I love the way we get so attached to these patterns and we associate them with Chanel, they’re so timeless and iconic.” The 2023 Coco Neige collection is not just fashion; it's an experience. Drawing inspiration from fearless skiers and graceful dancers alike, the line incorporates highly technical elements into stylish pieces.

  • Vivi Di Domenico: From Small Town to International Covers

    'MODEL' COVER EDITION - OCTOBER ISSUE Photos: Diego Cadavid - @cadavidmora Design Director Hooks: Matheus Lopes - @mathlopes Editor-In-Chief: Matheus Hooks - @directorhooks Get ready for an explosion of style and elegance, as the long-awaited 'MODEL' edition of Hooks Magazine has arrived, and the model gracing our cover is the incredible Vivi Di Domenico . With her magnetic beauty and captivating presence, Vivi brings international fashion to a more personal level in an exclusive interview. Born in the picturesque Santo Antônio do Sudoeste, Paraná (BR), Vivi Di Domenico is a living inspiration for those who dream big. Her remarkable journey began when she was only 12 years old, as a modeling agency discovered her in school and invited her to enter the world of fashion in New York. However, young Vivi chose to wait until she turned 15 before embarking on this exciting adventure in the world of modeling. After this brave decision, Vivi honed her skills in Curitiba, where she also completed her studies. The city not only served as her training ground but also as a place for personal growth, shaping her into a mature woman beyond her years. Now, with an international career in full swing, Vivi Di Domenico shares her experiences, adventures, and reflections in the 'MODEL' edition of Hooks Magazine. Additionally, in an interview, you will discover her current plans, including her dedication to improving her acting skills and her projects in the United States. Check out the exclusive interview: 1. How did you deal with the move to New York from a small town in Paraná? Initially, my family resisted the idea of me leaving Brazil. I started in Curitiba, completing my studies over 5 years, where I learned to live and fend for myself, maturing prematurely as a person. 2. About your time in Santiago, Chile. How did this experience impact your career and personal life? I learned about responsibilities, managing my schedule, and interacting with people from different cultures, preparing me to work in another country. It made me feel more prepared and confident. 3. How did your experiences in São Paulo shape your professional and artistic journey? These experiences opened doors to international contracts, including acting, which always benefits my work as a model. All experiences are valuable and contribute to my growth. 4. Tell us about your transition back to the international scene. What challenges did you face? Moving to another country is always challenging; from cultural differences to natural phenomena. Each place has its peculiarities, and I faced earthquakes in Chile, hurricanes in the USA, heat in Dubai, and cold in London. 5. How have your multicultural experiences influenced your perspective and work? Living in different places has made me appreciate the little things and realize how fortunate we are in Brazil. Brazilian culture is warmly embraced everywhere, and that's something I'm proud of. Such experiences enrich any profession. 6. Tell us about your current projects and how you balance acting, modeling, and your personal interests. Currently, I'm studying to lose my Brazilian accent and pursue acting in Mexico. Additionally, I have projects in the United States. Whenever I travel for work, I take the opportunity to explore new places. Traveling is my only "addiction" and a passion that I also balance with my work in acting and modeling.

  • Dainara Pariz: The Influencer Who Shines in Fashion and Solidarity

    'STARS' COVER EDITION - GLOBAL ISSUE Photos: Lucas Kiaw - ( @photoskiaw ) Production: Kley Carvalho - ( @kleeycarvalho ) Make: Gleyci Sassi - ( @gleycisassi ) Hair: Grego - ( @ogrego027 ) Design Director Hooks: Matheus Lopes - ( @mathlopes ) Editor-In-Chief Hooks: Matheus Hooks - ( @directorhooks ) Public Relations Hooks: Junior Hayres - ( @junior.hayres ) Welcome to the "STARS" edition of Hooks International Magazine , where we explore inspiring stories and personalities that shine with their own light. In this edition, we bring you a story that transcends the world of fashion, a journey of resilience and dedication that has turned into a life mission. Let's delve into the incredible universe of Dainara Pariz , a true fashion influencer who has taken the fashion scene by storm. With over 4 million followers on social media, she is a top model who stands out in the fashion world. But Dainara's story goes far beyond that. Since childhood, she has faced Bell's Palsy , a condition that temporarily affects the movements of half of the face. She has overcome this challenge three times, but instead of hiding, she chose to use her fame to raise awareness about this condition. Dedicated to making a difference, Dainara founded a non-profit organization that provides free treatment to people suffering from the same condition. With the help of Dr. William Ortega , they offer treatment and hope to many. And it doesn't stop there! Dainara is also an ambassador for Kylie Cosmetics , the brand of Kylie Jenner , one of the most well-known celebrities in the world. It's a partnership that beautifully combines fashion and makeup. Furthermore, Dainara is a mother to the little Kai and has chosen to raise her child in the countryside of Espírito Santo(Brazil), away from the hustle and bustle of social media, to provide a peaceful and authentic childhood. Dainara Pariz is an inspiration, showing that fashion and solidarity can go hand in hand with style and elegance. Check out the interview we conducted with Dainara Pariz for Hooks International Magazine: 1. Your journey as a model and influencer has led you to collaborate with renowned international brands. How would you describe your personal approach to fashion, and what sets you apart on the international stage? My journey in the fashion world began with a trip to Los Angeles , where I encountered a massive line outside the Supreme store. I must admit that at the time, I found the situation amusing, and I didn't initially understand why so many people were there. I asked some friends and discovered they were waiting for the release of a special collection, the famous "drop." Upon my return to Brazil, I became curious and started researching street culture, which led me into the world of collectible sneakers. Initially, I bought some common models, but I eventually fell in love with rare sneakers. Furthermore, my ex-boyfriend and I were big fans of Japanese culture, so we began collecting art pieces by Murakami and even ventured into NFTs . Our son is named Kai , and at the beginning, we nicknamed him KaiKai KiKi , which is a reference to Takashi's famous "happy flower." We even took photos of him as a newborn with our adorable stuffed animals. Additionally, I'm a huge fan of punk rock and gothic brands like Chrome Hearts , Rick Owens , and Vivienne Westwood , resulting in a street-style with a touch of high-end punk fashion. 2. How did you deal with Bell's Palsy since childhood, and what motivated you to share your experience on social media? The experience with facial paralysis was frightening for both me and my family. I suffered from it three times throughout my life, with the first occurrence happening unexpectedly during my childhood. From a young age, I had to learn to cope with hurtful comments and the aftereffects the condition left behind. However, when I faced it for the third time in 2019, I decided not to hide or lower my head. I chose to show that facial paralysis is more common than one might think, breaking down the barriers of fear and helplessness. It took a year for me to reconnect with myself, another year to forgive myself, and yet another year to understand that all was not lost. During that period, I participated in a series where my character had this condition, and I created videos for YouTube. On one occasion, I had to wear an eye patch due to a corneal abrasion caused by the paralysis, and I took the opportunity to draw an eye on top of it. This made people laugh, and at the same time, I was able to provide advice and help to many. We founded a non-profit organization that remains active, and we established partnerships with international beauty brands. Currently, even with the aftereffects of facial paralysis, I feel fulfilled and not as a victim but as an example of overcoming challenges. 3. In addition to raising awareness about Bell's Palsy, you also provide free treatment to followers who suffer from this condition. How did the idea of offering this assistance come about? The idea of creating a non-profit organization came about when I began receiving treatment from Dr. William Ortega. There were moments when I would cry and contemplate giving up, but Dr. William gave me the strength to persevere. The treatment took so long that at times, it felt like I was taking a course (laughs), but it was essential for my recovery. Today, my face has a new appearance thanks to him. As a result, many of my followers started sending me messages, sharing their stories of dealing with Bell's Palsy. Some of them had been suffering from the condition for over seven years with no improvement. We felt a moral obligation to help: Dr. William with his clinical expertise and me with my motivation. He is one of the most compassionate individuals I know, and we are deeply moved by each patient's progress, as if it were a ray of hope illuminating a previously dark life. Today, this initiative has evolved into a non-profit organization, in partnership with the Academy of Facial Aesthetics, and Dr. William has become specialized in Bell's Palsy treatment, even traveling to other countries to enhance his expertise. For those who may not know, when the face is paralyzed, one cannot cry, and my first tear after six months came when I learned that the treatment we offered had transformed the life of a hairdresser who had given up on himself, as well as transforming my own life. 4. Can you share more details about the expansion of your non-profit organization in Brazil and future plans to ensure that more people have access to Bell's Palsy treatment? We are planning to expand the non-profit organization, which is currently based in São Paulo, to cover the entire Brazil. However, we need partners since the treatment is costly and involves the use of botulinum toxin, and we bear those expenses. 5. As the ambassador for Kylie Cosmetics in Brazil, you are involved with one of the most influential beauty brands in the world. How has this partnership influenced your approach to fashion and beauty? Working with KylieCosmetics is a tremendous honor for me, as I'm a huge fan of the brand. It all began after my participation in a brand launch event in Brazil. Shortly thereafter, KylieCosmetics started following my Instagram profile, which led to an invitation for collaboration. Having the opportunity to work with a brand that values feminine beauty and allows me to be authentic is amazing. I've always preferred using makeup to enhance my natural features rather than hiding or altering them, and KylieCosmetics epitomizes this approach. 6. Being a mother and having a busy career, how do you find the time to ensure that your child has a balanced upbringing with minimal exposure on social media? I've always chosen not to expose my son too much. Currently, we've decided to create a peaceful environment for him in a small town in the countryside, where my parents live and serve as our primary support network. In this tranquil setting, we can enjoy a simple life in close contact with nature, including agriculture, mountains, waterfalls, and beaches. My son, Kai, lives like any other child, following a routine, spending most of his time at the playground, playing with a ball, and always going barefoot, connecting with the earth. My followers love to see him, and I do share some photos and stories on my social media. However, if he ever decides to maintain a more discreet profile in the future, I see no issue with that choice.

  • Shanghai Fashion Week: A Window to Chinese Fashion and Beyond

    Shanghai Fashion Week , which recently concluded after nine days of pure elegance and innovation, represents more than just a fashion event. It marks a new chapter in the narrative of Chinese fashion , a chapter that aims to internationalize its brands and designers, conquer new markets, and establish itself as a global influence in the world of fashion. A Celebration of Synergy Photo Promotion MARKGONG - Shanghai Fashion Week The theme of this edition, "Synergy," opened doors for a deep exploration of the connections between national and international fashion communities. What's more, it highlighted the meteoric rise of Chinese fashion on the global stage. A closer look reveals that local fashion is no longer in the shadow of European fashion; instead, it is poised to claim its spot on the global stage. Photo Le Fame SS24 - Shanghai Fashion Week Fashion Carnival: A Unique Experience Shanghai Fashion Week went beyond runways and fashion shows. It innovated by creating the "Fashion Carnival," a unique experience that transcended clothing and accessories. The general public was engaged in creative and exciting ways. Skateboarding lessons, art exhibitions, and live music performances took place in iconic locations in China's financial capital. This multidisciplinary approach transformed the event into a celebration of culture and style. Spotlight on New Talent and Neo-Chinese Style Labelhood, China's leading talent incubator, played a crucial role in showcasing emerging designers. Furthermore, the "neo-Chinese style" stood out, with brands celebrating the aesthetic inspired by traditional Chinese fashion. Local fashion now comes to life and is recognized for its authenticity and originality. Photo: Louis Shengtao Chen - SS24/ 'Orgasmic' Collection Highlights from the Summer 24 Edition Under the theme "Synergy," this edition focused on sustainability and the internationalization of Chinese brands. It began with a runway show by Icicle, the minimalist and environmentally conscious Chinese brand that shares a parent company with Carven. It concluded with a guest runway show by Stella McCartney . The event provided a platform for young talents like Mark Gong , Xu Zhi , Jacques Wei , and Louis Shengtao Chen , who brought a vibrant energy to the fashion week. Additionally, some established brands drew large crowds of celebrities, solidifying Shanghai Fashion Week as a key event in the industry. Photo: Shushu/Tong studio SS24 The internationalization of Chinese fashion The internationalization of Chinese fashion became evident with the presence of important international buyers such as H Lorenzo in the United States, Printemps in France, and Machine-A in the United Kingdom, as well as GlobalLink, one of the leading luxury retail players in Vietnam. This demonstrates that Chinese fashion is no longer confined to national borders but is making its mark on the global stage. However, the journey of Chinese fashion towards internationalization is not without challenges. Emerging designers face fierce competition, and limited budgets are a reality. As China opens up to foreign brands, local buyers now have more options, which can impact new brands. Nevertheless, this challenge is driving creativity and innovation, making Shanghai Fashion Week an essential launching pad for designers seeking global recognition. ------ More about the theme according to our Fashion Director, Matheus Hooks: The internationalization of Chinese fashion refers to the process through which Chinese fashion brands, designers, and styles expand their presence and influence beyond China's borders and into the global fashion market. This involves showcasing Chinese fashion at international events, collaborating with international designers and retailers, and targeting consumers worldwide. In recent years, Chinese fashion has been gaining prominence on the global stage. The internationalization of Chinese fashion is driven by several factors: Growing Consumer Market: China has a vast and increasingly affluent consumer market. This provides Chinese fashion brands with the resources and demand to expand globally. Government Support: The Chinese government has encouraged the development of the fashion industry and the expansion of Chinese brands on the global stage through various initiatives and policies. Innovative Design: Chinese designers are gaining recognition for their innovative designs that blend traditional Chinese elements with modern, global fashion trends. E-commerce: Chinese e-commerce platforms, such as Alibaba and JD.com, provide a global reach for Chinese fashion brands to reach international customers. Fashion Weeks: Events like Shanghai Fashion Week have grown in importance, attracting international attention and buyers. However, the internationalization of Chinese fashion also presents challenges, such as competition with established global brands, navigating international market dynamics, and building brand recognition outside of China.

  • The Tote Bag Trend: Style and Utility in One

    In recent months, a particular style of handbag has been making waves in the fashion world – the "Tote Bag." This trend has garnered attention and is often associated with the resurgence of maxi bags, a topic we recently discussed. Tote bags have become highly sought-after, and their appeal lies in their practicality and versatility for everyday use. Photo of the cover of the article: Jil Sander Pre-Fall 2019 Womenswear Collection – Milan One of the most famous iterations of the tote bag is the reusable "Eco Bag." These environmentally-conscious tote bags have gained popularity for their sustainability and style. They come in various designs, often featuring eco-friendly slogans and prints. Eco bags represent a chic way to contribute to environmental sustainability. Photo Hermès Summer 2024 Beyond eco-friendly totes, some other iconic tote bag models have also captured the limelight: 1. Canvas Classics: Marc Jacobs | East West Coated Canvas Leather Tote Canvas tote bags are a timeless favorite. They are durable, lightweight, and perfect for carrying essentials.

In practical terms, the return to a "normal" life, if we can call it that, has emphasized the need for utilitarian and durable accessories. Tote bags fit this bill perfectly. They are not just a fashion statement; they're a functional addition to your daily life. Furthermore, since tote bags are practical and classic, rather than mere momentary trends, they often represent the more affordable end of a brand's portfolio, making them an accessible entry point for those new to the world of luxury.

    Photos Promotion press In a world filled with stories of resilience and triumph, Petrus Peixoto's journey stands out as a true inspiration. His path is a unique blend of exceptional academic achievements, remarkable professional success, and an unwavering commitment to community service. What makes his story even more remarkable is how he transformed the challenges he faced in his childhood into a source of motivation and determination. Now, join Petrus as he shares his story with Hooks Magazine Business: My name is Petrus Peixoto. My academic background includes a bachelor's degree in International Relations from the University of Texas in Dallas and a master's degree in Finance from Florida International University. I sought to enhance my knowledge in Neuroscience through a workshop at the prestigious Stanford University and completed training courses in emotional intelligence with Harvard's Psychology of Emotional Intelligence. During my professional journey, I worked in a company focused on individuals with epilepsy, a condition I also faced as a child, providing me with a profound understanding of their needs and challenges. To further expand my knowledge in Neuroscience, I pursued a specialization through the Neuroleadership Association in California. Currently, I am pursuing a master's degree in neuroscience. I also have additional training in business from CATS College in London and achieved several oratory championships during my undergraduate studies at UTD (University of Texas, Dallas). From the ages of 10 to 18, I was a drum and baton athlete, securing significant titles at regional, national, and international levels. I became a 5-time national champion, a two-time North Northeast champion, and ranked 11th in the Oklahoma Poll Bending Open, remaining among the top 10 at the age of 16. I transitioned into becoming an investment analyst and financial education instructor at a Miami-based investment company. I earned certification from the State of Florida for Series 65 and was part of the 'Beyond the Court' project, which aimed to provide financial education to basketball athletes across the country. The project had a partnership with the Brazilian Basketball Confederation and was non-profit. Approximately three years ago, I discovered that I had ADHD and embarked on a mission this year to provide as much content as possible about living with ADHD for children and achieving success in their pursuits. I delivered presentations at the most prominent schools in the capital of Pernambuco, among others. In total, we reached over 3000 students, parents, and education professionals with enriching content about the disorder. Currently, I invest in the stock markets, both American and Brazilian, in the fields of horse racing and American aesthetic clinics. I come from a family of entrepreneurs. My father was also an outstanding athlete, playing basketball for years and earning a spot on the Brazilian national team. He became a prominent businessman in the logistics industry, being one of the largest clients of Ambev, and is currently the President of the Brazilian Basketball Association. My hardworking mother also became the greatest support for my father during his most challenging and darkest moments. She was my staunchest supporter in everything I aspired to do and remained a determined architect, even after giving birth to three children. My mother bestowed upon me the greatest gift I could ever ask for by connecting me to God, becoming a source of strength and hope amid numerous challenges. With perseverance and determination, I transformed my fears into motivation and overcame adversities. Today, I am a successful entrepreneur and an inspiring speaker, sharing my experiences and knowledge to assist others in tackling their own challenges.
