The Dancing in the Moonlight shoot is based off of America’s Next Top Model, Season 11 Photoshoot, “Fierce Eyes.” For this shoot we chose a team that brought their A game to all their work. We used Thomas Shelton, voted Best Hair Stylist 2012, in the Washington City Paper and Alyssa C, makeup artist with over 20 years of experience, specializing in fashion shows, red carpet events, magazines and television makeup.

Marcus Kirk Photography spends countless hours turning our ideas into reality. From experimenting in our own MKP labs with new ma-terials and textures, to designing and building our own sets us-ing the same principles that are found in Hollywood, MKP is com-mitted to achieving the seemingly impossible on a daily basis. As our efforts are extraordinary in our pursuit of new technologies and techniques, we continue to take great pride in being the indus-try leaders in planetary stewardship. With few exceptions, our studio and set lighting has been completely transformed from conventional incandescent lighting to using MKP’s patent pending Digital Light-ing Array- an LED and other emerging light sources design that not only give us more vibrant and controlled shots, but reduces our car-bon emissions by up to 80%! We are further committed to protecting natural beauty by using either exclusive electric, or hybrid electric ve-hicles. It’s another great way to do more while using fewer resources!

Dave Darin, Phoenix’s local radio station KWSS host, contacted Fashion-Faces as he requested assistance toward a personal style makeover to enhance his image and provide him with the trendy guidance to push his fashion in a forward direction, while he refines the concept of his hard-rock podcast. This transition takes its swing at refashioning the cliché characteristics in order to reveal the revelation of the “new” Dave. The Fashion-Faces team collabo-rated with industry professionals to showcase this passage from venue male vixen to gentlemen’s quar-terly rocker. Introducing the radio host to the mul-tifaceted aspects of fashion and style, the team pro-vided the execution of new hair color and suave style tactics, outfit recommendations, and tips to continue evolving this new image and reputation. Stay tuned into Fashion-Faces media coverage video stream and KWSS radio podcast to follow the progression and evolution of Dave Darin’s tailored new look with edge.

A photo shoot was recently organized at the newly established Xara Lodge, l/o Rabat Malta, a country house fully converted to meet the modern demands for the conferences and special events. N’Mode Agen-cy was the first entity to be entrusted to take this opportunity, and uti-lize the potential of this unique building and organise a fashion shoot.

As part of the strategy, N’Mode always seeks for new challenges to the enrolled models. An 18 year old red haired model, Gabriella Borg, was selected for this photo shoot, under a particular theme, Gold Rush.The theme was complemented with clothing & accessories with gold touches, carefully selected by the agency fashion stylist Vicky M, in collaboration with Miss Selfridge Malta. Agency hairstyl-ist, Dominic Bartolo, from Domdreads, made use of Gaby’s curly hair for the first part of the shoot, to sleek wet look for the second part.

All this was complimented with a refined touch from Makeup artist Carole Muscat, from Beau-ty by Carole.M, glamour the model look, with gold touches.

Marcia McGovernHAIR STYLIST

by SAMANTHA KEMP


I met Marcia McGovern when I toured Kohler Academy the first time and instantly felt what I can now identify as relief. Little

did I know it would be life changing for me on many levels. The decision to attend beauty school was a big one considering

it was a mid-life career change for me and I assumed I would be the oldest person in the school which, even at my age, sends you

right back to your high school insecurities. I walked into one of the classrooms and her welcoming smile put me at ease. I took

a second tour, just to be sure, and there she was again. She was a ‘senior’ at the academy when I began so we only had 8 weeks

together and that was on a different schedule. We passed in the hallways on Thursdays and that was the extent of our com-

munication. We even became friends on Facebook but still hardly communicated due to busy schedules, children, jobs, and life.


I soon found out that this person that I now call ‘My Angel on Earth’ was a few years older than me and was also doing the midlife

career change. She was the creator and owner of ‘Bouquet of Blessings’ which is a clay floral company that provided classes for local

women’s groups with her instruction. These classes proved to be an amazing bonding experience for women across the East Valley.

Marcia had been seeing the same hair stylist, Cindy Engstrom, for over 12 years. One day they had a discussion and Cindy encouraged

Marcia to attend beauty school and then to work alongside Cindy and her business partner, Manda Johnson. Within weeks, Marcia

was committed and enrolled and on the whirlwind roller coaster of beauty school and all that goes along with it. During her time there

she was blessed with some of the best friendships in her classmates, also in the middle of career changes. Marcia doesn’t take or do

anything lightly. Within weeks she entered “Beacon” which a national hair competition and was selected as 1 of the 100 national winners

out of over 600 entries. During her time at Kohler Academy, she also studied abroad in Tokyo, Japan. See, I told you she does it big!

Marcia is now in her second year at Zynergy Salon working alongside her mentors, Cindy Engstrom and Manda Johson. Marcia cuts

my hair and I always tell people, she even has a bit of a little flowing angelic dance when she’s cutting hair... How does she do that!?

In the last year, Marcia has jumped into the world of editorial styling. Her first big leap was the creation of several hair

pieces made out of nothing but hair. These pieces were submitted to another national hair competition and have been

the subject of much discussion with regard to her amazing talents in design. Her background with clay design and her cre-

ative vision have put her in a category that many of us in the industry will only dream of. Marcia is nothing short of passion-

ate about her hair collections, bridal shows, and editorial styling for magazines, and contributing to the industry as a whole.


In October of last year, right before I graduated, I had coffee with Marcia. This little meeting launched the begin-

ning of one of the dearest relationships of my life. Not only have I been fortunate enough to be mentored by Marcia, I

also have had the opportunity to watch her soar. What I am most impressed by is the fact that no matter how difficult a situa-

tion may be, no matter how difficult people can be at times, she always approaches it with a positive attitude and grace. When I

am yelling and screaming and venting, Marcia is calm, cool, collected and weighs the pros and cons. She talks it through,

she prays about it if she feels it necessary, and she always handles it just right. Her faith has inspired my life beyond explanation.

One of my favorite quotes is by Maya Angelou: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did,

but people will never forget how you made them feel.” I don’t think there is a person on this earth that has interacted with Marcia

McGovern for more than two minutes that will argue that no matter what, you ALWAYS feel better and brighter after spending time

with her. She makes you want to be a better person without even knowing she’s doing it.

Keep an eye on Marcia. With her talent and personality, you’ll be seeing a lot more of her in the future!
