The Hasselblad X1D is the latest model from the esteemed camera maker but what makes this medium format picture taking device different is the fact it is mirrorless. Compact, powerful, and rugged but with impressive handling dynamics.
We tested the X1D by producing fashion shoot with Black and Paper Creative Colleague Dale Grant featuring looks from Swedish brand Filippa K.

You Can Never Go Wrong with a Gift by Chanel
For Her
An out-and-out classic, Chanel No.5 is a cultural seedbed for woman’s fragrance. “What do I wear to bed? Why, Chanel No. 5 of course.” Chanel has always been associated with glamour and fabulousness, attributed to the women who wear it. So rear is a scent with qualities that inspire a wearer.
For Him
Allure Homme Sport from Chanel is a citrus based contemporary scent for men with touches of amber and cedar. What I like about this cologne is the fact it compliments without overpowering the wearer. Allure Homme Sport is a man’s fragrance for activity, a dash but no smelling like he is in rush, a winner.
Chanel is available in fine stores worldwide.
Coming soon the Black and Paper Hasselblad/FlippaK Shoot.

THE ONE Grand Show
French fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier has arrived in Berlin collaborating with the Friedrichstadt-Palast for the stage show The ONE Grand Show. Opening October 6, the 11 million euros spectacular show features performers from 26 nations with 500 costumes on the world’s largest stage. Director and writer Roland Welke is the creative force behind “THE ONE Grand Show” employing streams of images in the form of slow motion effects, cross fades, and multi-dimension effects. The show is nothing if not ambitious on all levels from staging to the physical movements and acrobatics of the performers.
Starring German Eurovision Song Contest representative Roman Lob as the young party guest and Brigette Oelke from the musical “We Will Rock You” in the role of the theatre manager THE ONE Grand Show is packed with tunes from Kate Victoria and Gregor Meyle.
I sat for a preview press performance of THE ONE Grand Show in Berlin. The costumes were classic Gaultier albeit a little toned down, with eye catching looks filled with, counter culture sexuality mixed with plaid men’s kilts, conical bras, Breton stripes, panel, nude toned body suits, and iconic corsets. A perfect combination of dancers and Gaultier, the former understood the fluidity and fun of the creations by the Parisian couturier without being dominated by them, not an easy feat but they pulled off.
I admit it. I wanted to see the costumes from Mr. Gaultier and they did disappoint. Androgyny, a wide color palette all infused the stage like a field of butterflies. I would not say the looks were provocative for 2016 but titillating for mainstream audiences, pure eye candy delight. There are so many signature looks it is a bit difficult to include them all but the ones that stood out were: Red conned dress with red hairstyles, the nude tones on the male dancers, colored splashed suit, and of course the feathered outfits. If you are a John Paul Gaultier fan you will not be disappointed.
THE ONE Grand Show is currently at the Friedrichstadt-Palast in Berlin.

A Smokey Eye can look attractive anytime, just by varying the intensity of the colors, Nelson. Day: Use a soft brush to circle your eye with light, diffused color,or try it one shade on the lids alone and add mascara. To take it up a notch, layer a shimmery shade over a matte. “It gives the shadow dept like an iridescent fabric. Night: Start by rimming the eyes with a black or dark eye pencil first and then smudge it outward using a small dense brush or your fingertips, advises Nelson. Next apply your eye shadow on top, going across the lid and under the lower lash line. This will give and intense lash line that the shadow will stick to, also set the liner into place, he explains.

Contouring enhances our natural bone structure, says Nelson. The added shallows in the hollows of your cheeks bring out the middle part of your face, making your eyes and lips stand out more. First sweep the darker shade just under your cheekbones starting almost at the ears, the touch the bright blush onto the apples of your cheeks. Finish with a dusting of highlighter on the high points of your face. You can also add a bit to your “Cupids bow to enhance to enhance the plumpness of your pout. The biggest secrets for contouring success? Use a light hand, tap off the excess powder first and make sure you use the exact right shade for your skin tone.
