ditor’s letter

Last year was hard for all industries around the world, including fashion. The cancellation of fashion weeks, closed boutiques, and sanitizers instead of perfume – the COVID-19 pandemic has become a major problem to the fashion industry and even questioned the survival of many of its segments.

Everything began during Milan Fashion Week, one of the main events in the fashion world. Paris Men’s Fashion Week and Haute Couture Week have also been canceled. However, everything has its positive sides, including self-isolation. The designers showed all their creativity in order to make their fans happy and satisfied even in difficult times. Online fashion shows, Zoom and WhatsApp photoshoots, virtual clothing and even dressing rooms... Pandemic opened a new reality for the fashion industry which seems to be actively developing even after the relaxation of restrictions. This MOVER issue is dedicated to the revival and the new life of the fashion world after the pandemic. May our hopes for the best become true and we’ll have an opportunity to enjoy this summer at the fullest. Yes, we mean great shopping as well!

New talents: the most promising designers One of the many reasons why the world of fashion is so incredible is the fact that it continuously seeks out fresh ideas, creations, and designers. Any day in fashion could become revolutionary because of someone’s groundbreaking idea. Over the recent years, more and more young and talented people entered the industry and brought something unique into it. Young designers tend to be more innovative and experiment with their ideas, and they don’t fear challenges, unlike the well-established, worldwide famous brands. We would like to introduce you to some outstanding new-generation designers and their stories

GLENN MARTENS and Y/PROJECT Glenn Martens, a designer from Belgium, studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. In April 2013, after working at Jean Paul Gaultier as a junior designer, Martens became the creative director of Y/Project. His brand debuted at Paris Fashion Week and ran for three seasons, bringing more and more recognition to Marten’s talent and vision. In 2017, Y/Project won the esteemed ANDAM Grand Prize, while Glenn Martens was selected as one of the BOF (Business of Fashion) 500 people shaping fashion globally. In 2018, Glenn Martens was awarded the title of Designer of the Year at the Belgian Fashion Awards, a fashion prize that was previously awarded to Dries Van Noten and Raf Simons. When the brand received the Special Edition ANDAM prize in 2020, there was no doubt that Glenn’s name has made it into the list of not only Belgium’s but the world’s most influential people in fashion. Y/Project’s official website states that the Paris-based brand combines “conceptual and inventive detailing with playful proportions and a witty take on historical references”. Glenn brilliantly implements modern trends and personal vision into his creations, which makes his designs stand out compared to other contemporary brands.

GRACE WALES BONNER Grace Wales Bonner is a 29-year-old British designer. Right after graduating from Central Saint Martins, Wales Bonner launched her eponymous brand in 2014, first focusing strictly on menswear then adding womenswear to the collections. Emerging Menswear Designer at the British Fashion Awards, received the LVMH Young Designer Prize, was invited by Maria Grazia Chiuri to collaborate with Dior, and announced the winner of the BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund. These are just some of her achievements as Grace continues to conquer the industry and hearts of fashion lovers. If you take a look at Wales Bonner’s collections, you will find not only a collaboration with Adidas, but also numerous extravagant dresses together with minimalistic outwear and plaid tracksuits.

CHOPOVA LOWENA Central Saint Martins graduates Emma Chopova and Laura Lovena give a second life to often deserted Bulgarian fabrics and national patterns. While Lovena comes from the UK, Chopova grew up in America with Bulgarian parents – united by their mutual love of traditional crafts, the pair met at Central Saint Martin’s doing their bachelor’s degrees. In search of materials, Chopova often returns to her parents’ village and the mountains outside the capital of Sofia. The found blankets, tartan aprons, and vintage fabrics get transformed into kilts and blouses with eclectic sporty elements, imbued with punk serenity.

OVID-19 has undoubtedly affected all industries around the world, including the fashion industry. Lockdown and severe restrictions forced brands to look for new ways to experiment with high technologies in order to showcase their collections and to give their customers at least a tiny sense of physical shopping that they were deprived of. This is how virtual fitting rooms, digital catwalks, and clothing appeared. What is more surprising is that the brands intend on keeping such technologies even after the pandemic has passed. In fact, brands like Jacquemus became very inventive in the way they present content and collaborate with models, even resorting to FaceTime as 16  mover-magazine.com

a means to do photoshoots. Of course, such homemade shoots don’t involve make-up artists, hairstylists, or any other personnel. There is only one model in the room which allows both her and the remote photographer to show their creativity to the fullest.

Once the item is made, it will be promptly shipped to the customer. Designer Kat Taylor became one of the first pioneers of this system by creating digital renders of her new collections, available on the Selfridges retailer’s website.

It wasn’t easy for some brands to create new clothes or to supply them, which is why they created virtual clothing that became both practical and innovative solution to displaying a new collection without organizing such a complex and time-consuming event as a fashion show. What’s more, even if a brand can’t produce a clothing item physically yet, its customers can already place the item in their cart, wishlist, or at least pre-order it.

Moreover, many buyers from across the world used this extended period of isolation to self-reflect and understand the detrimental effect that the fashion industry has on the environment. Recognizing this, buyers are now prioritizing responsible consumption, seeking out and buying from designers that not only outwardly care for the environment, but are also transparent about their environmental choices.

Meanwhile, representatives of the newest generations (millennials and generation Z) have already studied the topic of sustainable fashion in-and-out, long before the COVID-19 pandemic struck. However, after everything humanity’s been through, the voices of the youngest generations are now louder than ever, demanding change and applauding the intentions of the brands to help our planet from suffering.

Followingly, adopting more sustainable practices has become a conscious and crucial choice for many. Instead of being a shortlived trend, sustainability has proven to be an expanding system, whereby many people and brands abide by switching to more ecofriendly analogs. It is therefore safe to assume that sustainability and flexibility are the keys to success for many brands in the future. Some call it a reboot of the fashion industry – we call it a fresh new start, which we hope will bring about the most basic, yet most wonderful and important values in fashion, such as simplicity, beauty, and uniqueness.

F

ashion has long valorized youth. But the churn of  “new faces”, as rookie models are known, has become relentless. There is, of course, no shortage of people keen to pursue it as a career, and the agency has several ways to find new faces. Models have long-faced unpredictable working conditions. Trends of the modeling industry today look almost nothing like they did a decade ago. Today we will talk about the pros and cons of modeling, for example, two Italian-Brazilian models living in Barcelona – Bruna Biondo and Karina Bottene. Girls show by their example how to build a successful modeling career in Europe and their own lives. In addition to talking about the way to achieve heights in the working area, getting on the covers of the most famous magazines all around the world, they share their own story of obtaining Italian citizenship.

| PEOPLE Ladies, the first question is for you both! When and why did you choose to pursue a career as a model? When did you meet each other, and how did this rendezvous turn into friendship? Bruna Biondo was discovered by Dilson Stein in 2010 at the age of 12. “I come from Crissiumal. That is a small town located 35 kilometers from another small town in the countryside of South Brazil – Horizontina. Model Manager Gisele Bundchen, who discovered the uber model and other fashion names such as Alessandra Ambrosio, Caroline Trentini, comes from Crissiumal”. Bruna remembers herself visiting her cousin Raquel in Horizontina, where Dilson invited both girls and their parents to come to his office, which was well-known at that time. A part of Dilson Stein New Models Agency work was giving training weekends to models, and Bruna managed to take part in her first convention at the age of 14. Bruna’s participation in her first convention was sufficient to get her approved with signed contracts of 8 major agencies out of 15, mostly from São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Being 16 years old, Bruna accomplished her first official photo book with one of the agencies she was approved back to the convention – in São Paulo. At age 18, Bruna moved to the São Paulo model's apartment through the same agency she had her photo book from. In 2006, Bruna met Karina Bottene – age 23. Karina was at that time, also living in the same model’s apartment, approved by the same agency in São Paulo. That’s how they met. Bruna was 18, Karina – 23, in the tiny model's apartment in São Paulo for the first agency out of south Brazil. Karina comes from Joinville, also in the south of Brazil, coincidently started her career at age 12. There was only one new face model agency in her town that introduced her to the same major agency in São Paulo where Bruna was.

We have to deal with many frustrations and disapproval, which are related to appearance

Let’s talk about your family. How did your parents react when you wanted to become professional models? From the beginning, parents play the main roles for both models. Bruna’s family didn’t measure efforts to support her career, financially and emotionally. “My father used to have two jobs to be able to cover my costs: dental brackets, trips, photographic books, rental fees, and all the other initial steps I had to take. My mother also gave me priority about where to invest most of our resources”. So you started your career in quite competitive times. What difficulties did you encounter at the beginning? The difficulties are mostly related to the model careers requirements, and the environment is demanding with standards of beauty and behavior. From the start until now, we can say that they are the same: we have to deal with many frustrations and disapproval, which are related to appearance, and for the fashion market, the measures are even more narrow. What has become your trump card in the modeling business? Karina sees as her highlights: a 2nd place crowning in Miss Tourism Planet, as Miss Brazil Tourism 2020. Also, her collaboration with Hair Brazil Events in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Plus, a modeling job that made her quite known: was being an exclusive model for a lottery company from south Brazil for a couple of years, being part of their TV show recorded live every Sunday morning. mover-magazine.com  21

In Brazil, everyone originally comes from somewhere else, the diversity is common here Did you have the idol you wanted to be like? Both of us were always idolizing Gisele Bundchen. She is the only uber model as a fashion icon in the world. We also love the sustainable and healthy lifestyle she writes about in her book and shows the public, and fans are really glad when she shares more. You both have roots from Veneto. Do you feel the influence of Italian blood? Karina Bottene always knew about her origins in Veneto from her father’s family side. Bruna Biondo also had heard about her father's side of the family from Italy, but she had just recently discovered that they were from Veneto. “In Brazil, everyone originally comes from somewhere else, the diversity is common here”. We feel such influence for sure. In the south of Brazil, where our families live, the Italian traditions are maintained until today. Our grandparents still use an old Italian dialect that they carry from their parents, the immigrants. And as in the Italian pre-unification period, we still eat a lot of polenta with chicken. How did you decide to get dual citizenship, and whether this process was hard for you? On Instagram 4 years ago, Karina found Italian relatives who were separated 150 years ago. At first, this was also the main reason for starting the process. She says, “I felt a lot of conviction from the Italian roots. I was very proud to bring this connection back. The photos of my relatives on Instagram looked a lot like my father. Being from the same family was undeniable. She recommends a professional advisor that lasts from 3 to 6 months. Many can do it by themselves, but it is not indicated because it is a very bureaucratic process. Bruna did her card through the same advisor that Karina recommended. “This is my first time in Europe, and thanks to my friend's 22  mover-magazine.com

support, I was able to start my citizenship too. Having citizenship is an indescribable feeling – it breaks borders”. That's how her friends discovered so many similarities: Karina is from Padova and Bruna from Treviso, almost neighboring the cities of Veneto. “We have more coincidences: we are both Gemini (from zodiac sign), we were having goosebumps when we discovered we had the same roots also in Italy, later on, our friendship this year”. Bruna, tell us, how did you start collaborating with Vogue? The first time was in 2018, exactly in Rio de Janeiro-RJ. It was a collaboration with Brazilian brands, through the lenses of Selmy Yasuda, at the Veste Rio event - Pernambucana Da Gema brand and Ellecinq. My photos were published by Vogue Brazil and could be seen on your Instagram. My participation in other magazines like Claudia Online and Vogue Brazil make my trump Cards in the digital fashion market. How do you spend your free time? Karina's hobbies are yoga, piano, and acrobatic dancing. Also, she likes to read and has just graduated from business in Barcelona. On the other hand, Bruna loves to practice physical activities. She uses her free time taking care of her body and face, doing such duties as a skincare routine and fitness training. They appreciate spending time with family and friends a lot. What are your plans for the future? Bruna wants to close contracts with international agencies and intends to continue investing in her modeling career. Karina wants to start putting her academic knowledge into practice with creative and innovative ideas, but she intends to continue modeling in her spare time.

TATIANA BOCHAROVA It’s not always easy to find the right balance between work and family, especially if you have three children, a job, and a hobby. If a superwoman exists, it must be Tatiana Bocharova, the heroine of this interview. She told MOVER about her career choice, modeling journey, and family values. Tatiana, you are a successful model who has worked in the fashion industry for a long time. How did your modeling career begin? I‘ve always been a realist, so my journey in the modeling industry began with a harsh reality. I’ve been told many times that my parameters are far from the model ones and I have to lose some weight. Many agents said it would be difficult for me to become a model. For example, my hips are 115 cm, which is much more than the model standard. I’ve had many unsuccessful castings but still managed to start my modeling career. You’re a professional lawyer, therefore, you work in the jurisprudence sphere. How do you manage to combine two completely different activities? It has been 9 years since I started developing in these two completely different areas. I combined my studies, work, and modeling. Modeling has become for me a source of joy, my inspiration. Jurisprudence made me strong and responsible, it taught me to take business seriously. For 5 years, modeling and jurisprudence have been intertwined in my life, and I enjoyed developing in both areas. Of course, deep inside I was worried that I still had to choose only one activity. We know that you are not just a model, but also a former catwalk teacher at a modeling school. Tell us about this experience, what did you feel while teaching the young models? The first thing you pay attention to when you first see a person is his eyes. They always show the energy of a person, his inner strength. If you have passion in your eyes and are ready to work 24/7, this is the key to success. Unfortunately, not every girl has what it takes to become

a model. It is not enough just to walk down the catwalk and be able to pose beautifully. You can spend many years modeling without leaving time for your personal life or even losing it. Therefore, girls who come to model school should be aware of this. The modeling business is tough. Despite your success in modeling, you still haven’t made it your main job. Why? Yes, it’s true, but I didn’t dedicate my whole life to jurisprudence as well. For me, real success in the modeling business means no less than becoming the face of a world-class brand or participating in Victoria’s Secret show. Everything else is just a regular job, which is not easy at all. You must see the endpoint, the goal which you’d like to achieve. If for some reason you cannot achieve it, and all that remains is the wasted years, can you call it happiness? I don’t think so. That is why at 22 I made my choice in favor of my personal life. Creating a family after 35 wasn’t my pattern. By that time, I managed to work in both areas (modeling and jurisprudence) and understood the prospects for potential development. Everyone knows that a model means not only a height and parameters but also a unique perception of the world and a state of mind. What can modeling give to both a girl who dreams of a modeling career and a girl who considers modeling to be a hobby? The most important thing that modeling can give is self-confidence. You learn to understand that you’re unique and beautiful. This is important for everyone: schoolgirls, students, women. Modeling helps to awake women’s inner energy and charisma. This is exactly the basis that will help the girl to position herself in the world. Of course, if you do modeling professionally, it brings a good income, allows you to see the world and meet interesting people. mover-magazine.com  29

You have three wonderful children. What is the top priority for you not just as a model but as a married woman who is a mom? Of course, the time spent with my family is my top priority now. The greatest value for me is the opportunity to fully devote myself to my children. Raising a child is not only a big responsibility for his health, development but also huge financial costs. I‘m so grateful to my husband that I can see the first steps of my children, hear their first words, watch how they grow. Most things can be taught only by parents. This is a model of behavior, a family model, the ability to correctly assess the situation. We teach our children how to behave in certain situations and with this knowledge they enter adulthood. Only mother and father can teach a child everything that he needs. Children are not only our continuation but also our reflection. A large family is always difficult because each of its members requires attention. Did you manage to come up with a formula for how to successfully combine motherhood with work and your favorite hobby? My activities will never run counter to the interests of my family. Everyone should feel good and happy: you, your children, your husband. I believe that the family is a single organism. You can be a successful and independent person, but your work should be aimed at the well-being of the whole family and the realization of common goals. Of course, you should feel the support of loved ones. If this does not happen, you need to talk, look for the reason and solution to the problem together. Family is your ultimate strength.

Family is  your ultimate strength

After the birth of your third child, a baby boy, your life has changed. You used to completely devote yourself to your family, but this time you wanted to become a more social person. Why did it happen exactly after the birth of your son? After the birth of my son, I felt fulfillment and satisfaction. I finally found harmony with myself and with the world. There was a sense of fulfillment in the family sphere. I’m very proud to have three children at the age of 27. My family has a whole life ahead to achieve any goals. It was this fulfillment that gave me the power to return to my usual way of life. Tatiana, you’re a man of the family. Have you had any magazine publications or projects related to children and family? Yes, I had a photoshoot for PRIME One magazine in February 2021. I was a star of Mom’s Happiness magazine section. We know that you have several projects that are yet to come. Are they related to modeling or have you decided to try yourself in a completely new sphere? Over the past 5 years, my family has moved quite often. I was lucky to meet one person who is the complete opposite of mine. We became friends and together we created the Land of Flowers project, which is actively developing at the moment. I‘m always glad to try something new. My second project is individual, it’s the Tom Tailor clothing store. You’re a happy wife and mother. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Are you planning to continue modeling? I believe speaking about goals and plans has no sense, so I prefer speaking about my achievements. Some of my projects may be associated with modeling as well. Everything depends on what I will be offered.

WOMEN’S DRESS as an ART: 4 greatest collabs in fashion history

Once upon a time, French monarch Louis XIV, who otherwise known as the King of Couture, pronounced the following words that became the holy gospel of truth in fashion for centuries to come: “Fashion is the mirror of history.” Our clothing has, indeed, always been a reflection of our society and history, always reacting to every major social movement, be it war or rethinking of human sexuality and gender. What can immortalize the women’s beauty better than delicate artistic skills? Let’s delve into the past together and discover some haute couture masterpieces, created with world-wide famous knights of the brush.

Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dali “Lobster dress” (1937) When roaring 20s had passed the baton to a new decade, there followed a new verge of aesthetic shock for couture lovers. Now all of the gossips, mixed with shock and delight, swirled around the Italian-born French couturière Elsa Schiaparelli. Her garments represented the cat-in-the-hat and were practically screaming Schiaparelli’s rebellious character. Despite a worth-delight tailoring skills, Elsa preferred to walk to the beat of her own drum. And so, Paris had nothing to do expect to cordially welcome the eccentric designer into their fashion circles with her fuchsia shade evening gowns, frivolous clasps and buttons shaped as astrological signs, and shabby shoes on top of the lady-like hat. It was therefore not surprising that Schiaparelli’s whimsical designs caught the eye of an equally whimsical surrealist, the genious-to-the-veryElsa Schiaparelli (up) absurd painter Salvador Dali. and Salvador Dali (left) 38  mover-magazine.com

The Spanish artist met Schiaparelli un the beginning of the 30s during one of the many secular Paris events. Unsurprisingly, the duo instantly got very close and ventured into a crazily flamboyant, what was to become historic, collaboration. While it is difficult to choose the most outstanding piece of the collaboration between the two, the most popular one was and still undoubtedly is the appetizing Lobster Dress. The lobster motif came from the theme that Dali had previously cultivated in his own work, which included 1936’s Lobster Telephone and was influenced by the work of Sigmund Freud. That’s how a sculpture-looking column gown with lobster art printed onto the silk organza dress was conceived by master silk designer Sache. A-line evening gown with a sheer coral inset below the bust that creates a slight empire-waist silhouette. Incidentally, the lobster dress made several reappearances in the 21st century, while being particularly loved by Miuccia Prada.

Scott Paper Company and Andy Warhol Souper Dress (1966) The end of the 1950s marked the birth of pop art culture that was initially intended to make luxury pieces more affordable. Leading American fashion companies then strived to collaborate with artistic trendsetters who were capable of predicting the crush list of the youth around the globe. In fact, most objectively successful fashion project was launched by America’s largest marketer of sanitary issues – in 1966 Scott Paper Co. introduced disposable clothing as a promotion gimmick with a sleeveless shift selling for $1.00 and sold 500,000 dresses in 8 months. That new line became a hot potato in the fashion industry, because of the canvas, inspired by Andy Warhols’s Campbell’s Soup Cans (1962). Not long after future the company expanded its line to include bell-bottom jumpsuits, evening gowns, aprons, men’s vests, children’s dresses, and even swimming trunks.

Prada and Christophe Chemin Spring-Summer 2016 Collaborating with artists is popular even today and the very eloquent example is Prada’s Spring-Summer collection 2016. In January Miuccia Prada and her design team plucked Berlin-based Frenchman Christophe Chemin out of near obscurity to create ink and pencil illustrations for the upcoming collection of the brand. The self-taught artist drew a series of mythic images from classical sources and the 20th century, depicting Jeanne d’Arc, Che Guevara, Nina Simone, Hercules and more famous people from here and beyond. Those couples were locked in tight embraces, seeming to ballet and brawl at the same time. However, the most eccentric and feverish one is a welcome-for-spy-on passionate kiss of Cleopatra and James Deane. All of those canvas fantasies, merged with a cloth folds, pulled heartstrings of either tempted art lovers or just curious passers-by.

Yves Saint Laurent and Piet Mondrian 1965 Until 60s, all of the skirt and dresses fell below the knee have been waiting to get kinky. This dream was granted by a British designer Mary Quant, who for nowadays is known an inventor of mini length. As we know, every life-changing piece of wardrobe evolves through many interpretations. The legend of post-World War II couturière Yves Saint Laurent did it really well. He had the ability to seize trends and render them iconic. The Mondrian collection, represented in 1965, proved the aforesaid statement. As a vauyrist, Yves Saint Laurent had invariably captured the ambitious artists to transfer their work into his gowns. So back to that season, he was inspired by the leading contributor to De Stijl art movement Piet Mondrian. The basic form used by the group was rectangle; the basic colors: red, blue and yellow. Thus, Saint Lauren created a simple cut jersey shift dress falling straight from shoulder to knee and it was used as a canvas for exhibiting the work of Mondrian. Many years later French designer continued to engage with modern art and contemporary pop culture, namely with Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenshtien.

I completed military service and after that had a really hard time getting my commercial apprenticeship because the German language wasn’t easy for me. I met my best friends here, so we created the Glory boys family consisting of Thomas & Francois Akpaloo, Williams Mac, Sedic, and Raiz. After that, I met the man who changed my whole life. It was Reiner Wolpers, a photographer from Emotion Art Photographer. He took me to different kinds of photoshoots which were my first shoots. Reiner also helped me to realize that even though I’m not a professional model, I still can inspire people with my personality and positive vibrations that I bring out with the pictures we make. We act just how we think, so that’s why some people become real legends: they just set such a goal. I want my name and image to be unforgettable too. You know, many successful people had a really hard childhood. Can you tell us what influenced you? My family influenced and still influences me very much. I don’t think that I want to talk about it much because this topic is very personal, but my family definitely makes me stronger. I’m really thankful that God quickly showed me that life can be unfair, however, you still have to appreciate it, and if you want to make it better, you need to fight because nobody will do it for you. You’re pretty young but seem to be a very experienced person. What’s your main life achievement? What did you learn to date? I believe that every day is a big achievement, however, I haven’t made my biggest ones yet. I’m just on the way to it. What I learned is that nobody will work for you to achieve your goals. People can help you, but the only one who makes the dreams come true is yourself. Of course, some sacrifices have to be made, but that’s life and we have to follow its rules.

| PEOPLE We know that you like kickboxing and it’s one of your favorite hobbies. Have you ever wanted to become a professional kickboxer? Kickboxing and Muay Thai boxing are the best things that happened in my life. When I’m at the training, I feel the true balance: I can use all my body either to defend myself or to face problems and find out the way to survive. I’ve participated in several boxing fights, however, I didn’t like it much because, in kickboxing or Muay Thai, you have so many opportunities to use your legs or elbows or to use different types of combinations, so you can be creative. During the ring fight, you only have to make some typical combinations and that’s not interesting for me. Boxing is like real life: when you face difficulties, you need to use all your skills to prove to yourself that you can be on top. You should prove yourself that you can be the king of the ring and the king of your life and make choices without remorse because in the end you’ll find yourself fighting to survive and becoming your own king. Why did you choose Germany to stay in? I chose Germany because my nationality is German and I like challenges as well. The German language is pretty hard for me but I decided to try to learn it, why not? I like trying everything new in life, so Germany is another opportunity for me to do it. French is my second language while my native language is Eve. By the way, I speak four different languages. I recognized one interesting fact about the German people: they are really hard-working. Since my childhood in my native country, we have recognized German people as hard workers. My dad has been working hard too. He moved to my native country to start a new life there and I was inspired by his experience. It’s not easy at all, as sometimes I even fall asleep while trying to finish my essay or work at night. However, I still like challenges and that’s why I’m in Germany now. Do you have any role models or people that inspire you? My first role models are my family members: my mom, and my dad. I’m also extremely proud of my younger brother Maximilian Wiedemann, who is a great basketball player in my native country. They are pretty far away from me now but they live their best lives in Lomé, Togo. At the moment, I’m inspired by Israel Adesanya, a UFC fighter who is very focused on his goals. I also really like Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock, who currently works with the Under Armour brand which is my favorite brand. The Rock’s life experience really inspires me not to give up, live every day to become a better person than I was yesterday, and try to keep smiling even if you have hard times. You have experience of working for Tesla. Tell us about this cooperation. Working for Tesla Motor Germany in Munich is amazing. You quickly learn new things, that is you learn to take responsibility and think ahead. You also learn to manage stress and become as flexible as possible. Working for Tesla is a big challenge because we grow and develop every month, but I like challenges and the Tesla company has enough of it.

How can you develop yourself within the Tesla company? Is it a fast process? In the Tesla company, you can develop really quickly, but it depends on how much motivation, self-control, and attitude you have. I have colleagues who do their best for the sake of the company, we have a strong team spirit and together we can handle stress and go forward no matter what. We are hungry for success and are ready to face any kind of difficulties. As a colleague of mine says, “We don’t have problems, we have challenges and for any challenge, we have solutions.” Thank you, Rafael, Nazari, Winnie, Dieter, Baba, Sameer, Carlo, Boss Sven, and Tesla Team Munich! Are you going to become professional with your blog? In fact, that is why I’m here. If there is an opportunity, I won’t let it go, I will use it. Do you have any plans on improving your skills in sales or developing yourself as an influencer? I want to improve both things. I believe that social media will be important in the future, and I want to be a part of it. Sales are the best way to learn how to sell yourself and what you do. Sales taught me to be a many-sided person because the world changes every day and you have to keep up with it. What’s your main life goal? Where do you see yourself in 5 years? That’s a really good question. Since I learned how to walk and breathe, my main life goal has been working hard for my future, just doing it, because nobody will do it for me. I can’t tell what will happen to me in 5 years because of the coronavirus outbreak, however, I’m sure that I won’t give up. I will work to achieve what I want even if I need to make some sacrifices until people remember my name and know who I am and where I come from. I’m Jean-René Wiedemann, you should remember my name. At the moment, I would like to concentrate on my goals, while remembering where I came from. I haven’t finished it yet, but step by step, I learn to love who I am. Some people may say that I’m quite a frivolous person because I look like a playboy but I’m actually not him, I swear. I just like to be different and I always say that I’m different. My childhood wasn’t easy at all but I keep on going, looking for success and options to get on top. I work for everything that I can have in life. I like obstacles because I can fight to overcome them.

Anastasiya Vasileva

The founder of art evenings “Art Create”

art_create_msk

62  mover-magazine.com


Anastasiya, art evenings are a relatively new type of event. How did you come up with the idea of organizing them? Once my friend invited me to a private exhibition of a contemporary artist. At the exhibition, I managed not just to enjoy amazing paintings but to chat with interesting people and find out about their leisure activities. This meeting has inspired me so much that I realized that I wanted to dream big. I always wanted to do something bigger than routine office work. That’s how I came up with the idea of creating art evenings dedicated to the visualization of our dreams on canvas. It sounds great! Could you tell us a little bit more about your idea? What’s the goal of your art evenings? I think many of you have heard about the vision boards. Some people create such boards for themselves every year, and after a while, they just put it away and forget about what they dream of, what they want to achieve. Basically, the main goal of our art evenings is to paint your dream on canvas under the sensitive guidance of professional artists. Your painting is your dream! By painting it, you’re already putting your strength and positive energy into it. By practicing visualization, you can achieve your goals much faster. Art evenings are held in the city’s luxurious restaurants. At the same time, we do not teach to draw, but create a festive atmosphere. Beautiful people, stylish pictures, new acquaintances. As a creative person, you should definitely have your source of inspiration. What inspires you so far? I get inspired by aesthetics and beautiful things, even a cup of tasty coffee that I drink in the morning! I’m inspired by extremely interesting people and their personal stories. I love books, the sea, the moments of unity with nature, traveling — all these things give me a sense of freedom and newness.

We know that you’ve been doing painting since childhood. Do you have any favorite paintings or artists? It’s difficult for me to choose only several paintings or artists. I love painting and contemporary art. I regularly visit museums, exhibitions, and galleries. I find Frida Kahlo to be a very inspiring artist. Her story is just fascinating. I‘m also delighted with the paintings of Ivan Aivazovsky, the marine painter. Among my favorite artists is Gustav Klimt and his The Kiss and Golden Adele paintings.

It is not always easy to become an organizer of this kind of events, as it requires persistence and self-confidence. Who supports you? Can you say that you’re grateful to anyone? First of all, I’m grateful to my parents. Since early childhood, my father and mother have laid the right foundation in me and cultivated a love of art and sports. After school, when all the children were playing in the playground, I was going to the school of art to paint. When did you develop your creativity? Have you been creative since childhood? Yes, I have been painting since I was 7 years old. I have two degrees: a state and municipal administration degree, and a fine arts degree. I have participated in exhibitions of contemporary art many times. Sometimes it may seem that I‘m my own muse. Well, let it be so, I just enjoy this life! Nowadays it’s not always easy for an independent woman to find love. Is it difficult for you to build relationships with men while being a self-sustained person? No, it’s not difficult. It’s important to stay feminine, joyful, and light. Do what you like and don’t try to compete with men. It seems to me that modern women literally kill the art of being coquettish. Nowadays we see rudeness and vulgarity in women. They often don’t allow themselves to be flirty because they’re afraid of being misunderstood. If we’re talking about a businesswoman, she especially doesn’t want to look frivolous. Ladies, keep that twinkle in your eyes and believe in love!

The marathon of fashion weeks is over, but creative silage is still pulsing in the air. Despite the pandemic that had imprisoned the majority of shows inside the digital dimension, we all got the generous portion of runway’s larger-than-life clothing and accessories. Today let’s talk about hats, which might either provoke heart attacks or impress even the most wordly-wise aesthetes.

TEAR or WEAR? The Strangest Hats Captured on Runway

70  mover-magazine.com


| FASHION

A

s you may know, historically hats were not an optional choice, especially for women. In the Middle Ages, even, women that sported a bald head were often accused of witchcraft, with their lives sadly ending while burning in a bonfire. After many centuries, hats have become a boasting accessory. The more embellished with gems and artificial flowers your hat is, the more society respects your taste and wealth. Now rules are topsy-turvy, so without further ado, think whether you would wear or tear…

MAX MARA’S — Waterproof Veil Ian Griffiths, creative director of Max Mara, votes for indispensable romance and elegance in womens attire, but doesn’t mind playing around with layering. This time he diversified well-known-Italian classics with mutagenic accessories. No, we dont judge tweed gatsby hats – they undoubtedly look cool. What about that stitched piece of water-proof fabric, that looks like a wedding veil, but serves as a pointed hood from pouring rain? Well, rather practical for sailing marriage.

Alberta Ferretti — Bolero-Top-Hat Brave cowboys, culturally diverse Native Americans and fearless toreadors have always been a source of inspiration for women’s wear, especially on the rise of feminism. At the start of February 2021, Alberta Ferretti chose British designer Natalie Ratabesi as the new creative director, a job she knew she’d do well. Not long after, flamboyant turtlenecks and elongated capes were crowned with revived-and-rethought Bolero hat. Unlike its Spanish ancestor, Alberta Ferretti’s creations have bothered-to-see breems and some features of gentlemen’s top hat.

MOSCHINO — Dolly Fedoras In the last century, Franco Moschino manifested that fashionable clothing and accessories must amuse and saturate frequently boring reality with absurd attires made of teddy bears and anything you can find in the living room or in the trash can. The current creative director Jeremy Scott keeps that deliberately absurd line, reviving nostalgic styles and having fun with fairytale prints and details. Despite the proper runway show being turned into a cartoon background with grotesque posing, fashion-lovers got bewildered anyway. Who could stay indifferent seeing Hailey Bieber, dressed like tomboy mafiosi with diminished Fedora, attached to brilliantined hair? Make a note if you want a breath of freshness in the office dress code.

Emilia Wickstead — Trained Floppy Hats Talking about British designers, there hard to capture hints on avangard beside Vivienne Westwood or Matty Bovan. However, Central Saint Martins graduate Emilia Wickstead, who is currently known for her modern silhouettes, strong use of colour and traditional tailoring, gobsmacked those conservative anticipations. As usual, she skilfully rejuvenated 30-s style dresses and old-classic single-breasted-overcoat, but the main achievement were christened rare-but-dear floppy hats. Suddenly the famous bohemian accessory learned how to speak British and grew the felt train as after the show the models were invited to join Queen Elisabeth’s tea party.

Anna Sui — Fluffy Buckets Unsurprisingly, the parade of hats ends up with Anna Sui’s naively daring lookbook. The american designer glorified her name creating kind of weird and very youthful clothing with dazzling prints, that any anime character would wear with pleasure. The cheerful mood does not disappear even in the pandemic since Sui once again offered us her selection of bucket hats with sprouted colorful fur. You choose to wear or tear those creations, but fluffy buckets tend to perfectly match an oversized quilted coat.

THE HOTTEST ‘SS 21 TRENDS that every fashionista must rock

2 MONOCHROME DRESS We don’t want you to see the world in black and white only, however, designers don’t agree with us. The trendiest dresses of the SS’21 season are only black or white with no halftones. These colors suit everyone and get along with each other well, both in bold mini dresses and luxurious evening gowns.

Dior Tie-dye jacket

TIE-DYE PRINT

This print sets us into a cheerful summer mood. Designers decided to remember the hippie legacy, while tie-dye print is still on the top of the fashion agenda. This season, ethnic-style blouses and dresses have bright and bold tie-dye prints on them. The items look like a tribute to the iconic 1970-s, which we definitely like!

3

CROPPED BLOUSE The crop top is still trendy, however, designers went further and successfully transformed the top into a sexy yet feminine blouse. The most trending models are complemented by puffy sleeves, laces, or decorative knots.

BRIGHT STRIPES. The most reputable fashion houses of London, Paris and Milan made the summer collections even brighter with the help of bright stripes. Among the fans of this rainbow print were Versace, Adeam, and Christian Dior. Frankly speaking, we missed such a color boom so we can’t be happier with the new collections!

No color can be more cheerful than orange. It’s the color of ripe Sicilian oranges, fresh fruit sorbet, and traffic cones. Lust for adventures – that what inspired designers to actively use an orange palette. Issey Miyake and Sportmax chose orange shades for their dresses, while Versace and Jason Wu offered a bright orange total look.

LINGERIE AS A WARDROBE ITEM

The winter was really long and you may have a vitamin D deficiency. That’s no problem, as designers suggest solving this issue in their creative way: in the spring-summer collections, there is a huge number of bra tops and micro-shorts, which together with other items, have become full members of the fashionable wardrobe. Among the brands which love lingerie, style are Miu Miu, Chanel, and Alberta Ferretti.

THE BEST NEW FASHION SHOWS locations and designs Designers have always been innovative when it comes to fashion shows, however, the previous year has left them truly inspired. In this article, we will tell you about the most fascinating fashion shows, theirs locations, and the intricacies of the featured designs.

CHANEL RESORT 2022 For its new Resort 2022 collection Chanel drew its inspiration from a movie, like many brands today do. Namely, the “Testament of Orpheus”, shot by no other than a famous director and a close friend of Coco Chanel, Jean Cocteau. Just like the movie, the collection was almost entirely black and white. The fashion show meanwhile was staged on the very set where the movie was originally shot in the 1960s – in the abandoned quarry of Carrières de Lumières in Provence.

The snow white background perfectly fit the atmosphere of this fashion show: creative director Virginie Viard embraced the contrast of black and white and the sensuality of the French style with the aesthetics of punk by showcasing combined crochet and leather, fringe and denim, tweed and mesh, mini-skirts and knitted capes, cropped jackets and wide-leg pants, tweed suits, dresses in prints and feathers.

DIOR PRE-FALL 2021 After months of eating one delivered pizza after another while wearing loungewear at home, many of us can admit to missing the party season. Luckily, Maria Grazia Chiuri decided to make Dior Pre-Fall show as festive as possible by focusing on bright colors, metallic materials, and animal prints all inspired by pop art. The show took place in Shanghai, where the catwalk decorated with leopard print and bright gleaming images in disco style attracted a large number of spectators despite the pandemic. “Shine!” said the motto of this Dior collection. Shimmering silver skirts, suits, and coats apparently weren’t enough to create the right mood, so Grazia Chiuri presented other extra­ordinary items embroidered with large colored sequins, psychedelic flowers on a black sweater, patent leather. The iconic Bar jacket this time was made from the checked silk and Toile de Jouy fabric in an unusual greenish-yellow color. 78  mover-magazine.com

RALPH LAUREN SPRINGSUMMER 2021 Ralph Lauren is called the “King of American Fashion” for a reason, and this season he once again proved his title right. After its triumph in the 1920s, Art Deco finally made its grand return to fashion by being featured in the new Ralph Lauren collection in a form of a black and white film in the style of old Hollywood. The designer was inspired by calm earth tones and and by reserved, yet feminine silhouettes. The brand ambassador Janelle Monáe performed several jazz hits at the brand’s Beverly Hills flagship. Relaxing lounge jazz and a parade of 1920s styles transported everyone back in time, when black and white movies were in and fashion was as whimsical as ever: retro dresses and pleated skirts: the collection’s retro dresses, pleated skirts in earthy shades, striped jackets, florals, and sequined evening wear were all you need to create your own retroinspired style.

Sustainable fashion: what is it and why is it important?

80  mover-magazine.com

At the moment, the fashion industry continues to be one of the most environmentally hazardous industries, along with the oil industry. We’ve been buying clothes without thinking of how it was produced for ages. Now everything has changed, as lockdown gave many people opportunities to reflect on many important things that they haven’t thought about before the pandemic. In this article, we’ll reveal the essence of sustainable fashion and its goals

Scandinavia has long been concerned about the pollution problems caused by the global fashion industry. Back in 2009, at the Copenhagen Fashion Summit, participants spoke about the problem of low environmental friendliness and non-ethical production of clothing and insisted on the introduction of sustainable fashion development principles on practice for corporations and fashion brands. 10 years later, almost all fashion brands have embraced the concept of sustainable development. All over the world, designers and entire fashion corporations strive for cooperation, searching for new ideas on how to make fashion more ethical. The result is a set of rules for business, fashion, and everyday life. The concept that unites these rules and becomes the main trend in the development of the fashion industry is called “sustainable fashion”. Sustainable fashion means nothing but awareness and care of oneself, other people, and the environment.


| FASHION

Sustainable fashion has several main principles, knowing which, you can understand the essence of this concept. 1. Responsible use of human and natural resources. Sustainable brands only use safe materials to create their collections. They don’t hide information about the conditions for making clothes and guarantee a safe organization of work and fair pay. 2. Second life of ready-made items. This means buying pre-loved clothing at charity sales, second-hand and flea markets, as well as at resell points. For these purposes, there are also specialized websites, social media groups, platforms, and related applications such as Poshmark, Tradesy, ThredUP, etc. 3. Recycling waste and items for the manufacture of new ones. Manufacturers strive to reduce the amount of textile waste by using recyclable and renewable resources and materials. They release clothing collections created using new technologies from recycled materials. 4. Mending things instead of buying new ones. Most things can be mended instead of buying new ones.

Stella McCartney Being a vegetarian (just like her father, Paul McCartney), Stella McCartney can be called a pioneer of the ecomovement in the sphere of luxury fashion. The ethical principles of designer have been put in practice since 2001. They include refusal of leather and natural fur, use of organic cotton, and avoiding strong chemical dyes. Considering her social responsibility, Stella, together with her father, Paul, initiated the Meat Free Monday program. Stella McCartney shows off the world's first clothes made from mushroom leather. Mylo's Mycelium Leather is a sustainable alternative to plastic-made artificial leather.

People Tree Just like the previous brand, People Tree was established in 2001. Unlike most eco-brands, this one became popular pretty fast. It happened thanks to the personality of its creator, Safia Minney, who is considered to be the founder of the Fair Trade movement designed to help producers in growing countries achieve sustainable and equitable trade relationships. People Tree doesn’t use aggressive fabric dyes or synthetic fabrics, preferring recycled materials. The brand’s items are produced exclusively in the countries of Southeast Asia. People Tree presented lots of collaborations including those with Thakoon, Topshop, and actress Emma Watson, whom Safia sent to Bangladesh in order to shoot in the fashion campaign.

Katharine E Hamnett Katharine Hamnett is a famous rebel in the fashion industry. She always considered design to be a means of her views’ expression. She even wore the T-shirt with “58% DON’T WANT PERSHING” print to her meeting with Margaret Thatcher, protesting against the deployment of missiles in England. However, she paid little attention to sustainability, until she went to Mali on an excursion to cotton farms. She was horrified by the work conditions that she saw there and soon launched a campaign to eco-educate the fashion industry, however, it wasn’t a success.

84  mover-magazine.com

In 2004, Hamnett relaunched her brand making it eco-friendly. That’s how the “E” letter appeared in its name. Since then, Katarine has only cooperated with fair trade organic cotton and trusted suppliers. At the moment, she completely controls production and works only with like-minded people. This year, the designer created a line of jewelry made from ethically mined gold and diamonds for the Cred brand, the first European fair-trade jewelry retailer. Besides, Katharine presented a capsule collection of beachwear for Yooxygen, a joint project of Yoox.com and Green Cross International.

Enamore Initially, Jenny Ambrose designed womenswear made of vintage fabrics, however, the designer quickly realized that lingerie was in the greatest demand, so in her studio in Bath she started making luxurious lingerie styled in 50s Hollywood glamour. After the Estethica Exhibition at London Fashion Week, Ambrose realized that it was the right decision. Jenny managed to quickly develop and grow her business despite the high cost of linen made from organic fabrics (mainly bamboo, cotton, silk, and soy). The brand purchases fabrics only from certified suppliers in Turkey, the USA, and England. Thanks to her teaching activities, Jenny gives fabrics that can’t be used in the production of the collection to aspiring designers.

During a time of self-isolation, we were unable to personally interact with resources that bring inspiration and let your soul get high of excitement. Now the global situation is finally waking up from Covid-19 restrictions, thus we got an honor to make an acquaintance with revolutionary space Kupol Gallery, an ambitious project, launched by collector Olga Shepelskaya and art critic Victoria Mikhopulu. Let’s see how Russian ladies magically rediscover the talent of staunch defenders of creativity, transferring values of the elite culture to modern grassroots cravings. The story of Kupol Gallery was born a while ago, since a recognition that lots of genius artists, even despite the fact their masterpieces deeply intertwined Russian culture, are most well-known and esteemed abroad. Victoria Michopulu got flamed with the idea to tell about demiurges in her motherland and cherished this wish all of her student, modern, and art critics years. Three generations of her family collected paintings, furniture, and other art objects around the Earth, so the aesthetic spirit permanently pulsed at home. You probably guess it's hard to keep silent when your heartstrings are pulled and crave to spread the music, so other people hear and get in the same state of excitement. But which of the artists flamed the most vibrant spark of excitement? The name of this contemporary Russian-born British painter

KUPOL MOSCOW BASED GALLERY WHICH MAKES ART WORLD ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE

90  mover-magazine.com

is Yuri Kuper, and he has achieved unbelievable success and recognition in the West. It's hard to imagine the human flesh and blood with such an insatiable curiosity that conquered, tamed so many art styles. Rigorous formal art training has allowed him to vary freely from illusionistic rendering to mixed-media collage. Dare-devil nonchalance, omnipresent mind, and passion to accept any challenge made him a fascinating and inspirational figure for either high and bohemian society or street-stalkers. No wonder that back in 2019, when Kupol Gallery Team, led by an immense wish to refill their gallery collection, visited Kuper’s art studio, they wanted hidden to be marveled anew. And that happened. Hitherto Kuper has exhibited with Serge Sorokko Gallery in San Francisco, Kournikova Gallery in Moscow, Galerie Patrice Trigano in Paris, and others. Thus on 5th June of 2021, there happened a solemn comeback. The Academy of Fine Arts of Florence reopened its doors to visitors to the Sfumato exhibition, whose work was suspended for 3 months due to the epidemiological situation in Italy. With the participation of the Kupol Gallery Team, there were presented - paintings, books, and video installations of scenography for the cycle of theatrical performances "Metamorphoses". They reflected the connection of contemporary Russian art with Russian cultural identity, spiritual traditions, and biblical stories. The Italian public, the artistic community, and the media were delighted, which is not surprising because the art of Yuri Kuper as a painter and set designer is deeply in tune with our era. It reveals the inner essence of simple things and familiar phenomena, reveals general philosophical laws in them, speaks of the unity of the world. The inspirational Italian stir around Kuper’s talent led Kupol Gallery Team to organize even the most ambitious and pampered exhibition, which will prolong the anniversary exhibition tour. At the end of October 2020, the exhibition "My Theater" was held at the National Museum of the Chechen Republic. It was timed to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the artist and included a series of works created by Kuper for theater and theatrical performances. Throughout his life, the artist was fascinated by the search for a new theatrical language. He developed the idea of ​​scenography, his own special space, which became the philosophy of life. Yuri Kuper models the future performance, dictating certain laws to it in turn. We see all this in the scenes of large-scale theatrical performances of the opera by J. Bizet such as “Carmen”, "Eugene Onegin", at the Samara Academic Opera and Ballet Theater (stage director – Vladimir Petrov). It is impossible not to mention the work


| PEOPLE

of Yuri Kuper on the opera “Boris Godunov” staged by A. Sokurov for the Bolshoi Theater. Refined decorations and a relief backdrop create the depth of the stage space, giving the feeling of an airy perspective like the artist himself noted – the tapestry turned out to be almost “architectural”. The light was truly a miracle of the technique of this performance. Unique devices were purchased specially for the production, which provided a volumetric video projection. Worth mentioning the embossed curtain for the performance with absolutely naturalistic steppe grasses swaying in the wind against the background of a stormy sky, along which low clouds are slowly floating, represented by moving volumetric projections of a thickening haze, deserves a separate mention. The curtain seems to be multi-layered, and behind the tall grasses on the netting, the forest, depicted on the second level with the sky, is almost invisible. Afterward, it was impossible to stop representing masterpieces that deserved to be relieved over and over again. So the jubilee project “And I Preach Stones...” which became the final part of the cycle of anniversary projects by Yuri Kuper, was solemnly opened in the exhibition halls of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. In addition to paintings, the audience сontemplated unique books with the author lithography and hand-made work in exquisite relief bindings: the Old Testament Book of Job and the famous creation of the Book of Ecclesiastes. That is why the Kupol Gallery in the very center of the capital, which promotes young artists, decided to focus on the work of Yuri Kuper. The bright conceptual space attracts not only art collectors and aesthetes, but also

creative youth that enthusiastically turn installations and paintings into a part of digital photography and TikTok videos. To harmonize the vibrant exhibitions, full of animalistic sculptures and frozen-in-motion abstract creatures, Olga Shepelskaya and Victoria Mikhopulu represented many of Kuper’s canvases feature common objects – a spoon, a table, or a brush – attached to them, splattered with paint and seeming to float in a gray void. Artist himself says: “The painting has to hypnotize, in the same way that the surface of the contemplated object hypnotized the painter. Kupol Gallerie guests were in awe from the sincere attitude to objects that help create masterpieces but always stay in the shadow of fame. Same thing about the canvas. Yuri Kuper used to say that no artist can compete with Mother Nature. The most beautiful things were already created, and our mission is to keep them alive. At the exhibition “Growing from the Surface”, the image of a flower becomes a characteristic element of the composition. The artist paints flowers and grayish as if frozen in space and time, depicting from singles or grouping them into bouquets. To create his paintings, Kuper uses antique wooden surfaces, the texture of which itself suggests contours, strokes, and scale. Haze images give the image a mysticism as if we are looking at a world that wants to escape from an inquisitive gaze. But that's just the beginning before you meet with Yuri Kuper.

Elena Kerina Elena Kerina is a young woman who isn’t afraid to try herself in new activities, successfully combining work as a PR specialist in the pharmaceutical industry, producing music label projects, writing her book, and modeling. Besides, she‘s a plus-size contestant of the Miss Sapphire World beauty contest. Elena told MOVER about her motivating life experience, plans for the near future, and gave invaluable advice to those who would like to start something new but are held back


Elena, you call yourself multifaceted person: you are keen on music, modeling, writing books, programming, PR... How do you manage to find time for all your hobbies, while trying yourself in new areas? One day I received a piece of advice from one of my favorite musicians, Ozzy Osbourne. He told me, “If you love something, don’t give it up.” It seems to me that if you are fascinated by something, then under any circumstances you will find the time and opportunity to do it. I believe that any job means creativity, so that’s why it’s not difficult for me to master new areas. You have a rather rare and very specific professional industry which is advertising and PR in pharmaceuticals. How did you start to develop yourself in this area, what made you do this? Having received a bachelor’s degree in pharmaceuticals, I wanted to receive a master’s degree in another sphere, so I actively studied projects related to PR campaigns in the music industry. However, then I realized that advertising and PR are underdeveloped in the sphere of pharmaceuticals, so I decided to try myself in this area. My thesis was dedicated to this topic. It took me several years to put my ideas into practice, but unfortunately, I didn’t find any other specialists in this industry. Therefore, I decided to educate students in my Alma mater. Perhaps in the future, I will be able to develop a full methodology for PR specialists in the field of pharmaceuticals. You mentioned that at the moment you’re concentrated on making music and starting a music label. Tell us more about this. I have been engaged in the music industry for a long time. I played in a band and wrote songs, but frankly speaking, I always liked solving organizational issues more. Now I have decided to make my childhood dream come true, so I learn to play the drums kit. Yes, I’m producing projects for the Chudesound music label. The main task of the label is to encourage artists to realize themselves. This can be both the support of those who are just starting their journey, and the famous musicians who want to do something outside their usual stylistic framework. We know that at the moment you’re also writing a book. What will it be about? Who or what was your inspiration? The book is dedicated to acceptance and awareness, primarily of oneself, as well as of other people. Besides, my book is a tribute to the writer Irwin Welch and his cult novel, because

the main character of my book tries to understand himself precisely through associations with the heroes of Welch’s novels. Two things have inspired me. Firstly, this is all that is happening to people now, because we live in a very interesting and difficult time. Secondly, it’s a soul musical genre, the history of which is also very fascinating. You have recently started participating in photography projects and entered the Miss Sapphire World competition in the plus-size category. How did you start your modeling journey? Like most things in my life, this is a lucky coincidence. My friend offered to take a couple of photos in boots that she gave me. She said they would bring me luck. One day I saw an ad for Miss Sapphire World and thought: “Why not try myself?” I signed up for the casting and was offered to become the face of the project in the plussize category. How did you feel when you participated in such a major beauty contest? Who supported you? Of course, at first, I doubted and felt embarrassed. Everything was unusual for me: beautiful people, a new place, strange movements, wearing heels... The scale of the competition also made me a little bit nervous, but it quickly passed and I started feeling comfortable. I was supported by everyone: my parents, relatives, colleagues, friends. They said to me: “Just do it! Don’t you know you can? Have no doubt!” You entered Miss Sapphire World at the age of 32. What advice can you give to those who would like to try themselves in the beauty industry, but think that it is too late for them to develop themselves in this sphere? It’s never too late to start something because all limits exist only in our minds. A woman is beautiful at any age, the main thing is to understand and accept this. I admire women who aren’t afraid of their shortcomings and even show them as something special. We only have one life, and it’s better to try than to regret that something has not been done. At the moment, I have no clear plans for the future, but I‘m still going to finish and publish my book, produce several albums and start developing my algorithm for advertising campaigns.

Eli, you picked singing to be your career. Have you always wanted to be a singer or did someone inspire you? It’s always been inside of me. I was the boy who would run around my mother’s house singing all day bothering her. One day, when I was about 9 years old, I was bold enough to call her job and leave a voicemail of me singing “Amazing Grace.” Two weeks later she told me that when she’s down at work, she would listen to that voicemail to uplift her. From that point, I knew this is what I was meant to do. Two years ago you released WHOA, a tribute to the late XXXTentacion. Was Jahseh one of your music idols? XXXTentacion was one of my musical inspirations. He went against the grain, was outgoing, and it’s rare to find an artist that is not subjected to how the world thinks you should be. Recently your «4 All I Love» music video has come out. Tell us about working with Paige Niemann who is an Ariana Grande lookalike. Why did you decide to ask her to be a part of this video? We were connected through a mutual friend who told me she was a fan of my music and she wanted to work with us. My team and I then sat down and thought of a concept that would incorporate her seamlessly into the visual. You’ve just dropped the «Must Be a Dream» single and music video, which is featured on the Netflix Dreams mini-series. Tell us about this experience. I enjoyed this experience. Working with Hardstop Lucas, Dices, and the Executive Producer of Netflix Dreams, WriterBoy, was amazing and I was grateful for the opportunity. I’ve worked with Hardstop Lucas before, we have a song called “Blessings” together. Dices and I have been meaning to work together for some time and this was honestly the perfect opportunity for that.

Do you have any plans on releasing your first album? Perhaps you have any other projects in the works? I am currently working on a 12-song album and I will be releasing my next single within the next two months with a major feature on it. Tell us about your favorite artists a little bit. Are there any that you would like to collaborate with? My favorite is Prince; not just him as an artist, but the person he was. He stood out and challenged the status quo on what it meant to be a man and a musician. As far as collaborations, I would like to work with Frank Ocean. Not only is he a gifted songwriter but he’s an amazing singer. As a person who has been engaged in the music industry for 8 years, what advice can you give to beginner musicians The advice I would give is to always perfect your craft. I tell people all the time that I’m a student. I am always learning and I’m always willing to learn more about music because you can never learn too much about it.

Eli Anderson is the uprising pop star with bold ambitions who works hard in order to get to the top. Eli told us about his latest tracks and music videos, work with Ariana Grande lookalike and musicians that inspire him

How do you feel when realizing that your music videos gain more than 200 k views on YouTube? It’s actually surreal seeing that many people watch my videos, coming from humble beginnings, it just proves that hard work, consistency, and dedication create results even when you don’t see the results early on.

The menu also contains gastronomic codes that are essential for all Mövenpick hotels: Tartare from beef, Reese Casimir with exotic fruit and curry, Zurich veal, and Swiss carrot cake. These dishes are marked with a “seagull” in the menu: it was the seagulls flying to the Zurich Lake, looking for something to eat, which one inspired Ueli Prager, the founder, to name the brand Mövenpick which became the symbol of Mövenpick hotel (the restaurant’s location).

Chronicles of Isolation The works will be shown in chronological order, which will make it possible not only conceptually to preserve the dialogue of artists, but also allow the viewer to pay attention to the regional features of overcoming the problem that engulfed the whole world in 2020 and has not been resolved until now. The artists illustrated by painting everything that every person faced when suddenly being locked up: the growing tension due to isolation from social life, anxiety, procrastination, the search for new hobbies. The exhibition will also showcase the post-isolation works of Vladimir Potapov, completed in 2021, which deonstrate the artist’s reflection on the topic of isolation and the changes that have taken place this year. A continuation of the project will be an exhibition of Vladimir Potapov and Emmanuel Bornstein at the Berlin Crone Gallery in 2022.

pop/off/art gallery presents a new international project of the gallery artist Vladimir Potapov and the Franco-German artist Emmanuel Bornstein «Chronicles of Isolation». The exposition is based on a series of works created by artists during the first wave of the pandemic in Moscow and Berlin. Every day, starting from March 20, 2020, Potapov and Bornstein recorded on paper and canvas the objects around them, rare forays into the grocery store, scenes from everyday life, burdened with a constant stay at home. In conditions of isolation, the artists engaged in a dialogue on the network - they posted pictures of their paintings on Facebook and Instagram, adding comments and reactions to each other’s posts. “Our new way of life is dictated by certain circumstances. It has never been and will never be the same. It is important for us to live this time, to feel all his fears, despair and hopes. We will document our every day, we will do it in the way that we do best - painting. The online diary is a chronicle of isolation, immersed in domestic life, in inner experiences and comprehension of what is happening outside” – Vladimir Potapov. During the isolation period, Vladimir Potapov created 95 works – that is how many days the self-isolation regime lasted in Moscow. Emmanuel Bornstein ended his participation in the project earlier, as soon as the quarantine in Berlin and France ended. During this time, he wrote 52 works. All works of artists, made in isolation, will be presented in the exhibition.
