Hundreds of celebrity interviews… and countless more panic attacks. That’s the story syndicated entertainment columnist and Miami Living contributor, Allison Kugel, tells in her deeply personal memoir, Journaling Fame: A memoir of a life unhinged and on the record. The book opens in a hospital room, with Kugel in the throes of a panic attack that is being treated with copious amounts of the tranquilizer, Ativan. The descriptions of her every thought and bodily sensation puts you inside her skin. You’re then refocused to simpler scenes of her 1970s and 1980s Long Island, New York childhood and adolescence. The details of her early life plant seeds for her creativity and love for journalism, and (from Kugel’s recounting) the makings of her anxiety disorder. It is with insight, humor and thoughtful reflection that Allison Kugel takes readers on an engaging and informative journey, growing into adulthood with her anxiety and panic disorder looming. She simultaneously rises to become a prominent profiler of some of today’s most notable public figures from entertainment and popular culture. Kugel manages to seamlessly tie her story together with humor, grace, and inspiration, as she shares her mental health journey, and ultimately, her healing. This book also delivers on insider celebrity stories with the likes of the Kardashians, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, former heavyweight boxing champ Mike Tyson, The View co-host Meghan McCain, wellness guru Deepak Chopra, famed attorney Gloria Allred, legendary comic Dave Chappelle and countless other recognizable names. As someone who has known her for years, I can share that Allison is an eclectic spirit with unlimited potential for growth and evolution, as she allows it. She has a great light, tempered by a darker dichotomy that she is consistently at odds with. Her duality offers readers a spiritual push and pull that makes Journaling Fame a page turning read; like reading the diary of an old friend or former lover. Journaling Fame’s appeal is in the unvarnished humanity with which Allison Kugel shares her layered story. Sheldon Wright: I can honestly say your book was the first of its kind I have ever read, in that it covers your life as a celebrity profiler, as well as some of your mental health struggles. It goes back and forth, but seamlessly and brilliantly! Allison Kugel: Thank you. When I began my interview column about fifteen years ago, I would tell anyone who would listen that one day I was going to write a book about all of the interviews I've done. That was always the dream. About seven years ago when the shit really hit the fan with my anxiety and panic attacks and OCD, I was in and out of the ER, on and off tranquilizers and keeping a journal as part of my therapy. As I was healing from these horrific anxiety issues, the journaling was such a huge part of my healing process, and the entries were so deeply personal and so graphic that I never would have imagined that one day I would put them into a book for the world to read. SW: But you did it, which was very courageous. How did you then decide to incorporate all the behind-the-scenes celebrity stories into the book? AK: I got better; I healed. Once I was back on my feet, I was on a mission to help as many people as I could reach with my story, so I resolved that I would turn my mental health struggles into a memoir. But then I thought, "Oh, wait. What about my dream to write about my interviews?" One day it hit me, that I could combine those two aspects of my life into one book. I mean, who was going to tell me I couldn't do it? It was my book, my story, my rules. If anything, I love that the pop culture appeal gets people to pick the book up, but my journey with anxiety and panic attacks could end up helping a lot of readers, by default. If you think about it, 40 million people in the United States have dealt with some kind of anxiety disorder, so I am hoping it can reach some of those people. SW: You've done a lot of interviews over the course of your career… AK: Yeah, I think I'm edging up on 300. SW: What's the big takeaway from doing all those celebrity interviews? AK: That you really don't know someone unless, or until, you sit down and talk with them and ask them about their life. Now with social media you can see the more human side of celebrity, because you see their makeup-free selfies and some of their personal unfiltered moments. But when I first started in celebrity journalism in 2005, social media didn't exist. My goal with my interviews was to strip away the veneer of fame, uncover the human being, and share that with my readers. All these years later, that is still what I aim to do with each interview. I like to peel away someone's layers, like I'm peeling an onion. I've even had some celebrities tell me some of my interview questions are very challenging. I push people a bit out of their comfort zone. SW: In your book, you are the subject and you peel back the layers on yourself. AK: I had to hold myself to that same standard. Because of the behind the scenes stories in my book, I've been asked if it's a celebrity tell-all. My answer is, that if it is a tell-all, it's a tell-all about me. With the celebrities that are written about in my book, I would say I stuck to an 80/20 rule. About 20% of the celebrity stories I could have written about actually made the cut in my book, 80% didn’t make the cut. That's because I made a promise not to repeat certain things I've been told over the years, and I had to respect that. But there's still some great stuff in there. SW: My favorites are the chapters about 50 Cent, Jenna Jameson and Dave Chappelle. I love how you connect each of these experiences to something that was going on in your own life at the time. AK: Dave was never an interview subject. We knew each other and hung out together as "kids" in our twenties, so that chapter was more of a chronicle of that period in my life as a young adult. I was commuting back and forth between LA and New York at that time and so was he, and we would run into each other in both places and pick back up where we left off. When I wrote that chapter, I had no idea he was going to re-emerge back into the spotlight. At the time that I wrote it, he was still under the radar and doing sporadic stand up gigs in small clubs around the country. SW: I also love your chapter about interviewing Anne Frank's first cousin. I know how much that experience meant to you. AK: I read Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl over and over again when I was growing up. That story is such an important one, especially within the Jewish community. It was surreal to be able to get to know her first cousin, who was like a sibling to her. Hearing stories about their childhood before Anne had to go into hiding during the war, when she was free to just be a little girl, it was truly amazing. And I connected that chapter to my grandfather's experience as a soldier in the 1st infantry division of the army during, World War II. SW: Shortly after your book was originally released, you got back into journalism and you've done some of your biggest interviews in the past couple of years. In your opinion, which of your recent interviews has been your most successful? AK: Commercially speaking, my Gwen Stefani interview has been my most successful interview of the past couple of years. It was syndicated to more than fifty different media outlets throughout the United States and Canada, and then I was able to sell the European rights to the interview, and it went into syndication overseas. I will say that it was quite validating to even book that interview, and for her team to trust me with her story and to promote her Las Vegas residency. It was an honor. SW: What do you hope people gain from reading your book, Journaling Fame? AK: Most importantly, when I was growing up and dealing with symptoms from anxiety, panic attacks, depression and OCD, there was nothing I could read to give me comfort and let me know I wasn't alone in what I was experiencing. I love that the stigma is eroding, and more people are talking about mental health than ever before. I am proud to be a part of that movement. I hope my book can give people comfort in knowing they are not alone. I also hope my book serves as an example to show how much can be accomplished in life, even while dealing with personal struggles, whatever they may be. I've always pushed through the pain and discomfort to make my dreams a reality. I want that to serve as a road map, especially for young people who are going through something similar to what I have experienced in my life.

Nicole Anderson, the creator of Elemental Superfood, began making food at home years ago because of her daughter's allergies to wheat, dairy, and sugar. If a product didn't have one of these allergens, it usually had the other, so her options of what she could buy in a store were close to none. Being a mother of a child with autism, she realized first-hand the effects that these foods would have on her daughter's well being. She made it her mission to research nutrition and food and the impact it has on the body. After seeing dramatic changes in her daughter as a result of a clean diet, she became passionate about creating foods that everyone she knew could enjoy and benefit from. Over the last few years, there has been an increasing awareness of and shift towards healthy foods and snacks. As a result, there is heightened demand for food products designed to help the many millions suffering from diseases, ailments, and allergies, as well as those merely seeking a healthier, more active lifestyle. Elemental Superfood fills that need, creating products with clean ingredients that never compromise texture and flavor.

In a time when life feels fragile and love can seem fleeting, there are signposts reminding us that life holds immeasurable meaning and love can last a lifetime if we have vision and faith and accrue the tools to sustain what we hold dear. Joseph "Rev Run" Simmons is a living example of iconic musical accomplishment and steady business acumen, but more importantly, as he sees it, he is living example of how to live one's life in faith and love. As Rev Run and his wife Justine Simmons speak with me about their marriage and their new book, Old School Love: And Why It Works, it further brings home the lesson that faith and love are actions we must take every day to ensure a life of substance; one where our relationships and being of service to others takes center stage. During the 1980s and 1990s, Rev Run’s rap group, Run-D.M.C. pioneered a powerful hip-hop sound that acted as a wrecking ball to break new ground and cross into the mass consciousness. Run-D.M.C. helped pioneer rap music's journey from underground urban sensation to mainstream cultural phenomenon. According to Rev Run, the fame, wealth, product endorsement deals and magazine covers did little to quell what was lacking within. His first marriage had ended, and he felt he had no spiritual center from which to rebuild. For him, Christianity was the catalyst that helped him find his center and higher purpose, which created the foundation from which to build his marriage to his beautiful wife, Justine Simmons. Audiences then fell in love with their blended family on the long-running MTV docu-series Run's House, and subsequent television shows on The DIY network and the Travel Channel. Their new book, Old School Love, certainly saves the best for last as they open up like never before, sharing the ups and downs and intimate details about their life and their marriage. Rev Run’s performance at the 2020 Grammy Awards was, indeed, a full circle moment for the artist, reverend, and mentor to millions. Below, Rev Run and Justine discuss what makes their marriage and their family rock-solid, and the journey that has gotten them here. I want to compliment you on a job well-done. I've read many celebrity-authored books, and rarely do I feel compelled to recommend a book. This one, I’m going to recommend. I’m a single mom, like your two daughters, Angela and Vanessa, who you write about in the book. Dating can be disheartening, and I found this book inspiring as well as healing. Rev Run: What made you feel that way? I’m very interested… Reading about your loving, old-fashioned courtship makes me feel quite hopeful that such a thing exists. The two of you are emotionally responsible with one another. I love how you speak about being mindful during a conflict, and not being cruel or hitting below the belt, but really taking care of each other's feelings. RR: Well, thank you! You’re very welcome. I watched your family's show, Run's House, when it was on, but this book is different. The two of you get very intimate and really take your fans inside your marriage, and even into your sex life. That's private stuff. What made you want to share those parts of your marriage? RR: People have been asking us for the longest to do a book, so we wanted to be very transparent and give people as much help as we could as to the dynamics of why we're here, and how we arrived at this place together. The only way to do that is to go as deep as we could into ourselves, to pour it out to you. Justine, what do you have to say? Justine: Joey and I so wanted to help people in their marriage, so much so, that we wanted to give them our all and say, "This is what we are doing, and hopefully if you try it this way, it could help you in your own marriage." We know it's not easy. We were blessed to have mentors that were trying to make their marriages work, so we had that early on to look at and see how to make our own marriage work. We just wanted to make sure we gave you all the lessons we've learned over the years. Click on image to launch slideshow > Are you that couple in your social circle that people go to for advice about their relationships? RR: We feel it when we walk down the street. We feel people wanting to look up to us. Because of the television show, Run's House, not just close friends, it almost feels like the world, whether they know us or not, feel that way. Run's House was so impactful in that way. I don't really get cornered by couples per se, but I get cornered by the world at large, to just feel admired by them. JS: Maybe one or two couples have come to us, but I’d rather not say names. If you notice, on Run's House, we showed ourselves going to church and different things like that. We tried to lead by example. Even on our cooking show (Rev Run's Sunday Suppers) and our renovation show (Rev Run's Renovation), we always tried to lead by example. RR: Do as we do, not what we say. That's what was so good about our reality shows. Michael Jordan never told people, "Here's how to dunk the ball." He just dunked, and [the late] Kobe [Bryant] became inspired. You can feel our truth, and it's been inspiring. JS: So many people would comment on my husband's Instagram, asking us to please put out a book, or saying, "You guys should write a book!" Rev, what have you done differently in your marriage to Justine that you didn't do in your first marriage? RR: I was young. I was on the road, and when I came back home and off the road, I didn't have what I needed. I was too young. Later, I went to church, and I had time to slow down and really be more attentive. Like other famous families, your marriage and your family are also a brand and a business. Are there ever times when the brand clashes with your personal relationship? RR: No. We never leaned too hard on making it a brand. It was always a tool to help. Run's House wasn't about trying to sell clothing or sell jewelry, or to sell anything. We were trying to convey a message of family, of love and of being connected. That's all it was ever about. We never tried to turn it into a booming business. JS: My husband also really tried hard to not take things in that direction, like, "No, we're not doing that, because it might start this." RR: Right, it might bring a wedge between me and my wife. We were very careful with that. I put a little bit into business, but I think I put more into my family than I do into chasing business deals, my ego, and trying to be the top entrepreneur, or the top rapper, or top anything anymore. I can see the pitfalls coming towards me, and I’ve watched it too much. I can just feel that if I put too much energy in another direction it will hurt my family. My intuition knows best. Your faith in God and the guidance that both of you get from your bible study, it's a tremendous part of your life and your marriage, and it's woven throughout your book. We know that everyone has different beliefs when it comes to God, religion and spirituality. Do you think it's possible to get through this earthly life, to weather the storms, and to be able to answer the big questions, without having a relationship with God? RR: No. I believe that you do the best you can; you push, and then you hope for the serendipity and the grace. You want that favor. I read a quote that once said, “I don't believe in miracles, I depend on them.” I love that quote. Justine had a friend years ago and she used to just say, “Jus, He did it again!” I thought it was so cute. I didn't know how religious her friend was, but that used to always touch me and tickle me. God really likes to come and play with us, talk with us, help us, encourage us. I know that faith without works is dead. But works without faith is also dead. Let's talk about parenting. I am of the mind that if a child is starting to go off course, or anyone you love for that matter, my feeling is the last thing they need is screaming and yelling, and punishing, and being made to feel further isolated. I feel that if a child is making poor decisions, it's because they're in pain and in need of healing. I think the best thing you can do is to move closer to them, communicate with them, show them compassion, hug them, and listen to what is causing that pain or confusion. RR: Yes, people around me were very shocked because when my daughter Vanessa first got pregnant, everybody thought all these things about how I would react, because it feels like I’m such a disciplinary type of figure. But I’m actually loose on people, because I don't want the same reaction to my mistakes. I go hard to make life better if I can, but I don't judge. I’ve let many of my children walk through whatever they had to walk through until they figured it out. The Bible says, "Teach your child, and they should go when they get older and they won't depart from it." I’m a firm believer in that. JS: These days you can try your best and kids are going to do what they want. As parents, of course, we can try to shorten the distance for their mistakes, but some of them want to make their own mistakes. It’s not easy, but you're going to have to let it go and let them learn from their mistakes. RR: Let them learn and let them figure out their life for themselves. Was there ever a make or break moment in your marriage, a time when you thought, "This is either going to split us up, or it's going to make our marriage rock solid."? JS: For us, no, not at all. The word "divorce" isn't in our circle. Phrases like "split for a minute," or "need a break, and you do your thing for a minute," those words and statements weren't even in our [vocabulary]. We don't let that into our marriage at all. No separation option, no divorce option. You don't bring those in. RR: Don't even bring that up in conversation. We've been very fortunate to not have had to experience that. We've been very blessed in that area of marriage, so I don't want to take all the credit. We're going to give it to God, but we conduct ourselves with a lot of love and with a lot of respect for one another. When you have that respect, you're not going to do something so hurtful to get to that place. The thing that breaks up relationships is the lack of respect. That's it. If I think I'm about to do something that is going to make her very mad, I don't do it. I do annoying husband stuff, like put my clothes on the floor and little stuff that she can get over, but I try my best not to do anything that is extremely hard to forgive. JS: I don't want him walking around angry at me all day, and he doesn't want me walking around angry at him all day, so we're trying to make each other happy and you would think more people would think like that. RR: We forgive a lot. A lot of people are selfish instead of selfless. You've got to be more selfless and less selfish. You've got to meet in the middle. It's all about giving. It’s all about forgiving and giving and respect. Period. JS: And we argue all the time RR: All the time, like an old couple does. One of my favorite memes is an old couple sitting in the rain, pissed off, but the gentleman is still holding the umbrella over her head. It's a beautiful cartoon picture that I've posted before, and I see it all over the internet. That sums it up. RR: Yeah! I’m mad, but I’m not going to let the rain get on you. Rev, I want to back up a bit and talk about Run-D.M.C. In those days, you hadn't found your faith yet, but as a young man something gave you the faith and the courage to believe that you could, not just become a hip-hop artist, but that you could revolutionize pop music culture. What fueled you? RR: I was just making music. I give a lot to God because you're making music, you're having fun and you have a lot of people working with you. The mainstream thing has a lot to do with our producers. Larry Smith, Russell Simmons, Rick Rubin… all these people around you. Run-D.M.C. and Jam Master Jay weren't alone. There were producers, record companies, managers, publicity people. No man is an island. I knew I had a God given [talent] and you go really hard because you're born with this ambition. You have ambition and competitiveness to back up the talent. All of it added up to success. Speaking of the late Jam Master Jay, how do you process loss? And how do you process the death of a loved one, especially when it appears to be under tragic circumstances, at least from our side of things on earth? RR: I get very spiritual during times of loss. I’m able to mourn and comfort those around me as I mourn. I get comforted by comforting, and by being comforted by loved ones. Do you get angry at all? RR: I don't, no. I don't get into those emotions often. I’m a very non-confrontational type of person. I’m a "live and let live" person, so I don't get caught up in too much conflict with people. At least, I try my best not to. You both talk in your book about your little girl, Victoria, who died shortly after birth; and then the adoption of your daughter, Miley. The way I interpreted all of it was that Victoria came to you briefly to teach you some profound lessons about love, loss and about trusting in God. Miley came to you as the child you were meant to raise for a lifetime. Does that make sense? RR: Agreed! You hit that right out of the park. You said it perfectly. JS: We could not have said it better than you. RR: I was humbled. You don't have babies; God gives you babies. Justine originally wanted to adopt and I said, "Let's just have a baby." God showed me after we lost our baby Victoria, that for me, personally, you don't make babies. That was the first lesson. The second lesson was that my wife is so sweet, she had wanted to adopt. Finally, the third lesson was that Miley needed us and we needed Miley. Sometimes Justine forgets that she didn't carry Miley, and that's the real crazy part. JS: So many women who cannot have babies, I want them to know that adopting is so amazing. Because I carried Victoria full term, it would make me forget that I didn't carry Miley. And she has so many traits of mine. We eat the same types of things, and sometimes I just say, "Girl, you came out of me," and she laughs. What advice do the two of you have for single people of this generation who are dating and looking for a partner? RR: Go where you're celebrated, not where you're tolerated. Go where you're adored, not where you're ignored. If the person is not answering the phone, not answering your texts and they're playing little games and you can feel it, be ready for the red flags. People will show you who they really are. Believe them. JS: That's good. And if you have children, make sure they love your children as much as they love you. If they don't show that, you'll see it in the beginning and that person is not for you. Rev, do you see yourself as a teacher, first and foremost? RR: I believe I’m here to inspire people. I inspire through music, and I think I inspire through my marriage. What are your thoughts on celebrities as role models for young people? Good thing, bad thing? Can it be a positive thing in the right context? Or do you think role models should be sought within your family, community or place of worship? RR: Everything around you can inspire you. Beyoncé inspires you to go hard when you make your music. Jay-Z and Puff Daddy inspire through their entrepreneurship. Leonardo DiCaprio inspires people as a great actor and with how hard he works. And you have those that are your mother, your father, your pastor, but there's inspiration everywhere. JS: I have to concur with my husband. You can learn through anything. You can even learn from a homeless person, from how they endure and how they get through a whole winter. They're so resilient. They make it through. Even a homeless person has something to teach. RR: The Bible says, “Go to the ants, you sluggard; consider their ways and be wise." Ants work hard all day long. You can learn something from an ant, according to the Bible.

Located in the first and only Relais & Châteaux property in the state of Hawaii, The Restaurant at Hotel Wailea delivers seasonal, island-grown dishes prepared by Executive Chef Zach Sato. A Maui native with a passion for Hawaiian culture, Chef Sato focuses on ingredients handpicked from the hotels’ own farming practices. This practice ensures that every dish has the freshest possible ingredients and heightened flavor. Words by Markin Abras For starters, choose the Hamachi Tataki served with heart of palm, avocado, and Finadene sauce. It is a light yet flavorful appetizer. The truffle risotto is also another delightful choice made with Ali’i mushrooms, truffle butter, and Parmesan Reggiano. Choose the Kona Lobster with knuckle fried rice, Lob Cheong, and tempura asparagus as your main dish. The Colorado lamb shank is a special treat accompanied with cannellini beans, broccolini, dates, mac-nut gremolata. For something sweet, choose the Hawaiian molten lava chocolate, flambéed with rum and served with light and fluffy honey marshmallows. The mango coconut with whipped lilikoi ganache and valrhona passion inspiration is another sublime choice.

Arne Wilhelmsen, a founder of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. and a visionary strategist of the modern cruise industry, died Saturday, April 11, 2020, in Palma, Spain. He was 90. The entire Royal Caribbean family extends its heartfelt condolences to the Wilhelmsen family. Wilhelmsen was a constant influence on the company from its founding, serving more than three decades on the company's board of directors. Together with the company's first CEO, the late Edwin Stephan, Wilhelmsen saw possibilities for the nascent cruise industry that others did not. "At a time when the rest of the world thought cruising was a niche use for old transatlantic liners, Arne was already seeing glimmers of the growth that was possible," said Richard Fain, RCL's chairman and CEO. "He had a vision of the modern cruise industry when the 'industry' might have been a dozen used ships, total." Their key insight: building new ships uniquely designed for cruising in warm weather. The industry did not grow from New York, the traditional transit hub; it came to Miami, helping the region itself grow as the public discovered an entirely new way to take a vacation. Wilhelmsen saw the potential for cruising to become the fastest growing segment in a growing vacation industry.  A believer in economies of scale, he once recalled, "My initial challenge was to convince my partners and management in Miami to build bigger and more efficient ships in order to grow the company."  True to his vision, the company now sails 61 ships calling on all seven continents and its fleet features the largest cruise ships in the world. Born on June 15, 1929, in Oslo, Norway, Wilhelmsen earned his MBA at Harvard Business School and worked as a chartering assistant for Norway's EB Lund & Co. and later as a shipbroker in New York. After joining the family business in 1954, he became its president in 1961. The scion of a leading Norwegian shipping concern – Anders Wilhelmsen & Co AS – he spent most of his life in the family business, including an early stint as a deckhand. "Arne was a steady presence and source of wisdom on our board for decades," Fain said. "And in 2003, when he was ready to step back, he was succeeded on the RCL board by his son, Alex, who has carried the involvement of the Wilhelmsen family in charting our company's course into its sixth decade. Our high standards as a company, our insistence on excellence in operations and design, and our determination to persevere all owe a great deal to the long-term vision of Arne, Alex and the Wilhelmsen family. We salute our friend, and we will miss him dearly."

“It doesn’t matter where we start from*...” Carla Lonzi, Autoritratto, 1969. Autobiography, self-portrait, story. Associating places, images, words. Freely, with fresh eyes. For this fall- winter 2020-2021 ready-to-wear collection, Maria Grazia Chiuri maps out an atlas of emotions through the prism of her teenage diary. Two photos of her mother transport her back to this time in her life, a laboratory brimming with possibilities of what the future may hold. Images reappear, including photos of actresses who served as inspiration for clients of her mother’s couture atelier, as well as for the Creative Director herself, who used fashion as a way of asserting herself, of rebelling, and communicating to others how she wanted to be perceived. Next came other photos from the past that she revisits with her vision today: Germana Marucelli’s studio in Milan, designed by artist Paolo Scheggi; that of Mila Schön by Ugo Mulas and, lastly, portraits of Carla Accardi. This arborescent diagram inspired Maria Grazia Chiuri’s very own The Little Dictionary of Fashion**, with jeans, as well as the checks that Monsieur Dior was so fond of. “I love checks. They can be fancy and simple; elegant and easy; young and always right***.” Checks resurface on an ensemble designed by Marc Bohan: it’s this outfit, with the motif placed on the bias, that inspired the structure of the collection’s skirts. There’s also the pea coat and pleated skirts. Little collars with ties. Black and white. All this is at the heart of a perfectly balanced collection. A polka dot scarf found in the Dior archives serves as the starting point for a series of dresses in various lengths that explore the print’s infinite possibilities. As Christian Dior writes in his The Little Dictionary of Fashion: “I would say the same about dots as about checks. They are lovely, elegant, easy and always in fashion.***” Not to mention fringes, which provide mobile ornamentation on long skirts. Knitwear spans all the wardrobe essentials: sweaters, jackets, skirts, and pants. The show venue was designed in collaboration with the Claire Fontaine collective, which has exhibited at the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome. The museum is also home to the archives of Carla Lonzi, a charismatic figure who was an art critic before committing to the feminist cause. “Io Dico Io – I Say I ****”, the title of an upcoming exhibition dedicated to Italian women artists, supported by Dior, becomes the starting point for a series of manifesto-like phrases. Evoking these words in English – “I say I” – right at the show’s entrance brings to life a story of powerful self-assertion. They are the symbol of a joyful singularity, as well as a creative and collective way of approaching the multiple aspects of feminine subjectivity — and the infinite project that femininity represents.

Produced with Dior’s support, it is loosely based on the feminist manifesto of Carla Lonzi, which inspired this collection and the pieces designed for the show.
