Sustainable Fashion by Abhishek Dutta by Saif Rahman Sozib The collection is a mix of jackets and our resort wear, but it's all about sustainable living since the collection is made of handwoven s and upcycled materials. Sustainability is the key to future fashion, and the more we care about that, the better future will be. Machine-made fabrics and polyester leave behind a huge carbon
footprint to minimize that.
Our brand motto is to use all means of sustainability. This collection is made from handwoven chanderi and cotton...and recycled faux leather... Generally, for swimwear, lycra is used, which again is a synthetic material. Instead, we used cotton cut in bias with cutwork design to provide the stretchability and look...similarly, a relaxed sheer jacket and palazzo can be easily be done from chanderi....chic, comfortable yet ethical. © Red Silk Carpet August 2021
Sustainability is a concept which our gen Z needs to know for a better future, and our brand promotes that fashion can be young and trendy with ethical means. Bright palette, Interesting cuts, and different texture is the use of this collection. This season looks trendy and fashionable yet taking care of our environment.

Maria Jose Minguez 3rd Finalist of Miss Multiverse 2020 and Miss Alpha Female 2020 © Red Silk Carpet August 2021
Maria Jose Minguez 3rd Finalist Of Miss Multiverse 2020 And Miss Alpha Female 2020. Maria Jose Minguez: Spanish International model also known as "MJ Minguez" and currently the "3rd finalist of Miss Multiverse 2020" TV Show reality and personality contest and titleholder of "Miss Alpha Female 2020". INTERVIEW: Maria Jose Minguez, 3rd finalist of Miss Multiverse 2020 – Inside view of the competition in her own words.
Miss Multiverse has been such a unique experience. I decided to join ten days just before the contest happened. At the moment I got all the information regarding the Multiverse TV show and personality contest, I knew this would be a real challenge… the exotic beaches, the environment, the jungle, fresh fruits…
not forgetting that we lived all of this experience in the middle of the pandemic…the fantastic hotel where we stayed for almost one month: Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana made the past December so unique and unforgettable for me. I made a very nice friendship with my roomie "Miss Multiverse Mexico" (Fabiana) and with "Miss Multiverse Brazil" (Luana) …we have a lot of fun since day one. Once I land there, I tried to enjoy and focus with a positive mindset. The Miss Multiverse IQ Test.
The day after we land, they asked us to come in a business outfit. First of all, the Multiverse organization met us in the meeting hotel room for an © Red Silk Carpet August 2021
intelligence test. I have to say that since day one, everything was always unpredictable. What I mean is that we never knew which test, exam, or challenge were going to face every single day from now on. IQ test made the most of us confused and a bit nervous! But this was just the first day! After that, we had a presentation and introduction of each contestant with the sashes and countries participating. That was very beautiful, but I have to remind you most of us were affected by a jet lag ha-ha. The Last Woman Standing
Wait, did you hear? This was, for me and for most of us, one of the hardest challenges.
We needed (since really early morning) to stay exercising with a coach, and a kind of "huge pressure around us" (you will be able to watch soon). During the morning was both: Rainy and sunny (tropical weather, as you could guess), and we kept moving, running, holding weights, jumping… etc. Until the last woman who stayed up! After this challenge, I think that day so many of us didn't know if we would be able to keep competing! Ha-ha. In this year, the last woman standing stays almost 7 hours up. I remember, sometimes I was very ok and some others I felt so exhausted during this challenge... no doubt that the Last Woman Standing is a fantastic experience to see yourself out of your limits. I think we should all experience this at least once in life, this survival test! How did I recover from…?
Easy, I took with me to
The Dominican Republic, my favorite massage gun by Beats Body J ( www.beatsbody.com ), they have so many colors available and unique function pre-workout, to recover and any time you feel you need it (like me that I'm currently using it too during long flights). Also, my colleagues were so happy to be able to recover in just a few minutes! Some other challenges during our stay at paradise… Some other challenges were such check our speed in the water competing for 2 by 2 at the hard rock hotel, Bikini challenge, Scape room, also Karaoke ( OMG, I never expected this, but it wishes a new challenge too for me), paintball at the Samaná Island ( this experience was so unique as the hotel we stayed in called "Unique Exotic Hotel," the energic you feel it is unbelievable… something far of what you could ever imagine… the jungle and nature there will make you feel that you don't even need to sleep the number of © Red Silk Carpet August 2021
hours that usually you do, at least under my experience…there was another challenge we faced about the Flag and the famous spies.. soon you will understand what I'm talking about…the day we did some tourist there we went to the waterfalls… and we visited the amazing "chinola" (passion fruit) plantations: I love it, love it and love it!!! Drinking the Chinola juice while eating some "Fritos with local fish" won't make anyone indifferent. We did certain exercises there too, but everything really special... it's a continuous competition with yourself and overcoming. More than a challenge a… Charity Project
This challenge made us come closer to those who need it most, and we made it thanks to the supported people improving their living conditions. Seeing their smiles were more than unique.

Back from Samaná, Punta Cana Hard Rock hotel and traveling again this time too… On this occasion, we had the opportunity to visit the capital: Santo Domingo!!! Wow, this was a fast visit, but we had an interview on one of the biggest channels in the Country. After a long shoot and testimonials, we visit the city center: Plaza de España J and the most historic part!
In between challenges … Pre-gala, some time for fun, rest, and a big final...! As with other beauty pageants, this is not so when talking about finals mean. You get to know more and less what's your
position will be… while in the pre-gala and gala, we had a national dress, Evening gown, and bikini show. Hope you can watch the whole season and get ready for the adventure feels like you're living a dream in the Caribbean. At the same time, you're re-growing and knowing each of the contestants joining all over the globe and learn how to compete with yourself on a future daily basis with each episode. WAIT... THIS WAS IN 2020? REALLY? Actually, in December, and due to pandemic, we had some unexpected situations, Like mine that I had to stay for more days to reach my destination: I needed a "PCR test

negative" and a flight to my destination that wasn't easy to catch by that moment. These last days were also unforgettable, and this place has touched my heart and soul! Miss Multiverse is a personality contest and reality tv show. The contest is going into its 9th year now. The next edition Miss Multiverse 2021, will again be filmed at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic in November/ December this year.

A nj a l i P h o u g a t Successful entrepreneur Anjali Phougat received an award for her first short film, "inclusion through unity," in GSF awards during the Cannes film festival. by Saif Rahman Sozib
What is the short film about? Can you share in detail?
Body Shaming and gender inequality are significant issues in today's society. We wanted to message the world that we all should be kind and inclusive and stop judging people. The idea is to spread love and positivity without saying anything harsh or negative. This subject is very close to my heart. The film is all set to screen at the Global Short Film Awards during the Cannes film festival.
How does it feel?
I am feeling thankful, overwhelmed, and overjoyed right now and would like to give a message to all the readers: hard work pays off, and one should never give up on their dream. This project would not be possible without our wonderful team support and hard work. "The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire, the size of your dream, and how you handle roadblocks along the way.“ Which category will the film be screened in? And when?
The film will be screened on July 12th at the GSF awards during the Cannes film festival in France. The film is announced the winner in the "best Short shot Film" category. © Red Silk Carpet August 2021
Screening at Cannes is a big thing. When it was announced a winner in the best short film category, I pinched myself, and this moment is a dream come actual moment. How did you come up with the concept of the short film?
Filmmaking is a process, and it does not happen overnight. I always wanted to make Films but something really meaningful so people can learn something from it, and we and it was just the right time and collaboration with the right people. Gender inequality, body shaming, and LGBTQ community acceptance are some of the significant issues, and the idea was to spread kindness and positivity, and everything just fell in place.
Can you talk about the cast?
My fashion line designer dream collection sponsored the jewelry for the entire cast. I felt honored to style the whole cast of the film Alex Rogers has done the direction and cinematography, while Caroline O'Brien managed the photographer and choreography departments. Anjali Phougat and Vincent Natasha Gay wrote the script. They backed the project that stars Reshá Sukoshi, Clare Winkler, Vincent-Natasha Gay, Mounika Siriguppi-(Miss Bharat world titleholder based in Autin flew to Ohio for the shooting), and Anjali herself. Makeup and hair are being done by Arunita Ghosh, Imani, and Lina
lelli. "Inclusion Through Unity gives a message to the community to celebrate every culture with love and support. As a fashion designer, you have faced the camera. But was facing the camera as an actor different?
To be honest, it did not feel like acting because diversity and inclusion are subjects close to my heart. This was a great message from my fashion line, "Designer Dream collection," because we support diversity and inclusion. DDC love to work with a diverse group of people. I am so excited to work on my future projects as there is a lot in the pipeline. What kind of projects
© Red Silk Carpet August 2021
are you planning to do now?

Ivana Savic from Serbia is speaking with us about how she jumped from the plane because of this competition!!! by Saif Rahman Sozib Hello, Ivana! Welcome! Can you tell us a bit about yourself and introduce yourself to us briefly?
Hello, It is my pleasure to be a part of this interview. My name is Ivana Savic, born in Belgrade, the capital of the Republic of Serbia, where I live. I graduated from the "School of Beauty Care" as well as the Faculty of Economics. I speak English and Spanish, and I have been actively involved in basketball. I have also been training all my life. I have been actively involved in modeling for 15 years, and that is why I have worked for many big brands for the entire Balkan region. This year I will represent Serbia at Miss Economic World, and I am very excited about that. How long have you been working as a model, and what are some of the engagements you've done? Have you been in a model
agency, or have you worked as a freelancer?
Yes, I have been working as a model for 15 years. I'm 176cm tall, and my measurements are 90-60-90. I accidentally entered the world of fashion when I heard an advertisement for Miss Balkans on the radio. I entered that competition and became the second runner-up in the Balkans. I have shot commercials for many food products, cosmetics. I recorded music videos with many very famous pop artists in Serbia. Many times, I recorded various most popular singles for many Serbian televisions with our very famous actors. In 2017, I was the face of a Milan brand called Gossip, and billboards with my face could be seen everywhere. In 2019, I won the International Beauty Show in Naples and was named the best model in Europe. I am now part of Miss Economic World, and I am very happy about that. I have also worked with fashion agencies: Tattoo Model Agency; Slide-Media Model Agency. Now, I work as a freelancer. © Red Silk Carpet August 2021
How did you find out about Miss Economic World and decide to apply (as a competitor)? Tell us about some of your experiences up until now. Who makes up your team of people?
I have been in business for a long time and people from the "Fashion Industry" know what a professional I am. I got an offer from the National Director Svetlana Gavrilović. I immediately liked the Miss Economic World project idea because this choice requires external beauty and a complete personality with attitude and knowledge, which I highly value. My team of people is comprised of the best professionals: National Director - Svetlana Gavrilović; National Manager - Katarina Munjić; Model Agency: modelskar.com; Fashion photographerVladanMilisavljevic who did this promo photos; Fashion designer - Milos Miletić. Tell us, is Miss Economic World and Miss of Balkan the only pageants you've participated with, or have there been others?
No, this is not my only choice for Miss. I was also a participant in Miss Europe Continental and a winner at the International Beauty Show 2019 in Naples. This is my third choice for Miss in my life, but I approached this project very professionally and seriously because the whole mission of this competition is serious and great. In the competition, you are known as one of the bravest girls. Aside from being one of the first ten girls to do this interview, there is something else. Could you tell us a bit about your talent video and explain what it is that you did? What motivated you?
don't have the funds for their great ideas, so they have to be imaginative
and original in order to please people. It is my video that shows the courage and originality of an artist. Being an artist means having a big heart. That's the message of my jump. By the way, skydiving is the most beautiful experience of my life. When you jump off a plane, the impression is that the whole world is you. Everything around you is so small, and you feel entirely sublime. I recommend such an experience to everyone. Here is Ivana's talent video. Please watch! https://m.youtube .com/watch?v=7nCWl0Y HfhU&feature=youtu.be
I'm glad to hear that. My talent video came about spontaneously. Miss Economic World supports the great Superstar Art Foundation, which helps young talents to realize themselves in many artistic spheres. With my video, I wanted to show the courage of an artist. We always talk
Aside from probably being the first Miss ever to jump off a plane for a beauty pageant, and for the first time in your life, I might add, we see that you have many talents. Could you tell us about some of them, and do you think they can help you win this competition?
about easier things, but many artists sometimes
I think I'm the first Miss to jump off a plane and © Red Silk Carpet August 2021
I'm glad about that. I have to say that I play the accordion, and I am talented in a sport I enjoy very much. I also have a talent for acting, which is something I want to do in the future. I love reading poetry, and all my life, I have been closely associated with acting. As a child, I used to recite many times at children's recitations. This year I want to enroll at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade. In this competition, you are presenting your country: Serbia, and your city: Belgrade. I would like you to tell us something about your country and your city. Why do you love it, and what are some of the qualities you would like to point out? Also, what do you think about modeling in Serbia? Does the country offer many possibilities for people who wish to pursue modeling as a profession? Who are some of the models you consider to be the best in Serbia?
© Red Silk Carpet August 2021
The capital of the Republic of Serbia is Belgrade - the city where I was born, where I live and create life. Everyone who comes to Serbia always returns to it because we are good hosts. We welcome everyone with a heart and a smile. We have great historical landmarks, rich nature, and beautiful people. The city of Belgrade is surrounded by two rivers: the Sava and the Danube. On the banks of both rivers, there are lovely restaurants that offer guests the best Serbian specialties. Serbia is a country full of love, and everyone who comes to Serbia leaves with such an impression. Modeling as a profession is challenging. We all know that the market is big and luckily someone needs to stand out in that world. There are jobs in Serbia for models who want to work. However, modeling jobs are far
better-paid abroad. But Serbia has lovely people, and I think our models are doing well globally, such as BojanaKrsmanović, for example. 8.) And to finish this up, we can notice that this competition is not just a pageant. What would you say - what is it that makes it so unique (different, special)? Also, we can notice that this pageant stands for humanitarian work, as well. Tell us, what area of humanitarian work interests you the most? And how would you help people if you were to become Miss Economic World? And do you otherwise contribute to your community and help make your environment a better place?
Another reason why I applied for the Miss Economic World pageant is because the organization stands for humanitarian matters. (If I were to win), I would be more in favor
© Red Silk Carpet August 2021
of providing better treatments for children; I would favor a lower rate of hunger in the world. I would advocate a lifelong ban on killing animals because of fur ... I am generally known for my humanitarian work because if a fashion show is organized for children suffering from cancer, I will be very responsive to it. It never occurred to me to walk past a begging man without leaving him some money. I think that a Miss Economic World should have a mission to raise people's awareness, be more focused on each other, take care of family and friends, laugh more, and create good deeds.

My name is Joy Adeola Odeyingbo. I am 24 years old and come from Ogun, a state in Nigeria. I sew to beautify females as a fashion designer and also the home as an interior decorator. I write and speak to inspire. I am a certified event planner (fashion shows and pageantry majorly). I own a brand named ''JAOTEM CASTLE'' which encompasses JAOTEM DESIGNS AND INTERIORS: An Afrocentric female wears fashion brand and a brand that deals with the production of beddings/ curtains. JAOTEM EVENTS AND USHER: involved in planning, managing, and coordinating social and corporate events. JAOTEM FOUNDATION: A nonprofit organization interested in raising the
next level of future leaders by providing educational aids to students in primary and secondary school. I am a model and also a beauty Queen. As a student, I completed my national diploma in Science laboratory technology (SLT) with distinctions at the Federal College of Animal Health and Production Technology in Ibadan, Oyo state Nigeria. I am currently a final year student of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, studying Pure and Applied Botany. I am a Christian by religion.
photography? How much have you worked, and what did you do for your portfolio to look as it does today?
Could you tell us how long you have been modeling? You have fantastic photos! We must applaud your photographers because they indeed did an amazing job! However, we also know that if we want good and quality photos, it is crucial to have a beautiful and professional model. Tell us, what are your previous experiences in modeling? Would you instead do fashion photography or commercial
I've planned fashion shows and managed pageants. Joining the modeling industry was pretty easy because of my ideal height of 6ft 2 inches as a lady and my slim stature. Still, I had to attend a modeling academy and got trained to become a professional model over the years. I can fit into both fashion and commercial photography because of my physique, but then I will do more fashion photography.
© Red Silk Carpet August 2021
Thank you. Well, I have been in the industry for about 5 years now. I have walked various fashion shows in Nigeria. I got featured in an international magazine, among which is the Red Silk Carpet Magazine, Michigan. I participated in 4 pageantries, of which I emerged as the winner of 3 while I was a runner up for the 4th one. I train models as a catwalk instructor.
MEW 2021 Award Winners Silver Award Joy Ogeyingbo (Nigeria) © Red Silk Carpet August 2021
You were Miss Nigeria what would you say you gained with that success, and did you participate in other beauty pageants? What do you think, what qualities should a Beauty Queen possess?
I was the Miss NIGERIA Republic. Yes, it helped me become a better version of myself, enable me to assist others, and meet many people, thereby increasing my sphere of influence. Yes, I participated in other pageants. A beauty Queen should possess a goal-getting mindset, confidence, charisma, intelligence, beauty, brain, among others. A beauty Queen should also be kind and generous as she should use her title to affect and help people around her. You've also mentioned you do motivational speaking? What is it about, and do you think your speeches leave a big impression and change the mindsets of people around you? What do you stand for?
Yes, very well... Naturally, I talk effortlessly, and people like to listen to me, I've always been practical when I speak. I shared my personal story of how I grew from a little girl who hated her stature and looks with no self-esteem to a bold, beautiful and energetic lady who is so confident about herself and would put in her very best to achieve her dreams and vision - A goal-getter. Could you tell us a bit more about the talents you've presented us within your talent video? Considering we've already covered modeling and beauty pageants, tell us more about fashion design and interior decorations. Where do you find your inspiration?
Yes, thank you. I started my fashion brand as a student in the year 2017 due to my passion for fashion. I got myself into the fashion industry because it was a dream I
© Red Silk Carpet August 2021
nursed while growing up. Back then, I usually found it hard to get a well-fitting ready-to-wear dress for myself because I measured what more than the standard size for my age range was, and this will leave my mum, and I've got no choice to toil the market. Then I started nursing the idea that I would learn fashion designing so I would be able to make my outfits, and then I did. I attended a fashion school and different fashion and business summits. At some points, I realized I needed to be creative with my styles, and then I started making Afrocentric female outfits with attire (tie and dye) materials. Making the home beautiful, I mean rearranging the house to give it a new look, is what I do freely, then I started by learning the art of making beddings and curtains by myself. Gradually, clients had to start trusting me to help design their new apartment.

Check my talent video here: https://youtu.be/b 4R9Ae-Qq7M Considering you've already represented your country in beauty pageants, we assume you were already engaged in humanitarian work. Were you a member of any non-profit organizations, or have you worked as a volunteer?
Yes...I am a member of a non-profit organization where mission is to rekindle the fire of hope to the hopeless and the needy. I have served and worked as a volunteer at various events and programs, and I own a foundation where we give out educational aids to students of primary and secondary schools. Can you tell us s omething about the country you come from? What do you like most
about your country? What are some of the things you would like to change?
Nigeria, my country, is filled with creative, innovative, and intelligent people with diverse, beautiful cultures and tribes. The fact that we can adapt swiftly to any condition or situation is absolutely amazing. For me, I will like to change the mindset of people, and their belief about education, especially the young ones; a lot believe education is about just academics but much more than that. It is the value instilled into an individual, the beliefs, the philosophy of such individual because all these will sum up to make an individual and then his perspective about national and economic growth. Do you see yourself as a
© Red Silk Carpet August 2021
potential Miss of Miss Economic World championship? What will you do if you win this competition?
Yes, I see myself as a potential miss of the Miss Economic World Championship. I have what it takes to represent, promote and fit into the title. I will promote the foundation, assist people in achieving their dreams, helping people, and also helping myself to become a better version of myself daily. Thank you for having me.

Copper Award: Nikolina Milak from Croatia won our hearts with her beauty and talent. Hello, Nikolina! Can you tell us something about yourself ? Where are you from?
Best regards! I come from Croatia, a beautiful small country with the most beautiful Adriatic coast. My hometown is Nova Gradiška . I studied law. However, I have always been a big fan of fashion, art, and beauty. My story began in 2017 when I graduated from the International School of Beauty under the esteemed Croatian makeup artist Boris Čavlina. So, aside from being a professional makeup artist, I am a freelancer and a model. I would also like to point out that I had the opportunity to participate in the preparations of the host and guests backstage in the famous Croatian lifestyle show. My hobbies are outdoor activities, yoga, and meditation.
Nikolina Milak (Croatia)
Tell us something more about your work as a model? How long have you been working as a model? And what are some of the engagements you've done? Do you have any preferences?
My first interest in modeling appeared during my schooling at the Ministry of Beauty, a makeup school. It is because, in addition to various makeup techniques and looks over the decades, a professional photographer also taught us everything about perfect photography, posing, and modeling. While I was still at school, I was a model for various makeup looks to present Boris' work. And as for fashion engagements, so far, I have had a photo shooting as a vintage model with an oldtimer for the Rockabilly Festival, which took place in Croatia. I do prefer more themed photoshoots. When I am enjoying my role, I give © Red Silk Carpet August 2021
the maximum of myself. For instance, when I was a pin-up girl from the '50s. Is this your first time competing in a beauty pageant? How did you find out about Miss Economic Word, and why did you decide to compete? Do you think it was worth it and that it was a good idea to apply? Who is in your team of people?
Yes, this is my first beauty choice. I found out about it through my national director Svetlana Gavrilović. She contacted me and said she wanted to represent me at the Miss Economic World 2021. I decided to apply because the very concept of the Superstar Art organization is incredibly interesting to me. I am an artist, primarily, and they support artists' dreams through their non-profit programs, which is terrific. I listened to my intuition and followed the wow feeling, which told me it was a great business opportunity.

The idea is excellent, and I have had a pleasant experience with the organization through these two months. There is one girl from Croatia and two girls from Serbia on my team. The same national director represents us. Among other prominent people, I would mention the designer LidijaPihler who gave me two beautiful designer dresses for promo photo shooting, then the Salon of Wedding Dresses "Lidija," which also provided me with two wedding dresses for promo photo shooting.
There is also my photographer Kristina Kovačević and my boyfriend Marko, who is a music artist. He is my biggest support on the team. I would point out that I took care of my makeup look for photo shooting for Miss Economic World 2021. I have to say, your beautiful face cannot go unnoticed. Do you think this is your advantage for winning Miss Economic World? Where do you see yourself in your future modeling career? Tell us something about
your ambitions and goals for the future.
Thanks for the compliment. My face is an advantage, but not the biggest. A beautiful face is important in beauty choices and necessary in the world of beauty when it comes to commercial photography. However, my greatest advantages are my passionate spirit, my loyalty, and my dedication to work. I am very persistent in achieving my goals, and I am a great perfectionist, so I do my best to give my best. And of course, I do it because I truly love and enjoy it. I can tell you that my biggest wish is to become a trademark or brand ambassador of the most prestigious cosmetic companies like YSL, MAC, etc. We've seen your talent videos, and we can confidently say that you are truly talented and that you have amazing art skills. Could you tell us a bit about the talent you chose to present us with? Given your talent for makeup, have you ever considered trying or learning how to paint? What are some of the other talents you have? © Red Silk Carpet August 2021
I still can't understand my talent; I only know that I have periods when I get inspired. I organize makeup, choose and contact models, choose clothes, and I do makeup. Then we do a photo shoot. I also know something about photography, so I combine the backgrounds myself to take pictures according to the transformation. For example, I often have to improvise when making masks, and I don't have the necessary material. I remember transforming myself into a zombie on Halloween on one occasion, using plum jam to make open wounds on my face. To put it simply, being a makeup artist is a job that fulfills me, and I can boast about doing what I love. In addition to sci-fi makeup, I also do beauty makeup, makeup for all kinds of festive occasions for my dear client. As for painting, unfortunately, I don't have a hand to draw. Check my talent video on this link: https://m.youtube.com/ watch?v=VZ3g3jvt34A&f eature=youtu.be
What about now, after doing so much preparation and rehearsal? Do you think it is easy to do modeling?
I look at the fashion world the same as before. It has its charm that attracts and very quickly interests. I think that every job has its "weight," but the point is how much work you will put in and whether you work with your heart or just automatically, for the sake of pure profit. If you want to achieve excellent results in any business, you have to be prepared for many sacrifices and compensations. Give us a few details about the country you come from. Why do you love it, and what are some of the most beautiful qualities you would like to point out? It is summer. What are some of the most beautiful destinations you'd like to mention or even recommend?
The country I come from is in the European Union. It's amazing. It is known for its natural beauty, national parks, the Adriatic Sea, rich plains.
It is a favorite holiday destination for many foreigners. Croatia has a rich cultural heritage and tradition for all those who are willing to explore it. I personally think that the most beautiful destinations within the country are islands, such as Rab and Lošinj, then Dubrovnik, Plitvice, Lakes, Brijuni National Park, Umag, Osijek, and Zagreb. I at this moment invite all of you, as a representative of Croatia, in Miss Economic World, to take a week of vacation and visit Croatia! We are expecting you, and we will be thrilled to host you. Last but not least, the important aspect of this pageant is that it stands for humanitarian work. So, tell us, how would you help make the world a better place if you were to become Miss?
The first thing I would do is I would celebrate with all the people who have supported me. I would attend training and meetings by the organization. I would like to learn as much as possible about economics © Red Silk Carpet August 2021
and finance. Since I already have experience in volunteering, which I gained two years ago by helping organize a charity concert for a friend who needs financial income for treatment, I would very quickly manage and accomplish my humanitarian mission. I would primarily launch the "Beauty with a Purpose" project, which aims to raise funds for sick children and young people who are socially unstable, and selfdestructive in terms of drug and alcohol abuse.

Serbian Model, K atarina Cvetković
Perfect figure and personality in one! Our beautiful Serbian model, Katarina Cvetković, adores posing, and we foresee a brilliant modeling career for her!
Hello, Katarina! Welcome! Tell us something about yourself. Where do you come from, and what do you do? Hello! I am Katarina Cvetković, and I'm 20 years old. I am a 176 cm tall model. I come from Leposavić, North Kosovo. I've finished gymnasium in Raška, department for languages and social sciences. Now I am specializing in financial management, and my goal is to finish everything on time. I enjoy spending time with friends, and in my free time, I like to work out. My university degree is very important to me, and because of that, I can see myself both as a financial manager and
modeling. My primary goal is to finish my college degree and place high in competitions for Miss. Also, I wish to be successful in modeling. And I will work hard and give my all to be successful. As far as we know, you love to do modeling, and you love to pose! Can you tell us about your previous achievements as a model? What would you say are the biggest pros of this job? Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Yes, I can say that modeling is my biggest passion. I have been doing modeling since 2019, and I have to say I have already accomplished a lot. I did dozens of shoots and was also the main face for 'Lagano,' a boutique in Niš. I also did catalog shoots for 'Tide.’ I walked in fashion shows both in my own country and in countries
© Red Silk Carpet August 2021
abroad. One of the biggest fashion shows was VIP Fashion Week, where I wore dresses designed by various designers in Istanbul, for famous designers, like Marine Nazarchuk, Jasmine Drakul, EsseLian. I did a lot of shootings with photographers JovicaKosanović, Milan Rakić from Serbia, and MilošSavić. All in all, I'd say I did about 100 shootings. Tell us, why did you decide to enter Miss Economic World? Is this your first beauty pageant?
When I was visiting Belgrade, with a few of my good friends, we were listening to a street performance, and one of the musicians suddenly laid down his tambourine, pointed his finger at me, and said, you are so beautiful, you must be a model. It may be a funny story.
© Red Silk Carpet August 2021
However, I felt like something just clicked in my mind at that moment, and I decided to try modeling out. After some time, my agent informed me that I could enter a competition for Miss Economic World. He entered a few girls. However, the director, Svetlana Gavrilović, chose me. Of course, I immediately accepted, and this is actually my first big pageant. I also participated in beauty pageants in Bosnia and Hercegovina for Miss Balkan, and I was in the top 5. I hear that you already had many tasks to do, both from the agency and your national director. Tell us something about these tasks. Do you think they will boost your placement in the pageant? What was the most difficult, and what was the most interesting assignment to do? How do you get along with
other girls?
Yes, we have. Well, when I have a desire to succeed, no task is too challenging. Especially if I do what I love and what makes me happy. I have to say that the whole team has been so nice to us. We are coming back to modeling again! We were truly amazed by your talent video. Your advantage is your photogenicity and your perfect figure. We saw many photos, various styles, and changes in the video - which one do you like the most? Tell us something more about your talent. Who organizes your shootings, and how do you come up with your ideas?
We loved the shooting with fico! You really made us laugh. I honestly think that Ferrari will never be able to have such a model as yourself. I also have to mention
© Red Silk Carpet August 2021
my national director Svetlana Gavrilović. She gave me advice about modeling and the fashion world in general. I am truly grateful to her. I also enjoyed when she gave us a task to do promo photos and when I had to do my talent video and pictures. The most challenging task was the main one, the interview. However, I really do believe it will help us a lot. I get along with other girls. We stick together. Each one of us is special and unique in her own way.
Well, thank you so much. Again, when I do something, I love, really, there is no stopping me. I love the urban style and sports style. I have lots of talents, but for this, I decided to show my modeling. Modeling starts with rehearsals, training, practicing, posing, and of course, attitude.
My agent, Milan Rakić, organizes all of my shootings, and my uncle, photographer MilošSavić, came up with the fico idea. I have to say I loved it as well. It was badass. Yes, I also think Ferrari will never have such a model as fico did. Please, check my talent video on this link: https://m.youtube.c om/watch?v=3HTgTFJ MjME&feature=youtu.be We've also noticed that you are an extroverted, joyful, and social person, aside from the many talents you have. We love your energy and personality and believe it is a huge advantage for your future, both in modeling and your other jobs. Tell me, did you meet a lot of new people while modeling? What about your friends? Are they your support, or is there some jealousy? Can you talk about your modeling work with them, or do you prefer to leave such conversations with
people who are a part of the modeling world along with you? By the way, we think your attitude towards people around you is amazing and inspiring.
Yes. I have met new people and made new friends. Those who stayed with me throughout my journey are my real friends, and they support me with everything I do. I can talk about anything with them. On the other hand, there will always be those people who are jealous, envious. My parents are my biggest support, and they are always there to push me forward, and I am so grateful for that. Tell us something about your country. You moved a couple of years ago, right? How did you handle moving to a new city? What do you like most about Serbia and your town?
Yes. I moved from Leposavić. Both of them
© Red Silk Carpet August 2021
I consider my countries. Kosovo is a part of Serbia, and Leposavić is the northernmost municipality in the Mitrovica District in Kosovo. It has an estimated population of 19,000 people. I handled my moving from Kosovo to Raška quite well. Raška is a small town where I finished high school. I love everything about it. However, even though I moved, my hometown is Leposavić, it is where I was born and where I grew up, and nothing can change that feeling. When it comes to Serbia, I have to say, what I love the most are the winters in Kopaonik. I usually go there to ski. Kopaonik is a mountain range located in Serbia and Kosovo. It stretches for 75 km in the northsouth direction. It covers about 40 km in width, and on its slopes, there is a Kopaonik ski resort, one of the largest in Southeast Europe.
I also have to mention my national director Svetlana Gavrilović. She gave me advice about modeling and the fashion world in general. I am truly grateful to her. I also enjoyed when she gave us a task to do promo photos and when I had to do my talent video and pictures. The most challenging task was the main one, the interview. However, I really do believe it will help us a lot. I get along with other girls. We stick together. Each one of us is special and unique in her own way. Tell me, what would you do if you were to become Miss Economic World? How would you help the world become a better place? My goal in life is to have a job that will allow me to live a good and successful life. However, I don't ever want to neglect the dearest people or deny myself time to enjoy my life. I wish to build a successful career.
However, it is also essential that I can relax and spend time with people I love. My parents are my biggest support, always there for me and always ready to offer good advice. They are the ones who are helping me find my way in life and raising me to be an honorable person, happy with her life and accomplishments. It will be a huge honor if I win a Miss Economic World title. I would give my best to honor the trust and responsibilities the title brings upon the winner. Of course, I would stand for humanitarian work and organizations. For example, I would offer my help to sick children. I would collect money for them and contribute in any way possible.

Model & Beauty Queen Victoria Jinanwa: Beauty Pa geants Provide New Oppor tunities f o r Yo u n g P e o p l e Hello Victoria! I am glad that you are here! Tell us something about yourself. Where are you from, what do you do?
My name is Jinanwa Victoria Ugochi. I'm from Abia state in Nigeria. I graduated in chemical science from Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria, and am the youngest of six children. I'm a model, Beauty Queen, and also an Entrepreneur (I have a spa, I do event management, and also train models. How long have you been modeling? You have lovely photos! What modeling jobs have you done up until now? What do you consider to be your best quality, one that can help you in this job? How popular is modeling in your country?
Have been modeling for 5 years now . I have done modeling jobs for some brands (Henna brand, runway model, commercial modeling).
I consider commercial modeling to be my best, and it has helped me a lot. Modeling is very popular in my country, and lots of young ladies pursue it. How do you like this competition so far? Why did you decide to enter it? Have you been to beauty pageants before, and have you won any titles?
I love the competition so far. It's one of the best I have ever participated in. I decided to enter the pageant because it's a pageant with a lot to offer. The vision and mission are also what I developed an interest in. Yes, I have been to pageants and have participated before, and I have won four titles for myself. AWARDS WON: Miss Ojude Oba (second runner up) 2016, Miss Elegant Nigeria (third runner up) 2017, Queen of Tourism Southeast 2018, Miss Tourism Niger Delta 2019 © Red Silk Carpet August 2021
MORE ON PAGEANTRY: The purpose of beauty pageants is to find one's personality, their own strengths and weaknesses, gain confidence and raise their self-esteem, and prove to people that it is not impossible to have beauty and brains. Even though people usually say that it helps models with their self-confidence, beauty pageants have been shown to have a harmful effect on their contestants' self-esteem. Beauty pageants focus on outward appearance rather than inner beauty. They create young children who hate their appearance and become obsessed with perfecting it. Pageants also promote the following: It promotes tourism. It enriches international relations. It motivates the youth. I t builds discipline and selfconfidence. It becomes a channel to reach and help despondent communities around the world. It teaches competitiveness. It opens opportunities to young people.
