Editorial
We are all the same in the fact that we are all different. We are all the same in the fact that we are never
the same. We are united by the reality that all colors and cultures are distinct and individual. Because of
the reality that we are all kept on this Earth by the same gravity and share the air that keeps us alive.
Taking trends in Fashion as an example, we can use Fashion as a form of individual and personal expression,
as well as a way to be accepted and impress others - either to show status or simply as a way to
gain approval. And we all do this, in some way, because it is part of the (less evolved) side of our nature.
But in the century. XXI, this behavior is taken to a new level. The Internet, social networks, brought a
massification of freedom of expression, never before experienced. And with freedom, too, extremist
behaviors and widespread lack of respect, and we see polarities taking paths of violence, cruelty and
ignorance. But respect will always be a two-way street and, if we want to receive it, we must learn to give
it first. Like Style, Attitude is also a choice. Change is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Generosity is a
choice. Inclusion is a choice. Respect is a choice. And at the end of the day, the truth is just one: we are
what we choose to be

Its Corona time
Dealing with the virus in music festivals
Since the outbreak of the coronavirus disease at the end of 2019, more than 80,000 people have
contracted the disease, resulting in more than 2,700 deaths according to the World Health Organization.
As the disease continues to spread, live event organizers have been canceling or postponing
large gatherings from technology conferences to major concerts.
More than 20,000 music events between January and March have been canceled or postponed
in China and Hong Kong, costing 2 billion yuan ($286 million) in ticketing and box-office losses, according
to the China Association of Performing Arts.
Promoters Who Need Coronavirus Insurance
Likely Dont Have It Experts Say
Insurers and promoters cast the dice on coronavirus coverage months ago -- sources tell Billboard
that if promoters do not already have infectious disease insurance for their events, it is too late to
buy it now. As a rule, cancellation insurance policies exclude infectious disease coverage. Promoters
have to purchase an additional insurance rider to get it added. In fact, policies that have been issued
after the virus gained attention exempt COVID-19 coverage. For those that have coverage, payouts
will require a force majeure event to trigger coverage -- an event like a government agency shutting
down a concert because of an outbreak.

Prized women owning their victorys
starting off the year just right
Billie Eilish’s sweep was the big story of the 62nd annual Grammy Awards, which were held
Sunday (Jan. 26) at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Eilish became just the second artist in Grammy
history—and the first woman—to take home the Big Four awards: album, record and song of the
year plus best new artist. The first artist to do this was Christopher Cross 39 years ago.
“I joke around a lot at these things but I genuinely
want to say I am so grateful,” said the singer

Oscars
Renée Zellweger tem, depois de Cold Mountain, de 2003, o seu segundo Óscar,
desta feita de Melhor Actriz. A estatueta, entregue por Rami Malek, o Melhor Actor
do ano passado, foi para a actriz norte-americana pelo papel de Judy Garland
em Judy, de Rupert Goold.
"No, Judy Garland did not receive this honor in her time. I am certain
that this moment is an extension of the celebration of her legacy
that began on our film set. Its also representative of the fact that
her legacy of unique exceptionalism and inclusivity and generosity
of spirit. it transcends any one artistic achievement, Miss Garland
you are certainly among the heroes who unite and define us, and this
is certainly for you. I am so grateful, Thank you so much everybody.
Good night, Thank you.”

MotoGP riders praise female
superbike champ
Buriram - The world’s top-ranked MotoGP
riders hailed on Thursday the
barrier-breaking victory of Ana Carrasco,
a week after the Spaniard earned
glory by becoming the first woman to
win a world motorcycling title.
The 21-year-old entered the record
books on September 30 when she
won by a single point in the Superbike
Supersport 300 division on the French
circuit of Magny-Cours. Riding a
Kawasaki, Carrasco fought her way up
from 25th to finish 13th at the season
decider, calling her achievement
“unbelievable”.
MotoGP’s three leading riders were
full of praise when quizzed about her
win ahead of the inaugural Thailand
Grand Prix.
“I was very happy, it was so important
for the motorcycle world,” said
MotoGP frontrunner and fellow Spanish
rider Marc Marquez. “It’s not a
man’s world, women can be very fast
on the bike. It’s not only about the
physical condition, also it’s about skill
and mentality,” added Marquez.

Winnie
Culture: How did you overcome being bullied as
a child?
Winnie Harlow: Dropping out of high school
was possibly the best thing that could have happened,
because I found a rejuvenated sense
of self. I learned to love who I am despite what
anyone would say about or to me. This gave me
the courage to really stand up to anyone or any
obstacle in my life.
C: How did you get into fashion?
WH: To be completely honest I never thought
I could become a model growing up. I actually
wanted to be an entertainment journalist. I started
pursuing modeling after I had an interview
with a Toronto Photographer, Shannon Boodram,
and she encouraged me to continue pushing.
From there I started to build myself up by leveraging
social media.
“After Tyra gave me that opportunity it was my
time”
WH: When “America’s Next Top Model” (ANTM)
was casting for the new season I asked all my
fans online to tag Tyra Banks so she could see my
photos -- and they did! My little sister started a
Facebook page for me and one of the producers
from the show sent a message showing interest.
Initially I didn’t believe it but I followed through
and ended up being on the show for season 21.
After Tyra gave me that opportunity it was my
time.
Nick Knight was my first big gig as a ‘real’ model.
Prior to, and during “ANTM” I never actually called
myself a model because I always viewed it as
a hobby. Then I received an email directly from
Nick and we made arrangements to work together
in London. That shoot gave me the confidence
to continue modeling as a career.
C: Does prejudice and discrimination still exist
within fashion?
WH: I think the industry is opening up but still
needs to accept various forms of beauty as a
standard, as opposed to an occurrence now and
then. I want to see different faces on the covers
of magazines, the stars of movies, featured on
billboards... It’s time we open the market up and
embrace people from all walks of life.
C: Are there any liberating aspects to the fashion
industry?
WH: The most liberating thing is being able to
just simply be myself and show the fashion industry
that beauty can come in many forms.
C: How important is social media in changing and
developing concepts of beauty?
WH: I think it helps. Social media when used positively
and correctly can act as a great tool for
you to meet people from around the world and
ultimately share what you have to offer.
C: Your look has become a fashion statement in
and of itself. What do you think of the backlash
against some of the people trying to imitate your
condition?
WH: I did share my ideas on my Instagram but to
reiterate I think that people are not imitating me
in a negative form. They were showing their version
of me and I appreciated it.
Harlow said on the social media platform that
“It is very clear to me when someone is showing
love. I appreciate these people recreating, loving
and broadcasting something that I once cried
myself to sleep over.”
C: Can you predict what the fashion industry’s
desired ‘look’ will be in the future?
WH: Not 100%, but whatever it is, I plan to be at
the forefront.
"An image can be stronger than an army The
fashion ads that shook society”
