UPDATE:
People on Fashionoffice
Fashionoffice publishes new statistical graphics on the magazine's imprint. The data about people, visits and page-views are still delivered by Quantcast; but now you can compare data over one year in monthly intervals. In the last weeks, the numbers for page-views and visits have gone up while the data for people went down; approximately 30% more page-views have been gained by nearly 10% less people. With other words: the graphics show that Fashionoffice is visited more often and used more intensively by less people during the last 3 weeks.
MAKEUP, FASHION VIDEOS:
Video about the work of make up artist Aaron De Mey for a photo shooting for Vogue Paris
Aaron De Mey (born in New Zealand, moved in 1998 to New York) is since 2009 Lancôme's Artistic Director for make up. In this video, he creates two looks for a shooting with photographer Ben Hassett and model Daria: the first look is a green shimmering art work around the eyes in 70s style. When Aaron De Mey explains how he is shaping with the make up the face of Daria for the medium photography, it becomes obvious that his job is to sculpture with visual tricks. The video provides a look behind the scenes of glossy fashion magazines. Aaron De Mey speaks in this video even about his work for Vogue Paris, which he likes because the magazine presents female beauty without dictate but with humour.
Video about face styling by make up artist Lisa Eldridge
London based Lisa Eldridge has already worked with international photographers David Sims and Corrine Day, fashion magazines such as Italian Vogue, Allure, The Face, etc., and celebrities like Cameron Diaz, Cate Blanchet, Selma Hayek, to name a few. The make up artist publishes a nice video showing how to style the face with products from the new Burberry beauty line (premiere in July 2010). What makes her video so nice is her seriousness and exactness. Lisa Eldridge begins with the introduction of the products, explains their packaging and colors while wearing no make up - only her pale face. And then she starts to use the products and changes the look of her face! The video is a good recommendation for all the ones who ever wanted to know how to style the face for the everyday look.
Art video about fighter planes that are styled to reflect like a mirror
UK artist Fiona Banner talks in this video about her work on fighter planes that are polished to reflect like a mirror the visitors in the museum. By 'making up' the surface this way, she is involving the viewers into the installation of military planes which are activated in times when communication ended. Another one of the bespoken planes is made up with a feather-like, prehistoric painting. The exhibition runs until 3 January 2011 at the Tate Britain.
Fashion shooting with German high jumper Ariane Friedrich
On the video you can see athlete Ariane Friedrich - she was Germany's representant at the 2008 Summer Olympics, dressed up very female while acting in sportive poses at the Nike fashion shooting in Munich. The scenery was created by photographer and Germany's Next Topmodel juror Kristian Schuller. Ariane says - free translated from German and shortened, that she is surprised that someone can make her look like this and that she enjoys her femninity in these dresses. Ariane Friedrich will attend the European Athletics Championships in Barcelona from 27 July to 1 August 2010.
