s Beauty Director for fashion show production company AMCONYC, I do a lot more than just show up with the lipstick! AMOCNYC is a really fun<br />
company to work for during NY Fashion Week as it provides a platform that supports new emerging designers. www.AMCONYC.com <strong>The</strong>re are<br />
months and months of planning that goes into organizing the backstage. Working with hair, makeup and nail sponsors, making sure the backstage photographers<br />
are briefed, communicating with the designers and hiring assistants are just a few small cogs in the big machine that makes the shows run<br />
smoothly. It’s a lot like planning for an important shoot- but on a much more massive scale. This past season AMCONYC showcased some really interesting<br />
and creative new fashion talent. And the most important aspect of my job was to make sure all the beauty looks were not only gorgeous but perfectly<br />
complimented the fashion. We brought in the AVEDA fashion show team to style the hair. <strong>The</strong>y used Sutra Beauty hair tools. I also created all the makeup<br />
looks using the latest makeup from Sacha Cosmetics. <strong>The</strong> nail looks were created with boutique brand Deco Miami. Here are a few of my favorites! What I<br />
loved about these three styles is that it highlights various texture in the hair and makeup. Nicole Bell- For Nicole we showcased a matte makeup look. Nicole<br />
is a Brooklyn based designer who recently spent time in Japan. So we had a geisha inspired look. Matte over sized blusher and a bright rep matte lip is shown<br />
here on model Cecilia Kelly. For hair, a sleek Samurai style top not was created.<br />
Kate Atelier- This designer’s look was all about glossy makeup. Kate is a designer who’s clothing is the epitome of working girl French chic. This seasons<br />
clothing had a bondage- goth feel. So I created a slick black eye and glossy skin as shown here. A fuzzy Mohawk styled braid was created for hair shown here<br />
on model Errin Abrams… side note: whenever creating a glossy look, it’s helpful to keep hair up to avoid it sticking to the models face.
Bradelis- is a luxury lingerie designer whose line combines a supportive structure with delicate design. To compliment their pieces, a palate of shimmer<br />
tones were used to highlight the model’s skin. Shown here are two of our models wearing peachy frosted checks and eyes framed with a black cat eye flick.<br />
AVEDA paired this look with tussled bed head waves.<br />
If you are a BREED photographer looking to shoot runway or backstage beauty for this upcoming Fashion events- get in touch with links of your workrachelmakeup@amconyc.com<br />
To check out more photos from the past seasons shows follow @amconyc on Instagram.<br />
And here are some of the latest professional products I’m crushing over:<br />
Sutra Beauty 4pc curling iron set. This wonder wand was what the AVEDA team used for this<br />
past fashion week. It has 4 various wand sizes that can be swapped around. <strong>The</strong> best part is you<br />
only have to bring one iron to set instead of 4. It even comes with a special heat protection glove<br />
so you don’t get burnt when switching them around during use. http://sutrabeauty.com<br />
Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer- This dryer looks like a space ship and dries hair like a jet plane. It seems to<br />
take half the time to dry your head compared to other hairdryers and is so light weight. And for a little<br />
star gossip-they were recently used backstage at Carnegie Hall<br />
for Celebrity Charity Show- the Children’s Monologues. http://www.dyson.com/haircare/supersonic/<br />
Velour Mink Eyelashes- <strong>The</strong>se lashes are cruelty free and reusable. Velour are like<br />
the Rolls Royce of the fake lash world. <strong>The</strong>y give a feathery finish to compliment<br />
any makeup look. My favorites are the style- Girl You Crazy. As they are more<br />
round than winged and open up any shaped eye.<br />

Frankie + <strong>The</strong> Studs<br />
Photography JEFF FORNEY<br />
Interview by KHALEXIA GWENDOLYN<br />
Rising rocker, Frankie Clarke, slays the role of up and coming female musician in the punk rock scene in Los Angeles,<br />
California. With a soft romance in her vocals, and a band consisting of a member hailing from “<strong>The</strong> Ramones,” Frankie<br />
shines brightly. Carrying a style one could describe as Glamour Goth, and accompanied by a sound streaming in directly<br />
from the early 1970’s, the band “Frankie + <strong>The</strong> Studs” is born.
Frankie has always regarded music and fashion as going hand in hand. Having famous musician Gilby Clarke (Guns n’<br />
Roses), as her father, Frankie is no stranger to music. Her love for fashion came from 1970s glam rock. In fact, her mother,<br />
designer Daniella Clarke, creator of cult denim line “Frankie B”, has even made her daughter a rather iconic Jumpsuit to<br />
perform in at her shows.<br />
Khalexia Gwendolyn: Who are some of your foundational influencers in the music scene? What do you keep coming back<br />
to for your inspiration?<br />
Frankie Clarke : Well, the most obvious is Joan Jett, because I discovered “<strong>The</strong> Runaways” when I was really young. That<br />
showed me from a young age that girls can play rock n’ roll and we can be just as good as guys. <strong>The</strong>n there is obviously the<br />
fashion part of it too, I got my jumpsuit look from Joan Jett. And from her, I learned about Suzi Quatro, as well as David<br />
Bowie and Marc Bolan from “T.Rex”.<br />
KG: Yes, I noticed some “Bowie-esque” lyrics in your hit song “Dance with you.” Could you elaborate on that?<br />
FC: At first the song was called “I Wanna Dance With You on the Boulders of Mars.” <strong>The</strong>n I cut the ending because I<br />
thought it was too obvious. It was definitely my tribute or nod to them (Bowie and Bolan).<br />
KG: How did you meet “<strong>The</strong> Studs?”<br />
FC: <strong>The</strong> Studs is a whole saga. Originally, I had released a song on my own, and it was a cover of Nick Gilder’s “Hot Child in<br />
the City” and I put that out to see if any musicians were interested in getting involved with the direction I was headed. Right<br />
after I put out that Video, I got hit up to do a show! My dad is also a musician, and we have a recording studio at my house.<br />
He was producing a band at the time and one of the guys said he wanted to get on board. He brought in a bass player, and<br />
then we brought in a session drummer. From there, we wrote a bunch of songs, and played all over LA. We played “Lollapalooza”<br />
and then in May, I got a tour with the band “<strong>The</strong> Biters.” <strong>The</strong> tricky part about my band is that the guys are all in<br />
different bands as well, and they weren’t able to do the tour, so i had to find an entirey new group of studs.
KG: Will <strong>The</strong> Studs always be interchangeable or would you like to find Studs that are exclusively yours??<br />
FC: I would like to find core Studs, but right now, its kind of like Joan Jett and the Black Hearts, but i wanna be a band.<br />
KG: Who are you listening to at the moment?<br />
FC: I don’t listen to a lot of current music, as I don’t feel that I connect to a lot of it. I usually always end up going back to my<br />
old records from the 70’s. But i really love Paramore, they are one of my favorite current artists. I like all the new Green Day<br />
stuff too.<br />
KGM: What do you do for fun? Are you exclusively a city dweller, or do you spend time in nature? What are your favorite<br />
places to hang, and what are your favorites venues to play at?<br />
FC: I’m mostly a city dweller actually, though, I like going for hikes, and walks to clear my head. I get a lot of ideas, when i just<br />
disconnect, and don’t look at my phone. I feel like my whole life is surrounded by music, so I go to a lot of shows. I like clubs<br />
that have specific DJ nights, playing 70’s rock music at venues like “<strong>The</strong> Short Stop” on Sunset. I like playing in Hollywood<br />
because I feel like theres so much rock n’ roll history here. We played at “<strong>The</strong> Viper Room” and it was a packed show, and at<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Roxy.” <strong>The</strong>re are a lot of up and coming venues downtown now that are also cool. We played at this place called “<strong>The</strong><br />
Resident” which i really liked and “<strong>The</strong> Redwood” was fun.<br />
KG: Who are you following on Instagram?<br />
FC: I follow a lot of fashion accounts. My feed is always just make up and shoes,<br />
KG: What would you say are the biggest style trends of the moment?<br />
FC: Sparkles, velvet and leopard print!
KG: Are you using the KiraKira app to enhance the sparkles?<br />
FC: Yes, of course! I have a glitter guitar and and I took a video of it on my Instagram story, with the KiraKira app, everyone<br />
asked “OMG, how is it so sparkly?” And i was like “ohh its a secret.”<br />
KG: Your mother Daniella has carved out a name in the industry. Do you also see yourself doing something similar?<br />
FC: I’ve always been torn between fashion and music, but I think at this point, I know that I want to do both. My mom always<br />
talks about one day having us start something together. I want to start a jumpsuit line, or make platform boots, definitely<br />
something that has to do with the music that I put out.<br />
KG: What was it like growing up with a father in the music scene, as a child?<br />
FC: It was inspiring when I was younger, I mean, i skipped a lot of school and went on tour with them, and I got to watch<br />
by the side of the stage. I think thats where i got the bug from. <strong>The</strong> hard part was that my dad was gone a lot, leaving for a<br />
couple weeks at a time. It was something that I grew up with and was used to, but would go with him as much as I could.<br />
KG: Your parents look like they are so much in love and a very cool rock n’ roll couple. Do they come to your shows? What<br />
is it like having them there watching you perform?<br />
FC: Yeah, my parents met when my mom was sixteen, when my mom was on vacation in Hollywood, and they’ve been<br />
together ever since! My parents come to all of my shows, I feel like I’m able to get more into character when my parents<br />
aren’t the first people i see in the audience, but i mean, they are my biggest supporters. <strong>The</strong>y never miss a show, although,<br />
when i did the east coast tour, they wanted to fly out and i was like, “no let me do this on my own”, but my parents are<br />
always there.. my dad even sets up my gear for me (laughs.)<br />
KG: Are you using your presence in the industry to make any kind of statement in the greater context of the world?<br />
FC: As a female in the music industry, I feel like you naturally have a stance, because it is harder. At first I had the idea “I’m<br />
just one of the boys” and thats how Joan Jett looked at it, like as if, I’m just equal to men. Like “don’t treat me differently<br />
because I’m a girl,” and I’ve always had that stance also, but i definitely see how you do get treated differently and you can’t<br />
just ignore it. You can’t just pretend that it doesn’t exist because it does, and the way I choose to deal with it is, just to be<br />
who I am and put out what I want to put out, and hopefully inspire other girls to play music and not get discouraged by it.<br />
At some point, we can overcome the inequality.<br />
KG: Thats, really very powerful, thank you for saying that.<br />
Frankie feels the rock n’ roll world is set for an epic renaissance and that we are at the forefront of a massive resurgence<br />
from the original era of rock music.<br />
Frankie plans to release some new music in 2018, and is anticipating another tour -one even ambitious as bringing the<br />
studs to Tokyo!

Who wants to be India Kate Gants? As being crowned “America’s Next Top Model,” India has certainly carved out a name for<br />
herself in the modeling world. India’s energy and light transfers through, not only in her photographs, but also as she begins<br />
involving herself in charitable organizations on a global scale. And that’s just the beginning. As an aspiring DJ, and music lover,<br />
India opens up about her personal style, and intentions to take her film and music production to the next level.<br />
Khalexia Gwendolyn: What was your favorite fashion shoot you’ve done to date and why?<br />
India Gants: My favorite photo shoot was definitely my “Rollacoaster” cover shoot I did in London. It was a Burberry story, so<br />
I was wearing only the most fabulous winter coats! It was shot at the white cliffs of Dover, about 2 hours outside of London,<br />
which was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. It was such a magical trip.<br />
KG: How would you describe your personal style, what makes you feel sexiest?<br />
IG: My personal style changes so much. If you asked me a year ago, I would have said my style was super grungy and rocker, but<br />
nowadays I’ve been dressing a lot more feminine. Lots of florals and prints and cute little heels/boots. I definitely feel most sexy<br />
when my look has completely come together with hair and makeup and the outfit, because it makes me confident. And confidence<br />
is the sexiest thing you can wear.<br />
KG: What is your beauty routine? What are the products you cannot live without?<br />
IG: My beauty routine is pretty simple. I always use just a BB cream and some mascara for my everyday makeup. But I do love<br />
playing around with products for bigger events. <strong>The</strong> one product I couldn’t live without is my “<strong>The</strong>y’re real” mascara by Benefit.<br />
It’s my absolute favorite! And I definitely can’t live without mascara in general. My lashes are really light and a little mascara really<br />
makes my eyes pop!<br />
KG: How has your lifestyle changed since you’ve acquired the title of Americas Next Top Model?<br />
IG: I’m doing a lot more influencer/celebrity stuff. Lots of red carpets, interviews (like these), appearances... And also just growing<br />
my brand far further than modeling. I’m now DJing, doing YouTube, and acting, so we’ll see which one really takes off! I’m<br />
also getting to meet the most amazing people. People I have always looked up to who I can now call my friends.<br />
KG: What would make the perfect environment for your ideal DJ set performance? Who would be in the audience, and where<br />
would you play?<br />
IG: My perfect set would be a sunset pool party in some awesome location like maybe Greece or Thailand. I really like playing<br />
chill house music and sometimes even like tropical house music, so I think I would really suit the daytime chill vibes of a pool<br />
party.<br />
KG: Who are your role models and icons? Who do you admire in the industry?<br />
IG: Ellen VonUnworth is someone I really look up to in the industry. I said I would never do a nude shoot, but on ANTM, that was<br />
one of our first shoots. And even though it was really tough for me, Ellen made me feel so comfortable. She talked me through<br />
the whole thing. She’s just so fun, non-judgmental, and very body positive, which is a lot of what I strive to be. She also is an<br />
incredible female photographer and I really admire that because photography is often an industry dominated by men. I can’t<br />
say it enough. Ellen is really so kind-hearted and devoted to her craft. I really look up to her.<br />
KG: How will you use your fame to impact the world?<br />
IG: I really want to impact the world in a less traditional way. I find that a lot of people target the same issues, but I want to dig a<br />
little deeper and help organizations that are close to my heart. Such as Kiwanis Camp Casey, which is a weeklong summer camp<br />
for physically disabled kids ages 5-17. I had been a counselor there for six years, and then last year put on a charity fashion show<br />
featuring some of the campers as models. It was such a powerful event and I can’t wait to continue my involvement with them.<br />
And of course continue growing the bigger picture and getting involved with global charities similar to Camp Casey.<br />
KG: What does a typical Sunday look like for you?<br />
IG: I don’t really have a typical Sunday. My Sunday could be anything! It’s my one day to chill during the week, but it’s a rarity<br />
when I actually do chill on Sundays. I love going to the Sunday market or going to Runyon Canyon or just visiting some friends. I<br />
could honestly be doing just about anything.
KG: What advice would you give to aspiring models in today’s world based solely upon social media?<br />
IG: I would say, as much as social media is a great way to brand yourself, don’t rely on it. Work on being confident at castings,<br />
developing your book, and practicing that runway walk! <strong>The</strong>re is so much more to modeling than Instagram. Learn the craft<br />
that is modeling.<br />
KG: What are you most looking forward to in the new year?<br />
IG: I’m looking forward to seeing where this YouTube thing goes. I’m really enjoying the whole process of filming and even editing<br />
my videos. It’s very time consuming, but very fun! I also can’t wait to start booking more acting roles in 2017! January is pilot<br />
season, so I hope I will be very busy!<br />
<strong>The</strong> Seattle native now resides in Los Angeles and has adapted well to the local scene. Attending high-vibe industry events and<br />
booking countless shoots, India has landed. Having a passion for hiking, and exploring the Californian terrain, she also boxes to<br />
keep her winning body in top form. With projected visions as prolific as hers, consider this pretty young thing, unstoppable!!
