INTERVIEW

Hi, could you start by telling us a bit about yourself?

My name is Piya Pawani. Born in Pondicherry, grew up in Dubai and currently living in Muscat, Oman. I am a double MBA in Marketing & Finance. I have been in modeling for the past 10 years in Oman and 16 yrs Dubai & Oman together. Crowned La Femme Worldwide title winner in 2019 and Mrs India – Empress of the Nation, 2 nd Runner up, 2018.

Tell us about your journey so far?

My journey so far has been very interesting and an absolute thrill. I am so grateful to have worked with so many creative people, expertise from the industry and connect with industry professionals.

How would you describe your style?

Casual, comfort and Chic.

Tell me about your experience as a model.

My journey in this industry started as a mere hostess & promoter. Slowly, I was selected for shoots but nothing that would make me stand out. When I moved to Oman, my first photoshoot was quick and easy, but I realized later that these photos would be up on billboards. That was my first lesson, to be prepared to shoot anywhere, anytime & anyhow – To be camera ready & accept challenges. Since then, I have been open to explore, try new ideas, collaborate with different artists for new variations and shoots.

Irrespective of how people perceive this industry, it has truly been a great experience for me.

2020 has been the strangest of years, how did you find lockdown? Any lessons or discoveries?

Definitely stressful, frustrating and scary. But it gave me enough time to self-reflect, evaluate my work, connect with people, network and of course, gave me a chance to meet with expertise like your team. Lessons learned – life is short, and we must value every moment of our life. Discoveries – life is uncertain and change is inevitable.

What are your hopes for the future of the fashion industry?

I hope fashion industry is more relatable, personalized and sustainable. I am pro sustainable fashion and I wish many understand the significance and incorporate sustainable fashion in their day-to-day life.

Who have been some of your favorite collaborators so far in the industry?

It would be unfair to name a few as favorite. However, every single designers, artists or brands I have worked with or associated with have been an important step in my career growth.

What sorts of settings/clothes/brands do you prefer to shoot for or wear?

I am very experiemental and I love anything that is unique and creative. So, I always discuss ideas and themes with the photographers and we decide the best.

INTERVIEW

What first piqued your interest in fashion and modeling?

The fact that I can portray different characters and can look like anyone is definitely one of the first few reasons why I fancied this industry. What intrigued me is how a simple makeup palette can entire change your look and add so much to one’s work.

What is fun and rewarding about modeling? And what is not?

Fun and rewarding would be the fact that people appreciate and validate your shoots.

When your work gets featured on magazines, or billboards. When you get to work with different photographers and makeup artists all around. This industry can be a little tricky sometimes, especially the way a model is approached or accepted in the society. Very few understand what happens behind the scenes, the amount of time it takes to prepare for the shoot or show. People think its easy to be a model which isn’t true at all.

What is the biggest highlight of your career so far?

Definitely winning the pageant. Both Mrs India- Empress of the Nation 2018, and La Femme Worldwide 2019.

Do you have a favorite designer or high street brand?

Yes, actually an Indian Designer – Ayush Kejiriwal. I love his work and how he portrays real women through his designs. It is also my dream to shoot for him.

How has your style changed over the years?

I have realized its not about fashion or latest designs that hit the store but what suits your personality and comfort.

What is your greatest strength In terms of work – it’s the creativity of a project. In life, it has to be my family.

What are your goals as a model?

I read this quote somewhere and I truly believe and want to follow it. “I don’t want to be a model, I want to be a role model” As much as possible, through my shoots or projects, I want to create a positive impact and influence.

How do you imagine a typical day in work?

My typical day at work starts with healthy basic skin care, healthy breakfast, all pre-preps before a shoot. I make sure I pack my own shoot bag with basics (clothing) that would help during the shoot, my comfortable heels of different colors, my makeup as well.

I like to carry my own lunch or snack with me always. I cant step out without my apple cidar vinegar water. To sum it up, its mostly about the pre-work and its always fun.

What are your greatest accomplishments so far?

I am truly blessed and grateful for my journey so far but I still believe I haven’t accomplished much yet. There are so many things that I want to do especially in this industry and for married and underpriviledged women all around the world.

We are huge fans of your Instagram. Do you have any tips or tricks for achieving an aesthetically awesome Instagram page?

Thank you. Keep it real, original and professional.

What’s the one habit you have that changed your life for the better?

When I learned to say NO. Either a project, or a client or just to work with a team that don’t quite have the same vision as mine.

What’s something people would be surprised to learn about you?

Ironic but I am actually very camera shy and an introvert. Many don’t know that about me.

Miu Miu’s Upcycled Vintage Dress Capsule Has Us Ready for 2021

FASHION

Looking for an outfit to ring in the New Year (at home, of course)? Upcycled by Miu Miu is a capsule collection of, well, upcycled vintage dresses that will surely look dazzling on-screen—and, hopefully in the near future, IRL. The 80 one-of-a-kind looks comprise styles from the ’30s to the ’80s, sourced from vintage dealers worldwide, then lovingly restored at the label’s atelier and finished with signature Miu Miu embellishments and embroideries.

A ’70s pink pleated crepe dress, for example, is adorned with feathered-hem detailing and a white crepe collar, then accessorized with a jeweled belt. A silver-and-gold knit cocktail dress from the same decade is customized with a silk bow, crystal neckline, and diamanté embellishment. And a ’60s coral crepe frock is modified with a white collar and contrasting black crepe panels. The unique pieces are divided between Miu Miu’s Milan, London, Paris, Moscow, New York, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and St. Moritz boutiques.

Revisiting the past is certainly in Miu Miu’s wheelhouse. Designer Miuccia Prada often takes silhouettes from bygone eras and reimagines them for today. Think of her fall 2020 collection that riffs off the nipped waists and voluminous sleeves of the ’40s and the mod-inspired coats from the spring 2019 collection.

But with Upcycled by Miu Miu, Prada and her team are following an eco-friendly mindset by making use of the actual styles that inspire them, rather than starting fresh with new materials. The quality and overall design are already there, and all that is needed is some accessorizing to give them a second life. And we can think of no better way to celebrate the end of 2020 than with a dress that is all about making old things fun and fresh.

Moncler pledges carbon neutrality by 2021

Luxury label Moncler has said it will go carbon neutral by 2021 as part of its new sustainability pledge.

The up-market outerwear brand’s new ‘Moncler Born to Protect Sustainability Plan’ focuses on five key areas: climate action, circular economy, fair sourcing, enhancing diversity, and giving back to local communities.

On the climate front, the label pledges to become carbon neutral by 2021 and to use 100 percent renewable energy worldwide by 2023. Other targets include eliminating single-use plastics by 2023; using more recycled fabric scraps and sustainable nylon; and to start recycling DIST-certified down “through an innovative mechanical process that requires 70 percent less water compared to traditional down recycling processes”.

The label said it will also be working closely with its business partners to improve traceability of raw materials and improve social and environmental standards across its supply chain.

Moncler chairman and CEO Remo Ruffini commented: “The world is facing ever more urgent social and environmental challenges. The pandemic is a reminder that we can, we must, always go beyond what we have already achieved if we are to make our future better. To rise to these great challenges, as individuals, as organizations and as companies, we must mobilize extraordinary energies.”

These Are the Top Trends of Fashion Month Spring 2021

Many big-name brands and designers opted out of the Spring 2021 season due to the ongoing health crisis. So we weren’t sure exactly how fashion month would look this time around. We wondered how many actual runway shows would take place and whether there would be any street style sightings. Another big question? Would any real Spring 2021 trends emerge?

Most of us assumed loungewear would be the only thing brands would really have in common. Boy, were we wrong. In fact, several overarching themes appeared. And the majority involve dressing up again.

Neutral shades were clearly favored. Although blue jean-esque hues also made an impression. You’ll need to invest in a new vest. FYI: Sweater vests are not acceptable. Accessories also made a real difference. From layered necklaces to fancy overlays, there will be plenty of bling for spring.

World's oldest pearl to go on display in Abu Dhabi

The world's oldest known pearl is set to be exhibited at the Louvre Abu Dhabi this month, the first time it will be displayed to the public since its discovery.

The 8,000-year-old pearl was uncovered at an archaeological site on Marawah Island, off the coast of Abu Dhabi, according to the emirate's Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT).

Archaeologists made the discovery in the room of a structure they were excavating, the DCT said via a video posted to its official Twitter account Sunday. They then used radiocarbon dating to determine that it formed between 5800 B.C and 5600 B.C., making it the oldest pearl ever to be discovered.

The pearl, which was discovered in 2017, is less than a third of a centimeter in diameter and in photos, appears to be pale pink in color. It's set to feature in an upcoming exhibition at the Louvre Abu Dhabi titled "10,000 Years of Luxury," which opens on Oct. 30.

"The presence of pearls at archaeological sites is evidence that the pearl trade existed from at least as far back as the Neolithic period," said director of the DCT's Archaeological Survey Unit, Abdulla Khalfan Al-Kaabi, in the video.

Other historical sources and texts suggest that Abu Dhabi was widely known for its pearls, and was a major trading hub for them by the 16th century. According to a DCT press release, the Venetian jewel merchant Gasparo Balbi traveled through the region in the 16th century, and mentioned the islands off the Abu Dhabi coast as a source of pearls.

Archaeologists at the site also discovered artifacts made using the bones of sea creatures like fish and turtles. The ocean was likely an integral part of life in the region's ancient communities, according to Al-Kaabi, who said that pearls may have been used to barter with other civilizations.

"The Abu Dhabi Pearl is a stunning find, testimony to the ancient origins of our engagement with the sea," said DCT Chairman Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak in the press release. "The discovery of the oldest pearl in the world in Abu Dhabi makes it clear that so much of our recent economic and cultural history has deep roots that stretch back to the dawn of prehistory."

Pearls would have been used as jewelry and were seen as luxury items, according to the press release.

Pearls were once the backbone of the region's economy. According to the DCT, pearling crews would spend the summer months sailing to oyster beds in the warm, shallow Persian Gulf. They would dive for oysters and then break open their shells to obtain the naturally formed pearls inside.

The region's pearling industry was in decline by the early 1900s, as Japanese oyster farmers developed new techniques to cultivate perfectly round, immaculate pearls.

Today, pearl diving has all but disappeared as a vocation in Abu Dhabi, though theme parks and tour companies continue to offer it as an activity for visitors.

Ask a Londoner what Suman Jalaf is to their brows and it will be a version equivalent to what coffee is to our mornings—kind of necessary. But it might be hard to get a hold of the 35-year-old globe-trotting brow expert right now—she shuffles between her brow and lash studio, BrowsBySuman in Chelsea and the rest of the world to fix every brow, including famous ones like Kate Moss, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja and Deepika Padukone’s. We did, however, ask her to give her best tips to up your 2021 brow game, complete with product recommendations.

The tweezing tutorial you can try 1. Use two mirrors Make sure you have one magnifying mirror when tweezing but keep checking your progress in the larger mirror. This will help keep things even.

2. Tweeze just a few hairs a day Normally, the rule is not to touch your own brows between appointments, but the rules are out the window for now. So just tweeze a few hairs a day, rather than trying to do it all in one go. That way you can easily stick to the shape, especially if you’ve had them done professionally recently.

3. Only tweeze from the bottom It is not recommended to pluck hair from the top part of your brows as this can ruin the brow shape if you get a bit trigger happy with the tweezers. Give your brows a good brush down and see if there is any hair growing away from the natural shape. If you see some strays, pluck those and nothing else.

4. Consider your natural brow shape and map your brows Place the end of an eyeliner pencil at the inner corner of your left nostril and use the pencil point to mark the point at the top. Repeat on the other side. The space between the two points is the most you want to pluck between your brows, any more will create too much of a gap.

5. Trim carefully Trimming brows will help you retain their shape, but go easy. You’ll need a spoolie brush and some straight scissors. Brush all the hair up, anything standing beyond the shape of your brow is what you trim. Make sure you use small snips, avoid big snips if you don’t want to give yourself a wonky line.

6. Apply after-care Rosewater or aloe vera help soothe sensitive and irritated skin.

Expect Dry January To Be Bigger Than Ever In 2021

2020 had everyone reaching for a drink. As the new year dawns, millions are reexamining those choices.

Over 6.5 million people are expected to take part in Dry January in 2021, up from an estimated 3.9 million in 2020, according to new data from Alcohol Change UK, the British non-profit that popularized the trend a few years back. One in five British adults who drink alcohol (20%) are planning to do Dry January this year, representing 12.4% of the entire UK adult population.

Those numbers are impressive, especially when compared to the trend’s humble start.

When Dry January first officially launched in 2013, only 4,000 people signed up for the pledge to abstain. Since then, the trend has shown no sign of stopping, and the pandemic might have something to do with it with giving it more momentum. These numbers only take into account the people who sign up for the month via the organization; there’s reason to believe millions more take part unofficially and are not counted.

Taking part in Dry January for the first time? Having structure helps. Alcohol Change’s free app Try Dry lets people track the calories and money they’re saving by not drinking, as well as the units of liquor they’d typically drink. The app helps set goals and offers tips on staying dry. According to the non-profit, people who make a point to sign up for the month of abstaining, whether online or via an app, are twice as likely to complete the challenge, even if they were heavy drinkers to begin with.

4 reasons why the party season could be bad for your skin

PAGE 58

HP MAGAZINE

BEAUTY

1) Had one too many cocktailsIt’s no secret that sugar-heavy cocktails and alcohol can dehydrate your skin and cause breakouts—your single malt on the rocks may be a better choice compared to a margarita, but too many of the former can also set you on the same path. “Sugar-based cocktails and high calorie drinks like rum, beer and carbonated drinks impact the skin in three ways,” says Bengaluru-based dermatologist Dr Karishma Kagodu. “Alcohol can cause a sudden spike in the body’s insulin levels, fluctuations in your blood sugar levels and interfere with your liver function when consumed very often. Sugar causes inflammation of the skin and water retention in the body. This inflammation causes breakdown of collagen, thereby impeding the skin cell cycle, leading to dry skin and premature ageing. And lastly, alcohol causes severe dehydration. Water is consumed by your internal organs, leaving your skin dry and parched. Drinking night-after-night will disturb the healthy production of new skin cells.”

2) Sleeping with makeup onWe’ve said this multiple times before and we’ll say it again —don’t sleep with your makeup on. Multiple layers of product, no matter how light, coupled with the sweat and grime that gather on your skin over the course of the party, need to be washed away before you hit the sack. “Prolonged makeup on the skin tends to clog your pores, leading to acne, skin rashes, skin irritation and itchy eyes,” says Dr Kagodu. Even if you do take your makeup off, using overly drying cleansers or products that aren’t gentle on your skin can wreak havoc as well.

“Repetitive use of chemical-based, low quality skin products, heavy makeup, harsh face washes, or alcohol-based makeup removers can destroy the skin moisture level, leaving your skin dry and dull.” Make sure you thoroughly cleanse your skin, keep a pack of wipes by your bedside if you have to, and moisturise after.

3) Not sleeping enoughSound sleep is vital to allow your body to heal from the damage that alcohol does to it. Unfortunately, it’s hard to get enough good sleep when your body is dehydrated. Your skin cells regenerate overnight, making sleep even more important to avoid dullness and dark circles. “Your body produces a hormone called melatonin which has a calming and healing effect on the body,” says Dr Anand. “Melatonin is produced a few hours before the body shuts down, and this is based on your routine sleep cycle. When your sleep cycle becomes irregular; the body cannot produce enough melatonin, hence cellular regeneration is hampered.

Typically when we are in a deep sleep, the melatonin and the human growth hormone causes cell repair and skin cell turnover, which is essential for healthy skin.” While your body may not be receiving the rest it craves, the one thing you can do is make sure you’re taking vitamin supplements to assist your body’s recovery process. “Take antioxidant supplements with coenzyme Q10, grape seed extract, Vitamin C and Curcumin to help boost your cellular immunity.”
