The entire production process of the wavy fringes lasted about 24 hours. To bring a contemporary air to the looks, which the artist called "20/23", an allusion to the combination of the 1920s and 2023s, all the natural textures of the hair were respected, using the OSIS+ Big Blast to prepare the strands and to finish the hair and shine the OSIS+ Magic. The products chosen to create the hairstyles for the show are from the OSIS+ and Silhouette styling lines, by Schwarzkopf Professional. The range features products in gel, spray, serum, cream and foam, as well as different levels of fixation and control, which offer multiple possibilities to style the strands and create unique looks in such a historic fashion show for Handred.

  • Nadjaliny: Brazilian model and expert investor in Cryptocurrencies gives tips on the market!

    Credits: Photo: @angellyll Photo: @davidsduana Designer Hooks: @directorhooks Nadjaliny is a Brazilian model who exudes beauty and charisma! She started her international career in Mexico, and intends to invest in the catwalks! But we don't stop there, the beauty has become a great investor, as she used the pandemic as an opportunity to delve deeper into the subject by becoming an expert, not only in medium-long-term investments but also in cryptocurrencies, and what does that mean? Medium term investments: If for the short term it is important to guarantee that it will be possible to redeem the investment in a shorter period of time, for medium term strategies this no longer happens. In practice, it is not essential that the investment's liquidity is immediate or that its maturity is close, since you have a longer period of time to maintain your investments. There is a test called API: Investor Profile Analysis, where you can identify the best options for your profile, which can be bold or conservative, for example. Long term investments: The great and greatest example of investment thinking about the long term is retirement. For this strategy, paying attention to maturities and liquidity is no longer so important. The focus is on ensuring the highest possible yield for the long term, so the most common recommendations are: – Diversify – that is, having investments in different assets and types of investments, which will guarantee different returns. Cryptocurrencies: You've definitely heard someone talk about it, as cryptocurrencies have been on the rise in the market for some time! but what are they really? Cryptocurrency is the generic name for decentralized digital currencies, created on a blockchain network from advanced cryptography systems that protect transactions, your information and the data of those who transact. What are cryptocurrencies for? Like all currencies, such as the dollar and the real, cryptocurrencies are used to buy services and products online. However, this is not the main function that cryptos have gained over time. Because of the technologies that many of them carry, they were seen as a long-term financial reserve opportunity by many people. We had the opportunity to interview this amazing woman and also take a "cone" about it! Come with us! 1-Nadjaliny, how about we start our chat by better defining what a Trader is, do you consider yourself a Trader? It is what it is? Is it a profession? A lifestyle? What is important to know about this job to avoid surprises when trying to master it? Trader is a financial market investor who does several short-term operations, I don't consider myself a Trader because my focus is more on the medium and long term, especially now that the market has been down for months. I think it can be considered a profession because there are people who make a living from it. There is really no secret to day trading, as it is a very high risk investment. 2-What should a novice investor know before deciding to invest in stocks and/or operate with assets and derivatives? Is there a right way to start? What would you recommend? I suggest starting with basic knowledge, with your feet on the ground and bearing in mind that this market is very volatile and, above all, you have to be very cold-blooded because at some point you will see your money melting away, and you have to keep calm so you don't selling everything is the key. 3-You are also a model and have done several JOBS outside Brazil, what led you to reconcile these two careers? I started modeling in Mexico but I still haven't had time to dedicate myself, next year I want to focus more on the catwalk, which is what I've always liked in modeling. 4-Could you summarize when you started operating with investments and cryptocurrencies? I first started operating on the Brazilian stock exchange in 2019, which was when the pandemic began, I had a lot of free time and had nothing to dedicate myself to. each day. 5-What does it take to work with the cryptocurrency market? And how do you think they are impacting in the present and how will they impact in the future? The basics are fundamental to start investing is to create an account with a brokerage and deposit money, you can start with little. What you have is worth it. Cryptocurrencies came to make our lives easier, for example I no longer change money at a bureau de change, I can be in Mexico or China and have my money arrive converted into reais in less than 5 minutes, this is an evolution. 6- What would you say to someone who is starting in this area? And what are your plans for the future? How do you imagine yourself in five years? I would say take tranquilizers (laughs), it's not easy, it's like watching a price roller coaster and you have to be calm if you're not going to go bald. In 5 years I see myself triumphing regardless of whether it's in this market or another. 7- And last but not least: what is your voice? What would you like to shout out to the world if you had the opportunity? I would like to tell you to do mainly what scares you! Because if it works out, you'll live in abundance for the rest of your life, and be loyal to yourself before everything and everyone, don't do anything to please, don't stay in the place you don't want to be out of fear or shame of leaving. And much success to all who try!

  • Lorainy Guelssi: digital travel influencer gives exclusive tips for your trip here at Hooks!

    Foto: @romulomonteeiro_ Roupas: @closet126 Make: @olhaquebonitastudio Designer Hooks: @directorhooks Lorainy is a beautiful young Brazilian woman, born in Guarulhos -SP, the city where she currently lives. However, her plans are to soon fly out of Brazil again, as the ease of travel is a relevant point, in addition to being cheaper than what it costs here, according to her! Lorainy or Lolo as she likes to be called, spent some time in Ireland in 2018, that's when her passion for travel began, and today the beauty knows more than 20 countries and several cities from Curaçao, Zanzibar, Maldives, Cancun, Ibiza, Marbella, Qatar, Istanbul, Dubai, and others... On her Instagram and also on YouTube, she shares tips on everything from destinations, to how to organize and plan your trip, suitcase, etc... Instagram is a platform that works as a form of multimodal travel writing, where author-users act in travel performances by posting about visited destinations, in addition to searching for travel tips. In this scenario of social media, Travel Influencers emerge, who gain a prominent role because travelers seek elements, tips and enthusiasm to make choices that they would often not make in their travel plans. However, these travelers need to perceive credibility in the information collected. That's where the importance of choosing well comes in! Lorainy has stood out with the characteristic of being descriptive and exploratory! She passes the information on clearly and with a lot of responsibility and credibility! We had the opportunity to get to know this muse better, and also receive some special tips for you who are thinking of organizing that dream trip! 1- How did your career as a travel influencer start? What was the turning point where you discovered that you would like to make a profession out of it? And where did your big debut go? I've always really enjoyed traveling, discovering new places, this Earth is too big for us to stay in just one place, I've always been very curious. But the passion for traveling became even stronger when I went on my exchange program in 2018. I went to Ireland to study English, and I got addicted to getting on a plane and meeting new places, new people, mainly because of the ease of traveling around Europe, I loved going to Paris in 1 hour. After that I did a lot of traveling and found that I don't want to do anything else but travel the world! 2- As a great traveler that you are, many of your trips end up being solo. What do you usually do when arriving at a destination when you're alone? People need to lose this fear of traveling alone, of course it's better with someone to share some expenses and for the company too, but traveling alone I realized that it's cool too, there are no fights, I do what I want, I'm easy to be friends with . Not just alone, but even traveling with friends, I'm the one who schedules everything in advance so I don't get to places and get lost. I try to stay in a hotel with a good location, usually in the center of the city; I research the most relevant sights and, if possible, make a reservation. I go to restaurants, I know the local food, I like to enjoy a Boa Vista. I love my own company, but I confess that I use a relationship app (tinder) when I arrive at places, abroad it works very well, I always meet wonderful people and have incredible moments! 3- What places would you indicate as a trend for Brazilians who want to travel for now? I recommend the beautiful beaches of the northeast here in Brazil, I am in love with Natal - RN, the climate there is pleasant and the people are incredible, there are great parties. And for those who want to relax or go as a couple, the Rio Quente Resort in Goiás is also a great option. Para aqueles que desejam fazer uma viagem internacional eu sugiro começar pelo Chile que tem varias atividades incríveis e diferentes por lá, ou também por Cancun, conhecendo as encantadoras praias do caribe. Sao destinos turísticos , fáceis de planejar e cabem no bolso. 4- Do you collect anything from the destinations you know? Besides amazing memories? Yes, I do collect fridge magnets from every city I go to, I also collect some small shelf ornaments from famous tourist spots like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Burj Khalifa in Dubai and Chichen Itza in Mexico. 5- What can't be missing in your suitcase? My universal charger, my curling iron and my GoPro can't be missing! Comfortable and stylish sneakers I also always take, in addition to personal hygiene items, I don't go without. 6- What is your biggest motivation when choosing a travel destination? And what tips would you give to someone starting their career in this field? I like to know different places, with old stories, those places with breathtaking views, you know? Greece for example is such a place! I like the beach more than a cold place, so my eyes fill with paradisiacal beaches, the photos come out perfect! I look for the most popular destinations, but I also like to explore. For example, when I went to Turkey, I went to a cute little town that I found on the internet called Pamukkale, I was enchanted, and almost nobody goes there. My tip is: do an exchange while there's still time! The best place to do it is in Ireland, the planning must be up to 1 year in advance, plan in terms of finances so as not to go through difficulties, but also research everything about the place beforehand so as not to arrive and get lost. 7- And last but not least: what is your voice? What would you like to shout out to the world if you had the chance? Go live, go explore the world, don't waste time, we don't know how much time we have here on this earth, get out of your comfort zone a little. You will travel, meet new people, fill yourself with cultural baggage, create memories… Life is one, and it is brief!

  • LILLY SARTI SPRING SUMMER 2023

    LSD - LILLY SARTI DESIRES Lilly Sarti SPFW n54 /PHOTOS Marcelo Soubhia @agfotosite Summer 2023 Lilly Sarti brings the Lilly Sarti Desires capsule, an ethnic superlative that reinforces one of the strongest signatures of the brand. From the Incas of Peru to the Azeris of Azerbaijan, the weaves, profusion of colors and textures represent pure textile and visual richness. Each one, in its own way, ends up having a sacred bias, as they celebrate techniques and cultures passed down in an ancestral way. Combining opposing concepts of ancestry and futurism, Inca prints and ethnic jacquards are accompanied by metallic details that recall the futurism of the 60s. The sophistication of georgette combined with Inca design forms the noble basis of a clearly hybrid collection. Following the brand's DNA, the collection features jacquards that, in a contemporary and special way, maintain the beauty of the textures. Ecological, with part of its threads recycled from PET bottles, the jacquards were developed with an exclusive design, composed of a free interpretation of Azerbaijani tapestry. The richness of the technique provides beauty even on the reverse side of the fabric. The choice of the mineral pyrite, one of the most powerful stones for attracting prosperity, was the way to bring about the balance that the stone itself promotes, of body, mind and spirituality alignment. The shape mix of the Summer 2023 collection remains strongly aligned with the brand's purpose, to dress women without stereotypes. A vibrant, almost “lysergic” atmosphere permeates the collection, with a palette ranging from earthy tones such as ochre, hazelnut, brick and ruby red, to vibrant shades of lilac, lolipop pink, pistachio and sky blue. www.lillysarti.com.br

The fashion show, which will be a great tribute to her craftsmanship and savoir-faire, reinforces the essence of the brand, slow fashion. "Patricia's clothes encompass several segments of the fashion industry, and each piece gains a little of that energy and care of handmade", says stylist Felipe Veloso. Patricia Viera looks awaken women's self-esteem and empower them, awakening self-love and the feeling of feeling good in their own skin. The collection features shiny and metallic elements, bringing the energy of letting shine, of revealing a radiant energy that has been dammed up since the pandemic and that can now come to life again. The environmental concern that has accompanied Patricia Viera since the beginning of her history guides the new collection partnership, which uses leather supplied by Leather Labs, a digital platform that facilitates access by professionals and end consumers to tracked, certified leather with low environmental impact . In the hands of Patricia Viera, the raw material is used in every centimeter, in a zero waste production policy that is part of the brand's DNA. The new Patricia Viera + FerDan store, on the ground floor of Iguatemi, also features pieces from the partnership between Leather Labs, Patricia Viera and the NGO Orientavida, an institution that trains vulnerable women.

  • RIMOWA IN SYNERGY WITH ADIDAS ORIGINALS CELEBRATES GERMAN INNOVATION IN SPECIAL EDITION COLLAB

    This season, the two iconic German brands come together to announce the new collaboration partnership. Recognized as leaders in their fields, adidas and RIMOWA are ready to celebrate the spirit of mobility by bringing an inaugural capsule collection that offers world explorers the perfect tools to move around and escape today's cityscape.

The RIMOWA x adidas NMD Backpack shows a solution with technical innovations, being indicated to meet the demands in outdoor environments and night commutes. Made of aluminum with the unmistakable RIMOWA accents, it has a host of well-thought-out features, from the utilitarian design of the padded shoulder straps, equipped with a carabiner clasp and thumb loops, to the weight-bearing rope handles and carry handle. . The garment is also equipped with adidas boost-inspired foam overlays over the backpack's ribbed surface to ensure comfort, as well as an elastic strap that runs down the middle, securing the backpack to the telescopic tubes.

  • Sponsored by Edi Rock, DOM7NICO is inspired by Charlie Brown Jr and bets on romantic rap

    The main artist of the ROC7 label lives his best phase, after a past fight against drug use Photo credit: Gabriel Jurado DOM7NICO promises to be the new standout name on the scene. Different from the traditional approach of rap, the artist is inspired by the romanticism of the extinct Charlie Brown Jr to pass on his message, which speaks of love, faith and hope, strolling a little through the pop genre. On the next 12/1, he will release his first album, entitled 'O Melhor da Vida', by the ROC7 label, in partnership with Virgin Music Brasil, which is an arm of Universal Music Brasil. The album features ten tracks and special appearances by rapper Edi Rock, influencer Sabrina Rocha and Fábio Brazza. “Although I rap, I have a different style. I think I sing a style of music that nobody currently does. It's something completely different and it's a musical style that the market is lacking. It's something that I see that is similar to what Charlie Brown did, with lyrics that contain a message of love, something more romanticized, different from what most people are doing today. I'm very romantic, but because of this crazy life that I've already lived, I bring a bit of 'malouqueira' in my romanticism", explains DOM7NICO. Behind the production of the artist's new project are great names, such as Hebert Medeiros and Rael Lúcio. The mastering was done by Latin Grammy winner Maurício Gargel, and Big Rabello was responsible for the mix. The recordings took place at the Pá Virada studio, the same where Anitta, Projota and Giulia Be recorded their last works. The cover of the EP was created by the artist Mark1, considered a legend of world graffiti and tattooing. At the age of 33, DOM7NICO is currently experiencing his best phase, after a troubled past, which involved compulsory hospitalization in his teens due to drug use. At age 16, the rapper spent two years in hospital battling drug addiction, after the early loss of his father, which devastated him in such a way that his life ended up turning upside down. But it was precisely in psychiatry that he ended up discovering his gift. “I ended up getting involved with wrong things, criminality… I was arrested in Belgium, I got involved with drugs… I had to leave society at the age of 16, because I was hospitalized for two years in a psychiatry. Psychiatry was where I discovered my gift for composing. When I left hospital, I had to take care of my mother and my sister, so I couldn't dedicate myself to music because I had to work, study, because I was the man of the house. I had to mature this side of me of being the provider of the house. When I turned 23, I started trying to reconcile the two things. I ended up being invited to join ROC7, last year, as the label's main artist, and now I'm going to release my first album”, comments the singer-songwriter. In addition to being the musical godson of Edi Rock, from the Racionais MCs - one of the greatest rappers in the history of the scene -, DOM7NICO has songs recorded with the singer Negra Li and compositions with Criolo. He also signed the music for the Corinthians film/documentary and wrote the song in celebration of the title of the same team in the Brazilian and Paulista championships, in 2017. He has already recorded a rap EP in Holland with a Dutch rap group and has already had his face stamped on one of Cavalera's blouses, a brand for which he was once an ambassador. But behind the scenes of showbiz, DOM7NICO is guaranteed to be a simple guy. “I'm very attached to my faith, to my family, I'm very loyal, true, I'm rich than money can't buy. I didn't go to college, but I'm welcome inside the favela and in Dubai with a Sheik. It's something really crazy, because I move between these two worlds treating everyone as an equal. I believe that no one is better than anyone. And that generates empathy in people and opens several doors for me, which made me reach where I would never have imagined. I was a guy who had everything to go wrong, but he turned it around and today he's fine. My father was an alcoholic, he died as a result of drug use. Today I thank God for my life and for everything I have lived and lived. For several years of my life, people looked at me with pity, because of my father, but I never wanted and never accepted that place of pity”, completes the artist.
