VIVA Dubai
I’m super excited to announce that VIVA Dubai has chosen me for their beauty feature in the July issue! I had completely forgotten about it (we shot in April) and stumbled across the magazine by accident today as I passed a newsstand. What a great surprise! I love the result! It’s probably one of the more natural magazine editorials I’ve done. I’m talking about minimal make-up and natural hair. The flashy color (it is summer after all) of my Chloé dress would still be considered low key for Dubai. The feature covers the beauty routine of 3 woman living in Dubai: “Three gorgeous Dubai personalities tell us all about their personal beauty philosophies, the products they cant live without and what they really spend on their beauty essentials.” I’m flattered! I’m not just happy with the result but the shoot was a lot of fun too! I got to work with the talented Isidora Bojovic (www.isidorabojovic.com/) again, who has photographed me three times now. The first time we worked together was for the Body Glove calendar shoot, which I did for Shape Magazine, when I had just moved to Dubai and the second time was for Harper’s Bazaar Best Dressed 2013. I also need to point out the necklace and ring by Mimivert (www.mimivert.com). Swiss born and NYC based designer Miriam Josi uses medieval inspired shapes, like a crest, crown or fleur de lys in gold and silver. Although they’re somewhat chunky they come across as quite minimalist and simple. By the way- the rest of the magazine is pretty good as well! Ha ha! So grab a copy before they’re sold out! ;-)
