The first ever podcast about FASHION!!!!
THE SEAMS: A FIRST-EVER PODCAST ABOUT FASHION AS CULTURE
“CLOTHING IS OUR COMMON THREAD. IN EVERY STITCH, A STORY”
The Seams with Jacki Lyden Logo
July 13, 2015 – Washington, D.C. – So what’s next? NPR host and author Jacki Lyden found herself asking that one day after decades of covering the Middle East crisis or hosting NPR’s weekend magazines. Things for her at NPR were winding down.
“You should cover fashion,” said one of her producers, eyeing Lyden, often viewed as flamboyant in her vintage attire — at least in the public radio world.
“But we can’t do it like the big magazines or papers,” she said. “We have to do it as anthropology— and more like a salon of the air. That’s where a public radio audiences would come in — in the amazing cultural context of fashion, and as business, diversity history, entertainment, and social commentary.
She also learned she’d have to do it as an independent producer when NPR could not sustain it. So, she her team have.
“We’ve only begun to sit down with some of the smartest, most creative and interesting people I’ve ever interviewed,” Lyden says. “Historians, designers, professors –all get you to think — and they’re witty and engaged with the changing world. We’ve not heard nearly enough from them in public radio– even though fashion is New York’s second largest industry after finance.”
Lyden launched the bi-weekly podcast with senior producer Elaine Heinzman and Editor Marcus Rosenbaum, both NPR veterans, in late April. One early inspiration? Valerie Steele, Chief Curator of the Museum at FIT. “Fashion is a lens on culture and society,” says Valerie Steele, Ph.D., the executive director and chief curator of the Museum at FIT. “I’m surprised no one has done a program like The Seams before.”
Adds Stephen CEO of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, “There is no area of popular culture fashion doesn’t reach– music, art, literature, and — in the US alone, it’s a 350 billion dollar industry. Around the world, a trillion.”
And there are ethical and sustainable issues the industry must face as well, Lyden says.
Lyden hosts the Seams bi-weekly podcasts using conversation like a runway. On the “catwalk” there’s the history of shapewear, or baseball uniforms, or jockey silks– or codpieces, enhanced men’s undergarments, or the upcoming debut of NY Fashion Week Men’s. It adds in such stories as Florida’s Seminole Indian patchwork artisans. It will profile a new collaboration on performance between the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Parsons School of Design and the threeASFOUR label. Cultural critic Cintra Wilson, formerly of the New York Times, will make regular appearances, and expect other public radio people to pop up. The Seams is still an occasional series on NPR, too, and can be found in iTunes or on NPR One.

Framesi Color Lover Shampoo & Conditioner is great to help retain that perfect color that you love so much for a lot longer. It is gentle and therefore the color you started with stays true for a longer period of time. Made in the USA and free of sulfates, paraben, gluten, DEA & sodium chloride makes this product a great choice to give your hair the TLC that it needs.

Skin…your timeless virtue
No matter what my current skincare routine is, there is one product I refuse to part with. For about 2 years now, Timeless By Pevonia Gentle Foaming Scrub has been an essential to my weekly regimen. About 3 times a week I use the gentle foaming scrub to help unclog pores, exfoliate and give an over all “polish” to the skin. Used for all skin types, the foaming scrub is soft, gentle and calming.
Timeless by Pevonia
This summer here in Florida has really caused my acne, and irritations to flare up. Also, my allergies have made my skin itchy. The infused chamomile has helped with my irritations and I am just able to love my skin again. Not itchy or red and a soft surface for my makeup. My skins texture has improved and my makeup goes on and comes off with ease. I have also found that the gentle foaming scrub can be used as a great body exfoliator.
Timeless by Pevonia offers a line of anti-aging all natural skincare products designed with you in mind. Every spa that uses Pevonia, the specialist will assist you in finding the perfect products specifically for your skin. So if you want that custom skincare just for you, check out www.timelessbypevonia.com and start loving your skin again!

Its SHOWTIME in Orlando
4 student teams, 6 professional teams and one goal in mind.. to win the Orlando section of Global Beauty Masters. Last week the 3 teams from The Villages went to Orlando to take on the challenge. With the clock set they went to work. Then at 7 o’clock on Saturday May 30, SHOWTIME! In 2 categories, student and professional, the models walked the runway, complete with a panel of judges, to show off the teams hard work.
After much deliberation and bickering between the judges it was time for the teams to talk about their inspirations and time leading up to this. According to audience members it was like sitting in on American Idol. Team Shear Force created their mermaid with an octopus made out of hair. Team Teasetastic were inspired by “The Little Mermaid” making their model with bright colors because it was held in Orlando and the students wanted their mermaid to be from the dark part of the ocean. The students assumed that mermaids were always usually whimsical with bright colors, they wanted to stand out.
2 teams from the students and 2 teams from the professional group were chosen. Even though the teams from The Villages did not make it to the round in Las Vegas, I wanted to showcase their beautiful hard work. From what I saw on FB posts and talking to a few of them they said this experience was amazing and were very honored to be a part of it.
Congratulations to all teams for making it this far. You all did so great and I am happy that each of you had this opportunity. Check out their beautiful work here below.

Half up/down hairstyles are here to stay
Half-up styles are back in a big way, but it’s already time to take this look to the next level. If you’re sick of the tired top knot or just ready to evolve the look, try this new twist on the effortless hairstyle, straight from the experts at Butterfly Studio Salon. Ideal for natural texture or 2nd (even 3rd!) day hair, it works with any length and texture. A lifesaver for frizzy hair days and so simple to create – not even a brush is needed!
hair 1/2 up 1/2 down
How-To: Half-Up Double Knot
1. First step: texturizing product/dry shampoo, which is essential for grip and hold when styling. (Kattia Solano, owner of Butterfly Studio loves Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray on the crown area) Lift hair, taking it by sections, spray at the root as if you were teasing and then massage through with your hands to work the product in.
2. Using your hands, section out a “horse shoe” shape of hair at the crown area. Thicker hair can opt for larger section while thinner hair can work with a smaller amount of hair. Rake through with your hands to brush and pull back hair to create a clean section.
3. With a small hair tie in one hand, take a section of hair and pull halfway through the tie, so that you are left with a little “pom-pom.” Wrap elastic around 2-3 times until secure without pulling all of the hair through. (Use small clear elastics so you won’t see the tie, and in case you don’t wrap any hair around the knot the ties will be discreet.)
4. Open up the pom-pom with your fingertips for fullness to create a textured knot, then wrap the hair ends around your knot once and tuck hair under the elastic band with ends sticking out. Keep the remaining length right under the pom-pom, as you will use the extra hair length to help with fullness and perfectly messy texture for your next knot.
5. Create your next section right below the first by taking 1 1/2 to 2 inches of hair from the sides (horse shoe of “V” part all the way around the head). Use your hands again to gather and comb the hair back, then combine the hair ends from your first knot with your new section and repeat steps 3 and 4 – tying right under the first pom-pom, tucking through and leaving ends free. If your hair is long enough you can even wrap the extra hair around in a “figure eight” motion around both knots for detail.
6. To finish, spritz a little hairspray and then make it your own. Don’t be afraid to muss it up – the more texture the better! To complete the look, Kattia recommends adding some height/volume at the front top of the head by slightly pulling/gently tugging hair up at the root with your fingers.
*With this hairstyle, volume is always at your side to rid limp hair and that unwanted greasy summer look once and for all. Play with positioning and create more knots for a change up or more customization for how you can wear it. You can even use bobby pins to change the knot shapes.

Live it, love it, create it
Your beauty is their passion! Hair & Nail Creations Salon in Wildwood, FL is all about giving their clients the the best of the best with no exceptions. Owner/ stylist Annette Campetela Fredericks opened her 18 years ago and has become one of the most visited salons in the area. With 6 chairs 3 nail techs and one eststichian walking into Hair & Nail Creations feels like your right at home.
While in the salon last week, everyone from the receptionist to Annette herself was all smiles, laughing and really making the whole place feel inviting. That to me is a salon that you can just tell cares. They care that their clients will walk out with a smile and they care about themselves as stylists to make sure that always happens. Continuing education, attending trade shows and even influening the stylists to watch how to videos in the back room. That shows that even the greats now that there is always something to impress on.
Even in the midst of wanting to be the best salon they can be, Hair & Nail Creations also opens their arms to support other salons. Having friends who own their own salons, Annette said something that shows just what a success she really is. She said she would rather be the person who helps others get to the top of the ladder than be famous for doing it. She has done that. Tsking one of her stylists from the backroom to the showroom who is now working as an editorial stylist & not asking for anything in return. (accept awesome hair lol) That to me is the true definition of success.
So next time you are in Wildwood FL or just to check out more on Annette and her team check out www.hairandnailcreations.com and follow them on FB!
