Harry Josh, Celebrity Hair Stylist & Entrepreneur JEANNINE MORRIS INTERVIEWS on how Instagram became toxic to his creativity, the best advice he's ever gotten from Giselle and his definition of beauty What’s the best piece of advice you have ever gotten and who is it from? Giselle has been my sage for the last twenty years. She has lived the life that I aspire to be. How so? She delights the world with her grace, kindness and compassion. She’s just one of those people who has it all, but has no interest in it all. She says “I could care less if I was the most famous model in the world, I could care less if I was the richest girl in the world, I don’t care about any of those things, they’ve just been given to me, I didn’t make this body, my parents gave me these genes.” She’s a hard working girl. She taught me that being authentic to the core will only make you happier and bring more to you. I learn from her. http://www.jeanninemorris.com/the-jm-edit/2015/10/30/harry-josh-interview

Pantene is just for Brazil so I think it's possible. Or hopefully she's done with Pantene. Just wondering because Luigi is hair ambassador for Kerastase and also shoots the campaigns and Kerastase reposted the photo... Just makes me curious. Edit: my friend spoke to Luigi its not Kerastase.

Cindy Crawford
10 Life Lessons From Cindy Crawford Cindy Crawford—supermodel, mom, and mogul—has led a remarkable life. From working with the biggest names in fashion to posing for countless now-iconic images, Crawford is an enduring force within the fashion industry, and ever since the late September publication of her autobiography, Becoming, she’s now become something of a font of fashion wisdom. Crawford celebrated the release at The Irvington last week, and with famous fans like Tyra Banks spotted reading the book, there feels like no better time to delve into the biographical tome. Imparting advice from Crawford’s extensive career alongside legendary photographers like Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, and Steven Meisel, the book provides insight on everything from Crawford’s initial reaction to George Michael’s “Freedom! ’90” music video to what it’s like to go toe-to-toe with Helmut Newton. Introspective, self-deprecating, and, best of all, honest, Crawford provides budding models—and model fans—with plenty of words to live by. Here, the Tao of Cindy: 1. There’s much more to modeling than a blank expression. “I always credit [Richard] Avedon with teaching me how to do a cover. He insisted how important it was that I, as the model, always have an idea in my head when I looked into the camera. He’d tell me to have a thought, even if the thought was simply ‘Buy me. I’m $3’ (the price of Vogue at the time). He taught me how to look away from the camera between each click and come back with a fresh thought. I still do that to this day. While a young girl’s face can be pretty enough with a blank expression, Avedon didn’t want blank. If you started to zone out, thinking about your grocery list, he knew it. He wanted to see the sparkle in your eyes looking back at him under his black cloth. And he knew it when he saw it.” 2. Not everyone is impressed by your Vogue cover. “I remember how excited I was when my first Vogue cover finally hit the newsstands. At the airport on my way back to Chicago, I picked up three copies to show my mom and excitedly approached the cashier, hoping she would recognize me. She didn’t even look up as she tallied my purchases. All she said was, ‘You know you have three of the same magazine, right, honey?’ ” 3. Models shouldn’t be afraid to say no. “I know it’s a model’s job to try and bring the photographer’s vision to life, but I also believe it is the photographer’s job to keep the model safe. When I realized that wasn’t always the case, I understood that I had to protect myself and have a more forceful voice about what was acceptable to me. Slowly, I found ways to say no.” 4. You’re a performer—don’t forget it. “At one point, [Helmut Newton] had me in a bathing suit and heels—the Newton ‘uniform’—standing on a street corner. He put a hat on the ground and would offer every passerby a Polaroid shot with me in exchange for 100 francs. It was a great deal—we played at this until we made enough money to buy lunch. Talk about singing for your supper!” 5. That smize is a skill, too. “In modeling, as is the case with most jobs, your skill set improves with practice. You learn how to work your face to its best advantage and finally how to smile naturally on demand. (It took me at least 10 years—I think that’s why I didn’t smile much in photos in the beginning of my career and thus perfected my look with my mouth slightly open and teeth showing a bit.)” 6. You never know what will catch on. “When I first saw the finished [‘Freedom! ’90’] video, I remember being slightly disappointed, feeling like my part was the least glamorous. All the other women looked so gorgeous—Naomi [Campbell] strutting her stuff in a tight leopard dress, Tatjana [Patitz] looking so cool with a cigarette—while I was stuck in a bathtub with a towel on my head. At the time I wasn’t able to see what everyone else saw. People loved it; the video became a huge hit and played nonstop on MTV.” 7. Serious about a career in fashion? Hit the books. “I applied myself to modeling the same way I had applied myself to school. As a young model I wouldn’t have dreamed of showing up to Avedon or [irving] Penn’s studios without familiarizing myself with their work and their style. I also paid attention and did my homework so that when the photographer or stylist referenced ‘film noir’ or ‘Jean Shrimpton,’ I could speak the same language and know what they wanted from me.” 8. Travel is more than just a job perk, it’s your very own finishing school. “With each trip, I saw a little more. I learned about art and architecture, food and fashion. I had a fling with an Italian, danced all night at a Parisian nightclub, swam topless on countless beaches. When I started traveling I was a young girl from a small town—until, all of a sudden, I wasn’t. Traveling was the ultimate finishing school. And the greatest lesson for me was that even though there are so many distinct cultures, in the end we as humans have more in common than we have differences.” 9. The power to change fashion is in your hands. “The pendulum always swings back and forth, from Marilyn Monroe to Twiggy, from supermodels to heroin chic. That’s how designers, photographers, and editors get inspired. Second, consumers must realize that the power is in their hands (or, rather, their wallets). If they don’t like the images they see, they have the power to stop buying the magazine or the designer’s dresses. Above all else, fashion is a business, and sometimes change can only happen when the bottom line is affected. That said, it is exciting to see the current fashion embracing a broader idea of beauty. To my mind the most important message I can promote and exemplify is one that supports diversity and health.” 10. Even supermodels sing the blues. “I’d love to tell that hardworking girl with her nose buried in a book that it is okay to live it up a little bit. I know for sure I never would have been the girl at the nightclub dancing on a table without any underwear (that story is for a different book), but I could have let myself experience more. Life goes by quickly, and I’ve learned that decisions made from a place of confidence—rather than one of fear—are the ones that get me to the place I want to be.” vogue.com http://www.vogue.com/13368035/life-lessons-cindy-crawford-becoming/?mbid=social_twitter_vr

New Caras Brasil shoot/interview Gisele Bündchen: "Only God knows what is to come" Übermodel talks about family memories, the education of children and who are the current idols Six months announced the "retirement" of Gisele Bundchen (35) from the catwalk, she remains at the top, working hard and dedicating herself to the family. "I am very happy, family is always a very important thing and I love mine" says the übermodel about the relationship with football star Tom Brady (38), denying any possibility of crisis in marriage. In an exclusive interview with CARAS, the beauty goes beyond the images that are in the coffee table book celebrating 20 years of his career and reveals what your best childhood memories, in Horizontina, Rio Grande do Sul, with her husband and heirs, Benjamin (5), Vivian Lake(2) and John (8) - the latter the son of former relationship is defined by Gisele as a "bonus" whenever she claims to have three children - in Boston, USA. The book and the word 'retirement' immortalize ? The book is a form of celebration of these 20 years of career. I believe that life consists of several cycles and this book is a summary of a chapter. Now, I feel more open and ready to live this new chapter is beginning in my life. I 'm in this businness for over 20 years. Gradually, I want to redirect my time to personal projects, but that does not mean I have imposed a date for this to happen. So little that will be detaching me from the fashion world. Everything has its time and things happen exactly when they have to happen. God knows what's coming ... But I keep working hard, right? I'm still working and traveling a lot. But gradually, I have managed to win more space for myself, my family and new projects. It is a transitional stage and a time delay to things fit. Who are your idols? Gandhi, Nelson Mandela ... There are so many! My mother, Vania, is also one of my biggest idols. She managed to balance the role of mother and wife, creating six daughters and it working out! I am grateful for her being this example of unconditional love, dedication, humility, generosity and simplicity, always valuing the family. In the music world, I love Renato Russo, with his inspiring words. Also Marisa Monte, for she has the gift of gab and his soft voice touches my heart. fashion, I admire Christy Turlington, who does a beautiful job with her foundation, is an example of outer and inner beauty! I also admire the exemplary work of Viviane Senna in education. I could not help but remember Malala Youfaszai that even so young and with so many adversities, is so connected with her inner self and her life purpose, fighting for peace and equality for our world. Who has given you some advice that you apply today? My father, Valdir, was always a great counselor. Always loved talking to him. Once, he said: 'No one is better than anyone. Treat others as you would like to be treated, be humble is essential, you have to live with your choices, you can not fool consciousness, always listen to your heart. When you comes home to Brazil, what they like to do as a family? I love a good mate and of course the mother or the father of Comidinha also has its value, right !? You prides itself on discretion ... Gisele the model is a public figure. Gisele mother, sister, daughter, wife and friend is like anyone else. I like to keep my privacy, because the things that happen in my heart not relate to other people. What if could stay completely anonymous? I'd love to play beach volleyball when I go to Rio de Janeiro, take my kids to the park without worry, walk the streets at will, doing things without being persecuted. Would be great! ? Do not give up in their day to day in your home When I'm not working and I'm in Boston, there are three things that will not give up: take my children to school and participate to the fullest of their activities; I exercise and take this my time to take care of body and mind; be present at my husband's games, giving my support and cheering for him and for the team. What ever missing in your home? And what can not come in? I love having flowers around the house, I'm giving another life, so I always try to have flowers around. I really like candles as well. Try to avoid the most industrialized food indoors. I prefer that our family eat healthy foods that nature provides us. What values you try to pass on to your children? I believe that the best way to teach is through our actions. We try to be the best examples we can. I grew up in and always had much contact with nature, which provided the opportunity to enjoy its beauty and appreciate it. My parents also taught us to appreciate and be grateful for everything we have achieved. We must encourage them to be themselves, authentic. We are all different and special, we do not believe in following a pattern. Being Brazilian with an American husband, how to educate children in an international home? We have our differences, but we are managing to manage this well, we have open communication and this is essential. I speak only in Portuguese with the kids while my husband speaks English. They speak both languages fluently, and what I find most interesting, though, is that they know who to talk to each language. Considers say 'I love you', either to the husband or the children important? Absolutely! Demonstrate by word and deed our feelings is very important and it is customary in our family. 'I Love You' is one of the few things my husband can speak in Portuguese, however, one of the most important to me. You always said you wanted a big family ... You want to increase your have another child, perhaps? At the moment, our family is great size that is. But I learned to never say never! Who knows the future?
