Image

ALWAYS IN STYLE WITH BROOKE CHAMBERLAIN

Image
Why do we love fashion so much? Whether it’s a couture outfit or our favorite pair of worn jeans, it all counts as fashion. For most people, it’s because what we wear helps us to cultivate a certain emotion and/or sense of confidence. While contrarians will discount the fashion community and industry as superficial, most of the world comprehends that fashion is a tool which allows them to have a sense of control in their lives. Australian Brooke Chamberlain is a successful and lauded actress who has appeared in a host of award-winning and publicly embraced films but she’s also a lover of fashion. When the creators of the series Fashion News Live wanted a host for some of the most important industry events of the year, they selected Chamberlain to assume this position. An actor’s job it to get in touch with their own connection to something and then display this to the viewer; who better than a fashion fan who is a respected and talented actress? As host of the Amazon Prime streaming ...

For many top models like Australia’s Holly Kagis it’s about personal growth and experiencing life. Kagis has an internationally successful and busy modelling career but it’s not the exact path she intended for herself.

MAKING THE STARS BEAUTIFUL IN AUSTRALIA

Image
Society and academia can have all of the nature vs. nurture arguments they like, Lauren Mackellar knows the truth; it’s both and neither. That is to say, the determination of the human spirit supersedes all factors. Mackellar is an admired and envied hairstylist to the stars in Australia who is from a small town that neither embraced or was deeply interested in high fashion or the hair and beauty that walks hand in hand with it in the entertainment/celebrity world. Alexandra (in north-east Victoria, Australia) did have one young tomboy who found herself suddenly obsessed with magazines from a young age though, and was definitely interested in the more “girly” stuff like hair and makeup. When a popular TV series filmed just across the fence of her family’s yard, it planted the seed of interest in film and TV that would set Lauren upon the course to become a hairstylist and working with the actors on these types of productions. Besides giving her a ringside seat to the entertainment wor...

MAKING FITNESS AND FASHION FRIENDS WITH RANDI KENNEDY

Image
Randi Kennedy is opinionated; not in a preachy or condescending way, in fact…quite the opposite. As someone who made a decision that she wanted to change her habits, her life, and her health to become a happier and more engaged individual…she feels that anyone can do what she has done if they will only educate and apply themselves. As a means of doing this she has embraced one of the most ubiquitous aspects of modern life; social media. Using this vehicle to connect with and inform the public, Kennedy imparts her knowledge and her positivity to her followers. Social Media Influencer is one title that can be used to describe her. Ambassador for health supplements such as 1UP Nutrition is another. Fitness model for fashion companies like Live Fit apparel is yet another. The common thread in all of these is Randi’s stringent commitment to interacting with people and helping them to understand that there are many ways of living a better life. This Canadian is living proof. Imparting her ...
