Photographers @oconci @osantos.henri / Credits and full technical sheet at the end of the article DES PREZO arrives at its Drop 3 with a collection that closes a cycle and opens the door to a new chapter. Entitled UGLY KIDS DEAD DREAMS, the collection embodies the brand’s evolution. The name speaks to those who have always felt outside the norm and to the dreams left behind along the way, which ultimately made room for something greater and more consistent. This time, the message is clear: dreaming is not enough, transformation is essential. The rebellious and experimental aesthetic that has always defined the brand now comes with a more conscious and strategic vision. Maturity can be found in every detail, without erasing the nonconformist essence that makes DES PREZO a true reference of authenticity. The pieces combine oversized silhouettes, raw textures, and refined finishes. The color palette is the widest the brand has ever used, yet it preserves its identity through intense washes and distressed effects inspired by grunge, punk, and rave culture. The collection also embraces a variety of materials, including leather, knitwear, denim, jersey, and fleece, showcasing both strength and technical precision. If the previous drop was about exploring dreams, this one carries a more realistic message. It’s about understanding that growing up also means letting go of certain illusions, without losing creative power. This shift is reflected in the balance between bold pieces and more commercial ones, designed to be worn while still provoking thought. The collection’s narrative resonates with a generation that matured quickly, that often felt out of place, but discovered creativity as a way to exist. Wearing DES PREZO means embodying this story of struggle, resistance, and transformation. We had the opportunity to interview the brand's creative director, Guilherme Menegat Biondo. Check it out below: The collection is titled UGLY KIDS DEAD DREAMS, which carries a deep symbolic weight. How is this concept translated into the pieces and the overall aesthetic? The name already conveys much of what we wanted to express. It is about those children who grew up feeling different, who dreamed of something beyond what the world offered. Along the way, they faced reality. This forces you to stay grounded, swallow the dream, and refine it. This collection is more mature and conscious than all the others. The aesthetic embraces contrast, with pieces featuring wide silhouettes and raw textures, yet finished with precision and refinement. It is our collection with the widest color palette so far, and also the one that challenged us the most technically. Each piece carries a level of detail and complexity that reflects this process of maturation. UGLY KIDS DEAD DREAMS marks a turning point, where nonconformity remains, but now with greater clarity of purpose. When you talk about "the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new phase," you suggest creative and business maturity. How does this maturity appear in the construction of the clothes and the narrative of the collection? Before, everything was very impulsive. We created with the heart—which still exists—but today we are able to balance that with strategy. During ‘Punk Ravers,’ I was able to express aesthetically everything I had always imagined for the brand, but I still lacked experience. Over time, I understood that having a brand means being more than a designer—it also means being a businessperson. Being a designer requires imagination; being a businessperson requires calculation and responsibility. I think this new phase is about combining these two aspects. We continue to create bold, technical pieces with unique cuts and unconventional proposals, but now with more conscious decisions. We test fabrics, patterns, bring more color, more complexity—but also seek commercial balance. We revisited patterns that worked in the past, invested in impactful pieces and others that are visually more accessible, without giving up our identity. It is a collection with a variety of materials—leather, knitwear, denim, jersey, sweatshirt fabrics, accessories—but with shorter production times and more precise execution. The maturity is reflected precisely here: not in reducing creative ambition, but in understanding better where and how to apply it. The idea of dead dreams and the weight of reality seems to speak to a whole generation that grew up “off the curve.” How do you hope this message will resonate with the audience that wears DES PREZO? We believe that many people experience this conflict: growing up creative, intense, and outside the norm—and then being swallowed by a world that wants to normalize them. This collection doesn’t come with answers, but with identification. We want those who wear Des Prezo to feel that they are not alone in the process of accepting that some dreams die, but others are born from that. It’s about transformation. In terms of design, what were the main elements, materials, or silhouettes chosen to convey this duality between youthful rebellion and a more conscious new phase? Since the end of last year, I began structuring a collection that would be visually strong but also function strategically. The challenge was to combine pieces with bold designs that represented our identity with others that were more accessible, aiming to expand the business and connect with a broader audience. Unlike Punk Ravers, which truly gave me space to dream and create a freer aesthetic, this new phase led me to a more introspective approach, revisiting my childhood and the dreams I had at that time. I drew on personal references, especially from music videos. From there, I tried to fuse these memories with a more mature and concise language, balancing grunge elements with traces of the punk and raver universe we had been developing for the brand. The result is a collection rich in references but cohesive in execution—visually strong, with identity and purpose. This fusion produced a collection that explores contrasts: t-shirts with heavy graphics share space with cleaner-looking pieces; washed and distressed items coexist with more traditional shapes. All of this helps express the tension between youth and maturity—a balance I consider essential for Des Prezo, which is more than a brand; it is a living organism that evolves, learns, and transforms with each collection. "Ugly Kids" symbolizes the outsiders, while "Dead Dreams" speaks to what has been left behind. How do you balance this melancholy with the creative energy needed for such a striking collection? As a creative, my most powerful energy has always come from moments when I wasn’t feeling well. Dead Dreams does not emerge as a lament—it represents a turning point, a moment of maturity. It is as if, for the first time, everything is clearer. We have a direction. Looking back and seeing everything we have built proves that nothing happened by chance. With two and a half years of the brand, we have already done things I never imagined, and yet it feels like this is just a new starting point. The essence of DES PREZO remains the same, but now we have a more strategic, more conscious vision. The melancholy of the name does not paralyze us—on the contrary, it pushes us forward. Because maturing also means accepting that dreams change, that some must be left behind, and that this does not make us any less creative. It makes us more prepared. This collection is about transforming frustration into action. It is about understanding that to keep dreaming, we need to work, adapt, and grow. So Ugly Kids. Dead Dreams. is not an end—it is a milestone. The consolidation of everything we have been and the beginning of everything we are yet to become. DES PREZO has always been connected to the idea of transgression and breaking norms. In this new chapter, what remains as the essence of the brand and what is reinvented for the future? For me, DES PREZO has always been more than a brand—it is a living organism, constantly evolving. And like any organism, it matures over time, with the people involved, and through the experiences we live both inside and outside the creative process. From the beginning, our greatest commitment has been to aesthetics, to creating something we did not see around us. That has not changed. What changes is our perspective: today, besides being creative, I am also responsible for making the business work. Over time, I learned that being a designer and being a businessperson are roles that often contradict each other. One works with imagination, the other with reality. What is changing now is the structure, not the soul. We continue to provoke, create, and seek something new—but now with more awareness, strategy, and consistency. This new moment is about balancing desire and feasibility. We have learned from the market, from our mistakes and successes, and we are using this knowledge to grow without losing who we are. It is not about erasing the past or softening our ideas—it is about maturing what we have built. The change is structural, not creative. The essence remains: creating with truth, speaking to those who have never been heard, and occupying spaces where no one wants us to be. _____________________ Technical Sheet Creative Direction @bwvvs Photographers @oconci @osantos.henri Executive Production @magna.prod Lighting @rods_321 Talents @_ikaro_f @sheikh_dieng_ @switch.mgmt Styling @bwvvs @deboracamassola @tina.cambruzzi Set Design @bwvvs @magna.prod Flags @stang.vhs Guitar @_leosandi Location @___nucleo Video direction and filming @pablodorosario Make and Hair @deboracamassola Production assistant @tina.cambruzzi @colomboaliciaa @odraopc Art direction and design @bwvvs @odraopc Finishing and retouch @bwvvs

'DUBAI - دبيّ ' COVER EDITION - AUGUST 2025 ISSUE Photographer: @Soyisa_makeup / Beauty: @Hamzahairdresser @Soyisa_makeup Dubai was the stage chosen for the new Hooks Magazine cover, starring Dr. Fernanda Vitallino. A leading name in aesthetic biomedicine and a fashion enthusiast, she blends technique, sensitivity, and style in work that goes beyond beauty, reaching into self-esteem and confidence for each patient. With experience in 11 countries and a routine that includes traveling for study and refinement, Fernanda sees every journey as a source of inspiration. Her international background has taught her to view beauty in a plural way, respecting individuality and valuing each person’s essence. This cultural exchange directly shapes her practice, making her approach both unique and deeply humanized. For Fernanda, aesthetics go far beyond procedures. Influenced by her journey in the fashion world, she brings style into her clinic, turning every detail into an experience. From the impeccable look she chooses to start the day to the fashion tips she shares with her patients, her work reinforces the belief that self-esteem is a reflection of both inner and outer beauty. At her clinic on São Paulo, she has created a true space of care and comfort. Each patient is welcomed with personalized attention, in an environment that combines well-being, sophistication, and warmth. For Fernanda, transparency and trust are essential, and her care extends beyond treatments: it includes thoughtful details, post-procedure follow-ups, and the certainty that every patient leaves more confident than when they arrived. Her career is driven by the positive impact she generates in people’s lives. Among the many transformative stories, she fondly recalls the case of a patient who, after a long and difficult relationship, rediscovered personal growth through self-care. For Fernanda, moments like this are proof that aesthetics hold the power of emotional healing. Always in search of innovation, the doctor incorporates cutting-edge technologies into her practice, such as Ultraformer MPT, Fotona, and HIFU, along with revolutionary actives like exosomes and PDRN. According to her, the focus today is on enhancing natural beauty, stimulating collagen, and restoring radiance and vitality to the skin with subtle and sophisticated results. A devoted mother and tireless professional, Fernanda finds her greatest strength in balance. The bond with her son fuels her journey and inspires her sensitive outlook on both life and her profession. Check out the exclusive interview: You have already visited 11 countries and often travel to study and refine your techniques. How do these international experiences influence your perspective on aesthetics and the way you care for your patients? I believe that with every trip, I gain the experience of seeing beauty through different lenses and understanding what is considered beautiful in each culture. This brings me great inspiration for my work and also helps me treat each patient with individuality, humanizing my care while enhancing the best in everyone’s beauty. I’ve also noticed that nowadays, while we Brazilians often draw inspiration from international figures, the opposite is also true. Brazil has become a global reference not only in fashion but also in beauty and aesthetic treatments. And I absolutely love this exchange! In addition to aesthetic biomedicine, you have a strong connection with fashion and even managed a store under your own name. How does this fashion universe continue to influence the way you communicate beauty and style in your clinic’s daily routine? To this day, I bring much of my personal style into my work. I have always been passionate about fashion and trends, and that will stay with me forever. I often say that my daily ritual begins every morning when I get ready, put on a beautiful outfit, and carry that whole experience of truly lifting each patient’s self-esteem into my day. I am there to show how much self-care matters, not only for the skin and beauty but also for how fashion and style references can deeply impact each patient’s confidence. And they love it — they often ask me for tips. This creates an even closer bond between me and my patients. Your clinic in São Paulo is described by you as a special “haven” of care. What do you make a point of offering so that your patients feel so warmly welcomed in this space? I love welcoming them with great energy, talking with each one about their concerns, and working together to find what truly works for them. All of this is done with transparency and aligned expectations. I’m always creating special moments, surprising them with little gifts. I strive to provide an experience from the moment the patient arrives, with a pleasant atmosphere, gourmet coffee, and finger foods. During the treatment, I step into my “Boss” moment, where with full dedication and care, I bring security and confidence to each one. I always finish my appointments with thoughtful gifts and follow-up care, tailored personally to every patient. Working with self-esteem seems to be one of the main driving forces of your career. What has been the most remarkable transformation you have witnessed in a patient? Absolutely, there was a patient who had just come out of a long-term relationship and had consistently neglected her self-care. She arrived seeking a transformation, and gradually, through various treatments, we achieved a beautiful result. I continue to follow her progress, and I can see how she has blossomed and radiates confidence—it is evident even in her expression how important self-esteem is and how it can truly change lives. She still travels from a nearby city for her appointments, and we have built an incredible connection that goes beyond the professional patient relationship. You often mention staying updated and bringing the best the market has to offer. Which recent technological innovations or techniques have impressed you and are already part of your clinical routine? Nowadays in aesthetics, fillers are used much more cautiously compared to older treatments. The focus is now on achieving radiant, rejuvenated skin with strategically enhanced points, tailored to each patient. I have been working extensively with lasers such as Ultraformer MPT, Fotona, and Hifu, as well as new products that have recently entered the market, like Exosomes and PDRN (salmon DNA). All of these treatments enhance natural beauty by stimulating collagen, improving skin firmness, refining fine lines and pores. The results are truly remarkable. As a mother, high-performance professional, and someone passionate about aesthetics, how do you balance these different roles in your life? Since having my son, and at a very young age, I have always been very hardworking. I took a year and a half exclusively for motherhood, as Davi has always been my priority. After that, I returned to my professional activities. I believe I learned to balance these two roles throughout life. Motherhood also played a fundamental role in my journey… everything happened very quickly for me, perhaps I matured early, which fueled my drive to grow and pursue entrepreneurship. He deserves an incredible future and is the main reason behind all my efforts. Today, I am the foundation of my household. We share many moments together, and even with a busy schedule, I always find small pauses to enjoy special times and quality moments. I believe creating memories builds lifelong bonds and lasting recollections. Our connection is very strong, and our relationship is grounded in love and open communication. I am deeply in love with my amazing boy.

Photos Disclosure Louis Vuitton Louis Vuitton makes a bold move with the debut of its first-ever makeup collection, La Beauté Louis Vuitton , under the creative direction of legendary Dame Pat McGrath . In a synergy that bridges heritage and innovation, the Maison translates its century-old codes into coveted objects of beauty that transcend cosmetics — becoming symbols of art, luxury, and memory. The campaign, fronted by House Ambassador Hoyeon , brings this vision to life. At its center is the standout 896 Monogram Rouge , a burnished, fiery red lipstick that fuses the strength of the Monogram canvas with the timeless sophistication of classic femininity. Pat McGrath’s Vision The iconic makeup artist speaks of freedom, diversity, and the emotional power of beauty. “La Beauté Louis Vuitton is my gift of freedom… I want to make sure everybody is completely happy. It is not one nude that works for all. No.” – Pat McGrath “I have been creating makeup looks for Louis Vuitton for many years. We have a shared vision of beauty and collaborate in a way that feels entirely natural.” – Pat McGrath And when it comes to the purpose behind the line, her words capture its essence: “The objective was to create products that you would never want to let go of — a versatile colour wardrobe designed to suit every moment, mood and occasion.” – Pat McGrath The Collection’s Icons • LV Rouge : 55 luxurious lipsticks in satin and matte finishes, enriched with shea butter, hyaluronic acid, and recycled floral waxes. • LV Ombres : 8 eyeshadow palettes blending three timeless neutrals with one bold accent shade. • LV Baume : 10 translucent balms that bring hydration with a subtle wash of color. Each product is refillable , affirming Louis Vuitton’s commitment to sustainable luxury. Packaging as an Heirloom Designed by Konstantin Grcic , the refillable packaging elevates beauty into artistry. A magnetic clasp inspired by the Monogram flower nods to the Maison’s travel heritage, transforming every piece into a collectible object. Why Heritage Awakened Matters This is more than a collection — it’s a manifesto. By merging the audacity of a classic red lipstick with the rich brown tones of Louis Vuitton’s iconic canvas, Heritage Awakened declares that beauty, like fashion, can be timeless, fearless, and built to carry legacy forward.

Miu Miu has never been a brand that plays it safe. Balancing delicacy with irony, playfulness with sophistication, the Italian maison thrives on provocation. Now, under L’Oréal’s beauty wing, the house unveils Miutine, a new fragrance — a gourmand chypre with a rebellious twist, inviting us to embrace authenticity with a smile. And to embody this spirit, the campaign stars none other than Emma Corrin, a long-time muse of the brand. Photos Disclosure MiuMiu The fragrance that breaks the rules Crafted by master perfumer Dominique Ropion, Miutine is the olfactory definition of charm in rebellion. The scent blends the indulgence of gourmand with the structure of a classic chypre, creating a sophisticated tension between sparkling citrus notes, a floral heart, and an earthy base enriched with brown sugar and wild strawberry. The highlight is the rare French variety Mara des Bois, which brings a jam-like, sweet yet textured sensation. The bottle, meanwhile, echoes the maison’s heritage — a caramel matelassé finish crowned by a bold black-and-white collar detail, recalling an elegant piece of jewelry. Emma Corrin: The face of Miutine A Miu Miu muse since 2020, Emma Corrin now takes center stage in the campaign directed by Hailey Benton Gates. In a surreal library setting, Corrin defies gravity, leafing through dictionaries in search of the word “Miutine” and tossing perfume bottles into the air as if they were floating pearls. “Miutine is about freedom. It’s sweet and fun, but also strong and sophisticated. When I wear it, I think of an intense summer’s day, the kind that stays with you,” Corrin shared in an interview. For the actress, the fragrance goes beyond a mere accessory. “I feel like Miutine carries the humor and independence I admire. It has this gorgeous mix of strawberry, gardenia, and vanilla that makes me smile while giving me a sense of confidence.” A fragrance with a literary spirit Currently preparing to play Elizabeth Bennet in a new adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, Corrin also links the character to Miutine’s essence: “Elizabeth has always been a rebellious and witty heroine, and I believe she would wear this perfume. It has that balance of charm, freshness, and audacity.” For a generation that loves irreverence More than a beauty launch, Miutine is a style statement. It arrives perfectly in sync with Gen Z, a generation that craves authenticity and playfulness even in fragrance. The trend is undeniable: gourmand perfumes are skyrocketing across social media, and Miu Miu taps into that with a creation that’s not just sweet, but ironic, whimsical, and deeply sophisticated. “What I love most about Miutine is that it doesn’t try to please everyone — it’s confident, bold, and full of humor. Exactly how I want to feel,” Corrin concludes.

'FASHION' COVER EDITION - AUGUST 2025 ISSUE Photographer: @gustavoviolaboaretto / Makeup: @felipehiratamakeup / Production: @gabipolary / Look: @_anystore The FASHION edition of Hooks Magazine celebrates women who transform style into purpose, fashion into power, and business into legacy. Our cover is Anahí Rodrighero, a name that resonates authenticity and inspiration in the fashion scene, proving that dressing is far beyond following trends, it is about building stories and revealing one’s own strength. For Anahí, fashion and self-esteem go hand in hand. Choosing an outfit is not just an aesthetic act, but a gesture of self-confidence and self-awareness. “Our clothes speak even before we open our mouths,” she states. This perspective reflects her intimate relationship with dressing, which is more than an expression, it is a tool for emotional and social impact. Among her key pieces, the classic tailored blazer holds a place of prominence, serving as her confidence talisman. Earrings, indispensable accessories in her daily routine, complete this ritual of dressing as a statement of power. Anahí also uses fashion as an ally in moments of vulnerability. On days when she needs an extra boost of security, she turns to color psychology, balancing dress codes with sensitivity and strategy. Her philosophy is clear. Personal style is not a fixed label, but a construction in motion, shaped by phases, experiences, and transformations. “We all have our essence, but style reinvents itself according to our desires and experiences,” she shares. This dynamic perspective keeps her true to her identity even amid the pressure of ever-changing seasonal trends. The impact fashion has on her energy is evident even in small gestures. Switching from pajamas to a workout outfit, Anahí feels vitality renewed, as if the clothing has the power to reframe her day. This awareness makes her message even more powerful. Fashion is not vanity, it is a tool for well-being and personal empowerment. At the forefront of a journey defined by courage, strength, and determination, words that best capture her style and personality, Anahí Rodrighero demonstrates that dressing is also an act of positioning oneself in the world. Her presence on the cover of the FASHION edition reinforces Hooks Magazine’s mission to highlight talents who transform fashion into a reflection of freedom, authenticity, and power. Read the full interview: 1- Any, for you, what is the deepest connection between fashion and self-esteem? For me, dressing goes far beyond clothing. It is the way we present ourselves to the world. Our outfits speak even before we open our mouths, and this is directly connected to our well-being, confidence, and self-esteem. 2- Is there any piece of clothing or accessory that you consider your “confidence amulet”? When I want to feel confident, the piece that gives me that is the classic tailored blazer. And an accessory? Earrings! They are a must. 3- How do you choose an outfit on days when you need an extra boost of emotional confidence? I use color psychology a lot when I want to express myself, and I believe that each environment and occasion requires its own dress code. 4- In your opinion, is personal style something we are born with or something that is built over a lifetime? We all have our unique essence and identity, but personal style is built and constantly reinvented according to our desires, phases, and experiences. 5- Have you ever experienced a moment when an outfit completely changed your state of mind? Absolutely! Every day, when I take off my pajamas and put on a workout outfit in the morning, it feels like my energy is renewed. 6- How do you deal with the pressure of trends without losing your own identity? Trends come and go constantly, and recognizing what suits your own body and shape is essential to avoid frustration among so many new styles, because what works for someone else will not always work for you. 7- What advice would you give to someone who wants to use fashion as a tool to feel more confident? Dare! Try new styles, explore your own identity, and consider each situation and moment when choosing your outfit. 8- If you could translate your style into three words that also define your personality, what would they be? COURAGE STRENGTH DETERMINATION

Photos Disclosure Pinterest In fashion, the smallest details often make the biggest impact. Right now, no accessory is commanding more attention than the scarf. Once seen as a seasonal essential, scarves are reemerging as a statement piece, redefining the way style insiders approach versatility and elegance. From silk classics tied effortlessly around the neck to bold oversized designs draped across shoulders, the scarf has officially reclaimed its place as the ultimate must-have. What makes scarves so alluring today is their adaptability. They can be knotted as a headpiece for a vintage-inspired look, wrapped as a belt to cinch the waist, or even styled as a chic top for summer evenings. This multifunctional charm makes them more than just accessories; they are style solutions. Fashion houses and independent designers are exploring playful patterns, saturated colors, and luxurious fabrics, proving that the scarf is no longer confined to practical use but celebrated as a creative medium of self-expression. The resurgence of scarves is also aligned with a broader movement in fashion: the desire for timeless, sustainable pieces. Unlike fleeting trends, scarves transcend seasons and generations. Many style enthusiasts are rediscovering vintage treasures in thrift shops or repurposing heirloom silk squares passed down through families, giving them a new life with modern styling. This sense of continuity between past and present is what makes the scarf so powerful. It connects heritage with innovation. On the runways, scarves have been spotted tied into handbags, layered over tailored blazers, or transformed into dramatic headwraps, blurring the line between accessory and centerpiece. Off the runway, influencers are showing how a simple scarf can elevate even the most minimal outfits, turning jeans and a white shirt into a polished, editorial-worthy look. The rise of scarves is not just about fashion. It is about attitude. To wear one is to embrace creativity, to play with identity, and to express personal style in an effortless yet intentional way. As fashion leans toward individuality and sustainable choices, the scarf emerges as the perfect symbol of this era: endlessly adaptable, timelessly chic, and always transformative. This season, one accessory is rewriting the rules of style. And it all begins with a single piece of fabric: the scarf.

Committed to delivering results that transform not only faces but life stories 'HEALTH' COVER EDITION - AUGUST 2025 ISSUE Photographer: Mauricio Leandro - @leboarding / Press: @duo.strategy Dr. Magno Liberato, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, is recognized as one of the leading names in the specialty in Brazil. A reference in the treatment of bone, muscle, and joint diseases of the face, he handles highly complex cases ranging from orthognathic surgery and facial feminization to permanent facial prostheses. With a solid and multidisciplinary background, he brings experience from prestigious institutions such as the Brazilian Red Cross Hospital in São Paulo, the Felippu Institute of Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery, and the Albert Einstein Israeli Hospital. He is also a specialist in disorders such as bruxism, headaches, snoring, and sleep apnea, combining technical precision with a humanized approach to transform his patients’ lives. Check out the exclusive interview: Did you know from the start that you would pursue oral and maxillofacial surgery, or was it a path that evolved over the course of your training? What first sparked that passion in you? It was a Tuesday, during my second year of college and the first class in surgery. I walked into the classroom, and the professor already had the first slide projected on the board with the name of the specialty and six photos of different surgeries. Right there, in that moment, I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. It was love at first sight — something so complex and yet so transformative in a patient’s life (and in mine). What was the most challenging obstacle you faced on your path to establishing yourself as an oral and maxillofacial specialist — personally or professionally — and how did it shape you? A lot of studying. A lot. I understood, and still do, that the outcome of a surgery is my responsibility, and I must be as prepared as possible to meet the expectations of those who entrust their health to me. Is there a case — whether due to its technical complexity or emotional significance — that has deeply marked your career? What makes it unforgettable for you? The most complex cases are directly connected to patients who are emotionally shaken by their facial appearance or by functional issues caused by defects in that region. They arrive with great hope that everything will be resolved. And when we achieve what they long for, the tears of emotion appear — and that makes the moment truly unforgettable. Looking back, what is the greatest achievement in your career that makes you proud? And what remains your biggest dream within the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery? My greatest achievement is seeing my patients happy. Sometimes I receive messages like “look at this picture I took, I look so beautiful” or “I’ve never been breathing and sleeping so well.” That is the true achievement for me. And my dream is clear: to reach as many people as possible with the message that there is a solution for the problems they face. And it doesn’t necessarily have to be with me — but it needs to be addressed. How do you balance the precision required in the operating room with your emotional well-being? Is there any practice or habit outside of work that revitalizes you? It’s impossible for me to give my best to a patient if I’m not at my best. So I train every day, meditate, pray, and have a wonderful family and an amazing girlfriend who support me and help me be a better person. This way, I’m happier — and I bring that joy wherever I go. What message would you give to those who dream of pursuing this specialty, especially for those who still hesitate because of fear of the challenges? Fall in love with it. Before being technically skilled, before being a diligent student, you have to truly love it. Only when you feel this strong passion within yourself should you move forward. And this applies to anything in life. Outside the operating room, who is Dr. Magno? What values guide your personal life, and how do they reflect in the professional you are today? Magno is a fun, easygoing person who always seeks the best, both personally and professionally. My non-negotiable value is honesty. I cannot do what is wrong, and it’s not out of fear of judgment, but because of principles.

His passion for photography began at the age of 13, when his father gave him his first camera. What started as a game with friends quickly turned into a profession, and by the time he was 18, he was already earning from his shots. With divorced parents, he left home at a young age to live on his own. It was in independence — and through mistakes — that he sharpened both his artistic eye and personal strength. As a model, Dylan has not only attended the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in France but also continues to make his mark at the British Fashion Awards annually. He has graced the runways of Milan Fashion Week 2022 and London Fashion Week 2023, and took on the role of photography director for London Fashion Week 2024. His work has been featured in Vogue Magazine, praised by Ellie Goulding, and published twice in Playboy Italia — a true milestone. Among his passions are photography, music, singing, training, and traveling. More than just creating beautiful images, Dylan strives to tell stories filled with authenticity, impact, and identity — whether he’s in front of the lens or behind it.

Photo Disclosure Press Wherever she goes, Fernanda Lo Re carries a style that is both classic and strategically thought out. “I’ve always been deeply connected to fashion, but always respecting my own style,” she says. For her, dressing goes far beyond aesthetics — it’s about positioning, respecting the people you meet, and even protection. “Clothing communicates long before we say a single word,” she reflects. A fan of the high-low approach, she mixes accessible pieces with more sophisticated ones, translating the balance and personality that define her journey. Her perspective on fashion gained new layers when she moved to Dubai, a city she describes as a “crossroads of cultures” where elegance is almost an unspoken rule. “Here, even for a trip to the mall, your posture is different. Not necessarily wearing fully covered outfits, but always with more elegance. My classic style fit in naturally.” Before arriving in the United Arab Emirates, Fernanda lived in Singapore, where laid-back casual was the prevailing aesthetic. The move to Dubai redefined not only her wardrobe but also her concept of appropriateness and presence. Life in the Middle East also made her rethink her choices. Casual shoes like flip-flops, common in Singapore, gave way to more sophisticated models, often from luxury brands. “It’s a mindset shift that follows the pace and the proposition of the city,” she explains. While for many Dubai is synonymous with ostentation, for Fernanda, local luxury works as fuel. “The city seems to say: ‘You can get here too.’ It fuels dreams and mindset. Luxury is part of daily life and changes your perspective as an entrepreneur, as a woman, and as a human being.” This immersion in the capital of the luxury market brought her closer to the backstage of major brands. “Today, I understand how fashion houses build positioning and how that influences behavior worldwide. More than wearing a brand, it’s about understanding the value it communicates and how that can open doors.” When it comes to image, Fernanda is categorical: “My standards have completely changed. What used to feel enough no longer represents me. Living in Dubai has refined my vision. It’s not vanity, it’s strategy.” For her, fashion and business go hand in hand. “A good watch isn’t just an accessory — it shows how much your time is worth. It’s symbolic. People treat you differently when you convey value.” And even while immersed in Dubai’s refinement, the entrepreneur carries the lightness of Brazil in her heart. “From Brazil, I miss the smile, the spontaneity, the good humor. In the business world, warmth, empathy, and presence matter — a lot. Being elegant is also about being kind.”
