Hussain Chowk, MM Alam Road, Lahore.
Komal Nasir has become known for her creative designs in a very short
time. And when this exhibition was held at the Fashion Central Multi
Brand Store, it attracted celebrities, fashionistas, socialites and mem-
bers of the print and electronic media.
Komal believes that the beauty of an outfit comes alive if it is worn as a
whole. This concept is apparent in her products and during the exhibi-
tion the combination of Shawl scarf, Dupatta, Shirt and Shalwar were all
classy. The colors she used were bright and bold and her work showed
an innate fondness for intricate embellished embroidery. The Resham,
Marrori, Sequins and Gota work were unmistakably rich.

VICTORIA’S SECRETFASHION SHOWRUNWAY
The models put on another show-stopping performance as they
graced the catwalk at Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show for the lingerie
giant's annual extravaganza. Forbes has estimated that the 47 models
hitting the catwalk that night belong to a category that made more
than $50 million in combined paychecks in 2015.
The 2015 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show saw the world’s most beautiful
models take to the runway in New York in a blaze of bright colours, racy
outfits, elaborate wings and other fabulous props.
Behati Prinsloo, Adam Levine’s other half, opened the show dressed in
a pair of dazzling wings, while VS veteran Alessandra Ambrosio
followed close behind in an equally show-stopping outfit.
Kendall Jenner was a total natural as she made her show debut. With
her never ending legs on display as well as her trim tummy in a variety
lace lingerie looks, the reality star looked simply stunning.
South African beauty Candice Swanepoel also dazzled in a colourful
embellished bikini set and giant multicoloured wings. While Candice's
fellow veteran Angel Lily Aldridge, who was chosen to wear the $2 mil-
lion Fantasy Bra this year, sent temperatures soaring in an equally
skimpy bright red two piece.
Ellie Goulding, who replaced Rihanna at the last minute, with the Week-
end and Selena Gomez all took to the stage to sing as the models sash-
ayed past them.

and a mesmerizing showcase of gowns and jackets.

vents away the free radicals that damage the skin of the face. It is all natural

ated beauty products.

At last the bad hair spell bound of the autumn has surpassed and winter
welcomes better hair. Winter is a season for prevention. Prevention against
colds and what people state is ‘blues’. Well there are certainly blues for the
hair as well. Yes, folks today’s agenda is the hair care during winters. The
bathing routine in winters requires the consumption of hot water. This hot
water on one side provides the body with relaxations yet it damages our
hair brutally. The usage of hot water baths squint and quench away the
moisture out of the hair, leaving them dry and extremely fizzy.
These fizz later results into extensive tangles that disturb the momentum of
the hair beauty! Not only this, hot water baths are the main source of dan-
druff during the winters. So let’s call this season a challenge for the hair to
be maintained. Well, we are ready to take this challenge and today are going
to present on tips for haircare during the winters for those long hairs of
yours. People with shot care can also benefit from the tips. After all, hair is
hair! So ladies there you go:

Beauty & Health
HAIR CARE TIPS IN WINTER
Wash your hair with mild warm water. We recommend you to wash them
with cold water. This cold water washing
helps your hair to maintain the moisture
and not amaging it up to the level, like the
hot water does!
Another tip is the application of Aloe Vera juice on the scalp. This again
helps prevent the dry hair and dried scalp.
Thus working up against the dandruff.
You can maintain the moisture by
application of mayonnaise on your hair. It
contains essentials from egg and oils hence
giving it the nutrition it requires in the
winters.
Massage raw milk on your hair for 60
minutes. It shines the hair and keeps it
hydrated.
Use the hot oil treatment for your hair.
Especially treatment from the coconut oil
during winters.
Apply the mixture of Methi leaves, black pepper, a few drops of lemon juice
and salt. Mix them together and drink it to
enhance the growth of the hair during the
winters.
Brush the hair before going to bed. It
increases the blood circulation in the scalp
which helps in maintain the hair.
To prevent the split ends in winter apply olive oil and take steam over it. This
is to prevent the split ends and this the
maintenance of hair during winters.
Dry hair? Major problem?Let’s sort this problem off. Select a
suitable conditioner for that hair of
yours and use it regularly. This is to
cover the damage of the hot water
that has ben fizzing up your lately.
This prevents them from damage and thus makes them tips. We wish that strong
throughout the season. So there you go with the tips.mainating we wish you all the
best. Happy Maintaining!
To get rid of the dandruff problem, apply the paste of jigger, curd and Mela-nin mitti onto your scalp almost 60 minutes before shampooing. This decreases
the dandruff. So, these are the tips for the treatment of long strong hair during
winters.

Fashion & Trends
There is no doubt that Kylie Jenner may be one of the most fashion-
able teenagers out there. She may be the youngest of the Kar-
dashian family, but her wardrobe is more enviable than all of her
older sisters! If you are religiously scroll through her Instagram and
keep up with her Snapchat stories, there is no doubt that you would
want to copy her style. Or if you just want to infuse a little Kylie with
your otherwise bland closet, try these hacks ensuring you will dress
to impress, as well as mirror Jenner's fashionable outfits. You don't
even need to be a Kardashian to dress similarly, as the younger
sister of gorgeous and successful model Kendall Jenner mixes edgy
street style with chic elements in a way that feels totally accessible -
and affordable - to us normal citizens.
KYLIE JENNER'S STYLE HACKS TOREFRESH YOUR WARDROBE
When choosing a floral sarong or dress covered with flowers, that pattern is the focal point of the outfit. It can easily stand alone. Therefore, don't try to compete with it or overwhelm it with other busy prints. Instead, choose complementary acces-sories that enhance it.
Wear Black. Yes, it sounds
too simple. But it does work.
Kylie is often seen wearing
black, whether it is a casual
LA sighting, or a more glam-
orous gown for an awards
show, do not underestimate
the power of this seemingly
simple colour. It's flattering,
slimming, looks good with
everything, and incredibly
versatile. No wonder not only
Kylie, but her stylish older
sisters are frequently seen in
this hue too. Black outfits
work day and night, whatever
the occasion, so be sure to
collect timeless black pieces.
Ideas to start you off could
be a tailored blazer, a pea-
coat, a dress, jeans and even
a stylish blouse.
Lace-up Boots. Want to
update your tame black or
suede ankle boots? Follow
Kylie and try thigh-high lace
up boots. They may scare
you as they seem like a bit
too much, but they can
easily dress up a little black
dress or a crop top and
shorts combo. Be prepared
to be the centre of atten-
tion, as these boots are
attractive. Try wearing these
with a gown with a thigh-
high split to infuse Holly-
wood glamour with grunge.
Or opt for ankle-length lace
up boots with ripped skin-
nies and a white shirt. But if
they are good for Kylie
Jenner, then they are defi-
nitely good for you too!
Statement Pieces. If you follow Kylie on Instagram, then you probably understand. It could be
a gorgeous Hermes handbag or a Balmain sequinned blazer, but any statement item is guar-
anteed to make a boring look turn amazing. Going to a formal dinner but its too cold to wear
your strappy black dress? A sequinned or embroidered blazer thrown on top will instantly add
glamour and make you stand out. The same would look great paired with a simple office suit,
taking the look from day to night. Happy with your outfit but looks too grey and dull? A rose
gold or white and gold handbag or clutch will surely give the "fashion blogger" look, as well as
making others jealous of your new attractive arm candy. Even a leather jacket can be a great
investment, as it gives a "biker-chic" look to your getup. Plus, Kylie loves them.
Jeans. Another simple
tip, and one which you
might already have.
Whether it's short
shorts or shredded
skinnies, the Keeping
Up With The Kardashi-
ans beauty does wear
jeans a lot, and of
course, looks incredibly
great. Don't be afraid to
trade in your normal
denims for a ripped
pair. They suit most
people. You could even
buy a white pair, and
wear them with a nude
or black top and
pointed-toe heels,
which will earn a nod of
approval from Kylie
herself, as well as
showcasing a new,
clean and modern
update. As for shorts,
the pairs with torn
hems are flattering,
and look equally good,
especially if you have
toned legs to show
them off. Oh, and the
lace-up boots the 18-
year-old reality star
swears by.
Earthy, Neutral Tones.
Excluding her hair, Kylie
Jenner opts for neutral
colours for her stylish
outfits. Although they are
more daring than her
elder siblings', the tones
keep them looking classic
and stylish. Gone are the
days when white, brown,
beige and tan were con-
sidered "old people
colours" - now, Jenner
incorporates them in her
huge closet, and they
look anything but boring.
It's a great idea to include
simple pieces in your
closet too. After all, 'less
is more'. Try a tan dress
in your next Christmas
party, with some sequins
or crystal embroidery, for
a classy and elegant style.
A beige coat is also a
must investment,
because as we know, it is
extremely in vogue and
looks very put together
over your winter closet.

Men Interest
Teenagers are fascinated by having beards. It is the dream of every
teen ager boy to get the best look out of a beard. They find beards
to be one of the most presentable forms of appearance. For a fact
that they are growing up and want to show the ‘Man’ inside them
hence here is to the various looks they can have in beards. Let’s
have a look around and see what styles we have to offer them as
suggestions.
BEST BEARD STYLES FOR TEENAGERS
1. Medium hair and beard. Oh yes, nothing
looks better than this look.
It is one of the promising
and sincere manly looks
that the teenagers urge to
have. This look may have
the essence of a medium
length hair cut, more
suited on the silky yet
wavy hair. This combina-
tion works like magic on
the appearance.
2. Long hair and beard. Well, this look
here works well with all
the hair types. Be it
straight, wavy or curly. The
trick is to chop the hair in
manly layers and let the
beard grow. This is a
pleasant beard look for
the teenagers, those who
aim to become the man
3. The subtle stubble look! Well, this is the kind of look that rocks on every teenager.
It describes their transition through childhood to manhood. This includes a decent boy’s
haircut, the classic cuts along with letting traces of prickelish beard. Thus it doesn’t por-
tray as a complete man yet gives them the appearance they want to lead with!
4. Oh well another go go taker look is the squarish look. This comes with a
square type beard cut and similar essence in the haircut. This look is another try on for
the teenagers beard looks. This might be new, but this is fun. Yet it makes the person
stand out. Risk and exposure to fashion are a big combination. Why not try them?
5. For a teenage beard look, it is a suggestion
for the boys to keep their beards to the jawline,
keep a light moustache and let their hair grow long.
Well, yes there boys we are calling out for that
Korean look. It surely runs good on those Asian fea-
tures of yours. Well, that’s a good fair style to hang
on to.
6. Elite Guy’s Style is another look to make you stand out. The purpose here is to let your
beard grow near to your jawline, but it should be
thick enough. You should shave it as it approaches
your cheeks. While keeping your hair in long flip
from the front. Now that’s the elite boy’s style you
are craving for in the teenage boys beard looks.
7. Get that relaxed and reju-nivated look by gelling/ slicking
your hair in a back brushed look
while growing a thick mane beard
at the frontal look. Yes, that’s
another manly look for the teen-
ager boys to target!
8. The biker boy’s look. Oh
well, who doesn’t die for that look.
With the best brushed waves of
the haircut and the rugged yet
thin moustache look on the face.
That’s the kind of beard look teen-
ager boys crave at having.
9. Highly stylized circular mous-tache with a circular beard on the chin
combo is the best which works best with
the little trace of a beard on the jawline.
This is another look for teenager’s
beards to go for.
10. Taylor Lautner Beard with Spiky Hair. Well. This beard here is
surely a way to attract the manhood
around the teenager.
So, there you go fellows enjoy these variant look of beards for teenagers and grab on the style. Happy Bearding!
Isn’t a pool just a giant tub of chlorinated water? How the hell do they get so
expensive, then? Marble, water slides, mosaic tiles, and other awe-inspiring
elements – that’s how.
While researching the most expensive pools built throughout the world,
some sources agreed and others had different ideas about which pools are
the most expensive. Such a thing seems strange to argue over; either a pool
costs $10 million or it doesn’t. I guess, though, that some sources might
take inflation into consideration or others might convert currencies more
liberally.
Whether this list is factual or as potentially untrustworthy as the ones I
sifted through, a sparkling line-up of incredibly expensive and luxurious
pools is what this is about, and we delivered.

Luxury Living
WORLD MOST EXPENSIVE SWIMMING POOLS
Hearst Castle, USAIt already sounds perfectly stunning and regal. “Where do you take the kids to
swim?” “Oh, we live at the Hearst Castle, so we just swim in that $10 million pool we
have lying around in the backyard.”
But really, this pool – or pools, I suppose, as the Hearst Castle actually boasts 2
pools – was built around 1924 to the tune of $10 million. In case you were wonder-
ing, that’s a sweet sounding tune.
We’re not sure whether that’s $10 million in 1924 or $10 million our time, but we’re
hoping the latter, because the former undermines everything we’ve ever dreamed
the 20s looked like.
Can we call a castle a “crib”?
The elegant pool, built with marble and mosaic tiles, is privately owned by Mr. Wil-
liam Randolph Hearst, and apparently this is his castle. Move over, MTV.
By the way, this fancy pool in California is the first and last time we see the USA on
the list. It seems America’s unique craft for engineering all things absurdly lavish is
– wait for it – sinking. Ah, see what I did there?
5.
4.
Lev Leviev Residence, United KingdomThis pool is equally as expensive and just as private as the last mas-
terpiece. Situated in London, the pool is owned by an “Israeli busi-
nessman” who — one should assume — goes by the name Lev
Leviev.
The pool to accompany the city of gold?It’s easy to understand how the pool racked up such a high price tag
when I tell you that it was constructed with mosaic tiles and gold. Yes,
gold. I think I’ve read similar descriptions in the Bible, making this
pool the most heavenly on our list!
Also heavenly (or at least that’s what I hear) are the spa and steam
bath associated with the giant pool. The Lev Leviev probably didn’t
need anything more to make it the perfect venue for relaxation, but
that mysterious businessman is apparently a bit of a spendthrift. Oh,
did the $10 million pool give that away?
SeaGaia Ocean Dome, JapanThis $2 billion structure makes a mockery of those measly $10 million pools we
just ooed and awed over. Oh well, onto bigger and better things!
Speaking of big things, the Ocean Dome is the largest indoor pool in the world,
coming in at a whopping 328,000 square feet. Don’t quote me on that number; I
did the math myself. You get the idea – unbelievably massive indoor pool.
The only stereotypical surfer joke I’ll make all day…
The pool boasts a gnarly artificial wave pool, and I say gnarly only because surfers
take to these artificial waves like they’re the real things. Also included are mock
volcanoes. In case the fear of being trapped in the undercurrent of the wave pool
wasn’t enough, you can focus on the sound of artificial volcanic eruptions.
The giant Ocean Dome is also equipped with a water slide area. This pool (if you
can call it that) is perfect for every water lover. Surfers, waterpark enthusiasts,
swimmers, and volcano fans can all gather here in unrivaled merriment.
3.
San Alfonso, ChileAnother $2 billion pool, the San Alfonso sees the Ocean Dome’s “largest indoor
pool” and raises it a 2008 Guinness World Record. Well played, Chile. The giant
swimming pool took about 5 years to build, and with good reason; it’s about 20
acres in size. You thought maintaining a 20-acre yard was exhausting - how about
the pool maintenance for this beast?
I suppose the real question is: how do they fill that enormous swimming pool? With
filtered sea water, which makes sense, since the ocean is the only source of water
large enough to fill such a pool.
Maybe the water we see on Earth from space is San Alfonso rather than the sea…
Did I mention the pool gets up to 11 feet deep? It almost seems masochistic how
difficult they’ve made filling this thing. I bet the maintenance crew cringes every
time some over enthusiastic swimmer launches a cannonball into the water, quiv-
ering as that precious water splashes out of the enormous pool.
2.
City of Stars, EgyptThe most expensive pool in the world is the City of Stars, situated in Sharm el Sheikh.
Fun fact: the enormous lagoon-esque pool structure is made by Crystal Lagoons,
which also has its signature on the our last pool, the San Alfonso in Chile.
Along with the largest, 21-acre lagoon, there are 11 other lagoons staggered through-
out this tourist attraction. Of course this project rang up a bill of about $5.5 billion,
which is arguably more than most of our dates cost (though it doesn’t appear that way
at the mall, does it?).
2. 1.
Crystal Lagoons, you clever pool experts.Just like the San Alfonso, and probably because it’s
pioneered by the same team, the water to fill the
lagoons is pulled from the sea and filtered through
technology that was specially created by Crystal
Lagoons.
If you research expensive pools, you might not find
this behemoth on the list, because it’s relatively
new compared to several others usually named.
Constructed in 2009, the City
of Stars easily surpassed all of
the pools previously hailed as
the most expensive.
Crystal Lagoons is a group to
keep an eye on. They have a
seemingly continuous outflow
of major, awe-inspiring pro-
jects, including lavish golf
courses and water parks.
Should you ever have the
burning desire to swim in an
incredibly large, lavish, or
expensive pool or manmade
beach (and you should), you’ve
got enough material here to
work with. While I’ve never
visited the City of Stars or
heard the crack of Seagaia’s
artificial volcanoes, I’m confi-
dent none of these sites would
disappoint you or your wan-
derlust.
Holidaying in some far flung island is probably the best way to de-
stress. Nothing beats the idea of relaxing in a remote land floating
amid endlessly stretching water. Islands provide the perfect outing
destination whether be it a romantic getaway, or a relaxing sojourn.
Even the kids seem to enjoy the tropical islands with unending sun
and sand. Here is a list of the top 10 spectacular islands of the world!

10 Spectacular Islands of The World

Falkland Island
In South-West Atlantic
Ocean 300 miles east of
Patagonian coast lies
the disputed territory of
the Falkland Island or
Islas Malvinas. Currently
a British land which the
Argentines are trying to
get control over, the
political troubles cannot
underestimate the
island’s natural beauty
which is most popular
for its penguins.
Falkland Island gives you the best opportunity of watching penguins without risking an
Antarctic voyage.
Majuli Island, India
If islands on the seas and
oceans are too main-
stream for you then give
this offbeat island peep-
ing out of river Brahma-
putra a try. Majuli is the
largest river island in the
world. Tucked away in
the North-Eastern
fringes of India, Majuli is
mostly inhabited by
people undisturbed by
‘modernity’. It can offer
some rare sneak-peek
into the life of the tropical tribes. With greenery galore Majuli is also famous as a bird
watching spot!
10.
9.
Bazaruto Archipelago, MozambiqueFelicitated by the title “Pearl of The Indian Ocean” Bazaruto archipelago rightly earned
this honour. One of Africa’s virgin beauties, the island flaunts it all. The white sand, the
infinite blue and the option of delving into luxury all are abundantly available here.
What sets this island apart is its rich population of fauna. Whale sharks, manta rays,
dolphins, turtles to name a few are permanent residents of the water around the
island.
Go to visit Capri once and there is a heavy
chance you may never want to leave. This
is that dream place in our imagination
which has an unsustainable perfection
about it. Its legendary beauty grasped the
kings, artists, popular personalities and
the common man alike. History, art and
culture form the heart and soul of Capri. It
is a magnificent island with exotic villas
and mysterious caves which open and

Obviously, this island does not need any introduction.
The contribution of Galapagos in framing up of
Darwin’s –“The Theory Of Natural Selection” is known
by all. If the travel bloggers’ and videographers’
records’ are to be believed then people who set foot
here cry while leaving the island. It is very easy to fall
in love with the unique animals found nowhere else in
the world. Watching a hundred thousand varieties of
living beings existing peacefully without human
disturbances in the ‘moonland’ type volcanic geogra-
phy is once in a lifetime experience.
Bali, IndonesiaWhen the small Hindu population of Indonesia thought of nestling somewhere, they chose
Bali. In Bali, Hinduism is much more than just a religion, it is a lifestyle, a disposition which
is hard to ignore. Warm locals efficient in skilled craftsmanship can teach you lots of new
things. Get enthralled by interesting temples and out of the world mythological tales. Expe-
rience the unique essence of the Balinese people and make a memory to be treasured
for life.

How can a list of spectacular Islands be complete
without Santorini! Santorini is actually an active
volcano perched in the sea. With amazing architec-
ture and velvety wine it makes for aromantic holiday
destination. The orange and golden rays of the set-
ting sun kissing the snow coloured houses hanging
from the cliffs in an uncannily fine-tuned rhythm is
like a poem by nature. A traveler cannot help but
wonder what it would be like to live here forever!
Santorini, Greece
Bora Bora Island, TahitiSeclusion, luxury, nature and the horizon-less blue describes Bora Bora. It is the leading destination of the French Polynesian cluster of island in South Pacific Ocean. If ‘blue’ is a word carelessly used by you to express stress then a visit to this island will change that per-spective of your’s forever. Turquoise is the colour which rules here with towering rainfor-ests and iconic ‘floating’ bunglows. Though considered a honeymooners’ hotspot Bora Bora also offers a whole array of water sports like snorkelling and scuba diving.

SeychellesIt is perfectly understandable if you visit Seychelles and refuse to return ever! Captivat-
ing pristine white sand beaches and trickling azure water will stupefy you for days. The
feel of the soft sands here is something unique which is found in no other part of the
world. Ecotourism is in vogue and there is endless option for those who want to
splurge. Environmental restrictions are very strictly followed in this tiny island country
and its rich biodiversity is responsibly preserved.

FASHION CENTRAL EXCLUSIVE TALK WITH DESIGNER ZIL E BATOOL OF ZIL _ JEWELRY & ACCESSORIES
How do you perceive fashion and style, what
impact does it form in terms of Jewellery?
Fashion itself is a popular style, that can vary
in different manners but yes in terms of Jew-
elry it enhance the beauty of adorning one’s
self by his or her choice of aesthetic. In the
current age everyone loves to wear jewelry
whether a women or a man, from wearable
functional jewelry to non-wearable jewelry as
sculpture aesthetic attracts the eye of
beholder and this is what I believe in while
creating every design whether it’s a part of
my commercial jewelry or conceptual Jew-
elry.
What inspired you to become a Jewelry
Designer?
My drawings always triggered me to commu-
nicate through intricate and minimal motifs;
therefore I found jewelry as mini sculpture
that was my urge to explore mixed materials,
gems and contemporary approach to revise
the traditional designs into new forms.
How do you stay up to date with new trends?
For me the new forms are important for
instance previously long earrings used to
wear even at a workplace but today the cus-
tomer is well aware for what to wear and
when, that actually makes my life easier to
concentrate on design and its functionality
besides that when I create the piece it sug-
gests the customer by itself that what suits
them the best.
Who is your ideal guru in Jewelry Design
field?
I idealize Louis Cartier being a successful
businessmen and Cartier’s best ever Jewelry
collections worth to educate anyone in this
filed. René Lalique, Henry Dunay and above
all in conceptual jewelry of Salvador Dali with
his precious mini sculptural pieces always
been my center of attraction. But in tradi-
tional Jewelry nothing can defeat the elegant,
extravagant Mughal motifs , Nizam’s Jewelry
treasure made a great impact upon me to
understand how I can revise the traditional
motifs with fusion of materials , imitation
Kundan with concave mirrors is one such
example that is no less than the real kundan
with gold.
What is the biggest challenge about being a jewellery designer?
Hmmm,… well nothing but the ignorance of the customer who has worth to pay for an exclu-
sive product but these days people buy whatever they like and especially the artificial jewelry
is inn to attract every class. Yet I believe in design and creativity that attracts the client at any
cost and I think that would be a new trend to make a good market in the next few years. Strong
aesthetics always appeal good strength.
Kindly share with us what projects are you
working on?
I has recently participated in Jun 2015 at the
52nd Saint Marie aux Mines / Minerals &
Gems Show in Alsace, France. I am working
for conceptual jewelry titled Transmission
-exhibition at Montpellier, France on 20th
Oct 2015. It is an interesting installation of a
neck piece which is also used in my video art
as prop as well , in this regard I am not just
exhibiting jewelry, in fact it’s an artwork that
will portray jewelry as sculpture. Coming up
next are exhibition of my brand Zil_ Jewelry &
accessories and many more exciting art pro-
jects.
Any special likings for a particular material or
do you just choose out of what is available?
I am selective being aesthetically sound to
project the accurate material according to
the design that I create. But I always try to
manage my customer’s need in terms of
budget. End of the day I have to make my
customer happy, therefore I give maximum
possibilities to my clients to choose the best
they like but this for customized Jewelry. The
manufactured articles are mainly in mixed
materials. But above all I am maintaining the
quality of my product that is my major con-
cern to give strength to precious gems.
Where do you see your label in the next 5
years?
Must be at an international platform where I
can exhibit the exclusive culture art and aes-
thetics of my land through my rich creativity
to adorn a good strength through contem-
porary Jewelry under the shed of my brand.
Where would you like your career in this field
to lead you to?
I am establishing my brand at the moment to
a level where I would be able to provide the
best product with best design and best qual-
ity materials; therefore I have a strong
believe in myself after My God that hard
work and consistency always shine a new
sun for an achiever.
Is customer’s criticism any help in making
creative designs?
Yes it does, in fact customer is the boss and
in terms of adornment you can’t force
anyone to wear something without his or her
will. Customer is always right yet I also inter-
vene to assist my client to understand the
best aesthetics and towards an affordable
quality Jewelry piece.
Do you also aim for international exposure?
Offcourse I am already working on many projects at international platforms , yet the
base of my thoughts always enrich the understanding towards my land’s rich culture, art
and heritage that always comes first to project my work in front of the world. Inter-
national or national exposure is nothing till the time one understands the dynamics
of its creativity and the purpose of projecting that work even if its jewelry.

seven-year-old twinsKnox and Vivienne with husband Brad Pitt –
would love to spend more time with her six kids if she wasn’t so busy
in front and behind the camera, reported Entertainment Tonight. “I
think I’d just be home being a mom more. I love being a mommy. I
love my kids so I’d just stay home.”
Meanwhile, the 40-year-old actress previously revealed her children
think she is a bit “weird”. “They think I’m weird. Well, alright, they
might. Maddox talks to me sometimes about writing as if he doesn’t
think I’m terrible at it and Vivienne is just happy I’m a tiger in a panda
movie. But, ah, she’s just a little one – she’s all sweet. “I mean, there
are moments when I can be cool, but they like to mess with me. They
