In August 2024, Balmain will present an exceptional fashion show at the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts (SWAIA) Native Fashion Show in Santa Fe. And the French fashion house has enlisted Canadian artist Kent Monkman ti challenge western runway codes. His mission? To integrate relevant cultural elements into the world build by Olivier Rousteing. I'm thrilled by this collaboration to come for many reasons. For one, the event highlights Balmain's positioning as an inclusive luxury brands. Balmain is expected to come with a response to the demand for cultural and diversity in fashion campaigns. How so?

Truly Redefining the Aviation Industry.

How do you deal with challenges in your business? Do you think on your feet & react in the moment? This weekend I was official event photographer for Dance Teacher Expo at the International Conference Centre in Sydney. More than 1000 dance teachers from across Australia poured into the venue to see the most important feature of the conference: the fashion runway. But - as with all ultra important moments - there's always so much going on behind the scenes. Comment: Has something like this ever happened to you at work? #sydney #womeninbusiness #smallbusiness

🌧️ A Rainy Morning Full of Excitement & Gratitude 🌧️ As a founder and designer, there are certain moments that fill you with a sense of joy and appreciation for the people you get to work with. Rushing to meet Anna Jakubikova in Richmond, just before she flew off to the Czech Republic, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for having such an incredible partner on this journey. Despite being soaked in the summer rain, all I could feel was excitement. Anna is not only an amazing professional but also wonderfully creative and spontaneous, all while being incredibly strategic in her approach. I couldn’t imagine a better partner to help us bring Hedonista Lingerie to the amazing women of the Czech Republic. 🇨🇿✨ Czech women, much like the beautiful architecture that defines the country, have a deep sense of beauty and aesthetics. They are highly educated and excel in intellectual pursuits, embodying the qualities of the Hedonista woman—someone who is confident, ambitious, and effortlessly stylish. Our next step? Using deadstock fabrics to create our collections—perfect for our environmentally conscious clientele. I’m so excited to see how this resonates with the brilliant Czech women who value both beauty and sustainability. 🌿💫 Thank you, Anna, for your trust, and for being such a vital part of this exciting new chapter. #Hedonista #FounderLife #LingerieLove #CzechRepublic #Grateful #Sustainability #Minimalism #Partnership #BrandGrowth

ALETHEIA There comes a time in the life of everyone, during which one begins to feel unsatisfied or inadequate, as if crushed by a lid down. Nowadays this process of bewilderment is amplified not only by events such as war and the covid, but also and above all by the typical speed of industrial civilization. In this historical period, it is, by now, bombarded with information or news, rather even little reassuring and rosy for the future, that you are so saturated that now you do not have much to say or tell. Not only has everything already been told and therefore treated, but we find ourselves, in particular, faced with a verbal and expressive block. A sort of alienation or discomfort in which modern man finds himself living together day by day, in which every goal manifest itself unsatisfactory, every goal fails to complete the need or desire, thus running along its own straight, and it is just as you run that you start to fear that you are destined to run without any goal forever. The central point of the work is, therefore, the transmutation of verbal language into non-verbal language and, in particular, how movement can be translated into feeling.
