Very, very Lotta Volkova

Lotta Volkova. An absolutely Russian underground lady who injected the fashion with the new sexy energy. Lotta Volkova - a lady of the moment which currency is her taste and her taste is a cocktail of an aesthetic, inspired by fetishism, punk, West, East and soviet street culture. Her idea of style is not what we dress, but how we think. Lotta Volkova is not afraid to say that “conventionally beautiful things are boring”. Lotta’s last project is a spicy collaboration with Jean Paul Gaultier, the fashion’s enfant terrible. “It was an incredible honor to be able to discover the archives, obsess and fetishise -  reimagine the iconic Jean Paul Gaultier collections in the context of 2022 reintroducing them into a contemporary wardrobe. My purpose was to capture the quintessence...

Emotional space – Zadie Smith

Emotional space - Zadie Smith “I have a very messy and chaotic mind” - says Zadie Smith. She is the vital literary voice in our messy and chaotic globalized world. Jamaican in the Great Britain, writer, mother and female. Zadie’s philosophy is that the past is always tense, but the future is perfect. One of her greatest regret is not being able to live two completely different lives simultaneously. One of her biggest passion is English language and the most treasured possession is rhetoric. Smith’s formula of perfect happiness could be “reading quietly, in high grass, among loved ones ( who are quietly reading). Followed by a boozy lunch”. In her childhood, her mother suggested her to read black American fiction and her best reading experiences were with...

Deepica Mutyala – Something larger than her

Deepica Mutyala - Something larger than her „I grew up in a world where people who looked like me weren’t represented in the media and definitely not in the beauty industry“ - - says Deepica Mutyala, Indian beauty entrepreneur. Growing up in Texas surrounded by girls with blonde hair and blue eyes, she couldn’t find her beauty shade or “in between” skin tones. As a young lady Deepica Mutyala used to hide her face under an umbrella so she wouldn’t get darker. She wanted to change almost everything regarding her look and make-up Indian rules as wearing kajal liner and red lipstick in traditional dance. “I wanted to create a brand for people who look like me so we can finally be a part of the...

Sally Rooney – Who is that Irish girl?

Sally Rooney - Who is that Irish girl? Who is Sally Rooney? Let’s guess – “literary superstar”, “the first great millennial novelist”, “the voice of a generation” or “Salinger for the Snapchat generation”. Nowadays reading Sally Rooney became some kind of a status symbol and  Instagram status symbol, too. Even Barack Obama was interested in Sally’s work so he took one of her books on the holiday. “My parents have definitely influenced my values and political outlook. They are both feminists and socialists, and both raised me to believe very passionately in the equality of all human beings. But they were also normal parents, working full-time, trying to raise three small children. They weren’t sitting us down in the evenings and making us recite passages of The Communist Manifesto or...

A Hard Day’s Night - Kate Garraway “I’m not sure that we’ve ever fallen out of love, but I think a new path is emerging, a new way to be in love” says Kate Garraway, popular tv presenter of Good Morning Britain. In the last two years she felt her faith. Very painful. It’s new chapter in her family life and marriage, strong attempt to discover a new formula of living. What did change the formula of happiness in Kate Garraway's life? Two years ago her husband Derek Draper, a PR and a former lobbyist, caught Covid with bad impact on his body and mind “He puts huge trust in me. He just says, “Whatever you think”, which is wonderful, but I do get quite tearful about it....

Shaking the banking system by Anne Boden

Shaking the banking system by Anne Boden Banking mogul? A creator of the new bank’s face? A shot of good ideas? A first-hand account of one woman’s quest to rebuild Britain’s broken banking system? A computer scientist nerd without finance education but with financial intuition? A funny lady with the head office in Southampton – a spa office where people dressed in white bath robes strolling between treatments? That’s not all when we talk about Anne Boden. Comparing to  the other world bankers Boden is always ready to laugh like a good neighbour who is always ready for a fun or a drink at midnight. “I think I’m a very different sort of banker”.  It’s true - you could see dancing in her ads: “I must admit, if there’s...
