<div><p>Pay attention to your body language as this is the decisive factor for you can get over the recruitment interview or not. Body language can transfer 90% of your idea to the interviewers.</p><h4>Step 1: Sit straightly.</h4><p>Sit straightforward and comfortably, slide forward 10 to 15 degree to the interviewer. This posture will transfer the idea that you are interested in the job.</p><h4>Step 2: Control your hands.</h4><p>The best way is to relax your hands on the haulm or on the table. Don’t be playful with your hair, face or neck which shows your nervousness or uncertainty. Body language specialists agree that the act of putting your hand over your nose, lip or ear may be signs that you are lying.</p><h4>Step 3: Don’t fold your hands.</h4><p>Folding hands around your chest means you are in defensive position. It can send idea to the interviewer that the candidate is feeling threatened and uncomfortable and that the candidate wants to end the interview right at that time or he/she doesn’t agree with what the interviewer is saying.</p><h4>Step 4: put both of your leg on the floor.</h4><p>Crossing leg below ankle or putting both legs on the floor mean you have a well professional qualification. Vibrating or moving legs may mean that you are angry or nervous.</p><h4>Step 5: Keep eye contact.</h4><p>Keep eye contact straightforward to the interviewer to show that you are actively listening and very interested in what he/she is saying. Looking around will make impression that you are not faithful. Looking down makes impression that you are not confident for the job.</p><h4>Step 6: Be sound with your mouth actions.</h4><p>Twisting or biting lip makes impression that you do not agree with what you are hearing. Grinding lip also means you are nervous. So, try to relax your mouth.</p><h4>Step 7: as for your head, keep it firm and straight.</h4><p>It will make impression that you are serious. To be more friendly and relaxed, you can tilt a little to the side.</p><h4>Advices:</h4><p>You should not gaze at the interviewer for a long time as it will make him/her uncomfortable and feel that you are attacking.</p><p></p></div>

<div><p>If you have learned about some of the smartest tricks to crack an interview and have gone through various <a href="https://novoresume.com/career-blog/resume-examples">resume examples</a> to get through with an interview successfully, you should know that dressing professionally for an interview will even help you in achieving the ultimate goal.</p><p>So, here are some tips that will help you in ensuring that you are dressed professionally for an interview.</p><h3><strong>1. Choose attire that fits you properly<br /></strong></h3><p>If you are not comfortable while moving around in the office for the interview, the interviewer will notice the same, and it will create a negative impression in their mind. Don't let it happen because it will not only affect your interview session with them but even after being selected. So, be extremely careful about the attire you choose for the <a href="https://hiring.workopolis.com/article/choosing-job-interview-technique-3-steps/">interview</a>. Make sure that it fits you properly and gives you an ideal look.</p><h3><strong>2. Learn about the dress code<br /></strong></h3><p>If there is a dress code to be worn for the interview, make sure that you are adhering to the rules. This might be extremely necessary for certain interviewers, and if you are not following the rules from the very beginning, you might simply get rejected for having a casual approach to professionalism. This will go against you in a number of ways, and we are sure you do not want it to happen. So, learn about the dress code and make sure that you are following the rules.</p><h3><strong>3. Choose the right pair of shoes<br /></strong></h3><p>During an interview, you should not assume that the entire focus is on your experience, skills, talent, and clothes. This is not true because you are being charged from top to bottom and this includes your shoes. Shoes are extremely important for many interviews, and if you are a man, you should know that a considerable amount of time should be invested in choosing the right pair of shoes before leaving for the interview.</p><h3><strong>4. Avoid wearing unnecessary pieces of jewelry<br /></strong></h3><p>There is no need for you to wear unique pieces of jewelry that showcase your wealth and richness. In some cases, you should not be wearing even a single piece of jewelry that looks like an addition from your end. For example, if you are planning to wear a necklace while going to an interview, you might distract or even annoy the interviewer with the shiny piece of jewelry. So, it is advisable to leave your beautiful pieces of jewelry at home and be as simple as possible with an add-on while dressing for an interview.</p></div>

Why should we get to know <a href="http://youngrepublic.com/designer/andthat.html" target="_blank">designers </a>J. Sandoval Gomez and Nathan Kai? Well, who doesn't love traveling and long walks in the park? </p><p></p><div><u>Lizzie</u>: It’s a Sunday Afternoon, and you’re sitting at a coffee shop sipping a cappuccino, when you look up. What would be the object that catches your attention enough to inspire creativity?</div><div><u>J. Sandoval Gomez:</u> Definitely the décor and the overall feeling that an environment evokes.</div><div><u>Nathan Kai:</u> Yeah, We're really big on visual presence and creating a feeling through story telling with the pieces that we create and design.</div><div><u>JSG</u>: I think that when a space can tell us a story and make us feel something through aesthetics alone we can't help but be inspired creatively.</div><div><u>Lizzie</u>: Where would you say inspiration strikes you most?</div><div><u>NK</u>: Most of our inspiration comes from traveling and, believe it or not, walks in the park. We love nature and all its beauty, so its easy for us to be inspired by everything from decadent flowers to the sound the wind makes as it flows through the leaves in a tree.</div><div><u>JSG</u>: Honestly, it's those raw and unconventional nuances are always the most inspiring to us. It's beautiful how something as subtle as a sound or the way light hits a certain texture can spark something inside of you.</div><div><u>Lizzie</u>: What made you decide that you wanted to be a jewelry designer? Has it always been a passion for you?</div><div><u>NK</u>: I actually started designing jewelry by chance, and, honestly out of frustration. let me explain: I'm a fashion designer by trade and more often than not I found that I couldn't get my hands on the right accessories for the clothing I was producing. So, I took matters into my own hands and made things myself and just kept going with it since. I guess you can say its an acquired passion. </div><div><u>Lizzie</u>: What type of feeling was it when you completed your first piece?</div><div><u>NK</u>: Hmm... Honestly? I was surprised because before that even the thought of making a piece of jewelry was tedious. It was definitely a delightful type of shock.</div><div><u>JSG</u>: I agree. You never really understand how time consuming and how much goes into making jewelry when you're shopping for it. So, the moment you finish you first handmade piece its definitely a mix of surprise, relief, and obviously happiness.</div><div><u>Lizzie</u>: <a href="http://andthathatblog.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">AndThat</a>, a catchy name. What’s the story behind it?</div><div>-<u>JSG</u>: Have you ever asked someone what they're going to wear while you're getting ready at their place before going out and they reply, "<a href="http://www.andthat.co/" target="_blank">This, this, and that</a>."? Well typically the "and that" part is the piece of jewelry or the accessory, so we thought it'd be fitting to call the brand AndThat.</div><div><u>NK</u>: What a great name, right?</div><div><u>Lizzie</u>: As far as mixing and matching different types of pieces, what advice would you give?</div><div><u>JSG</u>: Keep things young and contemporary by mixing juxtaposing styles and materials---there's really no right and wrong. In fact, chances are that if you think something would look bad together it's actually going to work!</div><div><u>NK</u>: Totally! And don't ever feel like too much is too much. Do layers...lots, and lots of layers!</div><div><u>Lizzie</u>: In your personal style, what type of jewelry speaks to you most?</div><div><u>NK</u>: Statement pieces. Things that get a reaction out of people. </div><div><u>JSG</u>: Timeless pieces with a twist. There's nothing better than the harmonious tension between something that has been done before that's infused with something unexpected.</div><div><u>Lizzie</u>: If you could bring back any era of jewelry, which would it be and why? </div><div><u>NK</u>: The 1930's! The pieces designed back then held such beauty and individuality and were all quite exquisite. The sheer elegance and decadence alone was a statement in it self.</div><div><div><u>JSG</u>: I love how grand Ancient Egyptian jewelry was. I don't think we've ever taken style and yet alone jewelry back to that ever aside from using Egyptian symbols and iconography. I definitely think it would be interesting to revamp to make it more contemporary and bring it back.</div><p> </p></div><p><span style="color:#333333;font-family:inherit;font-size:15px;font-style:italic;line-height:20.790000915527344px;"> </span></p></div>

I had the pleasure of speaking with founder and designer of this elegant chic line of thigh highs, </span><a href="https://twitter.com/Vienne" target="_blank">Vienne Cheung</a><span>.</span></p><p></p><p><span><span>Lizzie: Okay, so how did your company start?</span><br /><span><b><u>Vienne</u>: <span>VienneMilano started as I was unable to find elegant thigh highs that were not associated to Halloween costumes. In the past, I was only able to find poor quality thigh highs that were also very uncomfortable to wear. My vision was to bring luxurious thigh highs Made In Italy to women in the USA.</span></b></span><br /><br /><span>Lizzie: When did you discover your passion?</span><br /><span><b><u>Vienne</u>: <span>I discovered my passion for fashion and accessories when I was a kid. It has always been a childhood dream of mine to start [a] fashion business.</span></b></span><br /><br /><span>Lizzie: Are the products on your website all original designs?</span><br /><span><b><u>Vienne</u>: Yes. As someone who grew up in New England, <span>I understand that the weather in certain parts of the United States can get really cold. My thigh highs are uniquely designed to keep fashionable Americans warm. For example, <a href="https://www.viennemilano.com/products/OLIVIA-Microfiber-150-Brown.html" target="_blank">OLIVIA </a>is made in 150 denier, which makes it nice and thick for the winter. Our premier purple cashmere thigh highs (<a href="https://www.viennemilano.com/products/VIOLA-Filosophy-Thread-Purple.html" target="_blank">VIOLA</a>) are also very special as they cannot be found in anywhere else in the world. On the other side of our range, we also have thigh highs that are made in 8 deniers embellished with a beautiful and comfortable band which are designed for women who want to look elegant and sophisticated for the occasion.</span></b></span><br /><br /><span>Lizzie: What is it that you love about thigh highs?</span><br /><b><u>Vienne</u><span>: Well, when I wear thigh highs, I feel like I have on a sexy little secret, that no one else knows about (well, maybe except my boyfriend). Thigh highs are also more </span>hygienic<span> compared to traditional panty hose. </span><span>I love to wear thigh highs underneath my pants in the winter time as they keep me nice and warm.

Thigh highs are for an elegant woman to wear to every occasion.

<div><p style="margin-bottom:0in;" align="justify">You got the official party invitation! Now what do you wear? Yes, it’s important to follow the dress code. The invitation brings excitement and also leaves people puzzled; wondering what to wear. No need to panic, it’s time to impress with the right outfit. Also, parties are a great reason to get away from the usually boring interview or office attire.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;" align="justify"><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8843281452,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-left" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8843281452,original{{/staticFileLink}}" width="225" alt="8843281452?profile=original" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;" align="justify"><strong>Decode the Dress Code</strong></p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;" align="justify"></p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;" align="justify">It's important to decipher and follow the dress code. Some of the common dress codes are explained here to save you from any outfit mishaps.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;" align="justify"></p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;" align="justify"><strong>White Tie:</strong> It’s the dress code for most formal events. This dress code is associated with presidential dinners, royal events, state dinners, and formal balls. Consider yourself lucky! Dress yourself in a white waistcoat, shirt and bow. Complete the dress with a black tailcoat jacket, trouser, socks and shoes.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;" align="justify"><strong>Black Tie/Formal:</strong> It is a dress code for formal evening. This code is less formal than white tie. A man should dress himself in a black tuxedo, white shirt with a classic style collar, black bow tie and black shoes.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;" align="justify"><strong><br /> Black Tie Invited/Black Tie Optional:</strong> It’s again formal but the host leaves the decision up to you. Picking up a black suit and tie with a white shirt is your best bet. One can also choose tuxedos in charcoal, brown or navy blue with a white shirt.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;" align="justify"><strong><br /> Cocktail Attire/Informal/Semi-formal:</strong> A most popular formal dress that leaves a little space for creativity. Choose a suit and tie with dark hues other than black. An elegant patterned suit can also work. Solid tone or light pinstripe or low key check shirts with fresh laundering are acceptable. Select a pair of shoes such as Oxfords, brogues or monk-straps.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;" align="justify"><strong><br /> Business Attire:</strong> It’s still a formal dress code but less than the cocktail attire. Employees generally <span style="color:#3366ff;"><a href="http://www.suitrak.com/collections/business-and-interview-suits" target="_blank"><span style="color:#3366ff;">wear business suits</span></a></span> at the workplace. A dark color trouser with a matching jacket and long-sleeved shirt, a tie is optional.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;" align="justify"><strong><br /> Dressy Casual/Elegant Casual/Smart Casual:</strong> It is a lighter version of <span style="color:#000000;">business attire</span>. It asks for wearing in a relaxed way but still jeans and T-shirts are a big no. A collared shirt, smart jacket/blazer and trousers with closed shoes is recommended.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;" align="justify"></p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;" align="justify">Be in tune with the dress code and accept the compliments!</p></div>

There is a confidence in her tone and demeanor that is intensified when seeing the physical beauty behind it. In greeting me she put out her hand gracefully and gave me a full and warm welcoming smile.</p><p>She is <strong>Bérénice Lim Marlohe</strong>. Bérénice was born in Paris, France of mixed ancestry, daughter to a French mother and a Cambodian-Chinese father. Her mother is a teacher and her father a doctor. She originally held aspirations of becoming a concert pianist, as well as an artist, studying at the prestigious French Arts School Conservatoire de Paris for ten years.</p><p><iframe width="700" height="450" src="http://blip.tv/play/h5Mjg4fMbgA.html?p=1" frameborder="0"></iframe></p><blockquote><p><strong>Notice to Bloggers: </strong><strong>If you want to repost any of the images or video, please link back to <a href="http://www.benjaminkanarekblog.com/fydb" target="_blank">http://www.benjaminkanarekblog.com/fydb</a></strong></p></blockquote><div class="mceTemp"><dl id="attachment_27707" class="wp-caption alignleft"><dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://www.benjaminkanarekblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Daniel-Craig-Berenice-Marlohe-Skyfall-Royal-Opening-in-London.jpeg"><img class="wp-image-27707" title="Daniel Craig Berenice Marlohe Skyfall Royal Opening in London" src="http://www.benjaminkanarekblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Daniel-Craig-Berenice-Marlohe-Skyfall-Royal-Opening-in-London-560x745.jpeg" alt="" width="392" height="522" /></a></dt><dd class="wp-caption-dd">Daniel Craig, Berenice Marlohe at the "Skyfall" Royal Opening in London</dd></dl></div><p>Bérénice has an incredibly witty sense of humor. She is also extremely bright and can spar with the creme de la creme of the intellectual community. Who knows, perhaps she might get a Guest Starring role in "The Big Bang Theory". Bérénice is known to be a strong believer in fate and telepathy. During the interview, she claimed to have dreamt of acting alongside Javier Bardem six months before the Bond audition. After the dream, she knew that everything would be fine and felt a sense of peacefulness and calm. It was not until the second audition for <strong><em>Skyfall</em></strong> that someone actually mentioned to her that Javier might also be cast. Of course we now know that the both of them were cast in <strong><em>Skyfall</em> </strong>with Daniel Craig as the illustrious <strong>James Bond</strong>. So all in all, it came together for her like a classic Fairy Tale with a Happy Ending. As to our impression of the film? It is unequivocally the Best Bond Film ever and deserves to be nominated for several academy awards. So, go and see it! it is Absolutely "<strong>Bondelicious!"</strong></p><p>We finally sat down with <strong>Bérénice Marlohe</strong> after a wonderful long day of shooting for Harper's BAZAAR at the Palace Hotel de Crillon for a little tete a tete. We hope you enjoy this vignette as much as we did. Frédérique and I really enjoyed making this video and it was a "wonderful way to cap off a day".

She originally held aspirations of becoming a concert pianist, as well as an artist, studying at the prestigious French Arts School Conservatoire de Paris for ten years.<iframe width="700" height="450" src="http://blip.tv/play/h5Mjg4fMbgA.html?p=1" frameborder="0"></iframe> <object style="display:none;" width="320" height="240" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data="http://a.blip.tv/api.swf#h5Mjg4fMbgA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" ></param><param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" ></param><param name="movie" value="http://a.blip.tv/api.swf#h5Mjg4fMbgA" ></param><param name="wmode" value="opaque" ></param><embed wmode="opaque" style="display:none;" width="320" height="240" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://a.blip.tv/api.swf#h5Mjg4fMbgA" allowscriptaccess="never" allownetworking="internal"></embed> </object></p><blockquote><p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Notice to Bloggers: </strong><strong>If you want to repost any of the images or video, please link back to <span style="color:#ff0000;"><a href="http://www.benjaminkanarekblog.com/fydb" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;">http://www.benjaminkanarekblog.com/fydb</span></a></span></strong></p></blockquote><p style="text-align:justify;"><br /> <a href="http://www.benjaminkanarekblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Daniel-Craig-Berenice-Marlohe-Skyfall-Royal-Opening-in-London.jpeg"><img class="wp-image-27707" title="Daniel Craig Berenice Marlohe Skyfall Royal Opening in London" src="http://www.benjaminkanarekblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Daniel-Craig-Berenice-Marlohe-Skyfall-Royal-Opening-in-London-560x745.jpeg" alt="" width="392" height="522" /></a></p><p style="text-align:justify;">Daniel Craig, Berenice Marlohe at "Skyfall" Royal Opening in London</p><p style="text-align:justify;">Bérénice has an incredibly witty sense of humor. She is also extremely bright and can spar with the creme de la creme of the intellectual community. Who knows, perhaps she might get a guest role in "The Big Bang Theory". Bérénice is known to be a strong believer in fate and telepathy. During the interview, she claimed to have dreamt of acting alongside Javier Bardem six months before the Bond audition. After the dream, she knew that everything would be fine and felt a sense of peacefulness and calm. It was not until the second audition for <strong><em>Skyfall</em></strong> that someone actually mentioned to her that Javier might also be cast. Of course we now know that the both of them were cast in <strong><em>Skyfall</em> </strong>with Daniel Craig as the illustrious <strong>James Bond</strong>. So all in all, it came together for her like a classic Fairy Tale with a Happy Ending. As to our impression of the film? It is unequivocally the Best Bond Film ever and deserves to be nominated for several academy awards. So, go and see it! it is Absolutely "<strong>Bondelicious!"</strong></p><p style="text-align:justify;">We finally sat down with <strong>Bérénice Marlohe</strong>after a wonderful long day of shooting for Harper's BAZAAR at the Palace Hotel de Crillon for a little tete a tete. We hope you enjoy this vignette as much as we did. Frédérique and I really enjoyed making this video and it was a "wonderful way to cap off a day".

<div><p>In the current employment market, making a positive impression on a job interview is key to landing your dream job. First impressions are lasting and can give you an edge over a competitor or leave the employer with a less than positive impression. Here are a few tips to ensure you present yourself as a dedicated professional. </p><p>Classic suits such as Hugo Boss or Armani are the best option for an interview and can be worn with a pant or skirt. Choose a grey or navy suit- these are confident colours and always in season. </p><p>Avoid dresses and bright colors. The colour red in particular, according to The Ladders career website, is an inappropriate choice for a first interview. Dresses are viewed as too casual an option, unless it is a tailored dress such as from designers Hugo Boss or Armani. <br /> <br /> Low or medium heel shoes are a good choice and can be closed or open toe as long as you have a professional pedicure. </p><p>Accessories and jewelry should be subtle, keeping the focus on you. Avoid loud colours of nail polish as this can be distracting.<br /> <br /> In the Alberta climate, do not forget the importance of a professional coat and handbag to finish off your interview look. Often your interviewer will first meet you with your coat on. Keep your look consistent and ensure your coat is appropriate.<br /> <br /> Blu's Womens Wear has a highly professional staff that can help you prepare for any job interview making sure you go in making the best impression possible.

<div><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.tsnewyork.com">That's so New York</a> - <font>Although street-style photography is somewhat of a increasing interest of mine (meaning that I haven't yet managed to force myself out of the house to snap some images for myself, and instead spend my days flicking through a series of street-style blogs, day dreaming that one day I could be half the photographer the majority of these guys/girls are) I've already began picking out my favorites in regards to blogs which I would happily flick back to on a daily if not minutely basis. The one blog that has caused me the most disruption throughout my day-to-day routine is <a href="http://www.koo.im/"><font>I'M KOO</font></a> by New York-based street-style photographer, YoungJun Koo. Do not be fooled by the utterance of the word disruption, as I am being nothing but positive, as I'M KOO is slowly making its way over to the borderline obsession list at a rapid pace; meaning that this is certainly a blog and popular bookmark which at this present in moment I will happily admit that I could perhaps not live without (okay, so perhaps I could live without it, but I would really prefer not to and am somewhat persistent in warning you that once you've hit the homepage, you're hooked!)</font><br /><br /><font>Okay, so now you know about obsession with street-style, yet not to worry as that was not the only mildly important point I wanted to bring up during this post; another being the delightful FAQ/interview which YoungJun agreed to and rather rapidly responded too just days ago. That's right, I grabbed you all an insight into the mind of YoungJun Koo of I'M KOO!</font><br /><br /><span class="font-size-1"><font>(Note: It would be greatly appreciated if you could hold all signs of thankfulness and any applause until the end.

I believe that I’m not as competitive as other photographers and that ultimately becomes my advantage when taking photographs on the streets. It’s easy to differentiate the photographs by the photographer behind the blog, but on my blog I make it clear to identify the person I shot by the person’s face and for each person, I try to shoot them in a different light based on their personality and style. I believe that it is best to focus in on the individual and that way I can play with the shot concepts. I wouldn’t necessarily consider this a “signature” way to shoot people, but I would have to say that it is important to put care and attention into the way each look and person is being represented in each image.</font><br /><br /><font><b><font>What were you doing before you launched</font> <font>your professional career in the photographic industry?</font></b></font><font><br /><span class="yui-non">First, </span>I worked for my Fashion Design Bachelor’s Degree in Korea, followed by a handful of different experiences in merchandising, modeling and styling.

It's transparent and light, yet rigid and heavy. It overly a conflict of contrasts. I have long abandoned standard methods of pattern-making and view clothes as fabric sculptures -</font> <font>with elements of drape, pleats (always pleats) and lines. I try to stay true to the fabric, letting you experience it in it's natural state by carefully guiding it around the body.</font> </font><br /><br /><span class="yui-non"><font><font><b>What were you doing before you formed Anastasia Lomonova?</b></font><br /><font>Nothing much really. I started my line at 22 - I dropped out of school, moved to Montreal and started it. I didn't have any money or that much experience at the time, but I knew that's what I wanted to do for the rest of my life so I didn't see the lack of either as an obstacle.</font> </font><br /><br /><span class="yui-non"><font><b><font>Asides from designing, what other interest’s do you have?</font></b><br /><font>I am doing more and more photography these days - I've been shooting my own catalogues for a while.

I would love to show in Europe but that's a bit of an abstract idea at the moment.</font><br /><br /></span></span></span><font><b>In your own opinion, what is unique about Anastasia Lomonova?</b></font><br /><font>The approach to design is different. I design with a lot of freedom - I am not overly concerned with what other people are doing or what is palatable retail-wise. I look to create and explore different shapes, textures and lines - to inspire and to bring something new to ...

However if you look at my body of work this is only a small segment of what I have produced to date. My images are often described as being somewhat “raw”, which I personally think is partially true, as I am not a huge fan of Photoshop and using various snippets of software to retouch and create images which consequently launch an image into the digital sector of the industry. I like to create my images with a camera and a camera alone, focusing primarily on the set or location. I am still in love with the general concept after years of shooting film and prefer to use ...

And as a CEO/Founder of the Veritas Fashion and Arts Collective (<a href="http://www.liveveritas.com/">www.liveveritas.com</a>), he is constantly presenting art collections, hosting fashion trunk shows, seeking investors, identifying movers and shakers, and adding more artists to the collective.</p><p>He sums his life up best: "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_IqMArdVLA&hd=1">In 2011, we are going to travel to 50+ cities across the U.S. to support one community in Kenya</a>. After that, who knows."</p><p>It's not a normal kind of life.</p><p>Ty Clark grew up in Northern California. He and his two siblings encountered art at an early age. His grandparents' house was a veritable literary and artistic emporium, brimming with books, sculptures, eccentric rugs, and prints by Picasso, Gauguin, and Van Gogh. His uncle, Conway "Jiggs" Pierson, was a world famous sculptor and Raku artist. The family home was filled with paint brushes, pencils, clay, and books, and his parents encouraged artistic interest.</p><p>Africa came on his radar when his parents began humanitarian work in Africa and Mexico. In 1995, Clark and his father traveled to Rwanda to work with children after the genocide—and his worldview changed drastically.</p><p>"I was confronted with death, sorrow, poverty, hopelessness, child soldiers, and loss like I had never experienced. Mix these raw emotions, sights, smells, and sounds with my creative brain, and I believe at this point I actually 'became' and felt like I 'belonged' in this world for a purpose."</p><p>Veritas was born upon Clark's return to America.</p><p>Clark combined his fashion retail background at Quiksilver with his experience as a marketing and art director and showing artist to launch what he calls "an art/fashion brand." Veritas is a for-profit business with a non-profit mindset, harnessing the arts to invest in communities in need throughout the world.</p><p>As a social entrepreneur, Clark is in good company. Social entrepreneurs recognize a social problem and use entrepreneurial principles to organize, create, and manage a venture to make social change. Veritas is part of a global movement: social change through consumerism, like the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_Red">(RED) campaign</a>.</p><p>And Christians are right at the forefront.</p><p>Chances are good that if you grew up in church or on the fringe of a youth group, you went to Mexico. Van-fulls of teenagers travel across the border to sing songs, help build houses, and lead Vacation Bible Schools. The fruit of those week-long trips were lasting buildings and a few fond memories. Now, thanks to the likes of U2 frontman Bono and his wife Ali Hewson—the ultimate social entrepreneurs—Africa is the new missions continent of choice.</p><p>In 2007, Bono took flack for failing to work with African entrepreneurs and grassroots organisations, resulting in Africa becoming more dependent on international handouts. Since then a shift has occurred with on-the-ground entrepreneurship at the centre of humanitarian and Christian mission initiatives.</p><p>Canadian Jay Duncan created a guitar-making industry in Mpigi, Uganda. B.C.-based businessman Volker Wagner initiated the restoration of Bulembu, an abandoned mining town in Swaziland. Bulembu's vision is to restore a vibrant, self-sustaining community by 2020. In many cases, the aim is to have Africans earning a decent living while the goods are exported to foreign markets, including Canada and the U.S.</p><p>Fashion is right in the mix with U.S.-based Veritas and Canadian-based Reversal of Fortune (<a href="http://www.reversaloffortune.org/">reversaloffortune.org</a>.</p><p>In January 2008, fashion designer <a href="http://www.cardus.ca/comment/article/40/">Paul Hardy</a> made a humanitarian trip to Uganda. The journey profoundly changed his viewpoint on life and his career in fashion. Hardy's travels spurred a new insight that compelled him to return to Canada and seek opportunities to invest in both Africa's economy and its citizens. To this end, Hardy has set out to create a development project for women who are victims of sex crimes by rebel groups as a consequence of the political wars in certain regions of Africa. The project, known as Reversal of Fortune, will not only provide sustainable revenue. Its greater goal is to recast a vision for these individuals' lives.</p><p>Ty Clark's Veritas has most recently developed a messenger bag that will be produced entirely by mothers with kids with special needs in Kenya. Proceeds from the bag will benefit <a href="http://www.facebook.com/comfortthechildreninternational">Comfort The Children International</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/NaomisVillage">Naomi's Village</a> in their fight against malaria and other preventable killers around the world.</p><p>"This is our part. We're working to change the world through creative means. Veritas is High End Fashion Clothing with a purpose," says Clark.</p><p>"We have also launched our 'For Purpose' line that will give beyond the 20% for each piece sold. We currently have one top that we designed specifically for Austin Nichols and Sophia Bush of the hit TV show <i>One Tree Hill</i> that supports their Gulf Clean up efforts, and we also sell CTC International L.I.F.E bags that members of our Artist Collective designed for them. Of course, we eventually hope to get to the point where we can show and are invited to major Fashion Weeks. We are still a very small company with a very large vision. We are still looking for investors and fundraising so that we can achieve the goals we hold very tightly to."</p><p>Veritas' big idea? "Our vision as a brand is to inspire creative individuals to create the best work they can," says Clark. "To promote the arts and bring them into living rooms, backyards, and businesses across the U.S. and hopefully the international community after that, using the Veritas brand to live while investing 20% of the profits to places of need."</p><p>Clark points to the words of Madeleine L'Engle:</p><blockquote>There is no denying that the artist is someone who is full of questions, who cries them out in great angst, who discovers the rainbow answers in darkness, and then rushes to canvas or paper. An artist is someone who cannot rest, who can never rest as long as there is one suffering person in this world. Along with Plato's divine madness there is also divine discontent, a longing to find the melody in the discords of chaos, the rhyme in the cacophony, the surprised smile in time of stress or strain.<br /><br />It is not that what is not enough, for it is; it is that what is had been disarranged, and is crying out to be in place. Perhaps the artist longs to sleep well every night; to eat anything without indigestion; to feel no moral qualms; to turn off the television news and make a sandwich after seeing the devastation and death caused by famine and drought and earthquake and flood. But the artist cannot manage this normalcy. Vision keeps breaking through, and must find means of expression.</blockquote><br /><p>Veritas has gravitas. As Ariel Ginter of <i>SJSW Fashion Magazine</i> <a href="http://www.sanjosefashionweek.com/revveritas.shtml">writes</a>: "More often than not, the world of fashion revolves around the superficial and selfish. But this brand and its founder have breathed new life into the hope for fashion."</p>Article by Christina Crook<br />Original Article can be found at <a href="http://www.cardus.ca/comment/article/2416">http://www.cardus.ca/comment/article/2416</a></div>

<div><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8842923497,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-full" width="583" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8842923497,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="8842923497?profile=original" /></a><p><em>Ty Clark is also the CEO and Designer for Veritas Fashion that he founded in 2008 as a fashion line that embraces the Arts and uses creative individuals to support communities in need all over the world. He has been involved in humanitarian projects in 10 different countries building a network of creative activists from various genres in the international Arts community. Veritas Fashion is now in 2010 being worn by celebrities, artists, filmmakers, writers, sculptors, musicians and trendsetters around the globe. As a member of the Veritas Artist Collective and 5D Artists Group, he also supports, promotes and raises awareness for Comfort the Children International, Naomi’s Village Children’s Home, Eldoret IDP Camp, Falling Whistles, Construction for a Cause, Music for the City and Hello Somebody. Ty is actively providing opportunities for emerging artists around the globe to show work and invest in communities in need. In 2010 Ty was named to the Catalyst Young Influencers list that highlights individuals inspiring and creating change around the world.</em></p><p><strong>Plywood People: Can you share what you’re doing over at Veritas Fashion?</strong></p><p><em><strong>Ty Clark:</strong></em> Currently we are touring 50+ Cities across America to support one community in Kenya. Part of our vision statement reads; “The Veritas brand is designed and created to bring community together through a combination of the Arts; one shirt, one painting, one sound, one film, and one word at a time.” We live out our vision statement 100% in our lives and company. Last year we toured over 16,000 miles across the west coast bringing art, fashion and music into living rooms, backyards and businesses to support multiple causes. Over the last two years we have fallen in love with a specific community in Kenya. We are currently supporting Comfort the Children International, Naomi’s Village children’s home (whom we raised over 18,000$ to purchase 5 acres of land for them to build on in 2009) and an IDP (Internally Displaced Peoples) Camp, all in this specific community, Maai Mahiu.</p><p>When sat down to plan out 2011 we decided to repeat our 2010 journey on a much grander scale, so we are touring 50+ Cities over the next 8 months to support and raise awareness for the community of Maai Mahiu, Kenya. At the end of our tour we will access the needs in the community and disperse funds accordingly across numerous projects that will invest in and empower different areas within the community. We will also be taking a group from our Artist Collective to Maai Mahiu to be a part of these projects.</p><p><strong>Plywood People: How is Veritas the culmination of all your passions?</strong></p><p><em><strong>Ty: </strong></em>Veritas is exactly that, a culmination of all of my passions. Veritas is an Art Fashion Brand, creating its own niche in the fashion market, a brand with its core revolving around the Fine Arts community. For years I was journaling ideas, trying new things, starting visions and never completing them. After returning from living in China for 13 months I was able to put together 15+ years of ideas into a business model. I had worked for Quiksilver for 5 years before moving to China so I had a good grasp on retail and as an artist I knew it would be easy for me to replicate my artwork into fashion t-shirts and tops. This was a way to make a living but not the goal of the company. I wanted to create a way to live so that I could spend my time investing in emerging artists, my friends, my peers and humanitarian projects; a way to promote creative individuals, encourage them in their creative abilities, provide opportunities for them to be seen or heard and create opportunities for them to invest in communities in need.</p><p>Veritas as a company donates 20% of profits to humanitarian projects and this is where our heart lies. In 1995 I was able to travel with my father to East Africa and we were invited to work with orphans in post-genocide Rwanda. This was only a year after the horrific events. We went in to work with Tutsi Orphans who had just seen some 800,000 of their people murdered. This was my first interaction with child soldiers, feelings of hopelessness, children who were devoid of childlike candor and emotion. I was an emotional wreck, heartbroken like never before. We visited a home where 200 children were locked up in church after their parents were slaughtered before their eyes, it was a week before anyone found the kids and let them out. We spent two days just loving, playing with, hugging, kissing and weeping with these kids. My worldview from that day forward was completely changed. I vowed to myself that someday I would invest in our world, my community wherever there are needs. Veritas means “Truth” in Latin and we hope to reveal the truths of the world through the arts and our brand. A brand that encompasses all of my passions.</p><p><strong>Plywood People: Why do you think it’s important to be an artist and create art in our culture?</strong></p><p><em><strong>Ty: </strong></em>I wrote this quote when creating a video piece for an event we put on in 2008 that I think answers this question perfectly. “Hope is not a dream, it is not a whim. Hope creates life and it is our job as Artists to observe our world and our communities and create a sense of emotion, experience and action through our gifts. We artists can breed HOPE if we act.”</p><p><strong>Plywood People: What is a piece of advice you wish you’d been given when you were getting started pursuing your art?</strong></p><p><em><strong>Ty:</strong></em> I have been extremely blessed in my lifetime to be surrounded by amazing leaders, teachers, artists, and thinkers all over the world. At a young age I was fortunate to learn that you need to surround yourself with people who are wiser and more knowledgeable than you, people who have similar goals and visions, people who will push, encourage and hold you accountable to your gifts and dreams. I guess the one thing I wish I had known earlier as an artist and that I am learning now would of been to “take more risks, don’t be afraid to take risks in your art, you will never grow in your craft if you don’t go beyond what you already know, take risks”.</p><p><strong>Plywood People: How can others be involved in what you’re doing?</strong></p><p><em><strong>Ty:</strong></em> We will be touring a majority of America the remainder of the year and we still need people to host Veritas shows. We will bring our pop-up boutique, art and music anywhere and to anyone who wants to be a part of what we stand for and what we are doing. We want to not only share our vision and connect people to the projects and people we support, we also want to encourage people and show them how they can use their talents, skills and gifts to invest and support communities that have needs right where they live. If anyone is interested in being a part or knows people that would be, email<a href="mailto:mandeclark@liveveritas.com">mandeclark@liveveritas.com</a> That is my wife’s email, she is the other half of Veritas. It’s just the two of us living out the road that has been placed before us. In 2009 Mande and I left our full time jobs, put everything in storage in Austin, TX and we have been staying with family, friends and on the road literally and radically on Faith alone.</p><p>You can follow our tour at:<br /><a href="http://veritasfashion.wordpress.com/">http://veritasfashion.wordpress.com</a><br /><a href="http://veritasroadtour.tumblr.com/">http://veritasroadtour.tumblr.com</a></p><p>Ty Clark aka SAMO4PREZ Art:<br /><a href="http://www.samo4prez.com/">http://www.samo4prez.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/samo4prez">http://www.twitter.com/samo4prez</a></p><p>Visit Veritas at:<br /><a href="http://www.liveveritas.com/">http://www.liveveritas.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/veritasfashion">http://www.facebook.com/veritasfashion</a><br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/veritasfashion">http://www.twitter.com/veritasfashion</a></p><p>By Gisele Nelson</p><p>View the original article at <a href="http://plywoodpeople.com/5489">http://plywoodpeople.com/5489</a></p></div>

<div><p><b>Just try to pronounce</b> aloud a word “designer”, and then try to correlate it with yourself… It always seems that you didn’t deserve this word – it`s too cool… When you just begin to create something and embody it and there are a number of doubts, survivals, and you just can`t call yourself a designer… But at the same time you are slap-happy with an idea which gives you strength to reach the final point. That`s why designer is a collector of ideas, who doesn`t see the difference between hobby and work.</p><p> </p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://fotymody.com/en/read.php?id=518">READ MORE</a></p></div>
