FINDING THE PERFECT You finally got an invitation to the
hottest party of the season but you
have nothing to wear! Searching for
that perfect party dress can be
stressful. It is very rare that a woman
gets it absolutely right and picks a
formal dress that truly makes her
stand out from the crowd no matter
PartyDress
where she goes. When searching for a
party dresses, take the following things
into consideration to ensure that you
are a knockout at any event.
SHINE BRIGHT
Try some sequins on for size to
let the diva in you shine
Give the New Year's Eve Ball some
competition with a sequined
dress that sparkles from head to
toe. Accessorize the look with a
megawatt smile, teasingly remind
your fellow holiday partygoers to
shield their eyes and you're
bound to light up the room.
FIND THE PERFECT COLOR.
Though you may worry you'll
clash with stockings and Santa
suits, remember that red is one of
the sexiest colors on a woman -
all year round! It's the most
wonderful time of the year to
flaunt it.
Black and white is always classic
and sophisticated, but a pop of
bright color keeps it current and
party-ready
TRY SOMETHING NEW
Ask yourself what your favourite
parts are, and don’t be shy to
accentuate that area with the help
of your dress.
be clear on the dress code. Little
is more uncomfortable than
feeling over- or under-dressed
for an occasion. Once you know
what you're dressing for, you’ll be
ready to rock'n'roll and find that
perfect dress for your occasion.

Chiara Ferragni inherited from her mother the passion for fashion and
photography. When she was a teenager, she already became popular on the first
online communities, where she shared photos she took with her friends. In 2009,
when blogs were not yet the phenomenon of today, she launched
TheBlondeSalad.com, as a full expression of herself.
Today, Chiara Ferragni collaborates with major fashion houses and designer
brands, she fronts the cover of the most read magazines worldwide. Meanwhile,
she also acts as the creative director of her namesake shoe line which is entirely
Made in Italy. It comes as no surprise when she was recognized by BoF and
Forbes as one of the most influential personalities of the international fashion
world.

BEST
MAKEUP
EVER
MakeUp Artist Yolande' Denise
When did you decide "okay, this is it, I'm
going to be a professional make up artist?"
The day I decided today is the day I was
going to be a professional makeup artist was
when... I was home one day my son was
home sick from pre-school one day. I was
watching a Total Music Video in 1994. I had
already been working for Laura Mercier
Cosmetics in Macys San Francisco. I said to
myself I can do that make money and really
get to express my love for the art of makeup
creating beautiful looks all the time for TV
and film.
What is the most memorable job you've
done?
All of my jobs are very rememberable. What
most rewarding is to see what you've
created actually come to life on screen or in
print. Red Carpets are very special
Grammys, Golden Globes and covers of
magazines are very exciting.
30
What are the three tools in your
make up kit that you can never, ever
be without?
1) Laura Mercier Primer
2) Secret camouflage
3) Oil free foundation
“IT'S
IMPORTANT TO
KEEP A SENSE
OF SELF AND
LOVE THE
WOMAN YOU
SEE IN THE
MIRROR”
Advice for young make up artists who
are just starting out and want to be
where you are, at the top of the
industry?
My advice to young makeup artist
coming up today. Be yourself. Don't ever
stop learning. There are so many
different aspects to makeup many things
to create. Connecting to whatever it is
your creating can bring about some
beautiful works of art.

THE
VICTORIA'S
SECRET
FASHION
SHOW
2016
#VSFASHIONSHOW
TMN MAGAZINE / 32

This year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
held in Paris, the fashion capital of the
world and the City of Love on November
30 – was the biggest and best yet.
This year's angels included Kendall Jenner
and Gigi Hadid, who both made their
debuts at last year's show.
Heading the bill was Lady Gaga, who
performed three tracks from her new
album Joanne.
Also on the bill was diminutive pop star
Bruno Mars who performed 24K Magic
from his new album of the same name.
Bruno had previously appeared at the
2012 Victoria’s Secret Show.
Completing the line-up was The Weeknd
who performed hit Starboy.
VIt's the most
wonderful time
of the year...
the biggest event
in everyones
calendar has arrived.
The 2016 Victoria's
Secret Fashion Show in
Paris not only brought
out the hottest
supermodels of the
moment, but it also
showcased some of the
most desirable
lingerie pieces this
season.
TMN MAGAZINE / 34

SEach year, twenty to forty of the
world’s top fashion models are
selected to perform in the fashion
show.
This year, 52 models in total
blessed us with their beauty on
the VS runway, meaning this
show featured the largest group
of girls to ever take to the VS
Catwalk!
THE $3 MILLION BRIGHT
NIGHT FANTASY BRA
Every year, Victoria's Secret chooses
one model to wear this dazzling
showpiece, which varies from show
to show.
This year Jasmin Tookes wore the
Bright Night Fantasy Bra, showcasing
9000 gemstones, 450 carats and
worth approximately £2.4million
($3million.)
Eddie Borgo is the designer of the
Victoria’s Secret Bright Night Fantasy
Bra, it took over 700 hours to create.
That's peanuts compared to the Red
Hot Fantasy Bra worn by Gisele
Bundchen in 2000 — at £12million,
the most expensive piece of lingerie
ever made.
We wanted to show you some of our
favourite looks from this year's VS
extravaganza, well, we say 'some' but
there are loads. Some of our favourite
ladies starred in this year's show
including Adriana Lima, Alessandra
Ambrosio, Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid,
Bella Hadid, Georgia Fowler, Sara
Sampaio, Josephine Skriver, Stella
Maxwell, Joan Smalls, Taylor Hill, Martha
Hunt, okay okay, there are too many to
name! You’re probs going to want to sit
down because the perfection is just too
much to handle.

KIMMARIE
Woman Of The Year
JOHNSON

TMNexclusives
KIMMARIE
JOHNSON
At a time when fame could
only be attained by word of
mouth and a very closely
knit group of media houses,
Ms Kimmarie Johnson
pierced through the
competition and made her
mark on the world stage by
the sheer power of her
personality. Without prior
training and the guidance of
any industry guru, Kimmarie
went from being the
daughter of Frank and Carol
Johnson of Wilkinsburg,
Pennsylvania to travelling
the globe as a stewardess for
the then famed PanAm, to
being a feature model for
fashion icons such as the
United Colors of Benetton,
Oscar de la Renta and a
contender for several major
film roles.
Written by JEREMIAH FOSTER
To describe Kimmarie Johnson as one
of the most beautiful women on Earth
would be a true injustice to her. Her
very raw beauty is undeniable and
timeless. As a model, Kimmarie
frequently headlined all the fashion
shows she participated in. Her
immaculate appearance is unmatched
in the industry. Kimmarie's
commitment to the art of enhancing
and maintaining the natural beauty of
people led her to search out and create
a line of products to assist women in
reducing the probability of developing
stretch marks resultant from pregnancy
or other weight management activities.
Her product line – SkinGlow by
Kimmarie is designed to help women
enhance their natural beauty.
57

After spending several years
doing the fashion circuit on the
East Coast and Europe,
Kimmarie was introduced to
Hollywood, where she later
moved to, and began a career
in acting. In Hollywood,
Kimmarie applied herself to
studying and working the stage
circuit. Early on, she was cast
in several TV shows and a few
feature films. As competitive as
Hollywood is, Kimmarie was
able to hold her own in a town
ruled by nepotism and gender
challenges. Kimmarie quickly
learned that there were two
sides to show business, and
one side of that business
requires the wit and
acumen of a business
tycoon.
As a business tycoon, Kimmarie decided early
on in her career not just to be in front of the
camera, but to also be instrumental in and
helping other artists realize their artistic
vision. This decision led her to become the
execute producer of several film projects
including those of the highly acclaimed South
Korean born producer – Young Man Kang.
The projects she financed for him have won
some critical acclaim over the years.
Kimmarie has a good ear for a good story and
her visionary insight has always proven to be
accurate.
58

K
immarie enjoys
professional dancing. She
spent several years learning
how to dance
professionally. Her
commitment to the art of
the dance helped
her to develop the precision
and grace that defines
every facet of her life. You
will often find her working
out to some dance routines
just for fun.
When we caught up
with Kimmarie, we
asked her a few
questions, to get into
the mind of this iconic
lady:
TMN: You have not
been auditioning in
recent times. Are you
no longer interested
in acting?
59

KIMMARIE JOHNSON:
Acting is always going to
be an art form that I am
interested in. The
auditioning process can
sometimes be very
grueling, and with a busy
schedule like mine, it is
very difficult to search out
roles that I am interested
in, and audition for them.
I am always on the lookout
for a role that will
challenge my abilities.
When the proper
opportunity presents itself,
I will gladly do what I need
to do to be a part of it.

TMN: You have been described as the most beautiful woman alive.
How does that make you feel?
KJ: It is an honor that I am grateful to God for.
It is a gift that I am a custodian of and
I do the best I can with the resources available
to me to maintain.
It feels good to be considered one of the most
beautiful women alive.
TMN: Your career path has been quite unique.
You started as a stewardess for an illustrious
airline, became a model for iconic fashion
designers, starred in some pretty interesting
films, executive produced others and own your
own beauty product line. What else is there for
you to do?
KJ: I have been fortunate to
have been the recipient and
channel for all these blessings.
We never know what the future
holds, so I simply live my life
one day at a time. I always leave
myself open to any
opportunities that will present
themselves.
60
TMN: Thank you for taking
time out of your busy schedule
to chat with us. We are
honored to have you as our
woman of the year.
KJ: No… thank you for the
honor.
