With over three decades of experience, drummer and music producer Daniel Wesley de Carvalho has built a career defined by versatility, technical mastery, and collaborations with major names in Christian and popular music, including Paulo César Baruk, Double You, and Hygor Junker. Photos Disclosure Press Born in São Paulo, Daniel Wesley began his musical journey at the age of nine, in 1993, playing drums in churches and participating in worship groups. From an early age, he showed great talent and dedication, studying under some of the most respected teachers of the time — among them, the renowned instructor Douglas Las Casas, who became one of his main influences. By the age of 15, Daniel decided to turn his gift into a profession, giving private lessons and joining the teaching staff of the Escola de Arte Cristã (EAC), where he also worked as an evaluator. Career and partnerships in gospel music As a performing musician, Daniel built a solid career as a sideman, accompanying artists and contributing to recordings, compositions, and musical arrangements. Among his most notable collaborations is his work with Hygor Junker , for whom he recorded the album Escolha  (2012), available on YouTube and major streaming platforms. He also collaborated with Beto Leite , a well-known singer and songwriter in the Christian scene, and with Samuel Mizrahy  on the album Nova Mente . Mizrahy — a singer, producer, and the creative mind behind the children’s projects 3 Palavrinhas  and Oinc Filmes  — is one of the leading figures in Christian entertainment for kids. With Paulo César Baruk and on the biggest stages of Brazilian gospel music Another highlight of Daniel Wesley’s career is his long-standing partnership with Paulo César Baruk , one of the most respected names in Brazilian gospel music. With Baruk, Daniel performed at major events such as Jesus Vida Verão 2020 , held at Praia de Itapoã (ES), which gathered over 30,000 people each night. He also joined LIVE Missão Cena , a benefit project streamed on Baruk TV’s YouTube channel in support of Comunidade Evangélica Nova Aurora (Missão CENA) , performing alongside artists like Amanda Rodrigues. In addition, he took part in the EP Lado Único , further establishing his position among the leading musicians in the Brazilian gospel scene. International tours and performances with Double You Versatile and technically skilled, Daniel Wesley expanded beyond the gospel circuit by joining tours with Double You , the iconic 1990s eurodance group known for global hits like Please Don’t Go  and We All Need Love . With the band, he performed at major shows such as Hot Classics , held at Assembleia Paraense, which brought together more than 10,000 attendees. At the same event, he also played alongside British artist Nicki French , maintaining a busy schedule of concerts and studio sessions. Led by William Naraine , Double You remains active, performing at international retro festivals and live events — a testament to Daniel’s broad range and adaptability across genres. Other projects and collaborations Daniel Wesley has also performed alongside artists on major Brazilian television programs such as Domingão do Faustão  (TV Globo) and Record News Entrevista , hosted by Heródoto Barbeiro . Among his most recent works are recordings with Eduardo Faustino , a Brazilian artist and filmmaker based in California, founder of Tupi Coffee  and creator of the album Minimal Exposure Vol. 1 , available on all major streaming platforms. His versatility has also led him to collaborate on notable audiovisual productions, including the Netflix series Sintonia  — one of the platform’s most-watched Brazilian productions and a nominee for the Platino Award for Best Ibero-American Series . Musical education and legacy Beyond the stage and studio, Daniel remains deeply involved in music education . As the creator of workshops and masterclasses focused on developing technical skills for drummers and church musicians, he has taught in several Brazilian cities, sharing his expertise and inspiring the next generation of artists. With experience in both gospel and popular music, Daniel Wesley continues to build a career that reflects his dedication to rhythm, creativity, and connection through sound — a true testament to his passion for the craft.

'USA' EDITION COVER - NOVEMBER 2025 ISSUE Photo: @fotografajuliana.nyc / Hair: @rivashairstyle / Makeup @ isabelle.tramontim.makeup Photographed in New York, Marcela Biondo graces the cover of the USA edition with the confidence and radiance of someone who has turned her art into a global movement. DJ, producer, and visionary, she represents a generation that sees music not just as sound, but as a language — a bridge between cultures, rhythms, and stories. The Sound That Crosses Borders When Marcela steps onto the stage, something happens. The crowd gives in to the beat, even without understanding every word — and that’s exactly where the power of her work lies. “Funk has an infectious energy and a very strong identity. People connect with the rhythm. It shows that music is a universal language,” she says. With a career built on courage and authenticity, Marcela found her place in the American music scene by revealing the power of beats that celebrate freedom and belonging. “When I arrived in the United States, I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I also knew that funk had something unique to offer. Today, seeing the American audience connect with this sound is one of the greatest rewards of my journey.” The Brazilian DJ The title “The Brazilian DJ”  has become a symbol of the artist — more than a nickname, it’s a sonic identity. “It’s a way of representing the energy and originality of our culture. Funk is more than just a rhythm; it’s a social expression, a language born in the favelas that has conquered the world.” Blending Brazilian beats with international influences, Marcela creates a modern and captivating fusion, expanding the reach of funk and proving that the dance floor can be a space of cultural freedom. I LOVE FAVELA — global beats, local soul Her new project, I LOVE FAVELA , marks one of the most significant chapters of her career. “I wanted to honor the roots of funk and showcase all the strength and joy that come from the communities. Funk is resistance, creativity, and pride,” she explains. The track was born from a union of talents: it was written by Tállia (@eutallia_) , the songwriter behind some of the genre’s biggest hits; features MC Lone (@mclone_) , who has over 3 million listeners on Spotify; and Gabby B (@gabbyb_music) , a Miami-based pop artist who sings in four languages. The single’s cover was created by Rio-based illustrator João Lucas (@jcaslu) , while the entire campaign was developed by Alan Richard (@alanrichardz) , a specialist in strategic design and digital launches. The music production is signed by DJ Marcela Biondo  herself, in collaboration with Lyric Lab (mylyriclab) . “I LOVE FAVELA represents love, identity, and the celebration of who we are. It’s a reminder that our culture can be global without losing its roots,” she summarizes. A rising name in global music From performances across several U.S. cities to collaborations with major names in the scene, Marcela has collected unforgettable moments. “One of the most memorable was a show in New York — a packed house, incredible energy, and the feeling of standing on the same stage where great artists have performed,” she recalls. And the future promises even more. Her next release, ‘FEZ 18’ , a collaboration with DJ GG  and Sérgio Antonini , is already on its way to all digital platforms. “This release is going to be big — there’s so much more coming,” she says enthusiastically. The Beat Goes On Authentic, bold, and driven by her passion for creating new connections through music, Marcela Biondo  represents a new generation of artists who don’t follow trends — they create their own. Between beats and borders, she proves that true revolution happens when the sound is as free as the one who creates it. Full interview below From Ibitinga to Washington: how was this journey until you found your place in the American music scene? Leaving Ibitinga and arriving in Washington was a journey filled with dedication, persistence, and love for music. When I first came to the United States, I knew it wouldn’t be easy — but I also knew Brazilian funk had something truly unique to offer. Being a Brazilian woman made things even more challenging, but I started playing at small events, bringing the Brazilian beat to people and gradually winning them over. Today, seeing the American audience connect with funk music is one of the greatest rewards of my career — it proves that when music is real, it transcends all borders. Did you expect Brazilian funk to be so well received abroad? Honestly, I believed in funk’s potential, but the way the American audience has embraced it exceeded my expectations. Funk carries a contagious energy and a powerful identity — it’s impossible to stand still. I think people connect with the rhythm, even if they don’t understand the lyrics. That shows how music is a universal language, and funk has everything it takes to claim an important place on the international stage. The title “The Brazilian DJ” truly reflects your identity. How do you see your role in bringing the funk culture to the United States and introducing this beat to a new audience? “The Brazilian DJ” is a way to represent not only my journey but also the energy and originality of Brazilian culture. Funk is more than just a rhythm — it’s a social expression, a language born in the favelas that has reached the world. My goal in the United States is to showcase that power by blending the funk beat with different local styles and sounds, building cultural bridges and showing that Brazilian music holds a unique place in the global scene. Your new release, I LOVE FAVELA , has been gaining attention for celebrating funk in an authentic and global way. How did this project come to life, and what does it represent to you? The I LOVE FAVELA project was born from my desire to honor the origins of funk and show the world all the strength, joy, and creativity that come from the communities. I’ve always believed that funk is much more than a rhythm — it’s a form of expression, of resistance, and of pride. With this release, I wanted to blend the authenticity of the favela beats with a modern and international touch, proving that our culture has global potential. For me, I LOVE FAVELA represents love, identity, and the celebration of who we are. The single features major collaborations. Can you tell us a bit about these partnerships and what the audience can expect from this union of talents? Yes! This single brings together artists I deeply admire. Each of them contributed their own energy and background, making the final result even more authentic. The idea was to create a true fusion of talents — to show that when we come together, the sound gets stronger and the message travels further. This track is full of identity, rhythm, and truth. The song was written by Tállia (@eutallia_), one of the biggest funk composers in Brazil, who has penned several hits such as Bota um Funk (Pedro Sampaio) and Aí Papai (Anitta), among other major successes. Performing on the track, we have MC Lone (@mclone_), who already has over 3 million listeners on Spotify — the result of hard work and dedication. His style aligns with the baile funk and funk ostentação scene, with upbeat rhythms, party lyrics, and a strong connection to the energy of Brazil’s peripheral territories — staying true to the essence of the genre. We also feature Gabby B (@gabbyb_music), a pop artist currently based in Miami, FL. She speaks three languages and sings in four — English, Portuguese, French, and Spanish. Gabby blends pop, Latin rhythms, Brazilian baile funk, and reggaetón, creating a sound that transcends borders. The single’s cover art was designed by João Lucas (@jcaslu), a talented illustrator from Rio de Janeiro, who perfectly captured the song’s vibrant essence in his artwork. All the campaign visuals and release strategy were developed by Alan Richard (@alanrichardz) — also from Rio — an expert in Strategic Design, Visual Identity, and Digital Launches, with over 1,000 students in his courses. The track’s production was created by DJ Marcela Biondo herself, in collaboration with Lyric Lab (mylyriclab). Throughout your years in the United States, you’ve performed in different states and at events of various styles. Which moment do you consider the most memorable in your career so far? I believe one of the most memorable moments of my career was a show in New York — a full house, high energy, and that surreal feeling of being on the same stage where so many great artists have performed before! What’s next for DJ Marcela Biondo? Are there new projects, collaborations, or international tours on the horizon following the release of I LOVE FAVELA ? There are so many projects and releases on the way! Our next drop will be a collaboration with DJ GG and singer-songwriter Sérgio Antonini — FEZ 18 will soon hit all digital platforms! Stay tuned, because this release is going to be huge!

'STARS' COVER EDITION - GLOBAL ISSUE Photo: @demmacedo / Video: @olivervideomaker_ / Beauty: @dariobion / Styling: @eduardomurari @diegobbueno / Assistant: @eubillieb / Studio: @nasulstudio / Support: @sparapane_costumes There are artists who perform. And there are artists who overflow. Ismeiow — a persona created by Ismael, born in Anápolis, Goiás (Brazil) — belongs to the latter category. Before becoming a recognized name on the internet, he was the boy who dared to sew his first stitches on his mother’s machine. As a child, he painted faces at parties and celebrations, saving every penny as if collecting possibilities. “I’ve always felt that something greater was on its way,” he recalls. He found his purpose early: at 16, he launched his first channel, where he talked about makeup, sewing, and customization. It was less about teaching and more about freeing himself—and others. Over time, the audience realized that what unfolded on camera was more than technical skill; it was an entire world being created. What began modestly has grown into a community of around 7 million followers and collaborations with major brands such as Disney, Opera, EBAC, and others. Ismeiow wasn’t born overnight. She was shaped in the friction between desire and courage. We had the opportunity to sit down with Ismael and get a glimpse into the mind behind the brilliance that overflows. Come with us. 1. Ismeiow is born from the meeting of art, identity, and performance. When you transform yourself, what changes first — the way you see yourself or the way the world sees you? “When I transform into Ismeiow, the first thing that changes is the way I see myself. Before the world sees me differently, I’m already seeing myself in a new light. It’s as if I turn on a lamp that was always there — only now it’s brighter, more colorful, freer. After that, the world has no choice but to see it too.” 2. Halloween is a poetic license to create other realities. What was the most challenging character or concept you’ve ever brought to life, and what did it reveal about you? “Yzma, without a doubt, was a personal challenge. On the day of Sephora’s Ball, I also had a runway show at São Paulo Fashion Week to attend. I got caught in the rain, ran in heels, got into a stranger’s car, lost my phone — all of that while painted purple — and still made it to the event. Yzma showed me, even if indirectly, that I’m capable of doing anything I set my mind to.” 3. You don’t just create — you enable creation. Founding Ismeiow Vídeo in 2022 was an ambitious move. What’s the biggest myth about being a content creator in Brazil that you’d like to break? “Founding Ismeiow Vídeo was about autonomy — creating my own destiny. I was blessed with an incredible team of editors, and that’s where Ismeiow Vídeo came from. Since then, we’ve edited thousands of videos for every platform — from YouTube to streaming services. The biggest myth about being a creator that I’d like to break? Honestly, none. I just want to keep working and doing what I love. The more disruptive part — I’ll leave that to my fellow creators.” 4. Drag aesthetics demand courage and self-control — from the brush to the stage. Do you have any kind of ritual before transforming into Ismeiow? “I’m not sure I’d call it a ritual, but I always shave my eyebrows and then take a long shower right after. It helps me relax.” 5. If you could leave a message for young artists who have talent but haven’t yet found the courage to put themselves out there, what would be your most radical truth? “No one is going to give you permission to be who you are. Waiting for courage is waiting too long. Do it scared, do it shaking, do it wrong — because art isn’t born from perfection, it’s born from trying. If you feel the urge, that’s already the beginning.” 6. And finally: what is your voice? What would you like to shout to the world if you had the chance? “My voice is a reminder that the improbable can also be beautiful. There’s no right way to exist — there’s only your way. And in my case, it shines, wears a wig, and sometimes scares people a little.”

Photos Disclosure Press The Brazilian designer Charles Hermann , creative director of Victoria Alta Costura , has been drawing international attention after a fashion coincidence  that stirred the global fashion scene. Less than ten days separated Chanel’s show in Paris and Hermann’s presentation in Milan — and both revealed strikingly similar aesthetic proposals. The parallels were impossible to ignore: fluid silhouettes, luxurious fabrics, precision tailoring, and a refined, understated color palette. These elements are deeply embedded in the DNA of both the French maison and the Brazilian brand, which continues to rise as one of the most promising names in haute couture. Hermann, who began his journey in Bahia and now leads Victoria Alta Costura , is known for blending artisanal sophistication, environmental consciousness, and an architectural vision in his creations. His name is already catching international attention and becoming a favorite on red carpets abroad. His collection in Milan reinforced these pillars, featuring upcycled materials and highly intricate couture techniques. When asked about the resemblance to Chanel, the designer responded with grace: “I took it positively, because I saw it as a match of ideas — two creative minds shining,” he said. The show in Milan solidified Charles Hermann’s  name on the international circuit and reinforced the strength of Brazilian fashion, proving that the country can stand on equal footing with the world’s greatest fashion houses — and do so with authenticity, technique, and purpose.

The fashion world bids farewell to one of its most defining chapters. Olivier Rousteing — the prodigy who took over as creative director of Balmain at just 25 — has officially announced his departure from the French maison, closing a remarkable 14-year tenure that reshaped what it means to be a luxury brand in the modern age. Photo: Francesca Beltran - Disclosure Balmain More than a designer, Rousteing became a cultural force. When he joined Balmain in 2011, the house carried the weight of its legacy but lacked contemporary relevance. The young creative — one of the few Black designers to ever helm a major Parisian label — reinvented its classical DNA into a bold new language: one that fused high fashion with pop culture, diversity, and digital visibility. “I’m deeply proud of all that we accomplished together, and immensely grateful to the exceptional team who made this journey so special. I will carry this precious time in my heart as I look toward the future,” Rousteing shared in his official statement. Under his leadership, Balmain reemerged as a global symbol of power, glamour, and modern opulence. He revived the house’s haute couture line after more than a decade of absence and built what became known as the “Balmain Army” — a movement uniting celebrities, influencers, and fans under one unmistakable aesthetic of sculptural silhouettes, sharp shoulders, and unapologetic confidence. Rousteing’s impact went far beyond design. He understood the power of storytelling in the digital era before any of his contemporaries, transforming backstage moments into content and inviting the public into the inner world of fashion. “He redefined the boundaries of style and inspired a generation with his audacious creativity, unshakable authenticity, and commitment to inclusion,” said Balmain’s parent company, Mayhoola for Investments, in an official note. As with every great story, this one now turns a page. After more than a decade at the helm, Rousteing leaves behind an undeniable legacy — and an equally daunting challenge for whoever takes his place. Balmain enters a period of transition: balancing the commercial and cultural power built under Rousteing with a renewed focus on the timeless elegance of founder Pierre Balmain, without losing the modern energy that made it relevant again. For Rousteing, the next chapter is wide open. Some expect him to launch his own venture; others predict a move toward the entertainment world — a space he has always navigated effortlessly. Whatever direction he takes, his name already stands among fashion’s greats, not only for his creative brilliance but for his courage to transform a historic house into a symbol of diversity, glamour, and contemporary identity. Olivier Rousteing’s departure from Balmain is more than a change in leadership — it’s the close of an era that redefined luxury itself. He brought fashion into the age of digital storytelling, made inclusion a global conversation, and proved that couture could have both heart and humanity. Now, Paris waits to see: who will write the next chapter of Balmain’s story?

Dua Lipa never stands still. After redefining contemporary pop and conquering the fashion world with her futuristic yet sophisticated aesthetic, the British artist now takes a new step — this time, into the world of skincare. In partnership with the luxury beauty house Augustinus Bader , renowned for its cutting-edge science and revolutionary formulas, Dua has launched her own skincare line: DUA . Photos Disclosure by Augustinus Bader Three products, one purpose — to translate the fast pace of modern life into a simple, effective, and luxurious routine. “I wanted to create something that could really restore and protect my skin,” Dua shares. “My routine has to work between flights, rehearsals, and studio sessions. It’s about practicality, but also about feeling good in your own skin.” The fusion of science and simplicity Photo Disclosure by Augustinus Bader The DUA by Augustinus Bader  line features three essentials: the Balancing Cream Cleanser , a creamy face wash that removes impurities without drying; the Supercharged Glow Complex , a vitamin-rich serum infused with marine bio-retinol; and the Renewal Cream , a moisturizer designed to balance and bring back the skin’s natural bounce. All three formulas use the exclusive TFC5™  technology — a lighter, more accessible version of the brand’s famous TFC8® complex, which has made Augustinus Bader one of the most respected names in scientific skincare. “I’ve always been such a fan of Augustinus Bader,” Dua says. “I’ve always admired how much research goes into every product they create, and I knew I could trust them with this.” Photo Disclosure by Augustinus Bader Beyond visible results, the line embodies Dua’s own values: vegan, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and silicone-free  — designed for a new generation that wants efficiency, transparency, and ease. Skincare as an expression of identity More than a beauty line, DUA  is a reflection of the woman behind it — intense, curious, and always on the move. “From the outside looking in, I’m touring, traveling, doing all the things. But my skin still has to feel like I didn’t just survive another long-haul flight,” she says with a laugh. Photo Disclosure by Augustinus Bader The brand’s aesthetic mirrors that idea — minimalist, elegant, and urban — blending scientific luxury with effortless modernity. “I wanted something that anyone could use,” Dua explains. “A three-step routine feels manageable, not intimidating. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s everything I need to set me up for the day.” Accessible luxury While Augustinus Bader is known for its ultra-premium products, DUA  comes at a more accessible price point — ranging from $40 to $85 USD . The goal: to democratize high-performance skincare science without compromising on quality. That strategy connects directly with Dua’s audience — a generation that values authenticity, innovation, and purpose. Unlike many celebrity collaborations, this one is deeply personal. Dua was involved in testing, development, and creative direction, ensuring that each detail reflected her own lifestyle. Redefining beauty and authenticity DUA by Augustinus Bader  is more than a celebrity brand — it’s a statement of authenticity and self-care. Dua Lipa embodies the essence of modern beauty: real, adaptable, and uncomplicated. “I didn’t want to create something just to look pretty on a bathroom shelf,” she says. “I wanted something that makes a difference — something truly useful for people living busy lives like mine. For me, skincare is a way to stay calm in the chaos — a small moment of presence.” With this debut, Dua Lipa not only expands her creative empire but also redefines what beauty means in the 21st century. Science, simplicity, and self-expression converge under one signature: DUA  — a modern, conscious, and truly authentic approach to skincare.

The sister location of H&H Beverly Hills and Downtown LA is designed by visionary entrepreneurs Herica and Henrique Huyer, who promises to deliver the traditional “Churrasco Gaúcho” from Brazil Photos Disclosure Press H&H Brazilian Steakhouse, a modern, independently owned churrascaria concept, announced the opening of its third United States location and its first on the East Coast. The new restaurant, located in Kissimmee, Florida, is set to officially welcome guests on November 6, 2025, marking the company’s first expansion outside of California and bringing a new luxury dining option to the heart of Central Florida’s entertainment district. The Orlando-area unit will follow the successful model established at its two existing California locations, which are situated in Downtown Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. H&H, founded in 2019 by restaurateur and sommelier Henrique Huyer, has been recognized in Los Angeles for its authentic churrasco experience delivered in a luxurious, boutique setting. The new location, situated just minutes from major theme parks, is positioned to serve both the vast Central Florida visitor market and the growing local community. The Brazilian steakhouse segment in the U.S. continues to show strong performance, driven by consumer demand for experiential dining. The all-you-can-eat format and continuous tableside service create an interactive atmosphere that has found popularity with a broad demographic. This success is particularly notable in the competitive Los Angeles market, where food critics have recognized H&H and has built a dedicated following among Hollywood celebrities, establishing the brand as a premier destination for luxury Brazilian dining. This reputation for quality and distinction is what the brand aims to replicate for the Central Florida community. Photo Disclosure Press H&H's service model combines the traditional “All You Can Eat” Churrasco Experience – featuring continuous tableside service of 100% Halal beef, lamb, and chicken – with an extensive "Farm Table" of hot and cold dishes. Additionally, the menu will offer upscale à la carte options, including the exclusive A5 Miyazaki Wagyu and Truffle Filet Mignon, alongside a full menu for Lunch, Dinner, and Bottomless Mimosa Brunch. The company is owned by the visionary leaders Hérica and Henrique Huyer, both from the south of Brazil and committed to expand the traditional churrasco worldwide. “The response in Los Angeles has been outstanding, and we are eager to bring our distinct interpretation of modern Brazilian dining to the East Coast,” says Henrique Huyer.  Herica Huyer added, “Our commitment to using the highest-quality ingredients and providing authentic Brazilian hospitality will define our presence in Central Florida. We look forward to welcoming the community and providing an unparalleled dining experience.” The new H&H Steakhouse is located at 3250 Rolling Oaks Blvd, Kissimmee, FL 34747, and will be open to the public beginning November 6, 2025.

Ferrari Hub solidifies the Brazilian presence at Paris Fashion Week, integrating technical expertise, behind-the-scenes experiences, and national brands in a project that translates culture, method, and repertoire into the international fashion scene. Cris Ferrari and Marina Spíndola / Photo / Courtesy of Ferrari Hub Talent Model In the global fashion landscape, presence is not just visibility — it’s language. Ferrari Hub, led by Cris Ferrari and joined by Quézia Rodrigues Vieira, positions Brazil at Paris Fashion Week through a gesture that goes beyond the runway, affirming cultural repertoire, methodology, and influence within the capital that defines global standards. Runway.Vision , the international platform that turned Le Space Cléry into a convergence point for emerging cultural agents, became the stage for this experience. More than a fashion show, it represented movement. The runway opened space for authenticity and diversity, reinforcing fashion’s role as a reflection of culture, identity, and transformation. Seven Brazilian brands took part in this edition — among them Nalimo, Fabiana Thorres, Marcelo Zantti, and Al Mare — reaffirming Brazil’s creative potential on the international stage. Behind the scenes, the atmosphere was vibrant, with professionals from beauty, design, and communication working in harmony to translate a new vision of fashion. The aesthetic direction by Cris Dios (Grupo Laces) reinforced the concept of Clean Beauty: light, conscious, and future-aligned fashion. Ferrari Hub went beyond the runway. The project provided Brazilian models with a full immersion in backstage dynamics and technical exercises, understanding the rigor of haute couture production. “Being in Paris during Fashion Week is not just about attending an event — it’s about witnessing paths built with discipline,” says Cris Ferrari. The institutional action transformed the trip into a pedagogical method: Paris as a laboratory, not just a showcase. Cris Ferrari / Photo / Courtesy of Ferrari Hub Talent Model The technical experience included a visit to Ateliê Sara, the couture house behind pieces worn by Beyoncé and Adele. Exposure to haute couture processes — from meticulous handcrafting to time management — revealed the discipline and precision that structure the international fashion market. Quézia Rodrigues Vieira adds, “Backstage work reveals the silent discipline of those who sustain the scene before it exists,” shifting the perception of fashion from mere performance to craftsmanship. The project also integrated three Brazilian brands into the European fashion landscape: Drops de Menta , presenting a summer collection that embodies contemporary lightness; Doppi , balancing gaucho tradition with modern design; and Vício Fatal , which brought family heritage and authenticity to Paris. The brands’ presence was not about promotion — it was an extension of Ferrari Hub’s creative and strategic repertoire. As an institutional development, the ABM — Brazilian Modeling Academy  was founded, translating the international experience into a structured training methodology in Brazil. The ABM does not replicate Paris — it establishes standards and criteria, consolidating repertoire and technique as the foundation of both national and international practice. Ferrari Hub’s presence in Paris marks a new axis of recognition: it shifts the perception of Brazil within the global fashion circuit, proving that institutional presence, technical rigor, and cultural repertoire can function as a true language of fashion. The French capital did not merely reward visibility — it validated competence, methodology, and creative structure, which now return to Brazil as a lasting practice.

Dubai, 2025 — At a time when brands compete for attention and global relevance, legacy strategist Alê Vazz  took the stage at Dubai Connect  — a gathering that brought together Brazilian entrepreneurs in one of the world’s leading innovation hubs — to share a powerful message: success without legacy is an achievement with an expiration date. Photos Disclosure Press In his talk, “Building Legacy and Brand Strategy for International Business Expansion,”  Alê demonstrated how to practically align purpose, positioning, and global growth to create brands that transcend both borders and time. Born in the interior of Minas Gerais and based in London for over eight years, the strategist brings 15 years of experience in communication and brand strategy , with projects across Europe and Latin America. Today, he is recognized for helping CEOs and founders move beyond short-term gains to build lasting significance—without sacrificing authenticity while scaling. “In Dubai, it becomes clear: the future is not democratic — it arrives first to those who think big. The challenge for Brazilian entrepreneurs is not just to grow, but to remain relevant when the landscape changes,” he challenged. The problem no one talks about Leaders who have already achieved significant results face a silent risk: obsolescence. Not due to a lack of profit, but due to a lack of meaning. Brands that fail to encode their values, culture, and vision into a replicable system lose relevance — and memory — when the context shifts. The solution: Legacy Strategy Using his proprietary method, Legacy Strategy , Alê connects: Founder identity and personal purpose Brand strategy focused on positioning and differentiation Organizational culture that endures cycles Internationalization roadmap with cultural sensitivity The result is organizations that perform today and remain relevant tomorrow. “Internationalization is not just about entering new markets; it’s about translating your essence into any language without losing your voice,” he explains. Why Now Global markets are more accessible — and more crowded Consumers value clear and consistent narratives Valuation and brand perception increase when a legacy is intentionally built Alê’s participation at Dubai Connect  solidified his position as one of the most influential Brazilian voices in business legacy and international positioning, connecting London, Dubai, and leaders who do not just want to grow — they want to endure. “Success opens doors; legacy builds bridges,” he concludes. About Alê Vazz Based in London, Alê Vazz  is a Legacy Strategist who helps CEOs, entrepreneurs, and brands turn success into lasting significance through clear positioning, replicable culture, and authentic international expansion.

From Barbarella to Mystique, the Kardashian-Jenner sisters turn Halloween into a fashion event — proving that creativity is the most powerful accessory of the season. When October arrives, Halloween takes on a couture twist in the hands of the world’s most influential sisters. Kim, Kylie, and Kendall Kardashian-Jenner don’t just wear costumes — they become characters. Each year, they transform the spooky season into a true fashion spectacle, blending pop culture, fantasy, and high style in a way only they can. Kylie Jenner is known for her cinematic transformations: she has embodied Barbarella, the Bride of Frankenstein, and even reinvented pop culture icons with her own glamorous spin. Every look is a production — complete with makeup, set design, and storytelling — that could easily be mistaken for a film still. Kendall Jenner, on the other hand, embraces humor and elegance in equal measure. From her sexy take on Jessie from Toy Story to her futuristic Mars Attacks alien, Kendall proves that Halloween can be playful without losing its sophistication. And when it comes to full transformation, Kim Kardashian is the undisputed master. The entrepreneur and fashion icon has pushed boundaries year after year — from her detailed Mystique costume inspired by X-Men to the jaw-dropping albino crocodile she portrayed in 2024. Each of Kim’s looks feels less like a costume and more like a living work of art. ⸻ GET INSPIRED: What makes the Kardashians’ Halloween moments stand out isn’t just luxury — it’s creativity. Each sister channels her own personality, reimagines her references, and turns her vision into something memorable. This Halloween, think like a Kardashian: be bold, imaginative, and true to your own aesthetic. Mix cinematic references, music icons, or even art movements with elements that reflect your personal style. A well-thought-out costume — even a simple one — can have red carpet impact if it carries confidence and attitude. After all, Halloween is just the stage. The real magic lies in how you choose to reinvent yourself for one night — and in that art form, the Kardashians remain the ultimate inspiration.
