Al Wasl Dress – The FACE-OF the WFFA 2021 by Saif Rahman Sozib In a very challenging year, when we almost felt like the world stopped in time. When seeing each other was perceived as a "mission impossible" due to pandemic restrictions, World Fashion Festival Awards was one of the best online platforms to engage worldwide designers to "think outside the box" and innovate fashion under the current circumstances.

With reflection to the WFFA concept of bringing together the ART, CULTURE, BEAUTY and FASHION under one umbrella, "The Summer Battlefield" was the opportunity to compete online for several categories: BEST Dress, BEST Collection, and BEST Fashion Accessories. Taking a cue from the key theme on which the "Expo 2020" World Fair was based, the bridal collection "AL-WASL" was created as the "Connection" (nb: the translation of Al-Wasl). Al-Wasl by Silvia Actis Perino was the winner of the Section: Best Dress of "The Summer Battlefield" which was proudly awarded as the Face-Of the 2021 WFFA Edition 4 because of the unique concept of merging the history with the architectural art projected in our current times. WHO IS SILVIA ACTIS PERINO? "My name is Silvia Actis Perino. I come from Torino, Italy. I love drawing since I was a

child. I remember that on the first day of nursery, my mother gave me an apron with buttons in the shape of a pencil, so I thought that this was a sign that the drawing was written in my destiny. At the end of High School of Art, where I learned to draw portraits, landscapes, the human figure, still life, and much more, I continued my course of study at the Academy of Fine Arts. In June 2014, I took the Master's degree in Photography and Fashion Design with full marks of distinction. The choice to draw clothes has been a sort of vocation. After university, where I received an academic teaching, marked especially by the teaching of hand painting, I decided to attend a basic cutting and sewing course and a basic course of 3 Adobe programs: Indesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator, to expand my knowledge and enrich my professional background.

From 2009 until now, I've participated in various fashion shows and events in Italy: Turin, Milan, Elba Island, Barolo, © Red Silk Carpet April 2021

Cosenza, and abroad: Montecarlo, Dubai, Wenzhou (China). From 2009 to 2014 Ducotex S.r.l. published my designs to show their corporate fabrics in seasonal catalogs. In 2010 the magazine "Elegance" interviewed me and published seven pages about me in the December issue, including the cover dedicated to one of my creations. Last year, in May, I participated in a project called "Diritto all'eleganza" in collaboration with UILDM. I designed garment worn by a woman in a wheelchair during a fashion show in Lignano Sabbiadoro. In October 2019, I did a fashion show on a yacht in Dubai Marina during Dubai Fashion Week, and during "Barolo Fashion Show 2019" (a competition for young designers), I won a special price from Angi, an Italian-Chinese delegation, so, on November 2019 I went to Wenzhou.

During Wenzhou private enterprise talents week, I had the opportunity to showcase my creations during a fashion show and have B2B meetings with companies. In China, I presented a collection called: "Liberturyn": La Fleur, Villa Scott, Palazzo Bellia, Villino Raby, the door of the Pomegranate, and Casa Medana Perino. These architectural jewels are the protagonists of the Italian-Chinese cultural contamination, which gives life to the LiberTuryn capsule collection. Turin, my city, the Italian capital of the Liberty style that spread between the 19th and 20th centuries, holds these and many other architectural gems. Some details have been reproduced on fabric painted by me. Thus, the Quiapo, the oldest dress of Chinese culture, is decontextualized and transformed into different shapes enriched by details extrapolated from the chosen buildings.

Therefore, the detail of a window becomes a cut on the décolleté of a Quipao in a mini version or is painted directly on a midi version of the same, with a Korean collar and side slits. Or again, a long dress in floral lace above, and pleated below, recalls the lines drawn on a door and its wooden contours. A ceiling, a facade, a window, or more, have been extrapolated and recreated on various variations of this ancient oriental dress. This is to pay homage to the bond between two cultures that are so different but at the same time both are so rich in a historical/cultural heritage, worth of being emphasized through the creative language of fashion.

Everything is a source of inspiration for me: from nature to art, through architecture, math, geometry, and more else.

I like reading, and I am

interested in everything that could be profitable for my labor and enrich myself. Each of my creations has its own name and tells a different story from all the others. Everyone who wears my clothes must feel the only specimen.

My brand aims to feel like a shell, perfect and unique in its golden section, but different from all the others. So, my brand was born with the idea of representing the harmony that comes from a detail born between balance and diversity at the same time. Details are my jewelry on the crown: they come from something inspired by an architecture, from the particular shape of an object, or a concept that is a source of inspiration to be inserted into a cut, in a particular shape, or reinterpreted and painted by me directly on the fabric.

Details are my jewelry on the crown: they come from something inspired by an architecture, from the particular shape of an object, or a concept that is a source of inspiration to be inserted into a cut, in a particular shape, or reinterpreted and painted by me directly on the fabric. Precisely like in nature, where some perfect balances and geometries lead us to think that every petal that makes up a flower is the same as another. Instead of looking closely, there's always some subtle difference. Environmental care is another topic that is very close to my heart. In 2018 I created a capsule called "Made with care" consisting of 5 dresses, each of which represented a specific problem linked to the protection of flora and fauna, a concept focused on the importance of creating a fashion system clean, ecological, organic, cruelty- free fashion system.

From this concept, my choice to create unique, tailored, and not massproduced clothes derives. The historical period we are experiencing has led us to review everything from another point of view. Fashion cannot be considered outside this new perspective. But change does not necessarily have to be experienced in a negative sense. The nautilus shell teaches us this, which changes in size as it grows, but does not change in shape. Thus, was born EADEM MUTATA RESURGO, my last capsule collection that considers change as a new opportunity. I presented it last August during a Fashion Festival in Barolo (Italy). "Although different, I am still reborn," this Latin phrase was coined in the 17th century by the Swiss mathematician Bernoulli to emphasize the importance of this creature of nature, a symbol of strength and constancy in adversity, which refers to the continuous cycle of life, of creation, without end. © Red Silk Carpet April 2021

Four tailoring garments are reborn as different: a petroleum-colored cool wool skirt and a pastel pink linen dress from the 1990s; a blue silk dress and a blush silk dress from the 1980s. Garments that had been forgotten in the closet for thirty years have been "revived" under a new guise to give them a second chance, and thus symbolizing the hope of starting over, in line with today's world scenario. Opulence banned, essential saved. This essential is completed by the use of fabric leftover or unused accessories. Thus, grandfather's shirt collars are transformed into two straps of that skirt which is turned over to become a mini dress. Two tiffanycolored lace sleeves become a halter top, combined with a skirt that was previously a pleated dress. A cropped top with a lace window on the back, combined with a pencil skirt, was a dress not worn for forty years due to a stain that has been eliminated in the cut.

A small "Spira Mirabilis" in metallic gold decorates the lapels of the new garments, reminding us that there is always a new beginning. For everyone, for everything.

I am proud of this project, thanks to which I will show that fashion can be a vehicle to convey important messages and create something concrete for society.

The importance I attribute to this symbol is also given because I have chosen the Spira Mirabilis to represent my logo, drawing my initials, whose central P refers to the Phi of Fidia, a symbol of the golden section and therefore of the so-called "divine proportion."

LET'S FIND OUT MORE ABOUT AL WASL DRESS & COLLECTION

Simultaneously with AlWasl, the latest project I worked on is one of the projects closest to my heart since I started my career as a stylist because I believe that fashion must convey a message that goes beyond the mere aesthetic concept. Next year, I will be part of an innovative start-up called Lilith, a monitoring and intervention system for violence against women, made up of a clothing line, which, thanks to smart fabrics, can communicate with an App and a web platform.

Inspired by the EXPO2020 logo, which was constructed through the stylization of a series of concentric rings and a central ring which was recreated thanks to the reinterpretation of the stylistic characteristics of an ancient ring dating back 6000 years ago, found in the desert between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the LOGO is a ring that means, in fact, the connection and the union between people. We couldn't let it pass that easy, when in fact, the union between people is the most important symbol of strength and hope in this delicate historical moment. Who better than spouses can embody this concept of a solid union? © Red Silk Carpet April 2021

Thus, was born this capsule collection of ten outfits, five married couples, each of which was created inspired by one of the architectures of the Expo pavilions. The jewelry dress, the face-of WFFA 2021 Season, is the flagship wedding dress made using the architectural design of the central reception pavilion's dome as a reference. The shape of the dome was recreated by inserting a white crinoline base to give support to the fabric. It is in ivory lurex viscose, the fabric on which it is hand-painted in gold, the texture found throughout the skirt, the ornamental motif of the windows of the pavilion. This detail is designed to highlight the importance of Italian craftsmanship, the importance of the unique piece. Below, the fabric is cut and shaped in ogival arches, typical of Arab cultures, such as the entrances to the pavilion, echoed with layers of white and gold lurex tulle.

The upper encloses a long-sleeved bodice in nude tulle and white mesh, with lurex reflections, which draws the decollete in a boat neckline outlined by arches, like the openings of the skirt. This bodice is closed by a choker ring, the ring that gives the collection

its name and is also shown on the head to become a fascinator that will support the long veil in pearly white and gold lurex. The choice of the mesh fabric was made to emphasize the concept of "connection," the fulcrum of this capsule that wants to create a

bond of values underlining the importance of cooperation between nations, which draw strength and inspiration from mutual differences to create a network of connections between body and spirit, as the Expo slogan suggests "Connecting minds, creating the future."

Miss Megaverse 2020 Fab i a n a Ahumada from Mexico by Saif Rahman Sozib

What time do you usually wake up to start your day?

My beauty essentials include... I like to wear natural makeup, a little blush, light foundation, eyeshadow, and lipstick, but the most important thing is the attitude with which you wear it !!

My biggest fashion pet peeve is ...

I usually wake up at 8:00 is the time I typically wake up, unless I have a very busy day, then it could be 6:00, it all depends on the activities I have plan to do during the day.

The tiny handbags trends, I mean I have to accept that some of them might look good with a nice outfit but carrying your stuff around is the purpose of a bag, so what is the point of a miniature purse which can not even fit your phone !!

I would never leave my home without...

My favorite travel snack is ...

I would never leave my home without my bag, where I always carry my phone, a bottle of water, keys and some snacks, especially if it's gonna be a busy day.

I love to always bring at least one apple as a snack, almonds or some kind of fruit, and my bottle of water, of course !! The last thing Fabiana googled was...

The last thing I googled was some advice to feed my pet in the best way. I like to give them the attention they need and knowing that some foods are bad for them is very important, a pet is a responsibility, and they are like my babies, I love them so much !!

If my days had an extra hour...

I probably would sleep an extra hour, It all depends on whether I had an exhausting day or if there is a task I have to finish before my day is over, but rest is always very important !! I don't like waking up the next morning feeling sleepy.

On a typical Saturday night, I ...

I used to go out to have fun with my friends, but now that we are still going through the pandemic, my Saturday night turned into popcorn and watching movies at home. I also enjoy it a lot !!

I usually realize when I am stressed, and I try to relax in order to act and make decisions in the best way, sometimes I like to do breathing, meditation, or yoga, I think stress is one of the worst diseases because it can attack you mentally and physically too.

The article of clothing I'm currently wearing most...

What I love most about my country is ...

I would say maybe shorts, I have lived in Cancun for many years, and the weather is too hot to wear long pants, so shorts became my favorites, they are comfortable, and you can wear them in any style!!

It is a difficult question because I love many things about my country. I love the typical Mexican food, the places we have with the diverse ecosystems, the culture, and the people who are friendly and warm.

My biggest fashion regret is...

The best advice I ever got ...

I don't know, but now that I think about it, I don't have a bigger regret, because I've always felt comfortable and confident wearing what I like to wear.

I remember a piece of advice that a great friend of mine gave me, which says: there is no failure. You either win or learn, always remind me to learn and see the positive perspective from every situation and motivate me to don't give up when

When I'm stressed I...

something didn't go well. If I could meet anyone living or dead, it would be ... I would love to have met Frida Kahlo, Considered one of Mexico's greatest artists. I really like painting and art, and I admire her because I think it's impressive how she expressed herself through painting and how she portrayed different situations in her life.

My favorite place to shop is : I usually visit more than one place to shop and even sometimes If I feel creative, I like to make my own clothes, I made and designed my national custom dress for the competition, and I really enjoyed doing it !!

Wo m a n h o o d with Androg yny this Season by Saif Rahman Sozib

ndrogynous fashion styles are neither

feminine NOR masculine but gender-inclusive and sexually neutral. As a fashion designer, I believe there is both feminine and masculine present in all of us. Fashion is strongly genderbased. Clothing always defines the gender and characteristics of a person. Society has always directed how women should dress or look.

Women now don't care about how society wanted them to dress. They have cultivated her own style with the androgynous wardrobe. Women now are not bound to look or wear feminine clothing. They dress for themselves, not for society, the public, fashion, or men.

in trend, and it's different from what it was earlier.

This collection is by our sustainable brand Parole made by the inmates of the correctional facility... It consists of lapel jackets in both stripes and checks, bolero jackets teamed with breeches, etc... The color hues are mostly bright pastels to give it a more refreshing look.

HOW TO SURVIVE AS ARTISTS IN 2021?

Concept & Coordination: Saif Rahman Sozib Contributor: ALAIN ZIRAH & ANNE GOMIS Alain Zirah and Anne Gomis have been making themselves known for years by producing the OFF de Cannes, which brings strong visibility to the artists via the Great International Web Contest (more information on the official website www.offde-cannes.webs.com.) Saif Rahman: Alain Zirah & Anne Gomis, you are famous in France and many countries, as OFF DE CANNES producers and its Great International Web Contest. I imagine it was challenging for you to continue your job with artists during the pandemic crisis. How did you live in the

year 2020?

Alain Zirah: A silly small thing has decided to wipe out the entire world population during one year. This invisible living being stopped the biggest rock'n'roll bands' tours in the world. At the same time, when the whole population is sinking into gloom between fear of the virus or the police, young people are asking us how to continue being an artist during this health crisis. We always say we all need to adapt ourselves. Without pretending to be international stars, Anne Gomis and myself, bring you some advice to continue your activities over the past year 2020. Anne Gomis: Last year, everybody was surprised by the sanitary crisis. It forced the Cannes Film Festival team to cancel its biggest film event in the world. For us, we did plan a shoot with the students of our partner, the Noventis acting school. It was a good way to introduce themselves © Red Silk Carpet April 2021

via a short film for OFF de Cannes. The shooting started on Friday, March 13, 2020, at the Business castle (the famous filmmaker Marcel Pagnol's mother's castle). Alas, President Macron announced the lockdown in France two days later. It was awful. We were like in the jailhouse during this lockdown, and we were closer to death than ever. During this time, I lost my mother, a very close friend Pape Diouf. The soccers trainer who was a member of my family. We lost our partner Sabine Evrard from Noventis, Lydia Meseguer, who was a coach for OFF de Cannes for several years... It was awful. So, to overcome such a situation, the only way is to adapt yourself, become lighter, and modify your activities. If the virus can mutate to survive, it's the same for the human being. You must change yourselves lighter than ever.

Saif Rahman: So, I understand you changed your mindset, but how did you change your activities?

Alain Zirah: It's always very important to keep a positive mind. Most families stayed in their kitchen, killing time with baking and watching digital series on Netflix. Because computers became our main companions, Anne and myself understood we had to be creative differently. After the know-how, the second piece of advice is to continue to let people know. We developed our relationships with international media and partners and got many articles in magazines (Europe, USA, Asia). After each activity or each publication, it's important to promote information on social networks to develop our communities. Another essential thing for us was to help our virtual friends to cultivate themselves. Spending my days telling Anne anecdotes about films, music stars, and books, she got the idea to film myself in a show made at

home. I talk to the virtual audience about why I like some celebrities who build my personality year after year. Anne found the tone, "It's not because we're confined that we have to become complete idiots! "We shot a show for YouTube to watch with your parents or children and made four 20/20 CULTURE shows. Rock, Sci-Fi, books and movies, comics, and a philosopher... In brief, everything I love. That was our new evolution. Saif Rahman: After the show for YouTube, you decided to communicate with Zoom on the radio?

Alain Zirah: After discovering Zoom, our goal was to adopt this new tool to our needs. After several articles published in British magazines, I took part in several meetings as a judge for the international competition of the WOW Pageants. This allowed me to develop a new audience and receive two WOW Awards from London, including Best Artist 2020.

Anne Gomis: I proposed to Alain to develop our partnership with a young web radio. The idea was to communicate each time we need. We had the idea to make an international talk show on the radio + ZoomTV, in French and English, to talk with our OFF de Cannes partners and winners. It was the best audience on the radio. Then Alain developed some international talk show, in English and French, on ZoomTV, every Tuesday evening. Alain Zirah: Some years ago, I was lucky to meet Elton John several times, and he told me: "Your name is too complicated to remember; AZ, it's easy!" It's impossible not to appreciate a gift from Elton John. Take a nickname that is easy to remember. AZ, it's so much easier! That's how the Made by AZ talk show was born. The take-show are visible in replay on https://www.youtube. com/c/AlainZirah/video s.

And because it's essential to enjoy yourself and share what you love, I'm preparing a Manga comic book called Kat Ladiz with the graphic designer Lionel Demai. About young girls who decide to become super heroins using the Girl Power.

Saif Rahman: You also were chosen to participate as judges for Mister and Miss Art 2021. How was it, and are there others projects with that team? Anne Gomis: At the beginning of the year, we both have been chosen as jury members for Mister and Miss Art 2021, founded by Adrie van de Nieuwenhof (Netherlands). We are also co-producers of The Family Film Awards with Dr. Olympia Gellini, which took place in Los Angeles on March 24. It will air on April 22 on the REELZ Television Network (70 million

households nationwide). Olympia is our brother in heart, and he loves the values of Art.

Saif Rahman: Tell us how the artists can participate in the Great International Web Contest?

Alain Zirah: Olympia is a fantastic partner and American brother. Beauty Queens Unlimited also chose me, Anushka van Andel, Mega model hunt GLF, and Ayse Top, Miss WOW 2020, as jury for the Fashion TV modeling academy. It was very cool to introduce ourselves in a video on GANAP TV Digital Awards 2021 (Philippines). We are very proud and honored to join Flame International Fashion & Arts (London) as partners. The Yana Flame's Fashion show was astounding, with visibility all over the world. The team invited us again as jury members for Mister & Miss Art 2022 on GANAP TV, in February 2022, maybe in the Philippines, who knows?

Anne Gomis: It's very simple. We invite all the artists in cinema, music, writing, fashion Fine Arts and visual arts, professional or amateur, to send their videos, photos, texts, and music on the page https://www.facebo ok.com/internationalweb concours Unexpected prospects for the candidates with the famous show! We'll bring them international visibility and maybe meet them on the Cannes' red carpet for July 14. A 2021 French revolution! www.alainzirah.com

Greetings from the Mayor of the city of Taraz

Yerzhan Zhylkybaev by Saif Rahman Sozib

The symbol of relations between the West and the East was, is, and will be the Great Silk Road, which as a central trade route emerged in the III century BC and lasted until the XVI century of our century.

The main route of the Great Silk Road through the territory of Kazakhstan ran through the south of the country, the cities of which owe their appearance to merchants. Overcoming the vast Kazakh steppes, they arranged stops that turned into caravanserais, and those, in turn, into settlements that eventually grew into cities. Along with goods, crafts, architecture, culture, art, and religions spread along the Silk Road.

The Silk Way as the trade highway appeared in the III century B.C. and existed until the XVI century of our century. The ancient Silk Road trade cities have witnessed many devastating wars, destruction, fires, famine, and epidemic. Some of them faded into eternity, leaving the descendants only anonymous ruins; others burst into flames and died but were reborn again to amaze the world with their wealth, blue domes, and tracery of terracotta ligature of mausoleums and mosques. The main route of the Great Silk Road on the territory of Kazakhstan passed through the south of the country. From the border of China, trade caravans were moving through the cities of Merke, Taraz, Sairam,

Easy, Otrar, further to Central Asia, Persia, the Caucasus, and Europe. All these cities owed their appearance to traders who, crossing the vast Kazakh steppes, made stops, which turned into caravanserais, and those, in turn, turned into settlements, which over time grew into cities. Handicrafts, architecture, culture, art, and religion spread along the Silk Road along with goods. Thus, the Great Silk Road was, is, and always will be the symbol of the relationship between the West and the East. One of the world's authoritative fashion designers created the ASPARA FASHION WEEK International Fashion Week project, Aidarkhan Kaliyev, in early 2017. Thanks to his activities, for the first time in the southern region of Kazakhstan, international fashion shows were organized and continue to be held with the involvement of not only European designers and the closest representatives of Central Asia.
