		<description><![CDATA[The documentary Hey Bartender, now open in New York, as well as on itunes and Video on Demand, traces the revitalization of the cocktail scene through the personal journeys of two bartenders. One is a former U.S. Marine whose second act finds him climbing the ladder at one of New York City’s premiere cocktail bars. The other is the owner of a Connecticut neighborhood pub who reluctantly learns to embrace the world of mixology. Director Doug Tirola chatted with TIME about the cocktail community and the thrill of watching a craft bartender at work. Do you view the corner bar and the artisanal cocktail movement as being in competition with one another? I don’t necessarily see them in competition with each other. What we associate with the corner bar—which for better or worse, probably reminds people of Cheers, the home away from home–is that continuity, that idea that you go to the same place a couple times a week and that’s your place. The value on that continuity and that community is something that I think younger people and society in general today cherishes less. People aren’t as loyal to things the way that they used to be. For people under 35, it’s much more about what’s the latest and the greatest, and not developing a long-term relationship. The movie focuses in large part on New York. Are there other cities you’ve noticed that have a great cocktail scene but are under the radar? There might be one or two people in any city—certainly more in many cities—that have really embraced classic cocktails. I think that spreads when they bring that knowledge to their city. For places that you don’t expect, Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio have great bar programs. Portland, Maine has people making great cocktails inside restaurants and at bars. It’s starting to become more prevalent everywhere. (MORE: Beyond Bubbly: A Wine Industry Grows in Champagne) Courtesy 4th Row Films What do you consider to be the golden age of cocktails?

		<description><![CDATA[When Terry O&#8217;Neill started taking photographs for newspapers in 1960s London, he never dreamed he would become world-famous. Known for his elegant portraits of everyone from Faye Dunaway to The Beatles, O Neill&#8217;s work comes from a tradition that in many ways no longer exists: He had direct access to A-list stars, and was able to document them as they worked, free of interference from publicists. With the release of the monograph Terry O&#8217;Neill, which looks back at more than 50 years of his work, he chats with TIME about the early days, his cockney accent and meeting Frank Sinatra. The book looks great, Terry, congratulations. You&#8217;ve taken so many pictures over the years, tell me about the selection process for the book. Oh, thank you! I’m staggered myself [at] how much I’ve done. When I look back I couldn’t believe I had done all these people: I mean, you never think when you’re doing it, you know, you just work every day. I had a lot of fun getting the book together, and it’s been a great experience. I’m very happy. Photographers always think they know the best shot, but that’s not always the case. So I let an art director friend of mine, and other photographers, pick their favorite shots. Because you know, you lose sight of it all. You&#8217;ve photographed so many famous people, but I particularly love your portraits of Frank Sinatra. What was it like meeting celebrities like him, and how did you find working with them? I met Frank Sinatra through Ava Gardner—she wrote a letter for me which I gave him as I went on this film he was doing in Florida with Raquel Welch, Lady in Cement. He was singing at night, and making a film there at the same time. I handed him the letter, he smiled at me, said &#8220;right, you&#8217;re with me,&#8221; and then for the next three weeks totally ignored me. I could go absolutely anywhere with him. I realized then—I had only been doing photography for about six<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=style.time.com&#038;blog=39651711&#038;post=2369288&#038;subd=timestylelife&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Tony Wheeler and his wife Maureen founded Lonely Planet in 1973, guidebooks for the traveler on a shoestring were an unheard-of concept. The couple’s first overland trip through Europe and Asia to Australia prompted them to fill this niche and now, 100 million+ Lonely Planet books later, adventurous budget travel is more popular than ever. Though the Wheelers sold their final stake in the travel empire in 2011, they remain involved as veritable brand ambassadors. As the company celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, Tony Wheeler chats with TIME about wanderlust, visiting over 150 countries and why “there’s always some new thing to investigate.” How did you come up with the title Lonely Planet? It was a mistake. It came out of a song, from Joe Cocker and Leon Russell when they were [touring] on the road. There’s a line in the song called “Space Captain” where [Cocker] sings, ‘Once while traveling across the sky, this lonely planet caught my eye.’ And I said, that sounds nice, why don’t we call the business Lonely Planet. And my wife Maureen said, really nice idea except actually he’s singing ‘lovely planet.’  So it was a mistake all these years. We’ve never corrected it. (MORE: Beachfront Dining in Tel Aviv? Cassis Changes the Game) How do you feel that the travel industry has changed since you started Lonely Planet in the &#8217;70s? We all point to the obvious things—the fact that it’s cheaper, there are more airlines, more flights, all the Internet things that have come up. But I think one of the things that has changed the most has been the places that either were open and now are closed, or were closed and now open. I went to Ethiopia about four or five years ago; it’s a really fascinating place. But for 20-odd years, Ethiopia was totally closed off. Now it’s back on the tourist map again. All of China, completely closed off for so many years, and now it’s the biggest destination going. And the reverse happens as well.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=style.time.com&#038;blog=39651711&#038;post=2369178&#038;subd=timestylelife&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Blake Mycoskie is an entrepreneurial spirit at heart: he started the first of many companies at the tender age of 18. “But it wasn’t really until I started TOMS that I felt like I had my calling,” he says. The shoe company, founded in 2006, utilizes a One to One business model that donates a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair that a consumer purchases. Mycoskie spoke to TIME about how he applies his business acumen in service of a compassionate mission. Why are you encouraging people to go One Day Without Shoes today? When we started TOMS six years ago, a lot of people asked, why shoes? Why is it so important? Children need shoes to go to school as part of their uniform requirements, children need shoes to protect their feet from disease, and people could internalize that. But it wasn’t until we said, you try going one day without shoes and see what the experience is like. That really brought it home to people. People [who participated] would get all different types of questions; they would get treated differently. Their feet oftentimes would be tired and sore after a day without shoes. We found this is a really great way for people to raise awareness for the millions of people around the world who don’t have a choice but to go barefoot every day. (MORE: Angelina Jolie&#8217;s Jewelry Line to Fund Schools) Do you have any advice for urban dwellers who want to participate but are apprehensive about, say, riding the subway shoeless? You don’t have to go shoeless all day long. Wear your shoes—preferably your TOMS—to work that day, or to school or to wherever you’re going, and when you get there you can participate inside. It’s just as effective to walk around your office or in your cafeteria or in the grocery store barefoot, cause that’s going to get just as many people asking about it, which is the whole purpose. Why did you choose to found TOMS as a for-profit<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=style.time.com&#038;blog=39651711&#038;post=2368624&#038;subd=timestylelife&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jonathan Adler began designing home goods with a pottery collection for Barneys New York in 1994. Since opening his first eponymous store five years later, he has built an empire of furniture and textiles based on his colorful, mod aesthetic. Now he&#8217;s set to launch a line of fashion accessories—300+ handbags, hats, scarves and belts, priced from $48 to $450—at select department stores and his own stores and website. Adler took a moment to chat with TIME about his inspirations and how he manages to be a perpetual optimist. How did you decide to expand into accessories? It seemed very logical to me, and also intuitive. I have a very diverse and unexpected design career that has really expanded based purely on whim. I think that accessories present a lot of the same design challenges that I’m accustomed to working with, and it just felt right. What was your inspiration for this line? I always want everything to have a spirit of jetset glamour. I feel like my mission in life is to bring style, craft and joy to people’s lives, and to remind people to always embrace a more glamorous option. Which of the accessories will you be sporting yourself? It is definitely a women’s accessory collection—but I think the jute pouches are pretty irresistible. I think the jute pouch with the men’s brogue on it will definitely be containing a lot of my bits and bobs. Joshua McHugh / ©Joshua McHugh Jonathan Adler inside one of his New York City stores. How does your background as a potter and ceramic designer continue to shape your work? Everything I do really starts in the pottery studio. It’s a microcosm of all the design challenges one faces in form, shape, texture, color, style. A lot of my vocabulary comes from there. Your company ethos is one of perpetual optimism, and last year you published the book 100 Ways to Happy Chic Your Life. How do you manage to stay both happy and chic all the time?

		<description><![CDATA[Betony Vernon is a multifaceted designer whose work sits at the intersection of art, fashion and sexuality. Born in Virginia, she moved to Milan after high school and began to teach metal smithing. After exploring traditional jewelry design—and collaborating with Missoni, Gianfranco Ferré and design firm Fornasetti—she created her signature Paradise Found collection, which features fine jewelry that also has a discreet sexual function. A series of salons in the U.K. beginning in 2001 accelerated her journey into sexual anthropology, and this year, she compiled her accumulated wisdom into The Boudoir Bible, a modern guide to expanding the horizons of pleasure. As she prepares to celebrate the tome in New York City this evening, we spoke to her about style and sexuality. You wear a lot of hats—jewelry designer, sex educator, now author. How would you describe the common thread through all of your interests? In 1992 I did the first erotic collection. As the collection grew, I did it quite secretly. When the September 11th disaster occurred in 2001, I felt empowered to come out with what I was doing, and I lost all of my clients in the fashion system. Maybe part of it was because of September 11th, but I’m quite sure that it was also due to the nature of the jewels. A lot of the objects have this double life. You can wear them out and no one would know unless they’re “in the know.” I realized that people pigeonholed certain tools, certain pleasures, as S/M [sadomasochism]. I don’t consider myself S/M; I consider myself curious. So I went on this mission to dismantle categories and open sexual horizons through knowledge. In the book I break down misinterpretations with understanding. It’s not really a how-to—I believe that if we have a skill set, we have a box of tools, we have knowledge, and then we can be more creative.

		<description><![CDATA[Tracy Reese&#8217;s Fall 2013 show on Sunday popped with preppy sparkles and bright prints. In her signature girly style, she added a surprise: one model strutted down the runway clutching a kitten. Backstage, Reese talked to TIME about working with Target, going out in high tops and all the buzz over her fashions for the First Lady. Your Fall collection is inspired by New York. What&#8217;s unique about the fashion of New York City women? There are a lot of strong women here, and they make their own personal statement. And it was really about individuality, and using clothes your way to flatter yourself, and express your own sense of self. This is a city where people do that. I was just remembering when I was in school and we would go out and we would get new outfits every time we went out. But we were running around in high tops and crazy fashion and just having a lot of fun with it. I wanted to have fun with the clothes, and I wanted the audience and the models to have fun with them too. (MORE: A Brief History of New York Fashion Week) What kind of woman do you envision will wear this collection? So many different types. And that’s the thing. I don’t like to pinpoint a certain type, it’s more of a personality. She’s got a strong sense of self, and she loves color and pattern. She just is very self-confident. You have a few diffusion lines, and have collaborated with Target, Sally Hansen and Keds, among others. Why these different ventures? It’s a way to broaden our scope, to learn something from other people. You can’t always just do things your way. Each collaboration brings something to you: something that you’ve learned, a new way to do something, new connections, new friends. Is there a brand you&#8217;d like to partner with next? It would be fun to work with J.Crew, because they bring a lot of fashion to the masses. I had fun working with Target, that was<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=style.time.com&#038;blog=39651711&#038;post=2366468&#038;subd=timestylelife&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Marissa Webb spent a decade at J. Crew, rising to become the head of women’s design, before she left the company in 2011 to form her own collection. The FIT graduate spoke to TIME about the highs and lows of starting her own line.  What was your inspiration for this fall collection? It’s really an evolution from our launch collection. I think for a while we’ll be pretty consistent on our DNA, which is the mixture of the hard and the soft. I do love heavy fall fabrics, so there’s a lot of menswear tailoring. Actually what triggered the haberdashery feel of this collection was a vintage tie pin that I found at an antique store, and an old history on menswear that my brother gave me. (MORE: A Brief History of New York Fashion Week) What’s been your biggest challenge so far? Do you have a very long time? The challenges are many. I have a very, very small team that is so hardworking and dedicated. But there’s a lot to get done and only five people doing everything. I have not slept, I think, for at least a year. The last thing I focus on is actually the designing. I probably design everything in a day, and then all my other time is spent with admin, legal, logistics, all the ins and outs of running a business. You were a tomboy growing up. When did you begin to embrace a more feminine aesthetic? I grew up surrounded by trees, with dirt bike trails in my backyard. My best friend was a guy who lived next door to me, so I grew up playing multiple sports, but at the same time I had this love of fashion magazines and illustrating, so I would rumble in the park and get dirty and go dirt biking and play basketball and then go home and read fashion magazines. It’s always been a part of me. I still love menswear, but at the same time, you could find me in men’s clothing one<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=style.time.com&#038;blog=39651711&#038;post=2366133&#038;subd=timestylelife&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The heiress of Italian fashion house Marni, which her parents, Consuelo and Gianni, founded in 1994,Carolina Castiglioni leads the brand&#8217;s website and special projects division. That includes ventures like Marni&#8217;s first-ever fragrance, which the label launched Wednesday at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City. In between shows and launch parties, Carolina talked to TIME about her creative process, working with her mom and her favorite fragrance memories. Tell me about your creative process. How did you translate the Marni sensibility to a fragrance? We started two years ago, and it was a really long process, because first we had to choose which aromas we liked and didn’t like. My mother really loved all the incense, spices, wood. But those elements were a bit too masculine. At the end, we added the black rose. We didn’t want a girlish flower, too pink, so we selected a special one. The majority of the fragrances now are all sweet and fruity and flowery. And we don’t like those. We didn’t want a seasonal fragrance, we wanted a timeless one. If you fall in love with this, you keep it forever. It’s the same thing with our clothes. I think that Marni, if you buy one piece, you love it and you keep it. You don’t change it next season. It becomes like a normal gesture. When you prepare in the morning, then you spray it as a normal thing, every day. It doesn’t matter if it’s the weekend. It’s part of you. After designing clothes, did creating a fragrance come easily for you? For us it was all new, but the process is almost the same. My mother works with instinct; she does what she likes. She creates clothes that she would wear. And for fragrance, she mixed together all the elements that she liked. We worked together from the beginning. In a way, she is the head, and I executed. We did it all together. In all the meetings we were together, and then I was doing the follow-up. What&#8217;s your first memory of fragrance?

		<description><![CDATA[Though he started his career in high school covering the New York Knicks, Randy Brooke began shooting runway shows as a photographer&#8217;s assistant for Vogue in 1980. Since then he has shot up to 50 shows per season on his way to becoming an elite runway photographer, with photos published in Vanity Fair, New York magazine, Paper magazine, and USA Today. He talks to TIME about life in the scrum of photographers at the end of the runway. As Brooke explains, “There’s a reason why it’s called the pit.” What’s it like to be in the pit itself? We have people from all over the world covering New York and Milan and Paris and London. There can be jostling, but most of us know each other and we know what works and what doesn’t. Sometimes we’ll say, you’re blocking me from getting a picture, can we switch? A lot of times the difference is just six inches. We’re pretty civilized, but there certainly can be bickering. We’re a lot of photographers working long hours, carrying heavy equipment during really long days, so you’re not always going to see us at our best. (MORE: Beyond Boundaries: Gordon Parks&#8217; Fashion Photography) Is there a hierarchy to the spot you’re assigned in the pit? There’s somewhat of a pecking order, that if you’ve done this for a while makes sense. And if you haven’t done this for a while, it can be completely bizarre. Paris and New York are probably the two craziest cities in the world for fashion, in terms of the amount of photographers and how packed in we get. If you’re shooting for one of the major publications in the world for fashion, or one of the biggest publications in the world for news, you should have a prime spot. It happens every season that a newbie comes along and thinks, if I get there an hour and a half early, I’m going to be one of the first ones in and I’m just going to take any spot I<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=style.time.com&#038;blog=39651711&#038;post=2366101&#038;subd=timestylelife&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
