The Prada Fall-Winter 2021 Womenswear collection by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons is inspired by the idea of change and transformation, opening possibilities. A fusion between disparate themes and intents mirrors the nature of humanity: a belief in the fact that men and women each hold the masculine and feminine within themselves. This collection explores the space that exists between conventional polar opposites — the point between simplicity and complexity, elegance and practicality, limitation and release, transmuted.

Louis Vuitton conceived PURE V, a superbly elegant high jewellery collection, whose structure adds a contemporary twist to the distinctive V signature for Vuitton. This outstanding stylistic exercise is written on skin in white gold, diamond and onyx letters. Necklace in white gold, 1 pear-shaped diamond for 2.03 carats, 13 baguette-cut diamonds for 0.81 carat and 390 diamonds for 7.39 carats Already reinterpreted in 2014, in the Acte V high jewellery collection, the iconic Louis Vuitton V signature now lends its graphic design to PURE V, a set of 8 utterly precious models. “For this high jewellery collection, I wanted to express the essence of the V”, confides Francesca Amfitheatrof, Artistic Director for Watches and Jewellery at Louis Vuitton. “I wanted to update it, make it more contemporary. A great source of inspiration was the minimalist Art Deco- inspired V signature that Gaston-Louis Vuitton placed on his luggage in the 1920s-1930s”.

This bold, majestic V signature enhances the architectural silhouette of the models with a play on upstrokes and downstrokes. “In PURE V, the glimpses of skin revealed when you wear the piece are as important as the jewel itself”, remarks the Artistic Director. “I wanted this minimalistic adaptation to be at once chic, cutting-edge and easy to wear. Because nowadays women look for versatile high jewellery pieces that can be worn with both a black turtle-neck and a tuxedo jacket”. Bracelet in white gold, 1 triangle cut diamond for 0.18 carat and 227 diamonds for 9 carats | Bracelet in white gold, 1 triangle cut diamond for 0.20 carat, 48 baguette-cut diamonds for 5.18 carats, 88 diamonds for 3.26 carats and 4 onyx for 8.15 carats Another iconic element of this collection is its balance.

Sinus infections and nasal allergies are one of the most common reasons to seek medical care. As specialists, we approach these problems with state-of-the-art methods for evaluating and treating the problem. Advanced level evaluation allows us to make the proper diagnosis, allowing for the best treatment options. Evaluation often requires a diagnostic nasal endoscopy to assess the internal structures of the nose and the sinus drainage pathways. A CT scan of the sinus region is used to evaluate for infection or obstruction of the sinuses and allergy testing is used to determine whether swelling and tissue reaction due to an allergic response is contributing to the nasal problem. Treating difficult nasal and sinus problems can be performed with various medications, sinus and nasal surgery or a combination of both. Surgical procedures may be done in the office under local anesthesia or in a hospital or outpatient facility under general anesthesia, depending on the individual needs. We perform minimally for nasal treatment including: Balloon Sinuplasty - an office-based procedure to dilate narrowed sinus openings to help reduce recurring or persistent sinus infections. Clarifix® - an office-based procedure using a freezing technique to reduce nasal drainage VivAer® - an office-based procedure to improve the nasal airway. Advanced sinus procedures and functional sinus surgery are performed in surgical facilities. These procedures can include repair of a deviated septum and the Latera® nasal implant, which can help breathing in certain patients. For more info visit entpbc.com Image courtesy of Unsplash.
