 40) because of sheer luck. Joe’s life is the classic, American, pulling himself up by his bootstraps, success story. As he pondered on his previous life experiences, it was concluded that many of us who were raised lesser privileged, seem to be motivated by possibilities the future offers; and thus, not only its opportunities for financial gain. He stated, “The importance of having wealth was not the primary goal as much as the importance of having opportunity,” a confession he shared during a high school speaking engagement. Joe was a beneficiary of philanthropy and social programs growing up and now it is his turn to give back. Naturally, he is no stranger to communal participation and outreach; in fact, he was named Philanthropist of Year by the Society of Young Philanthropists in 2007. 40 360 MAGAZINE For the first time, this past May, Art Walk launched an after school enrichment program which taps into the inner artist of urban youth. One of the missions of the program is to challenge the idea ingrained in young artists’ minds that they cannot earn a living from producing fine art. “You don’t count the stripes on a zebra, you enjoy them,” is what Joe explained during the interview concerning the topic on exhaustion. He is the type of busy that hardly has the time to get around to updating his headshots for a magazine feature. But, it is all for a good cause and more importantly, he truly enjoys the constructive energy he puts back into the world. One may only hope he finds a special someone to reciprocate that same love and passion. We might witness just that on September 2012 as he takes on the quest to find love on the hit show, “Millionaire Matchmaker.” Top: Jason Louis Studnicky Pants: Kenneth Cole Shoes: Imitation by Jerell Necklace: Viviane Guenoun Earrings: Love by Monroe Cuff: Love by Monroe Cuff: Imitation by Jerell 42 360 MAGAZINE Soak Up the Sun Photographer: Tim Coburn Fashion Stylist + Art Director: Apuje Kalu Model: Jessica Rafalowski (Next Models Miami) Hairstylist: James Cornwell Make-Up Artist: Gina Robinson 360 MAGAZINE 43 44 360 MAGAZINE Summer Daydreaming Photographer: Tim Coburn Fashion Stylist + Art Director: Apuje Kalu Model: Tyler Ocampo (Wilhelmina Models Miami) Hairstylist: James Cornwell Make-Up Artist: Gina Robinson Swimsuit: Keva by Keva J Sunglasses: Burberry 360 MAGAZINE 45 Steven Michael Quezada Veteran Comedian, Actor, Husband (to Cherise) and Father (of four), Steven Michael Quezada plays “Gomez” on the Emmy winning TV series, “Breaking Bad” on AMC, that is currently in its third season of filming. Quezada, a native New Mexican, has spent most of his life working out of Albuquerque. He studied Theatre at Eastern New Mexico University.

Lenox Magee Before Swedish House Mafia head off into the sunset, the dance music trio plan on a long goodbye with a farewell album, Until Now, and one final tour - their last show was in Miami, where it all started for the trio, on March 15th. This all happens less than a year after selling out 20,000 seats at Madison Square Garden in nine minutes, Swedish House Mafia decided to call it quits. But, fans are still wondering what happened, why split? “Because we did this move, we hope to find ourselves in a situation where we do not know what we’re doing, which is sort of us trying to create some sort of chaos, mix shit up a bit for ourselves,” Sebastian Ingrosso told Rolling Stone Magazine. 360 MAGAZINE 53 Swedish House Mafia are Sebastian Ingrosso, 30, Steve Angello, 31, and Axel “Axwell” Hedfors, 36 — three DJs with solo careers who run their own labels, but have synergetically skyrocketed together. But, they weren’t always called Swedish House Mafia. The name “Swedish House Hegarty” was adopted initially, but the group then resorted to their current name after it first appeared on forums and was used to encapsulate the group of producers that were working together in the future. The group officially formed in late 2008. Angello and Ingrosso met as children in Stockholm; Axwell was not a member until multiple years later when they contacted him after a chance meeting. “But we’ve been through everything together. I can always lean on one of their shoulders and they can lean on mine. I can always trust their opinions. When I have a track, they tell me straight away what they think. With Swedish House Mafia, you’re with friends….,” Angello said. From Left to right: Axel “Axwell” Hedfors, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso. 54 360 MAGAZINE In 2010, Swedish House Mafia won the “Best Swedish Act” award at the MTV European Ballz awards 2010. In 2011, Swedish House Mafia released a new single, “Save the World,” featuring John Martin on vocals, which charted at #10 in the UK Chart, released in May 2011. On 23 September 2011, it was confirmed that the group would play at Madison Square Garden in New York City on 16 December 2011 and Milton Keynes Bowl on 14 July 2012. In January 2012, Swedish House Mafia won an EBBA Award at the European Border Breakers Awards. After exploding onto the scene in 2010, the Swedes followed up their huge genre-defining club track ‘One’ with the Worldwide platinum-selling single ‘Miami 2 Ibiza’ featuring Tinie Tempah. Both tracks appeared on their double gold-selling compilation album ‘Until One,’ which is still in the top 50 chart nearly two years after its release. The boys followed this with top 10 UK single ‘Save The World’ last Summer. 2012 so far has seen the release of their highest charting single to date - ‘Antidote’ - a collaboration with Pendulum’s Knife Party, a second bigger and better Masquerade Motel in Miami and the release of the incendiary ‘Greyhound’ (an all-Swedish collaboration with Absolut Vodka). In an recent interview with Rolling Stone, Ingrosso referred to the break-up as an experiment. He implied that their stratospheric rise, with its ensuing copycats, might have sped up their decision to depart. “Dance music is moving so fast, if somebody does a track with a successful sound, everybody does it the second day,” he says. “So you have to try and develop more and faster. That could be one thing that led to where we are today. Because we did this move, we hope to find ourselves in a situation where we do not know what we’re doing, which is sort of us trying to create some sort of chaos, mix s#!t up a bit for ourselves,” Ingrosso said. “It’s an experiment to ourselves.” The parting is an amicable one: The producers feel they’ve accomplished all they can together, and they’re going to get back to their own projects. As part of that experiment, the three members are giving themselves the liberty to work together in the future in different pairings. Ingrosso feels like dance music is moving so fast, and there are a plethora copycats out there stealing music. 360 MAGAZINE 55 “If somebody does a track with a successful sound, everybody does it the second day. So you have to try and develop more and faster and next,” Ingrosso says. “So that could be one thing that led to where we are today [calling it quits].” Angello has performed in every corner of the globe, headlined Coachella and Madison Square Garden and started SIZE Records, While it’s unknown as to what the other duo DJs will do separately, one thing certain: the trio will never stop making music. Their latest successful track, “Don’t You Worry Child,” the group’s latest single, has become its first Top 10 hit — and, frankly, it’s the band’s only true American crossover smash. “Don’t You Worry Child” plays like a gentle farewell message. All of the familiar elements are here: stabbing, syncopated synths, the patented house music drum build-up, the acoustic guitar interlude and, most important, the desperate message of reassurance and rejection of nihilism. The narrator confesses fear, remembers heartbreak and takes refuge in the music he loves and his father’s advice: “Heaven’s got a plan for you,” goes the chorus. John Martin, the voice of “Don’t You Worry Child,” has worked with the Swedish House Mafia before. The Stockholm singer-songwriter lent his voice to the Coldplay-like “Save the World,” a 2011 record that established the Swedish House Mafia as stateside stars. Save the World” has been described as a big, muscular, brotherly arm wrapped around everybody on the dance floor. “We’ve done things I never thought I’d do! I talk to my friends about those things, like being able to do Madison Square Garden, or going up on a headline slot at a festival against a band like Coldplay. We never thought we’d be doing that. All of a sudden you’re there in front of 60,000 people and everyone is going nuts to your music. We grew up loving what we do, and Swedish House Mafia was a special example of the idea that if you love something and you work hard enough, you’ll get there.” It seems that “Don’t You Worry Child” plays like a gentle farewell message. All of the familiar elements are here: patented house music drum buildup, melancholy, the acoustic guitar interlude. The narrator confesses fear, remembers heartbreak, takes refuge in the music he loves and his father’s advice. “Heaven’s got a plan for you,” goes the chorus. 56 360 MAGAZINE Here are Swedish House Mafia’s classic closing words: “We came, we raved, we loved,” Swedish House Mafia.

Anchored by the recently released smash single “How Deep Is Your Love” featuring Kelly Rowland, “Got 2 Luv U” featuring Alexis Jordan and “She Doesn’t Mind,” “Tomahawk Technique” has already topped the charts across the globe after being released with rave reviews. “I took a different approach on this album in every way,” said Sean Paul. “I worked with a lot of pop producers and challenged them to make their interpretation of a dancehall beat while also collaborating with some artists I’ve always admired but never had the chance to work with. The reaction to the album so far has been incredible but I am excited for it to come out in the States and to be able to support it with a great tour.” “Tomahawk Technique” is the next step in Sean’s continual pop dominance, the next in a wave of classic albums that also includes the multi-platinum, Grammy-winning classic Dutty Rock and the platinum smash The Trinity.

The all-new 2013 model is even punchier, better balanced and more exhilarating. The new chassis has a more dynamic specification, giving you agility and precision while keeping you planted, and better weight distribution and geometry give you an athletic, responsive ride. The heart of the Street Triple is the throbbing 675cc triple, delivering 106PS and 68Nm of torque. It’s so good you’ll have trouble believing its only 675cc. The torque and sound of the liquid cooled 12 valve triple, combined with a close ratio six speed gearbox produce an exciting ride, and the under-engine silencer helps lower the centre gravity and improve handling. It looks even better too, with stylish brushed metal finishes, aggressive headlights and a choice of colored coded styling accessories complementing the dark powder coated engines and frames. triumphmotorcycles.com 76 360 MAGAZINE Fiat 500c by Gucci Fiat and Gucci present the “500C by Gucci,” an important partnership between two brands that have always expressed Italian genius and creativity across the world.

Before any other outlet, he did an exclusive with 360! 360 MAGAZINE 79 Somebody You Still Know Stella Iman Dugall Center stage of the Radio City Music Hall in pitch darkness, a spotlight adorned a standing Gotye with a keyboard and microphone- sheer simplicity. With no curtains to be drawn in the midst of his opening, a vibrant array of animations danced across a desolate HD screen to the drummers beat. A few bars later, Kimbra eloquently sings, “Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over” in the soulfulpop collaboration, “Somebody That I Used to Know” from his latest album Making Mirrors. This stylish, diverse, sold-out, crowd that slightly resembles a United Colors of Benetton advertisement, immediately jumped to their feet. What an epic experience that words will always fall short in describing. When Science and Technology invite Music to join a triad wed, the perfect eclectically arises: Australia’s very own Gotye, formerly known as Wouter (Wally) de Backer. There is a plethora of information concerning his mega hit, anecdotally mentioned above, but it seems as though the U.S is still deciphering this, Gotye. He is a multi-instrumentalist and certainly holds musical engineering skills, which goes without saying if you know he built his studio in his parents’ barn. Whether Gotye may be labeled as a musician or “tinkerer” is of no concern. Similar to musical artist Kanye West, Gotye is a master of sampling and blending sounds. “Sampling was a real breath of fresh air… I just felt really excited when I kind of discovered taking breaks from records and treating the material on lots of cheaply available and interesting music to me that I’ve never heard of.”* Followers know his gift of birthing these individualistic sounds from inspirational gadgets ranging from oversized metal strings attached to a fence to peas dropping on a surface to resemble a snare. He may find inspiration from simply scrambling eggs, he shares on a Google + hang out with some fans. Music is certainly in the ears of the beholder and to Gotye’s advantage, there have been at least 3.3 million views of “Somebody I Used to Know” on Youtube and has about 839,527 listeners of all time, according to Last.fm. Certainly there are enough ears that behold his unique popish sound as profound music. What sets Gotye apart from other pop artists is his value of quality over quantity. In fact, it took about six months to finalize “Somebody I Used to Know”. He is not too worried about elapsed time while creating songs, “taking two years to make a record was not because I was working on that record everyday for two years refining, refining, refining… then I decide they weren’t right of that album or just, you know, it was a little journey that I took that was fun, interesting and taught me something. Then something sparks and a song happens.”† Pop music has always been revered for its sound, and what it has lacked in lyrical significance has been made up in its infectious rhythm. Gotye combines intrinsic melodies along with lyrics that connote below surface analysis that is not at the least pretentious. Often times using sound experimentations to prompt his song writing. His music and videos are simply, pleasantly engaging. Gotye being a nominee in the MTV 2012 Video Music Awards for “Video of the Year” speaks to his talent. He was in the running with some big names, the likes of Rihanna, Katy Perry and M.I.A, all of whom have large fan bases. It is safe to say that Gotye has officially crossed over and grassroots fans ask, will it change him or his style like previous artists that tip toe into the American music market? No, Gotye is one of those gems that will probably choose not to compose for the sake of mass-production. Awarded with the 2012 Australia Aria’s Music Awards for “Album of the Year” shows that time put forth for perfection is not hindering. He values the rarity of his art and is careful not to dilute the quality. The essence of his music encompasses creativity and imagination that is unique to the producer. gotye.com 80 360 MAGAZINE 2013 GRAMMY AWARDS: Record of the Year Best Pop Duo/Group Performance Best Alternative Music Album 360 MAGAZINE 81 82 360 MAGAZINE 7-50430003.jpg She was Framed Photographer: Ron Contarsy - Highmark Studios (www.roncontarsy.com) Photographer Assistant: Craig Lamere Model: Rachel Niu Wardrobe: Erin O’Keefe Wardrobe Assistant: Eliza Spear Hair + Makeup: Emi Koizumi Dress: YSL Gloves: Ferraggamo Tights: Falke Shoes: Nine West Bag: Elaine Turner 360 MAGAZINE 83 Three’s Company Photographers: Quintin Perez + Ron Erick Odchigue (qurostudios.com) Models: Chris Jackson - Request Models, Cyril Dundera - NY Models + Chris H. - VNY Models Wardrobe: Victor Gonzalez (victorgonzalezstyle.com) Wardrobe Assistants: Monica Blackmon and Ariel Jara Grooming: Brian David Daigle (briandaviddaigle.com) 84 360 MAGAZINE Sweater: Carhartt Blazer + Vest: Fred Perry Raincoat: Wezc Pants: Miguel Antoine Glasses: DSquared2 Bag + Shoes: Doc Marten 360 MAGAZINE 85 makersmark.com Ke$ha Releases Another Hit With Baby-G!

But an increasingly complex home life, and a persistent, growing threat at school, soon carry her into a world of reckless ambivalence. A visceral coming-of-age story, Yelling to the Sky features a sobering, breakthrough performance from Kravitz, with an all-star supporting cast including Jason Clarke (Public Enemies, Kathryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty, Baz Lurhman’s The Great Gatsby); Gabourey Sidibe (Best Actress nominee for Precious, Tower Heist); Tim Blake Nelson (O Brother, Where Art Thou?) and Antonique Smith (Abduction, Notorious).

In its first incursion into festivals, it was officially selected to Raindance 2012 (London) but the producers had to retire it due to post production adjustments. Nowadays, He is working in the development of the script of a film called Cataclysm for the USA. The project was originally conceived as a tv series but It has been adapted to a feature film. About J. Falero and El Clan Jaime Falero has a degree in dramatic art, specialized in performance. He has worked from his beginnings with Goya, Spanish cinema awards, awarded actors and actresses like Maribel Verdú or Jose Sancho or other nominated actors like Javier Cifrián or Carlos Bardem. Falero considers himself a humble cinema worker who does not conceive a shooting with less than thirty shots filmed daily, as can be seen in El Clan, a thriller set in the thirties, shot in twenty one working days with more than 650 shots. The budget was also smaller than 500.000 Euros. His main virtue is to make the budget grow and multiply by 5 or 10 in the outcome, with complex shots planned by the director in the well-prepared storyboards. They are conceived to get from them the best economic and artistic performance. filmcanaryislands.com 360 MAGAZINE 97 benelli.co.uk barenjagerhoney.com Metamorphose Consistent Change Photographer: David Benoliel (davidbenolielphotography.com) Model: Gina - Ford Models Wardrobe: Veronica Camacho - Ford Artists Hair + Makeup: J.Patrick using Kerastase - Ford Artists Headpiece: Designed by Stylist Fur: Stylist’s Own 100 360 MAGAZINE Headpiece: Designed by Stylist Cuff: Charles Albert Dress: Eduardo De Las Casas 360 MAGAZINE 101 chanel.com A Courier’s Day in Tokyo Photographer: Nori Edamatsu - AVGVST Models: Jun - Team Evviva + Kayanna J. - Team Models Wardrobe: Yukiko Kato Hair + Makeup: Junko Kobayashi 104 360 MAGAZINE 360 MAGAZINE 105 Suit: Gene Par - Botan Ave. Showroom Dress: Shida Tatsuya - Botan Ave. Showroom 106 360 MAGAZINE 108 360 MAGAZINE Waiting for Juliet Photographer: Leonard Poteat Wardrobe + Designer: Andrew Nowell (andrewnowell.com) Hair: Derick Monroe 360 MAGAZINE 109 110 360 MAGAZINE martinmillersgin.com audemarspiguet.com Timeless Man may change but style doesn’t.
