Photos disclosure Schiaparelli - promotion Internet Creative director Daniel Roseberry brings laughter, surrealism, and a dash of madness to the runway in his latest ready-to-wear collection for Schiaparelli at Paris Fashion Week. In 1927, Elsa Schiaparelli founded her maison and understood the power of humor. She weaved the threads of everyday life through the eye of creativity, crafting clothing that was both armor and art, ordinary yet extraordinary. Today, Daniel Roseberry carries on this legacy with reverence, infusing each collection with Schiaparelli's spirit, her whimsy, and her willingness to push boundaries. Roseberry's playground for this season was the Hôtel de Boisgelin, an Italian embassy on Paris's Rue de Varenne. Here, he set his creations in dialogue with the surroundings, creating a nod to Schiaparelli's heritage. Guests entered an equable world painted in 18th-century fashion, where Greco-Roman figures and the Commedia dell'Arte adorned the walls. Then, they met the inhabitants, dressed out of time, with raffia-embroidered collars that defied gravity and cream knitwear resembling hollow rib cages. Elsa Schiaparelli brought surrealism to life almost a century ago, and under Daniel Roseberry's guidance, the house of Schiaparelli continues to enchant the fashion world. Roseberry's reverence for Schiaparelli's madness shines through each collection, drawing new fans into her legacy. With Spring/Summer 2024, he carries forward this whimsical mission. The body remains a muse, with anatomical ribcages teasing knitted sets and eyes and ears making unexpected appearances. Roseberry pays homage to Schiaparelli's iconic lobster dress with lobster totems scattered throughout the collection. The bold use of blood orange further punctuates the surrealism. Towards the end, a masterpiece graces the runway. A canvas gown adorned with loose cigarettes, nail polish, jewels, and a zippo lighter tells a story of a bustling soiree. It's a testament to Roseberry's creative purity, prompting us to question why couture magic can't spill over into everyday life. In Daniel Roseberry's hands, Schiaparelli's legacy lives on, marrying humor, surrealism, and fashion in an unforgettable symphony of creativity.

The launch takes place on September 28th and features six pieces inspired by the natural landscapes of Northern California, where the jeans brand is headquartered and the region where the influencer spent her childhood. Credits: Disclosure. Since its founding in 1853, Levi's® has called Northern California home while creating some of the world's most iconic jeans and clothing pieces. The location also holds significance for influencer Emma Chamberlain, who spent much of her childhood in the picturesque landscapes of this region of the United States. Now, the Levi's® x Emma Chamberlain collection brings a versatile and nostalgic feel, inspired by the legendary sequoias of the area and the vast Pacific Ocean. Each look is also influenced by Emma's favorite thrift store finds. The launch features six limited pieces that pay homage to the influencer's carefree childhood before she became an internet icon and also celebrates nature. Earthy tones and a cozy style with a wood-like texture reminiscent of tree rings from sequoias are used throughout. Highlights of the collection include a vintage-inspired lined boxy jacket with a classic collar and a slightly cropped fit, a relaxed fit mockneck sweater with color-blocking, bell sleeves, and custom buttons for a natural aesthetic, and a sleeveless knitted top with a pine tree design. To complement the lower body style, the collection includes a faded blue-purple midi skirt with frayed waist and hem, loose-fitting red-orange pants with a slightly tapered leg, and of course, the traditional brown 501® Originals with over-dyeing and tree trunk and branch knot textures. What was the role of the Levi's® team in bringing your creative ideas to life for this collection, and how do you describe this experience? Emma Chamberlain: "The Levi's® team gave me a lot of flexibility and basically brought my ideas to life faithfully. It was such a magical experience". What were the main inspirations behind Emma Chamberlain's Levi's® collection, and what design principles did she emphasize to ensure the pieces had a timeless quality? Emma Chamberlain: "I would say this collection is nostalgic, inspired by outdoor life, and timeless. I was heavily influenced by the fact that the brand and I are from the San Francisco area, and I wanted to explore what makes Northern California so special. All the pieces also remind me of things I would be excited to find in a thrift store. I wanted them to have classic silhouettes that you could wear for the next ten years and never get tired of." Emma's extensive list of creative and business ventures includes hosting her podcast, Anything Goes, and designing new essentials for her coffee brand, Chamberlain Coffee. In addition to collaborating with Levi's® design team to develop the collection, Emma served as the creative director of the campaign, which was set against the diverse nature of Northern California. From the lush sequoia forest to the misty cliffs overlooking the Pacific, these stunning locations helped bring the project to life. "The creative process with Emma was super organic and exciting – she had a very strong and authentic viewpoint for her collection," says Karyn Hillman, Chief Product Officer at Levi Strauss & Co. "While honoring the unique natural landscapes of Northern California, a shared home for Levi's® and Emma, the pieces carry warmth and casualness with a very authentic signature. It's been a joy to work alongside Emma and see such a beautiful collection and campaign come to life," she concludes.

Promotional Photos Writer Mirian Carter, a former participant on the show "A Grande Conquista," launched a children's book based on her own life at the last Biennial, which took place at Riocentro in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro. "Mirna and her Corn Doll" tells the story of a very humble, simple, and shy little girl who lived in the countryside with her parents and sisters. Mirian wants to show that, despite the character never receiving a single toy, she was happy. "I had this project of my childhood story in my mind for a long time. I found it incredible how, as a child, I could dream in such a vivid way, even during that time of financial scarcity. I say that for me and my sisters, flip-flops were a luxury, let alone shoes. I took this story, where I grew up without access to toys, and I decided to transform it in a different way and leave a legacy for my grandchildren in the future when I have them. Today, I see that children are growing up wanting more and more technology and becoming addicted to computers," said Mirian, adding: "Basically, the book addresses the opposite, which is a child who had nothing but was extremely happy. Nature was enchanting for her, animals were her best friends, she talked to the animals, baths were taken in the river. What could be more beautiful in such an innocent and pure little story? The starry skies were like going to the movies, the full moon was a special day. So, I wanted to show children that there is another side of life, which is the magical side of nature. I really wish today that parents would go on retreats with their children, that music would be the crickets' song, and show them that respecting animals is important." Her connection with animals is so strong that Mirian shared she suffers daily when eating meat. "Today, I have an internal struggle not to eat meat, not because I think it's wrong, but because the animals were such good friends to me that when I'm eating meat, I remember them. I eat it, but I feel like a traitor," she said. According to the writer, the most important thing about this book was to portray the enchanting side of a child who had no access to toys or technology but created a magical world. "It was one of the best moments of my life to have grown up in the countryside, where my father wasn't the owner but rather a cattle herder. There was life, peace, such great joy in my heart, and I decided to put it all down on paper. I hope that children see this story as a source of learning."

"MODEL" COVER EDITION - SEPTEMBER ISSUE Photos: Pupin + Deleu - @pupindeleu Model: Thainara Alves - @tay_alvess5 Marketing and Design Director: Matheus Lopes - @mathlopes Editor-in-Chief: Matheus Hooks - @directorhooks On the cover of the September edition of Hooks Magazine's "Model" issue, we have the honor of presenting the stunning Thainara Alves , an international model born in São Paulo, Brazil, who has conquered the world of fashion with her unique beauty and a truly inspiring approach. Thainara Alves is a model who took a different path compared to most models. She not only found success outside of Brazil but also captivated the world with her presence on runways and in fashion editorials. Her journey to success is a testament to her determination, talent, and passion for fashion. Her exclusive photos on the cover of Hooks Magazine capture the essence of Thainara's Latin beauty, which shines unmistakably. Away from the cameras and runways, Thainara Alves leads a purpose-driven life dedicated to supporting social projects. Her passion for making a difference in people's lives is equally inspiring. She uses her platform and visibility to create positive impact in causes that are important to her, demonstrating that beauty goes far beyond outward appearance. Check out an Exclusive Interview with the Model: 1. Thainara, how did you decide to venture into the international fashion market instead of following the more common path in Brazil? It was quite accidental, actually. At the beginning, I pursued the more natural path of building a career in Brazil. But soon, I received an offer to work abroad. I was taken aback and initially thought it might not be real, but I believe it was the path meant for me, and everything has been going remarkably well since then. 2. Your photographs are praised for capturing a unique Brazilian beauty. What do you believe makes Brazilian beauty so special, and how do you incorporate it into your work? As a tropical country with natural beauty, Brazilian women couldn't escape that. Carefully sculpted bodies with the typical Brazilian tan and expressions with unique features. They're the "famous Brazilians" (laughs). In photographs, I always aim to express that naturalness, translating it into unique expressions that showcase the beauty of Brazilian women. 3. In addition to your modeling career, you also dedicate yourself to social projects. Could you share a bit about these projects and why they are important to you? I've always enjoyed helping people, but I didn't know how or where to do it. So, in the past year, I made an effort to focus more on specific causes. Today, I support two projects: " Growing with Health ," a project that recently emerged in the state of SC and aims to help children develop in sports; and " Vencer Institute " in SP, which brings jiu-jitsu to communities. Additionally, I'm involved in the social initiative " For the Community ," which aims to provide food and clothing to communities in SC and now SP. 4. How do you find a balance between your international modeling career and your commitment to social projects? Is it challenging to juggle both? Whenever I take on any responsibility in my life, I assess whether I'll be able to fulfill it. Since I'm constantly traveling outside of Brazil, I know I can't be 100% present, so I have someone who helps me manage these projects. When I return to Brazil, I can be much more involved and present in them. 5. You mentioned that you captivate with every click. What are your main inspirations and influences in fashion and photography? I've always understood that photography is an art, and with every click, I aim to express the beauty to the fullest. It's as if that photo were crafted by a great artist on an inspired day. Who knows, maybe my photo becomes the next artistic inspiration (laughs). I love my work! 6. What advice would you give to young Brazilian models who aspire to follow in your footsteps and achieve international success in the fashion industry? Practice expressions, immerse yourself in photos. This makes a significant difference in the international market.

PHOTOS COURTESY SAINT LAURENT - DISCLOSURE INDEX Saint Laurent's latest women's fashion collection for the summer of 2024, designed by Anthony Vaccarello, brings a unique and captivating approach that embraces simplicity and recalls the roots of fashion. This season, the brand presents us with a pragmatic aesthetic, standing out with high-fashion-inspired everyday looks and a broader silhouette compared to previous seasons. Anthony Vaccarello drew inspiration from iconic figures such as Amelia Earhart and Adrienne Bolland, pioneering women who broke barriers in domains once considered exclusively masculine, such as aviation and car racing. The result is a collection that exudes the quintessential essence of Saint Laurent: assertive sophistication, blending elements of the male wardrobe in a enduringly feminine manner. Key Pieces from the Collection The collection features variations of the safari jacket and jumpsuits as key pieces, standing out for their utilitarian ease contrasted with careful details, such as waist belts. A prevalence of cotton and linen in earthy tones, ranging from olive green and burgundy to sand and chalk, demonstrates a natural inclination. Sophistication is accentuated by sharp accessories, including leather gloves and high heels, features for which the house is renowned. The Modernist Setting The collection was presented in a modernist setting composed of kaleidoscopic mineral surfaces, providing views of the Eiffel Tower while enhancing its subtle elegance. This backdrop chosen by Saint Laurent highlights the harmony between the brand's iconic legacy and its contemporary vision, masterfully uniting the past and present. Matheus Hooks' Opinion (Fashion Director): Saint Laurent's Summer 2024 collection is an ode to simplicity and feminine confidence, reaffirming fashion's ability to be bold and timeless simultaneously. With inspiration from fearless women and a pragmatic view of fashion, Saint Laurent continues to be a dominant force in the industry, always surprising and inspiring.

The new collection, starring Bella Campos, features natural gemstones and references elements of nature. Photos Disclosure LIFE Continuing the trilogy of campaigns starring the winner of Best Supporting Actress in the Melhores do Ano awards, Bella Campos appears in a softer and more delicate mood, representing the essence of Life's new collection: Breeze.   With topazes and lapis lazuli, the jewelry seeks to represent water and the breeze of the wind, conveying all the freshness of natural elements in a sophisticated manner. The water aesthetic had already been a highlight among fashion weeks, but it was the lighter shades of blue - the Light Blue - that stole the show at New York Fashion Week. Thus, the jewelry brand takes the lead and positions itself as a trendsetter in the Brazilian market. The jewelry mix includes rings, earrings, and necklaces in silver with rhodium plating and natural gemstones, offering delicate, timeless, and versatile options that allow for both daytime and evening outfit combinations.   In an interview about the new release, Bella Campos responds: How would you describe your current career moment? Can we expect more news? "I would say it's a very promising moment filled with novelties. This is my first campaign for a jewelry brand, and I'm currently on a trip for a movie shoot, so you can expect a lot of new things coming up and different projects." How did you feel about being chosen to participate in this campaign? "I was very happy. Being with Life is very special; the brand suits me perfectly. It's a youthful brand that brings a lot of personality and expression in its pieces." Could you tell us a bit about the inspiration behind the campaign and how it aligns with your own aesthetics and personal style? "The collection has this blend of delicacy with a more creative personality, which resonates with my sensitive and expressive side at the same time." What was the coolest moment of your experience in the campaign? Is there any moment or detail you'd like to highlight? "The photoshoot was a very cool experience. Besides the team being very dear, I got to discover interesting facts and more details about the pieces, truly understand the inspirations, references of the collection, and its development." The pieces from the Breeze collection are now available on the e-commerce website and in all brand stores throughout Brazil.

Missoni's Kaleidoscopic Collection: Embodying the Elsewhere in Fashion PHOTOS DISCLOSURE MISSONI MFW Fashion gifts us the opportunity to embody the elsewhere—another place, time, or state of mind—each day, infinitely, spontaneously, and lightly. The flutter of a ruffle and the rhythm of a pattern place the act of living in the moment under the lens of a kaleidoscope, and the result is ever-changing. This playful collection emerges from a cheerful question: How to enjoy reality? The answer materializes in exploring the joys of matter, shape, and color. Exploring the Masculine-Feminine Duality One of the collection's defining features is the bold exploration of the duality between masculine and feminine. Generous volumes meet tight lines, creating a captivating equilibrium. Transparencies are artfully layered over Missoni's iconic patterns, while "Missoni-isms" expand onto unexpected fabrics like sangallo. Just as the combinations in a kaleidoscope are infinite, so are the Missoni ways to enjoy reality— as numerous as one's desires. Garments as Fashion Puzzles The garments in this collection resemble pieces of inlay, like puzzle pieces with an open ending. Tailored blazers, trousers, and Bermuda shorts; blouses; jumpsuits; and form-fitting dresses that embrace the body's form. And to complete the look, high heels and bold statement sunglasses. All in a palette of sorbet colors, fresh and summery, mixed with whites and neutrals. Ultimately, it's about creating a form of weightless "put-together" layering. This is what the entire show suggests, reflected in the giant spheres created by artist Shawn Kolodny that distort proportions and accentuate colors while also softening them at the same time. A Collection that Enchants the Senses This year's Missoni collection is a celebration of the joy of dressing. It's a journey that invites us to explore reality in a unique, light, and sophisticated way. By melding masculine and feminine elements, iconic patterns, and innovative materials, Missoni reminds us that fashion is an ever-evolving form of art. So, allow yourself to enjoy reality exceptionally with this kaleidoscopic collection that offers endless possibilities for personal expression.

Her life is an inspiring narrative that continues to unfold, revealing new horizons and possibilities. Check out the exclusive interview now: 1. Can you tell us about your journey from Lviv to Kyiv and how it influenced your career and life? My home and favorite city of Lviv is like a quiet haven, where it is comfortable to walk along the old streets and taste coffee in cozy cafes. Here time flows slowly and no one is in a hurry. The first time I went on an excursion to Kiev with my school class, I was 12 years old. I saw Kyiv, but did not fall in love with it. Then my next trip took place from a Lviv modeling agency to Kiev Fashion week. And then we met as if for the first time, I felt the living dynamic power of the city, which was rapidly developing and moving forward just like me. I fell in love with trips to the subway, the big Dnieper River, the hills... I began to travel to Kyiv often, for 1-2 days, just to walk, go shopping and feel the energy of this city. And in the end, one day my dad told me that I was 18 years old and he wanted to buy me an apartment in Kyiv. My modeling career was moving and I also represented my hometown Lviv at the “Queen of Ukraine” and in The World Fashion TV competitions. I always wanted to achieve everything myself and didn’t want to take money from daddy... but then I realized that this was not just a purchase or a gift, that it was fate that wanted to move me further. On one of my trips to Kyiv, I came to have lunch at a restaurant, there was no one there - just me, which made me very happy, since I like to be alone with myself. I ordered a salad, I was eating and then someone came into the restaurant... I looked with a very angry look, who was the one who interfered with my idyll... and there was a handsome young man who looked at me and I realized that I knew him -it was sympathy or love at first glance. But my freedom-loving character and pride immediately threw him overboard. I had a lot of fans and men in love with me, who simply loved me and dreamed of being together, I considered this some kind of punishment and asked a God to leave them all behind. I was very uncompromising and tough on them and their feelings. But, my future husband turned out to be a tough nut to crack and very similar to me - he was persistent, although I gave him a hard time in meeting him and left the restaurant, his driver followed me and asked for my phone number. I gave my phone number and in the evening I left for my hometown of Lviv. Several days passed, I had already forgotten about this meeting and then a call... - Sasha, my future husband, called, we talked, the conversation didn’t go well and I thought that we would never communicate again... 2 months passed, I was in Kyiv, and then my future husband called, we met in the evening. Then we called each other, he came to get to know my city and my parents. He invited me to fly to Dubai and celebrate my birthday. I was thinking for a long time before response... but my feelings took over and I agreed. On my birthday, he proposed to me to marry him, I said “yes”, and from then on we never parted... together all the time, we feel comfortable being together. After the wedding, my modeling career faded into the background. Then I completely refused to work in the agency, since I was always not comfortable going through castings... I thought that it hurt my soul and that this was not my path. My husband and I started traveling a lot, I was doing marketing and designing shopping centers. But, in the end, the modeling industry took over and they began to invite me and collaborate in this area, but through the social networks Facebook, and then Instagram... Although I admit, I don’t like social networks - only for the sake of work. What can I ultimately say about Kyiv: it gave me a new line of destiny... a husband, a job, a family, my main person in life - my son who was born in this wonderful city. 2. Being the mother of Alexander and having a successful career, how do you combine your personal and work life? I never divided this. My life, my trials, personal life and work are all one whole, interconnected with each other world. I have my own individual and complex path. My family is part of this path and they are my soul mates who interact with me, and I with them. My work has never been just about working for the sake of work or money - it’s all for the sake of my spiritual development and growth. We are always together, when I fly away on work projects - we fly together, then we spend time and relax. I have such a son that he is an adult and understands me from birth, and understands my path, I am very grateful to him that he came to me and with me. He shares all my experiences. We travel together, make decisions together, go to the movies, restaurants, walks, discuss many topic. He is my best friend, like my husband - they complement each other. 3. You mentioned working with elite travel companies and 5* hotels. Can you share a memorable experience or destination that stood out to you during your time as a travel expert? I was called to become the “face” of the travel newspaper Dream House, as a travel expert, and I really liked this offer. I could develop myself in this area, be a critic, study and analyze, write articles, which I also really love, and of course, be photographed as a model and be the face of a company - in my opinion, the ideal combination. A trip to Mauritius with a team to conduct photography in a famous hotel was especially memorable for me. There was a walk with lions, just in the jungle - I really remembered it for the rest of my life. It was a dangerous adventure, I expected to see a Leo, but two lionesses came to me for a walk, and one of them constantly looked at me, watched and showed attention. At one point she jumped onto a stone, tensed up and looked at me without taking her eyes off... I then quickly began to pray... bowed my head, recognizing her as the main one. My whole life flashed by in a few seconds - it was a special state to die without dying. Some kind of special transformation. There were many other experiences, each trip is special with its own story. 4. As a travel magazine model, what is the most exotic location you've had for a photo shoot and what made it special? For me, the most important thing in every story is when space interacts and goes one step ahead, opening doors, weather supporting, situations come as need, as if you feel and develop by yourself every minute. This is the mantle of the Universe, the most special for me. In Mauritius it’s lions, in Dubai it’s communication and a photo session with a falcon who participates in falconry - this is a truly unique experience in the UAE, I got unforgettable memories and photographs with these noble birds of prey. Singapore, Norway, a helicopter flight over Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon in the USA left a lot of impressions. 5. Moving from modeling to producing and styling photo shoots for fashion magazines, what prompted this career change and what do you enjoy most about it? Modeling has always been a manifestation of creativity for me and the role of a model has always been close to me. You either accept the terms and rules of this business or you don’t. The main reason I left was not accepting the established rules, sheer restrictions - it’s not in my character to not have freedom of speech and choice. And in the end I went into free creativity and to do projects that allowed me to realize myself and show creativity and freedom of choice. One of the most memorable shoots was a photo shoot for Officel magazine, Paris, which was entirely my responsibility, it was very responsible. To be in the role of a producer, model, stylist, choose locations, solve difficulties and various situations that try to prevent me from doing everything the way I planned. For me it’s always an adventure, but never just work or business. 6. What can you say now about life and family business in Ukraine during the war? Now Ukraine and its people are going through very difficult times, which have united them more than ever. I am writing this interview and answering your questions, while in a bomb shelter in Lviv. There is a drone attack on the city and an explosion was just heard, my mother called and asked if everything was okay with us. And so almost every night, air raid warnings and attacks. Now I live with my family in Lviv; the war does not allow us to return to Kyiv for permanent residence. Our unequivocal decision was to stay in our native land in Ukraine, volunteer, pray and do everything possible so that the war would leave our country. My son Alexander dreamed of living in Lviv and unfortunately, it was the war that made his dream come true; we have been here for 1.5 years already. We decided that we would not leave and that we would all be together in our native land. As for business, it’s hard to do business in Ukraine during war, but we’re doing to the extent we can. Through my husband’s contacts abroad, we are now participating in a project with an American company to restore energy infrastructure and generate electricity, which will be very necessary in the winter. 7. Working as an ambassador for the Faberge jewelry brand must have been exciting. Can you tell us about your impressions and favorite items from the brand that you had the opportunity to demonstrate? The Faberge brand found me and offered me to become an Ambassador in Ukraine, the cooperation lasted for 2 years. This position obliged me to a lot and caused a lot of attention from people and various magazines. One of my key and main jobs was a photo shoot for Brand in London. I completely created the ideas and chose the shooting locations in different locations in London, acted as producer, stylist and model. I demonstrated the best works of the Brand and especially liked the Hibiscus cuff bracelet. Faberge fully supported the shoot and provided a lot of expensive jewelry. This was an exciting shoot for one of the most famous and oldest jewelry brands in the world, and I felt a huge responsibility and desire to contribute my vision of how to represent the Brand. Today this Brand is already part of me, and everything related to my participation and contribution is already part of the history of this Brand. Which I'm very happy about.

Luciana, you mentioned that Peach Up was born after a transformative turning point in your personal and physical life. Can you share more about this personal transformation and how it influenced your decision to enter the beauty and self-esteem industry? Almost three years ago, I faced numerous health issues, and my self-esteem hit rock bottom! I was literally at the bottom of the pit. That's when I had to take action regarding everything negative happening in my life. I hired a personal trainer, started focusing on my diet, and used imported products for firming and skin improvement due to weight loss. This combination of care transformed me and ignited the desire to create something to help women become their best selves! 2. Besides your products and business, we can see that you are a woman of values and inspiration. Could you tell us more about how your personal journey shaped your business vision and what motivates you to inspire other women? I've always had an entrepreneurial spirit and been highly goal-oriented. What motivates me to inspire women is the need to make it clear to society that women are taking over the world. We are becoming increasingly powerful in business, and we need to show that we, as women, can be whatever we want to be! 3. Peach Up has achieved impressive results, reaching over 1 million reais in revenue in just two months of existence. What are the main factors you attribute to this initial success, considering your own role in the company? Peach Up is a success; I knew it would be from the first day I created the brand! There was a lot of work before the launch to make everything perfect as it is now. If you do something well, putting all your love and dedication into it, there's no way it can go wrong! For Peach Up, there is only Plan A, and in my life too, there is only Plan A because Plan B is for losers. 4. You mentioned that Peach Up's goal is to value the best in every woman, from the inside out and from the outside in. How do you believe your own journey of self-discovery contributes to this mission? Peach Up's goal is to transform lives! I want to transform women into their best versions! I want them to be inspired by my story! Success always comes to those who have good stories to tell! 5. How do you balance your entrepreneurial career with personal self-development? Are there practices or life philosophies that you consider essential for your success in both personal life and business? Balance is crucial in everything in life. I always try to weigh everything I do. I like the idea of doing everything well thought out, with pedigree, you know? You either do it well or you don't do it at all!
