Esther Perbandt has to be one of the most dynamic fashionistas of the modern day. Dressed in all black like the omen, she breathes fire into anyone in her line of sight. In fact, It’s one of the reasons why we all fell in love with her on Making The Cut. Recently, we literally bumped into her during a recent trip to Berlin. She’s an impressionable soul who breathes new life into someone who has been depleted by the daily grind or trauma. She moves like water, taking on the shape of whatever space she fills. “I would never have applied to the show because it’s really commercial,” Esther says of how she got on Making The Cut, “I was known in Berlin for being the arty Esther doing big fashion shows and theater. The word commercial was a no-go for me.” “When I read it (the invitation), I was like no way, not me,” luckily she didn’t answer right away, “but then I said: ‘Esther If you think twice, this is exactly what you need. Finally, the international attention.’ I was working my ass off at the time but it wasn’t really working.” The Queen of Black may not have won her Amazon Prime contest for a million dollars, but she’s certainly gained a million fans across the globe. Her supportive nature, loyalty, and tenacity have led to numerous collaborations, including the first-ever jewelry capsule with Adidas.

She admits that she isn’t as sustainable as she had hoped to be as a designer, but at least she is aware of her shortcomings. She does, however, state that she will drive two hours for locally sourced materials such as zippers made in Germany. “I have the goal to become sustainable or maybe 100% sustainable in ten years,” Esther states, “the vision of my brand in ten years is very digital, so I’m playing a lot with digital fashion…and also using it as a tool to become more sustainable.”

You’d have to be a fool to believe that this unpolished, meticulously engineered black diamond won’t have her moment to shine. Someone who has struggled on her path to success will eventually prosper. “People love to invite me to speak because I’m very honest,” Esther admits, “I talk about how bad it was sometimes that I was sleeping on the floor because I had to rent my apartment to get some money in, or how I had to take out large bank loans that I was almost unable to repay. But this is the life of a designer, and it was a decision. And it was also a decision not to have a family because I knew this job would be 24/7, and I wanted it and still want it.” Her passion for fashion, and meticulous attention to detail, combined with her monochromatic ensembles accented with gold accessories, will keep her on top. It is the reason why we celebrate her. Why we adore her. And how she takes on tasks at the drop of a hat – two collections per year, countless magazine covers, and speaking engagements in addition to Vogue editorials. Esther also held a solo exhibition of her artworks last year. “All of them were inspired by my collection. I used the same techniques and the same materials, but just created some 3D sculptures which you can put on the wall,” She explains. “I can’t focus solely on fashion for 365 days a year; I need some distractions,” Esther confesses. “So this art is part of it, and I’m hoping that this distraction will get me back into fashion, which is exactly what happened.” With so much talent at her disposal, she will stand the test of time, strangling fast fashion with her bare hands, just like her Avant trademarks. Her heart and keen ability to visually tell a story is what will propel her career forward.

NICKY JAM – Premio Lo Nuestro

Nicky Jam, Latin music idol, actor, and businessman, has once again been nominated for the Premio Lo Nuestro ceremony. In his artistic career, he has received more than 20 nominations, and this year was undoubtedly no different.

The Univisión network unveiled the official list of nominees for the Premio lo Nuestro 2023 gala, which honors the year’s greatest Spanish-language music, as it does every year. This time, the icon Nicky Jam graces the list with two nominations in the categories of “Male Artist of the Year” and “Urban Song of the Year” for “Ojos rojos.”

“Being nominated remains one of the biggest privileges of my artistic career, and being nominated once more already makes me feel like a winner,” said Nicky Jam.

Nicky Jam returns to Premio lo Nuestro after a year full of professional successes, in which his songs “Ojos Rojos” (20M views on YouTube, 57,544,163 audio streams and 161,892 video reproductions, more than 11.8K creations on TikTok) and “Sin Novia” (28,196,502 audio streams and 103,075 video reproductions, 12M views on YouTube, More than 6K creations on TikTok), captured the attention of an audience that accompanied him on a world tour that included countries from the United States, Europe and Middle East.

In the Premio Lo Nuestro ceremony, fans have a key role towards their idols since they have the possibility of making them winners by voting through the web portal.

The celebration in honor of Latin music will take place on February 23 and will be broadcast on Univisión screens.

SURRENDER album art via Capitol Music Group for use by 360 Magazine

MAGGIE ROGERS – SURRENDER

On July 29, 2022, Capitol Records released Maggie Rogers new album, Surrender – the follow-up to 2019’s Heard It in a Past Life, which entered Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart at No. 1, landed her a GRAMMY nomination for Best New Artist and went on to amass over one billion combined global streams. Raw and revelatory, Surrender finds the acclaimed producer/songwriter/performer examining the most complex emotions with fierce, unflinching vulnerability and alchemizing that heightened feeling into her most joyful output yet. Download / stream Surrender.

Earlier this week, Rogers returned to “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and performed her new single, Want Want. Praising the song’s “intensity and crunchy guitar tones,” The New York Times said, “this tale of long-sublimated desire-finally finds an explosive expression in its chorus: ‘And I want you.'” V Magazine said, “‘Want Want’ is a booming track, backed by a groovy drumline and Roger’s own powerful vocals.” View the official video for Want Want,” which Rogers shot in a NYC karaoke bar with director Warren FuHERE.

Hailing Rogers as a “pop music prodigy- an artist who’s in it for the long haul,” Rolling Stone said, “She’s someone who can command banjo-strummed roots music, streaming-friendly synth-pop, and anthemic arena rock.” In this feature, The New York Times praised Surrender as “a hypnotically danceable ode to ecstatic abandon, making leaps and navigating worry.” The Associated Press declares, “the new album only solidifies Rogers as one of the most interesting singer-songwriters out there-brash, confident, compelling and occasionally profane.” Consequence observed, “Surrender is a wholly open and vulnerable turn from Maggie Rogers- her writing has gotten all the more sharp and incisive.” SPIN declared, “(Surrender is) a vibrant and provocative studio album-(Rogers) proved herself as an impassion performer ‘with songs designed to blow people away.'”

The album’s first single, That’s Where I Am,” was included on Former President Barack Obama‘s 2022 Summer Playlist and “Best Songs of 2022 (So Far)” lists from Esquire, SPIN and Paste The video features cameos by David ByrneQuil Lemons and Hamilton Leithauser. Watch the clip for new track “Horses” which Rogers co-directed with Michael Scanlon HERE.

In the days leading up to the album’s release, Metrograph in New York City gave fans the opportunity to preview the album – and view three of the films that inspired it – with the “Surrender Film Club,” a three-night series of screening and listening sessions at the independent movie theatre. American Express Card Members had early access to purchase tickets before the general public to last night’s “Maggie Rogers, The Surrender Release Show – Presented by American Express,” a celebratory concert at Webster Hall on the evening of Surrender‘s debut.

After multiple sold-out headline tours and major festival performances in support of Heard It in a Past Life, Rogers retreated to the coast of Maine in early 2020 and completely cut herself off from the noise of the outside world. For months on end, she spent most of her time reading and resting and walking along the jagged cliffs, compelled by the fierce and unforgiving nature of the North Atlantic Ocean. Channeling the ocean’s unruly energy, she soon arrived at the controlled chaos and ecstatic physicality that would come to define Surrender. The album was co-produced by Kid Harpoon and Rogers and recorded in three distinct locations (her parents’ garage in Maine, Electric Lady Studios in New York City, Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios near Bath, England). Over the course of 12 unfettered yet exactingly crafted tracks, Rogers fully captures the frenetic intensity of the last two years of her life, bringing her bracing honesty to stories of anger and peace and self-salvation, transcendence through sex and freedom through letting go. View the album trailer HERE.

ELLE Canada Spring Edition

KO Média is excited to unveil the Spring issue of ELLE Decoration Canada featuring the home of interior designer Arianna De Gasperis, who set out to capture the spirit of New York’s West Village within the calm environment of a Victorian-style property in Jersey City. “Once we got inside, the original staircase that was straight out of another era completely won me over,” says the Toronto-based designer and founder of And Studio. The home took nine long months to renovate, but De Gasperis insists the attention to detail was worth it. “Speeding things up can result in regret. Taming a space, and really taking the time to bring together all the elements that make sense to form a cohesive vision, is an essential part of the process.”

This edition is all about reimagining spaces. Architecture and design firm Campos Studio helps a family of five create a feeling of greater openness while preserving the historic charm of their Vancouver home. The duo behind Warren Garrett play with avant-garde accents to make the new Montreal residence of the Consul General of Belgium a space suitable both for welcoming distinguished guests and daily family life. The team at La Shed converts a Montreal Mile-End duplex into a single-family home that allows three retirees to live together while maintaining their privacy. Content creator Claude-Alicia Guérin-Roy, of the Conscience Coupable platform, shares the inspiration behind her daughter’s fairy-tale nursery.

They sat down with Los Angeles-based Canadian creative director Willo Perron to talk about his new line of custom furniture (his Pillo couch is arguably the ultimate place for a nap) and designing spaces for the likes of Rihanna and Jay-Z. French artisan and artist Helios Nasal introduced them to lime, a traditional material that offers a sustainable alternative to acrylic and latex. And Alberta entrepreneur Treana Peake inspired them to consume differently thanks to Obakki, a brand and philanthropic foundation built around real partnerships with local craftspeople.

In an attempt to discern what makes the perfect couch, they turn to three experts: Thien Ta Trung of Montreal’s Élément de Base boutique, Tim Zyto of Montauk Sofa, and Mjölk co-founder John Baker. In Newfoundland, the Fogo Island Workshops continue to make waves in the international design scene with the release of their latest collection; and an outward-looking design by Toronto-based architect Omar Gandhi makes panoramic coastal views the focal point of a Nova Scotia home.

For those seeking an escape, this issue proposes four not-so-humble abodes that capture the flavor of local life in the Bahamas, Portugal, Sweden and Puglia, Italy. Or, to keep things closer to home, we offer a roundup of candles with scents that can send you on a journey from the flower markets of Sri Lanka to the trails of Cootes Paradise along Lake Ontario.

The Spring issue of ELLE Decoration Canada will hit stands and Apple News+ on April 18, 2022

Elle Canada April Issue

KO Média is excited to unveil the April issue of ELLE Canada featuring multi-hyphenate Tracee Ellis Ross. The award-winning Black-ish star shares her lifelong love of fashion, from playing dress-up with her stylist to using clothes as a tool for advocacy. “For a while, clothing was like my armor, a way to protect myself,” she says in a candid interview. “When I began to feel more comfortable in my own skin, fashion became one of the most important means of my self-expression.” The new Tiffany & Co. ambassador also talks about finding self-acceptance with age. “I have created a life that works for me, that looks like me, that feels like me, and I know myself. It took me many years to become who I am now, and it feels good.”

Environmentalism is imbued in this issue, with articles that delve into North America’s seemingly insatiable appetite for fast fashion and how environmental racism affects the physical, mental, and emotional health of Indigenous and other marginalized communities. We also explore the role of women in the fight to protect our planet—with a spotlight on four Canadians who are leading the charge—and talk to the teams behind seven beauty brands that are revolutionizing the industry with their sustainable practices.

There’s no shortage of rising stars in this edition. Writer-director Domee Shi shares the inspiration behind her first feature film, Turning Red, and her thoughts on the diverse future of animation. Singer-actor Sonia Ammar reflects on finding courage, self-love, and landing her first major Hollywood role. And, Lana Condor discusses her role in improving Asian-American representation as an actor and a brand ambassador. We also talk to Veep star Anna Chlumsky about playing a journalist in Shonda Rhimes‘s latest series, Inventing Anna. Canadian photographer Maya Fuhr opens up about her continued push for body-positive beauty standards.

In fashion, we explore the consumer shift toward subtle status signaling; give readers an inside look at Chanel‘s latest fashion show; learn about luxury Italian fashion house Fendi‘s collaboration with Mabeo, a Botswana-based furniture brand; and check in with jewelry designer Valérie Messika on her mission to democratize the diamond. Plus, the ELLE team presents its beauty and fashion trend reports for Spring/Summer 2022.

Finally, a look at how the pandemic has obliterated the boundaries between our work and personal lives.

The April issue of ELLE Canada will hit stands and Apple News+ on March 14, 2022.

Ryan Jerome × Vulkan Magazine

Ryan Jerome has officially been announced as the editor-in-chief of Vulkan Magazine, a globally-distinguished fashion/culture magazine based in Toronto that connects global fashion industries with fashion consumers across the world.  

He is a celebrated Swiss photographer who won acclaim for his photography style, which has been described as conceptual, focused, and emotional. Having always been in front of the camera, his life took a turn when he showed up camera ready on a set… and found out he was actually the photographer. Pursuing his Degree in Arts, Graphic Design at F+F Schule fur Kunst und Design, Zurich during that time, it was clear that fashion photography would become his new passion, his career. 

 Right off the bat, Jerome was taking on roles as Fashion Editor at different magazines and started shooting for Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, and Elle, to name some. Talents he shot included names such as AKON, Bella Thorne, and Nicole Scherzinger, to name a few.  In 2015 he moved to Los Angeles where he had to start from scratch and worked his way up to becoming one of the hottest photographers in town. He was the creative director for INLOVE magazine, as well as VIP relations director and PR for different brands. Given Ryan Jerome has now stepped into the role of Editor-in-Chief for VULKAN Magazine, he has many plans, and is ready to shock.

ELLE Canada Releasing Holiday Issue

KO Média is excited to unveil the Holiday issue of ELLE Canada featuring Diane Kruger. The German-born actor talks about learning choreographed fight scenes for the new action-packed spy thriller The 355, how her life has changed since having a daughter (spoiler: it involves more time at playgrounds and less time sporting cool Chanel boots), and working on a child-friendly set with other mothers. “I’ve never done a movie like this in my career,” she admits. “I usually make films with a lot of men and very few female leads, so this was really refreshing.” Kruger also discusses changes in the film industry now that women have greater creative control, and the fulfilment that comes from playing more nuanced characters. “At this point in my life, I’m interested in roles that show women in their complexity, in their fullness.” 

Female creatives abound in this edition. Singer-actor Josie Ho explains why Hong Kong’s male-dominated film industry prompted her to launch her own production company. Actor Aubrey Plaza talks about connecting with young readers in her new children’s book, a dark and twisty Christmas tale. Montreal-born artist Chloe Wise, a lover of food and hyperrealism, reflects on how her work has evolved over the last five years. Kaia Gerber—model, actor and daughter to Cindy Crawford—opens up about the importance of self-care and listening to your body.

With the holiday season upon us, our team has assembled a local gift guide complete with clothes, accessories, beauty products and home-decor pieces from an all-Canadian lineup of brands. We also ask beauty experts to share their insider tips, tricks and must-have items for a polished look at your upcoming IRL soirees. Plus, some limited edition holiday beauty products, Dior’s elegant new makeup line, and must-have hair treatments for winter.

For those swept up in post-pandemic wanderlust, take a trip to Newfoundland’s Fogo Island Inn, a magical retreat imbued with the remote community’s rich history and way of life. And Susan Sarandon weighs in as the global brand ambassador for Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. If you’d rather take it easy over the holidays, check out our roundup of the top TV shows of 2021 that you might have missed.

In fashion, this issue takes readers from the ski resort to the catwalk with the latest in alpine chic; explores how Canadian lingerie brand Fleur du Mal pairs whimsy with sexy; and dives into the backstory of the wildly successful Boyy accessories brand. We also get a glimpse of a retrospective exhibition at Montreal’s McCord Museum that delves into the androgynous, avant-garde style pioneered by Parachute.

There’s something for everyone in this edition, from our conversation with Jean-Marc Gallot, CEO of the iconic champagne house Veuve Clicquot, to a wide-ranging discussion with Canadian tennis pro Bianca Andreescu about Cadillac’s first all-electric vehicle, making eco-friendly choices and taking care of her physical and mental health.

The Holiday issue of ELLE Canada will hit stands and Apple News+ on November 16, 2021.

Black Owned Media’s Marketing Panel

By: Skyler Johnson

Black Owned Media Equity and Sustainability Institute hosted an educational marketing panel to help small businesses, primarily newsrooms, in getting people to donate money through membership.

Building Trust

There are many ways to build trust with the audience. The easiest way is to create habits through emails and newsletters. The phone is the modern day porch. People routinely wake up and check their phones in the same way they used to read the newspaper. They offer a way for companies to meet their clientele where they are. It’s important to be transparent about what the association is and what its goal is. A person may not know a certain magazine is non-profit.

They drew a comparison with dating apps. Potential members are the people swiping left and right. The goal would be to get people from casual hookups, people looking at random articles, to active viewers. The newsletter was mentioned as a consistent and direct channel to readers. Once you build up their trust, you can begin to ask for donations.

Welcome Series

A welcome series is helpful in this transparency. It lets them know why they need your newspaper in their lives. After the welcome series, now they can ask for money, which can and should feel uncomfortable and daunting. One should never be too cautious when asking for money. They recommended having monthly donations instead of one-time payments. 

Surveys

When attempting to decide which content resonates the most with your base, survey  was described as the easiest way to do so. These questionnaires should find out the basic needs of your patrons: where and how and how often they will read. What kind of news do they read? Publishing polls yearly help in seeing changes over time. And it’s important to include some questions gauging the emotional connection the patron has with the content. 

Conclusion

Ultimately, the panelists explained, there’s no exact science for any of this. It’s hard to gauge whether something will work or not and it’s impossible to tell how many welcome emails are needed and how much you should ask for in donations. That takes practice, and with enough of it you’ll be able to secure donations easily.

Tracy Sugarman’s Works Offered at Auction

“AND ALL THAT JAZZ”! WORKS BY TRACY SUGARMAN – ARTIST TO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, TO BE OFFERED AT AUCTION

September 2021. Artworks by the American illustrator, Tracy Sugarman (1921-2013), who documented some of the most momentous events in American history, such as Mississippi’s Freedom Summer of 1964 (a milestone in the civil rights movement in America) and images of World War II, will be offered in Dreweatts Modern and Contemporary Art sale on October 12, 2021.

As well as encapsulating historical moments in a unique way, Sugarman illustrated hundreds of books and record covers in a career spanning 50 years. The group of works coming up for auction spotlights Sugarman’s work for the music industry. Between 1954 and 1959 he produced more than a hundred album covers for the record labels Grand Award and Waldorf Music Hall Records. These were later reissued on CDS.

His illustrations were published in hundreds of magazines and books, as well being shown as on TV (PBS, ABC TV, NBC TV, and CBS TV). He was in high demand as a multi-talented artist, scriptwriter, producer, and author and won numerous awards from the Society of Illustrators in New York and the Art Directors Club in Washington, D.C. He was also a civil rights activist, something he also captured in his artworks.

While carrying out his commissions for the music industry he was given complete artistic freedom to create the works as he wished. Commenting he said: “I had been able to explore every medium from scratch-board to oils, from pastels to watercolors and seen them reproduced. I had captured Mahalia Jackson singing gospel and Knuckles O’Toole playing ragtime piano.” A work in 2007 marked the beginning of a lifelong love affair with jazz and the works in this sale show how he creatively captures the spirit and energy of Jazz.

In the Studio (lot 301) in its bright red hues, communicates the passion and vibrancy of Jazz and music in general. Dark lines contrast the colour, creating the shapes of the figures, resulting in a simple, but powerful piece. It carries an estimate of £400-£600. Portrait of a Trumpet Player (lot 299) by Tracy Sugarman captures a trumpet player in full flow. Created in wax crayon, the raw image brings the paper to life. It is estimated to fetch £400-£600. The Thinker (Lot 300) in wax crayon and watercolor shows the creative process and thinking behind the creation of music. In rough strokes Sugarman conveys all of this in a minimal way, creating the impact by its very simplicity.  The work is estimated to fetch £400-£600.

More works by Sugarman can be seen in the online catalogue, follow the link here
