ARDOR: Career

have an intimate chat with top stylist

Jane de Teliga

Throughout this magazine, ARDOR has prized itself on only praising the emerging; this article comes with a twist. We are having an intimate chat with the experienced stylist, Jane de Teliga. Jane de Teliga has a background of working with big names and pulling off big projects, so as a budding creative trying to get heard, we thought it would be beneficial to learn from the succesful, educated and well respected. Jane’s career started as a curator for an art gallery and from there onwards, one job lead to bigger jobs and she landed herself a career which has seen her sitting front row at all the top fashion shows, sharing meals with Giorgio Armani and being requested on set by Nicole Kidman. That aside, she remains with her feet on the ground and as charming as ever. Hope you enjoy!

When did you realize that this was your preferred career choice?I started as an art curator and doing fashion exhibitions when the editor in chief of the biggest Australian newspaper approached me and asked me what I thought of the fashion pages. I said ‘they’re horrible,” and made suggestions to improve it, and he then asked me, when would I like to start. I had my own page every week, and was really thrown into the deep end, so that’s how I fell into the job really, but I had always been obsessed with fashion.How long did it take you to get from the beginning of your career to the peak of it?My trajectory into a styling career is not typical, but I

have had a lot of people working for me, so for me the best way to get into a job like this is to make sure you’re persistent and do lots and lots of work experience, and keep asking to the border of being annoying, otherwise you won’t always get it.Have you ever had times in your life where you regret choosing this path?Very emotional question, yes... but then I change what I’m doing - styling has sometimes been the dominant thing I do, sometimes writing and sometimes lecturing has been the dominant thing I do, and in-between I curate. I’ve always diversified and that’s why I’m still employed now, when I’m at an age where I should be in the south of France with my feet up. If you’re going to be in this industry you must always update and diversify yourself. If you are a stylist, you have to be a stylist; a blogger, a writer, a photographer and you need to be able to do graphic design. So if you’re a stylist your not just a stylist, you need to be multi-faceted and multi-experienced, because the industry is in a very fluid state at the moment so unless youire flexible or have a lot of different skills you can’t rely on one field.What has been the highlight in your career so far?The highlight of my career is all the cover shoots I have done - about 300 so far. I spent eight years at the Australian Women’s Weekly, which was the biggest Australian magazine, we shot royalty, movie stars, local television people, the Olympians and all other sports stars. I’ve done everyone from Nicole Kidman to the Duchess of York, Prime Ministers and pop stars. Then, of Course, at Good Housekeeping which perhaps isn’t the chic-est magazine of them all but it is the second most popular women’s magazine in the country, I styled people such as Twiggy, Jerry Hall, Fiona Bruce, Lorraine Kelly, Julie Walters, Jamie Oliver and Trinny and Susannah. for the cover.Who was your favourite?I loved Jamie Oliver, He was adorable and bouncing around like a kid, he’s exactly what you see on television, we did him as a kind of sexy James Bond in a smart tuxedo, because I thought it would be nice to get him away from the scruffy Essex boy image. Twiggy is really good to do because she’s such an icon and full of fascinating stories, she knows what she wants and people could be scared of her, but she’s great.When have you been most intimidated by the expectations of your job and how did you overcome your fear?The biggest secret is preparation, just prepare, prepare, prepare. So if you’re shooting a celebrity, you have to realize everyone isn’t a size 8, if the’re not a size 8 you cant’ borrow from a PR agency, you need to pull every contact you have, you need to beg borrow steal to get what you need. I’m a size 12, and so are a lot of celebrities because it’s the average woman’s size, so I used to try everything on the night before so that I knew what looked good. It always made me a good stylist; you could see what an outfit needed before the day. You

need to be sensible and make sure you have the perfect kit. People that fail in this industry, are the people that go into it for the glamour, because the glamour is an illusion. The people that know how to work hard get far. I’ve lugged 30 kilos of clothes up stairs, across countries, from Marrakesh to Majorca. You need to be a worker; you just have to work hard like everything else.What tips would you give someone going for an interview in the creative industry?You need to look stylish if you’re going for a fashion interview. You can’t look trashy, cheap, make sure you do your nails, your make-up needs to look beautiful: grooming is really important. Even if you don’t have huge amounts of money, you don’t need to wear designer names. You can buy Zara and Primark, it ’s how you put things together and if you add some vintage into your look it shows a bit of individuality. What else? A smile, a nice smile is really important along side having an engaging personality. Don’t be too scared, if you’re really scared you need to take a deep breath and be yourself. Don’t forget to prepare.

What advice would you give someone who is trying to break into the industry?My advice is you have to dream a little. You have to think of what you would really like to do, and then visualize it and once you’re clear on what your dream is, you then set about making it happen. Sometimes when you’ve got it clear in your head and you’ve got this very firm idea of where you’d like to end up, it ’s surprising how life and the universe conspires to make that happen. My new age advice would be, you just got to visualize what you want and then you have to be consistent about finding it.Think about whom you would like to work with, whom you admire, where would you like to work and then research as much as you can. You should call them and write them a letter. If it ’s a magazine, don’t just ring the editor, ring the fashion assistants for their help and ask how you can get in and make an appointment. I used to receive a hundred emails and there was no way I could look at them all, so the fashion assistants were really the key to getting in. So you ring, see who the assistants are, you try to speak to them on top of sending an email. Make sure you have a well-styled photograph of yourself on your CV as it gives people an instant idea of what you’re like. Some people say “oh you shouldn’t have a picture on the CV” but withinPTO ->

this industry because it is so visual I think you should, because it’s fashion. Always try more then twice, the third time is when it will happen, third time lucky.Who has been most influential to you during your career?Not so much who, because I’m self-directed. I haven’t followed anyone - I’ve been given things to do and other things have followed. The people that inspire me are the people in the magazines, who I think have great style, so all the icons. Designers in particular inspire me because of how incredibly original they are. Some of the shows I’ve seen really inspire me such as John Galliano, Christian Dior and Alexandra McQueen: in their day they did the most amazing shows, and there was a combination of so many talents. There were catwalk producers, stylist, set designers, hair stylist, make-up and they were just the apotheosis of original. So I think if you want to be inspired, you need to watch the shows and keep up-to-date. Also, Anna Wintour, for instance, people may think she’s cold, but she has a great vision and she sticks to it. Magazines such as American Vogue, British Vogue, Italian Vogue, because they all change according to the mood of fashion. Oh and, of course, photographers, Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Tim Walker, they are so inspiring. People with a vision - that inspires me.Have you ever been star-struck?Aw, star-struck? That’s an interesting question, I’ve shot so many people, it became a job, I wouldn’t get start-struck, I’ve worked with Nicole Kidman a number of times on her request. The most star-struck I’ve been is when I first started to do the shows and I was invited to Giorgio Armani’s for dinner and it was a private dinner - not a fashion party. It was in his apartment with 30 people. There were people there like Eric Clapton and Martin Scorsese, I was sitting on the sofa thinking “oh my God, what am I doing here”? That was very early days and gradually I got used to it. You just need to be yourself.How have you dealt with working with difficult people?Because I’m quite bossy and quite willful I’ve had to learn how to do that and be diplomatic. There’s always a time in a shoot where I need to impose what I believe the shoot should be. That’s always a tricky moment. For me you must include people in a discussion and ask people what they think. I like to welcome ideas but there are times when I need to have the courage of my convictions to get what I came for. The great thing about working in a team is the collaboration. You are not on your own and it’s great hearing everyone’s ideas before making your decisions. As a stylist I am usually the creative director too and not just dressing people. I was the person that directed the whole concept which gave me a lot of power, but that needs to be used judiciously. Difficult celebs are a different matter - I’ve had to bite my tongue a few times. What I’ve discovered is if you let them wear the hideous thing they want to wear for one shot, then show them the

pictures and then change them into what you want them to wear - they usually see what you were trying to do and you get your own way. The more minor stars are the most difficult and suprisingly the bigger stars are more professional.Has there ever been a time when you haven’t been prepared and everything has just gone completely wrong?I’m mostly pretty prepared, in our time I have done some pretty hair-raising things with my team, we’ve have slogged through rainforest in the mud, shot with a herd of elephants with Steve Irwin’s daughter in front of them. You have to be ingenious and think on your feet.

7even ways to wear it

We all know its hard to keep up with all the ever changing trends from season to season when cash flow isn’t always at a high disposal. Thats why we think it ’s important to invest in prime pieces that can go further. We believe in cost per wear and making a bold statement no matter what look you decide to rock. The white blazer seemed to make a punchy reappearance over and over again on the spring/ summer catwalks, and boy, we loved it. Whether you consider

yourself a head strong yet elegant woman or a tomboy with a stylish

edge the white blazer can be pulled off whether your indulging in casual wear or playing with your alter ego. Narciso Rodriguez teamed his blazer with sporty slouch wear whilst playing with the monochrome trend; in contrast to Phillip Lim who paired the white blazer with a sexy leather two-piece. If you’re not as daring and would rather play it safe; Stella McCartney and Calvin Klein both went for an alpha female look and busted a hard lined white blazer with nothing but white garments to

give off a strong and sassy yet

summery look. Personally here at Ardor we think this is the perfect way to revamp any outfit even if your trying to restyle pieces from your spring/summer 2012 wardrobe. Bearing in mind you can never trust English weather a stylish jacket is the way forward. We’ve looked around and Zara has one for £79.99 and this really does the job as it accentuates the woman’s waist yet still gives

off a boyfriend blazer twist.

Here is the first hand guide to spring/summer 2013’s best trends in beauty.

ARDOR: Beauty

This summer’s glow is all about a natural bronzed skin paired with an intense dash of colour. Brazilian tan topped off with fuschia, lime or peach makes a crowning combo. The trick to that off-the-beach look, is to keep your skin moisturised, embrace those freckles and keep a soft dewy texture to the skin. Let your hair dry naturally and sweep it back off the face to celebrate those jawlines.Fresh off the Michael Korrs s/s13 collection models wore a painted line of green across their lids; whether you choose to play safe or play hard, you can’t go wrong.

its only a matter of time

the invisible bikeJimmy Kuehnle, an artist from San Antonio has designed a completly transparent bike. Quoted from the man himself: he says,“Yes, the cycle is completely transparent, except for the chain and bearings. Constructed of Lexan or “bullet proof glass,” the bike exists in a dual reality as sculpture and transportation. Once again the outfit compliments the bicycle sculpture this time as a clear vinyl suit. Citizens

“Well then you understood my work! whats the point in me building something, and spending hours upon hours,

days upon days and weeks upon weeks creating something, if your only going to put it into

words.?”Eugene Tierney

of Austin and San Antonio saw all or nothing since the bike and the suit were “invisible.” I guess when we were kids and we pretended we had invisible friends or objects, our kids really will. To read more visit: http://www.jimmykuehnle.

Imagine a world where it’s pouring down with rain, yet you wont get wet. Im not talking about walking around with the best umbrella known to man, im talking about the famous rain room installation at the Barbican Centre. The exceptional success of the installation kept it open for a day longer than scheduled. The rain room was a 100 sq metre of falling water, it mimicked the worse raining day, yet as a visitor you were able to walk around the installation and you remain as dry as you were before you entered.

ARDOR: Music

The under-ground kidsOver the past couple of years the underground music scene has become a portal for up and coming artists - at last receiving the recognition that both the scene and its DJs deserve. This, of course, is a plus in terms of artists securing record deals and promoters spreading their wings, but it does leave us questioning whether this mainstream recognition will ultimately cost the scene its soul. The term house music, which derives from ‘The Warehouse’ club in Chicago, represents the unity of people through the power of music - something that the commercial house music world has possibly lost hold of - thanks to DJs and producers selling out to become a brand. Also, until recently the underground scene remained in the shadows, keeping a firm (but sweaty) grip on its raw sounds, secret locations and community feel.Techno, which was kick started in Detroit by the likes of Derrick ‘Mayday’ May, has greatly influenced the UK’s underground scene, channelling sounds from the likes of Berlin and Romania to the London dance-floor, uniting underground kids through the power of basslines and hi-hats. A true underground kid not only worships the sound but also possesses the knowledge of where the it came from, identifying those track names that Shazaam can’t even find – well that was the case until its partnership with Beatport, announced in February.

However recently, causing much dismay to the purists; snap backs, vests, and Nike Air Max’s have ignited a commercial flame that beams down on all East London warehouses. I won’t dwell on the shufflers for too long but they do perfectly represent the change in the underground movement over the past couple of years. In 2011 shufflers weren’t seen at London parties, Fuse, Crèche or Art of Dark or partying in Ibiza; we can only assume the blame lies with the ‘deep’, blurred line that merges the underground with the mainstream. Typically, the majority of underground DJs are strangers to the celebrity profile, walking on by without anybody realising – unless you too were an underground kid. But now with the underground scene rubbing shoulders with mainstream the crowd is undoubtedly changing. Deep house is a great example of the ‘blur ’ and I can’t help but point the finger at Jamie Jones and his Hot Creations/Hot Natured Empire. Jamie Jones, a renowned ‘techno star ’, began playing the London circuit – Fabric in particular, and hosting his own party ‘djscandance’, enjoying many years of playing for an adoring underground crowd. He soon became part of Crosstown Rebels’ extended family and further developed his sound into everything that an underground kid yearned for. But with stars in his eyes and a hunger for fame, Jones stepped foot into the mainstream’s world of pleasantries and dollar, quickly becoming ‘the face’ of the so called underground scene.

By Hannah Davies

ARDOR: Music

Just as Miguel Campbell’s track described, the sound of deep house was quickly assumed as being “something special, sexy, wonderful”, which led the way to the scene changing from something intimate and carefully tailored to a commercial commodity - anything but wonderful! Jones represented the ‘cool’ underground movement and pulled in shufflers from far and wide, but can we blame him and other artists for playing and producing music that they love? I doubt it. Unfortunately, it is just the price that the scene has to pay for promoting its talents in a bid to receive the recognition that it deserves, although perhaps not always what it wanted. It ’s important to remember that the underground scene, which on the whole welcomes fellow purists, isn’t an elite member ’s only club but it is a treasured sub-genre and culture, which suffers at the hands of commercialism.

Meet the talentedcojakYou may not know them and you may not of heard of them but COJAK is a raw emerging talent from the south east ends of the country. At just 20 years old, this trio have developed a funky sound with an acclectic edge and deserve a bit of recognition. Ardor have been lucky to get in touch with charming guitar player and singer, Sam Walker, for a friendly interview. Questions have been asked so you guys can get to know, be inspired or just have a laugh. Hope you enjoy.

How did you meet and decide to become a band?We met at school and started the band around Year 12 I think. Dan and I walked into one of the practice rooms in the music department, heard Ken play bass for the first time and we were pretty amazed. We suggested the idea of starting a band to him and it went from there!

Did you always know that you wanted to pursue a career in music?I wouldn’t say that I want to pursue a career in music, as I’m studying for my degree at the moment, but music is a massive part of my life and is something I don’t see myself ever turning away from completely.

How would you best describe your

sound?I’d say we were pretty upbeat! Hopefully a sound that people can have a good boogie to.

What advice would you give someone who is trying to break into the industry?Be yourself, and play music that you enjoy.

What has been your biggest set back?Money issues. We’ve always struggled getting money together to pay for recordings and equipment.

What keeps you going when things feel bad?Just the main reason you got into it. As long as

you’re enjoying the music, it ’s all good.

Who’s your greatest support?I’d say our parents are great support but especially Dan’s Mum, Sylvie. She drives us around all the time and we always say if we ever won an award, she’d be the first person we’d thank!!

What’s your favourite ice cream?Toughie... Can’t go wrong with a bit of Ben and Jerry ’s cookie dough.

What super power would you have if you had the choice for 24 hours?Flight.

If you had to pick one meal for the rest of your life, what would you pick?Tomato pasta bake with loads of melted cheese on top.

ARDOR: Music

Who are your main influences?I really enjoy Fleet Foxes and a guy called Gregory Porter at the moment. Both do exactly what they want and I respect that.

Who’s the leader of the pack?Haha you can’t ask that, you’ll be causing band riffs! I’d say we all lead in different ways.

Who’s the biggest push over?None of us, actually. We’re all pretty self-assured when it comes to band matters. We like to adopt a chilled-out approach as well, otherwise arguments get started.!

As a band what’s your most embarrassing story?We were playing live and the guitar completely cut out. I started singing Kumbaya acapella trying to get the audience involved but they weren’t having it! Either that or doing a band interview for someones A-Level media project. We couldn’t stop laughing the whole way through it.

What has been your greatest achievement?One of our songs was used on a BBC programme. We only found out because a friend told us. Made us feel pretty cool for a day.

Trending leads from boredom, the boredom that leads us to desire desires. And the boredom, which leads us to fulfil the desires, we desire... Boredom is the dissatisfaction with the normal, the striving for things forbidden, and coveting those denied us. The thirst to fight the restrictions and the hunger to rebel against the rebel. To Quench your curiosity, to grasp the forever parallel and the appetite to entertain the senses of human boundaries.

I’m not a hard person to please but when I’m spending my money to go somewhere nice, I need more then just sun, sea and sand. Of course, naturally this is a number one preference but when you find yourself visually stimulated by your surroundings

the beach of Kavos or the hotel apartment in Tenerife just doesn’t cut it. This year Ardor magazine has done the research, be the first out of your friends to experience 2013’s emerging hot spot, Georgia. Don’t worry, I’m not talking Georgia in the US, I’m talking the less heard of, rural country Tbilisi on the outskirts of southern Russia crossroads between Europe and Asia.

Time can be seen as the structure of life. The way we see and use it is to make order of things and introduce practicality and

boundaries to life.

“No color. How boring!! I do not like white, so pure and clean that can become any other color. What

really captivates me is the colors. Color range that wrap everything it touches. Colored life became, shades of sky blue, smiling sun invites me, a winter painting

summers. My world is a thousand color, my life resembles a fairy”

“I guess when it’s time, it’s time To sit on back, watch the unraveling of the rhyme

Words fall right out of my mouth Rhetoric that doesn’t leave a doubt

Like ABC, 123, color in the empty walls that I seeGet all the lines that reflect and protect

What is correct, I’m so inept to adaptTo the cynicism, invisible to the sinners eye

I’m unplugging the grid mind by mindMy oh my just how slick and sly am I

I’m just trying to make some sense of my breathUntil I solve the pinnacle of the puzzle I will not rest

For rest of y’all here comes a breakdownOf the schizophrenic hallucinogenic genetic type

Biological synthetic hype”Otis Hemlock

“Suspension”On average, humans spend one third of their entire lives sleeping and will dream over 150 000 dreams.

During this time there are no laws, limitations or restrictions. “Suspension” is an exploration of the creative abilities of our subconscious minds and a visual portrayal of the surreal nature of

dreams.

“Two lands that the Maasai travel between.”

This one off necklace is made from the traditional Japanese technique of mokume-gane, with a unique modern twist. The technique fuses layers of metal together, in this vase there are four to eight layers of copper and silver, which have been worked into in various ways to create these amazing surface patterns. The metal has then been hand forged and treated to darken and colour the metal to enhance the detail. It comes on an understated leather cord, with a handmade mokume-gane clasp.

“30 DAYS”Hatch, hatch little egg,

I’m so very small.Teeny tiny caterpillar,You can’t see me at all.

Crawl, caterpillar, crawl,Munching on a leaf.

Crawling, munching, crawling, munching,Eat and eat and eat.

Form, form chrysalis,I’m a different shape;

Hanging by a silken threadUntil I can escape.

Rest, rest, chrysalisWhile I change inside;

Now at last my time has comeTo be a butterfly.

Stretch, stretch, pretty wings,It’s a special day;

Soon they will be strong enoughFor me to fly away.

Fly, fly, butterfly,Fly from flower to tree;

Find a place to lay my eggsSo they can grow like me.2003 Suzy Gazlay
