THE ECLIPSE SERIES

Watchmaking, the art which combines aesthetics and mechanics. On one hand, the aesthetics on the dial of the timepiece, and on the other hand the mechanic which is the heart of the timepiece. An exquisite combination of both creates a luxury watch. The new series that is represented by Antonio Boggati is inspired by the eclipse phenomenon.

An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when one celestial body is temporarily obscured, bypassing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer.

The term eclipse is used to describe a solar or a lunar eclipse which is either total or partial. In this case, the designer Antonio Boggati immortalizes a partial solar eclipse during which the moon covers a part of the sun in an annulus creating a luminous ring. How beautiful and unique, one of the most impressive phenomena of space to be depicted on a watch dial that inhales art and exhales luxury.

"The Eclipse Series" is a series that combines exaggeration, elegance, and luxury. It is a series based on the first series of the brand, "Couple La Paris Series", maintaining the asymmetrical and modern design that is the identity of the Antonio Boggati brand. The series "The Eclipse Series", is a limited edition, with a Swiss movement, sapphire crystal, premium leather, and 316L high-quality steel. All the details inside the watch are embossed with special patterns to create the feeling of space. In order of making it much more stunning, the brand designer added a touch of a pair of two asymmetrical Swarovski elliptical curves to the watch case, creating a work of art.

High Jewelry Signature Collection Lion

Gabrielle Chanel was born under the sign of Leo, her birthdate August 19, 1883. Like the lion, Mademoiselle was majestic, instinctive, radiant, powerful and fiercely protective of the things that were hers.

LION BROOCH A profusion of white diamonds creates a handsome frontal lion, while carefully calculated volumes ensure the most flattering portrait. Handcrafted in 18K white gold*, this High Jewelry brooch represents Leo, Mademoiselle’s zodiac sign. *White gold plated with thin layer of Rhodium for color.

HP MAGAZINE

In 1919, Gabrielle Chanel fled Paris to Venice, the city of the lion, devastated by the loss of her great love, Boy Capel. While there, under the watchful eye of the Lion of Venice, Coco found new inspiration and the courage to go on.

LION RING The ring's majestic pavé-diamond lion, handcrafted in 18K white gold*, stands boldly upon the summit of an internally flawless, custom 5.28-carat Marquise-cut diamond of radiant and staggering beauty. *White gold plated with thin layer of Rhodium for color.

HP MAGAZINE

Throughout her life, Mademoiselle always kept figures of lions, the emblem that would be engraved upon the buttons of tweed suits.

Forever protecting Mademoiselle, the lion is the spirit of CHANEL High Jewelry.

LION NECKLACE A transformable lion necklace begins with a river of diamonds encircling the neck, creating a classic style when worn on its own. The detachable lion is added for a longer, bolder necklace, the Leo sign emblazoned with diamonds, amidst a constellation of pear­cut, oval­cut and cushion­cut diamonds and handcrafted in 18K white gold*. *White gold plated with thin layer of Rhodium for color.

INTERVIEW

INTERVIEW WITH PRISCILA VAZ How would you describe yourself in 3 words? faith, positivity and family What attracted you to begin a career as an actor?

My love for art started early in my life, when I was 7-8 years old I was already passionate about movies and soap operas, I have several homes made videos, in which my family recorded me acting like in a movie. Normally I chose horror scenes to act opposite.

What’s challenging about bringing a script to life? for me, to be honest, the biggest challenge is to record the lines of the text. it's a study and dedication. The imagination in creating a character and bringing life to it excites me a lot.. it is magnificent to be able to be several people and characteristics in art.

What type of movie would you like to act in the most?

I'm passionate about old stories, I would love to do a period movie or some action movie.

One director you want to work with, the most.

It's hard to say just one name, it's an honour and a challenge to work with so many names renowned directors in cinema, but surely a director who is an actress and in my case, it would be a dream to work with the director Steven Spielberg.

What advice do you have for kids who want to be actors/actresses? if this is your dream, believe in it and focus on it! Being an actor or actress wants dedication and a lot of studies! but if you do what you love, it becomes easy.

Have you ever been told to change something about yourself? no one ever told me I had to change something, but I am very critical of myself, I always look for changes for my best. courses, psychologist, mentoring.

What is the meaning of your name?

Priscila: name of an old soul, dedicated to home and family, loyalty.

What would be a good theme song for your life?

I identify with a Brazilian song, composed by Lulu Santos written in 1982, called Tempos Modernos

excerpt: “ I want to believe in love in a good way That this applies to anyone That realize the strength that has a passion I see a new beginning of era Of fine, elegant and sincere people With the ability to say more yes than no Today time flies love runs through the hands even without feeling There's no time to go back, love Let's live all there is to live Lets permit ourselves” What do you like doing in your spare time? travel, see new cities, and spend time with my family Describe the next five years of your life, and your plans.

I hope that in 5 years I'll be fulfilled in my work, shooting Oscar nominated movies, having my family travel internationally to see me receive awards and be healthy and at peace.

DENZIL PATRICK SS23 CENTERS ON YOUTHFUL VIGOR AND FREEDOM For Daniel Gayle of London-based label Denzil Patrick, creativity takes form through culturally relevant and responsible design. In his case, the brand serves as a homage to his Jamaican and Irish ancestry, which is heightened by his experiences in London. For the brand’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection, Gayle turns 16 again by focusing on his childhood in ’90s London.

A time marked by youthful vigour, the pursuit of freedom, confusion and unparalleled ambition, Gayle’s latest collection channels the feeling of fun-filled fearlessness. “It felt like anything was possible, and it only lasted that summer, that feeling,” Gayle told Vogue Runway. Mirroring energetic adolescent emotions, the offering is complete with an array of styles and visceral colours. There simply are no rules. Geometrical colour-blocked knits are paired with short shorts, knee-length coats and button-down shirts met with multicoloured graphic prints and pleated skirts revealing that there is a coolness to reimaging school-inspired garments.

Other highlights of the collection include a blue and purple-toned coordinating set with all-over hearts, sage and grey-scale tailoring with numerical print detailing and diamond-pattern pants. Whether it be the school, club or street, the collection exhibits the harmony between fused dress notes.

“With this third collection, that’s what we’ve come to,” Gayle told Vogue Runway. “It’s why I feel emancipation both for me as 16-year-old Daniel, but also the emancipation of my job today. We made the collection we wanted to make. I’ve thrown the rule book away because I don’t want to feel confined to anything because I’m just exploring, and what makes it legitimate is that I’m doing it.”

WEAR MAKEUP OR NOT! THAT’S COMPLETELY ALRIGHT Is makeup the only thing that makes one look beautiful? I guess most of us will say NO! There are many reasons why people wear makeup. There could be a lot of reasons but I will be mentioning the one that I came through. The reasons I am going to mention, maybe everyone out there will agree, it's just that what I have come through these years I am sharing.

The first reason is that makeup makes one feel confident. This statement may not be applicable to everyone but there are individuals for whom makeup is a blessing. This is something which actually covers all our flaws like blemishes, acne, and dark spots and makes us look more beautiful and appealing. Looking good is not bad, if someone is feeling great after covering or hiding their flaws then it's completely all right. It's their skin, they can do whatever they want and however, they want to carry themselves. Sometimes it's easy to say that a natural look is what people should show and not by covering themselves under makeup but that’s not true. There are individuals who have faced and been facing a lot of flaws in their faces. They are so conscious about their barefaced that they

lose their confidence and it is because they face bullies about their imperfect face. So for survival if they feel like wearing makeup can make them feel better then I would say just go for it. I can give examples of dramas where it has portrayed how much girls had to face bullies if they were born with imperfect faces. I will mention Korean dramas ( True Beauty, My ID is Gangnam Beauty, Birth of a Beauty, She Was Pretty) as I have seen quite some of them in this context. There must be more movies and dramas on this theme which shows the ugly side of being imperfect, how to suffer being born with an imperfect face and the only survival becomes makeup which hides their flawed face and gives them the power of confidence. But as I have mentioned, it's fine to be without makeup and accept the way we are. Be you, be beautiful.

The second reason is that makeup is an art. Not everyone is good at the art of cooking, writing, painting, singing or dancing but makeup is an art in which women can do good with just a little effort. This is a form of art in which you can do a lot of exploration from bold to very basic one. There are no limitations to this form of art. This is also not gender-

based, all genders can explore the art of makeup. You can see women, and men wearing makeup for magazines and show to drag queens and kings. Makeup started just to hide or cover facial imperfection and now it's just doing wonders through crazy explorations.

The last reason is that makeup has become such an important part of everyone’s life that it’s really sad that individuals have forgotten the true natural beauty which is being in your own imperfect skin. It's not always covering up your flaws to look perfect, it's about how you look beautiful being different with your flaws. It has become so important for everyone that no one gets out of their home without wearing makeup - it may be a basic one or a heavy one but playing an important part in every individual's life.

Even popular celebs don’t go out without makeup which influences the younger generation on how important it is to look perfect and hide your imperfection.

BEAUTY

The reason may be whatever, it's totally up to you whether people out there wear makeup or not, everything is valid till you feel good about it and does not hurt anyone’s feelings. If it makes you feel best then go for it or if not then be in your own skin that’s also completely all right.

It's your happiness which matters at the end of the day. So just do whatever makes you feel beautiful, look beautiful and most importantly make you feel confident.

UNFOLLOWING THE BEAUTY STANDARDS OF SOCIAL MEDIA We all know how important social media is in each and every aspect of our lives. Influencers, celebrities, and models have been portraying a lifestyle which creates an illusion in our minds that what we need to achieve is their lifestyle but we don’t want to see the deeper side of it. We just get excited just by what they show and do not even think about the reality which is hidden in every story. We just blindfold ourselves with what we see on social media and follow them without even trying to look or think about the real side of it. Whatever we see is absolutely perfect but do we even have the time to think about how everything can be so perfect? If we are not perfect then how come the people around us are living and looking so perfect? All these are vague.

Is it possible for each one of us to look perfect? I don’t think that is even possible. We are human beings and imperfection is what we are born with. Then why society

expects that women have to be fair and perfect body shape and men to be more muscular. Why are there certain beauty standards that have to be fulfilled by every individual in our society or else we are not accepted the way we are? In order to live peacefully and happily, we have to follow whatever society has made rules.

These rules and the unrealistic beauty standards that society has constructed are not possible to achieve that. These are the standards we people have created in social media in the name of society and also encourage people one way or the other to achieve this unrealistic goal. And this is on us to change this mentality of people around us that how to defeat this kind of thinking for once and for all.

This can be achieved just by accepting the way we are with our flaws. We shouldn’t forget that we are born with this imperfection which makes us different and beautiful.

HP MAGAZINE

You can help yourself and no one else can do it. So instead of following social media beauty standards, focus on yourself. Look at yourself and try to see what features in yourself that you like the most, try to cherish those every day and celebrate, feel good about it that you have such beautiful features. If you start to love and accept yourself then everybody else will do so. It's always you who has to have the courage to accept yourself first then you can accept that from others.

Look at the mirror and praise yourself regularly, this will help to grow your self-esteem and confidence. If you can face yourself and accept yourself then there is nothing which can stop you from loving yourself.

Self-care is very important. If you can accept yourself then you have to take care of yourself which indirectly makes you feel good.

Whenever you get time just try something like - meditating, trying new haircuts and hairstyles, trying new styles, taking care of your skin, listening to music to boost your mood, doing something which you love, going for a walk and spending time in nature. Do whatever makes you feel good and look good.

BEAUTY

The aim is to focus on yourself rather than focusing on social media's unrealistic beauty standards. There will be a lot of content that will manipulate you but you have to believe in yourself and try to focus on what is better for your growth and happiness. If you see yourself without thinking and focusing on social media beauty standards then you could feel a whole new level of self-confidence and beauty in yourself which is definitely best for you.

ARE YOU BEAUTIFUL? YES I AM Each one of us doesn’t accept ourselves as we are in spite we keep on seeking more flaws in ourselves.

There is no perfect definition of beauty as beauty is always perceived differently by each individual - as it says “beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder”. The term beauty is always shaped by the people of our society which is absolutely vague. But this standard which is framed by people actually has affected the true standard of beauty. Every one of us just blindly follows the standard beauty without realizing the actual meaning of beauty. Social media has also played a vital role in shaping beauty standards. It has always been shown that to be beautiful one has to be fair complexioned without any spots and have a perfect body shape. The media has always portrayed the ideal body type in magazines and television programs. And people who have freckles, cellulite, stretch marks, are overweight, thin, tall, short or any other flaws are regarded as ugly or unattractive.

These unrealistic beauty standards are taught to girls to achieve from a very young age. They grew up following these standards and it gets so into their mind that they can do any possible way to achieve that unrealistic ideal type. In order to achieve that they may suffer from various physical and mental problems like - eating disorders, and dysmorphia.

After attaining a certain age girls go for various kinds of cosmetic surgery like - botox, chin surgery, cheek lift, chemical peel, cosmetic dentistry and many more in order to look perfect. While going through these dangerous and painful processes it may sometimes go wrong which in turn makes them suffer more. They also go through mental issues like - anxiety, and depression. They mentally break down so much that it hampers their other important things in life education, relationships with family members and friends. They can’t perform well in any way, lose interest in everything and also become unsocial.

HP MAGAZINE

While growing up everyone faces their share of criticism and so do I. Each and every person I came across has reminded me of how improper I was which deeply affected my self-esteem and also hampered my self-confidence. I was always referred to as “skinny” and “dark” which makes me feel like I don’t fall under this so-called perfect beauty standard. It keeps on hitting my mind that I was different and ugly. But I was unaware of the fact that being different is what makes one beautiful. Each person is different and beautiful in their way in this world. It takes a while to accept the way I am. I started to love my underweight skinny body, the colour of my body and each and every imperfection which makes me perfect.

There are different ways for each one of us to help ourselves to encourage that we are not less than anyone else. We are beautiful the way we are. We have to define the definition of beauty in our way because there is no such strict definition of women’s beauty. It always varies from person to person. The media and society will always play their role to convey messages of unrealistic beauty but we have to help ourselves by defining beauty in our own way.

Being yourself and different from

others are what make us beautiful enough. Though recently beauty standards have changed. The media is portraying individuals with flaws in magazines, and television programs. It's a relief for the coming generation as they don’t have to deal with the unrealistic beauty standards of society. It is so encouraging to watch famous personalities and influencers promote beauty standards by not following the ideal beauty type.
