Alessia is a nurse, one of those people who have witnessed closely the disastrous effects of the Covid Emergency. She became a symbol of the dramatic days we lived with the famous photo of her face showing the painful marks left by the high protection mask worn throughout the working shift. Alessia posted it on social media and openly confesses her fear of contamination, the physical discomfort of working in those conditions, and the psychological fatigue caused by the tension accumulated. The post became viral, and so did Alessia - amazed at the solidarity received. Alessia looks at the future as a chance to approach a new beginning: changing peacefully our minds, bodies, and relationships. Watch the interview and listen to the Voice of Alessia Bonari!
Hillary Jocson lives in Milan, the city of fashion, where one of the most popular jobs here is modeling. Hillary tells us her story of a model “sui generis”. She uses her social media to show the behind-the-scenes of photoshoots she takes part. She has a message of empowerment for girls who would like to approach fashion but don't even try because they find themselves unsuitable and uninteresting. As if to say: 'Hey girls, look here, do not be the first judge of yourselves, do not stop for limits that you set yourselves. Just as I became a model, you too should chase your dream. It won't be easy, of course, but with no challenge, what's the taste? Watch the interview and discover Hillary Jocson!
Roberta is a pianist, composer, songwriter, and artistic director. Her life is full of passion for everything related to theaters, musicals, and soundtracks. She can manage different musical genres as jazz, swing, pop, contemporary, and ambient. In her latest concept album, released in 2019 for Warner Classics and titled “Disarm” Roberta experiments with unfamiliar sounds in contrast with the trendy piano minimalism. The message of her music is very clear: disarming is giving oneself to the other and allowing to let go, to accept us, to be free from fears, and to bring down the walls that we have built around us. The disarmament that Roberta talks about touches everyone, but we can achieve it only together. We can reach a state of disarmament if we trust each other and support each other, especially between women. Watch the interview!

Miza Mayi is a talented artist. Her beautiful voice can create a perfect mix between soul, electro-pop, electric jazz, lounge, and funky.

Allure.com September 13, 2021 Getty Images Jennifer Lopez may have surprised everyone when she unexpectedly showed up at the VMAs as a presenter, but we were fully prepared for the icon's arrival at the 2021 Met Gala. OK, that's not entirely true — one can never truly be prepared for JLo is going to bring to the red carpet other than glamour, and considering it's fashion's biggest night of the year, it calls for a beauty look that lives up to the moment. In the past, Lopez has left onlookers in awe with her Met Gala gorgeousness. She wore a sleekly pulled-back yet long and flowy retro hairstyle to go with her equally long and flowy frock at the 2017 Met Gala. Her 2018 look went in the completely opposite direction when she cut off her hair into a bob mere moments before her arrival. And we couldn't even see her hair in 2019 because she wore a dangling beaded headpiece. Once again this year, it's a bit hard to spot Lopez's hair thanks to the cowboy hat she wore atop a look styled by hairstylist Lorenzo Martin for Wella Professionals. Catch her from the side or behind, however, and you can see she's wearing a super long, teased ponytail, the rugged texture going perfectly with her sparkling western-inspired Ralph Lauren look. (And yes, that's faux fur.) To create the long pony we added Great Lengths 20 tape-ins, Martin shared, adding that he teased the hair with GHD Tail Comb at the roots before clipping it in for an stronger hold and then followed up by curling the hair with GHD Curve Soft Curl Iron. He then mixed Wella EIMI Dry Me Shampoo with the Wella Shape Shift Molding Gum with Shine Finish for texture. Makeup artist Scott Barnes gave Lopez a very-true-to-JLo look, with a pinky-nude lip, golden, glowing skin, and smouldering smoky eyes. And you can bet her skin was prepped with her own JLo Beauty products, starting with her That Hit Single Gel Cream Cleanser and culminating with That Star Filter Complexion Booster.
