If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?

The only thing that I would change is to remove all existing boundaries and boarders on the mind. What is your idea of happiness and success?

I can say that both happiness and success are decisions. I believe that there’s no reason to look for happiness or success if you are not the source of it. How do you plan to contribute to society after won Miss Multiverse 2019?

During the contest, we started to give back to society using fundraising and rebuilding a house for a poor Dominican family. I am planning to keep contributing in this way by being myself, helping others, and reaching for my goals. What have you learned from this competition?

Believe, don’t give up, keep moving, and believe that you deserve to live a

life you are excited about.

have changed your life.

Who is the most inspiring person in your life, and how?

How can you differentiate Ukrainian fashion compare to the rest of the other world?

Stephen Hawking, Nick Vujicic, Jessica Cox, Sam Berns, Aaron Fotheringham these are the most inspiring people who proved that the most important is your inner strength, much more powerful than your physical strength. What is the role of the Internet or social networking sites on the youth?

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world, and thanks to the internet, this weapon is in our hands.

In my mind, Ukraine is one of the most talented nations. The unique identity of Ukrainian designers comes from our ethnic aspects. There is a group of people who does not support the concept of beauty contests. What will you tell them?

It’s their choice, and people can support or not. I wouldn’t try to push someone to change his or her mind. The only thing I can do is to show them and lead by example.

What is the biggest mistake you have ever made in your life? What have you done to overcome it?

Are you involved in any Charity work or organization? If yes, then how it contributes to social & economic changes?

I’m sure that I’ve made many mistakes, but I’m happy that I had the experiences as I believe that the biggest mistake that someone can make is to miss out on an opportunity that could

Officially I’m not involved in charity organizations, but my heart and soul belong to charity, and in my next opportunity, I will be helping orphanages and disable people again.

11 Crowns

by Mrs. Planet Angela Andreyevska by Saif Rahman Sozib

Mrs. Planet 2019, Angela Andrevevskas, is the creator of a new educational system for models and pageants. The idea was born on October 26, 2018, creating a unique modeling and pageant school “11 Crowns”. Why 11 Crowns? Because at its inception, Mrs. Andrevevskas purchased 11 Grand Prix crowns from all over the world. She gathered helpful and new knowledge for her country for this new project and waited for the right time to make it real. In February 2020, she opened the first course in Lviv and chose an excellent and professional team for it. The course was divided into three of the most important disciplines. Fashion Catwalk with a Different Style, by Andrevevska. Proposing with the Miss Planet Best Model 2019 and Top Model of the Year 2020, Katrin Synenka and Diva Catwalk for a pageant with Mr. Planet 2019, Artem Timchenko.

The students who attended that course received a beautiful photo shoot with the partners of the 11 Crowns project. We look forward to watching it grow—our best to you, Angela Andreyevskas.

BROOCHES N EW PO PULAR MEN â&#x20AC;&#x2122; S JEWELRY by Mona Shroff Jewelr y Men's jewelry may represent a small percentage of the market, but it's a sector that is increasingly growing and proving itself to be important to the business. Men don't research too much about jewelry like a woman. They buy things more spontaneously and buy it when they see and like it. So for men, it's essential to see an excellent selection of jewelry that they easily can try and decide quickly. Most sales for men's jewelry are made by females, who buy their partners jewelry as gifts, however, in the last few years, this has changed, and more men buy it for themselves. They want to be more fashionable and trendier. So things will be more fashion-driven, and they don't only buy it for a special occasion. However, men don't want to spend too much on jewelry.

When it comes to formal attire, good old-fashioned cufflinks are enjoying a revival, with consumers

experimenting with more playful and personal designs.

In the past few years, women have stolen boyfriends' jeans, watches, and tuxedos, so we can't blame men for grabbing a traditional female adornment the Brooch in return. Worn on a jacket lapel, Prince coat, Tuxedo, or on a wide silk tie, perfectly positioned brooch takes on a whole new sophistication, masculinity, and modernity. Maybe the rise of menin-brooches is part of today's gender fluidity, but it seems the broader appeal lies more in its

versatility and powers of expression. As a brooch doesn't have to fit or sit on any particular body part, it gives designers the greatest freedom of all jewelry forms. They can let their imaginations run wild and serve up an endless feast of ornamental styles, materials, themes, and motifs.

Hollywood and Bollywood celebrities are wearing Brooches on various Red-carpet events, gigs and making it a piece of versatile jewelry to possess. Mona Shroff has designed an exclusive collection of Classic and Timeless brooches, which the men are enjoying wearing them on various occasions. Attached are a few pictures of Bollywood Superstars - Action King Actor Vidyut Jamwal and Sandeep Batraa Bollywood Singer and Music Director wearing Mona Shroff Jewelry Brooches for Mona Shroff Jewelry Fashion shows.

A video against the abuse of women... On the International Women's Day, the cultural association introduces a video that urges respect TARANTO - A seventysecond video that calls for awareness and respect on the part of those men who abuse women. The initiative was signed by the organizers of Miss Progress International, who chose March 8th to present the project carried out with the contestants who participated in the seventh edition of the event, which took place last autumn in Puglia. Giusy Nobile, President of the In Progress Cultural Association, and Giuseppe Borrillo, irector of the

competition, produced a video welcomed with enthusiasm also by Anna Elena Viggiano, Amnesty International Matera's spokeswoman.

The director, Carlo Barbalucca, allowed them to choose whether to show to the camera anger, fear, indignation, or resignation.

Statistics say it clear: everywhere, in the world, abuse and violence against women are a common evil in all latitudes. One in three women in their life experiences at least one violence, physical or sexual, often perpetrated by their partner.

The end result is a powerful message, addressed to those who get stained with such a vile and severe crime.

In the video, each of the Ambassadors of Progress, wearing a costume typical of the cultural traditions of their country of origin, pronounces, in her own language, a short, clear, and direct phrase: "no, it means no."

The cinematography is by Antonio Zanata, who also took the photos used instead of some video sequences, shot by the operator Davide Preite with equipment provided by Massimo Cerbera of Illusia Film Studio. Link to the video: https://youtu.be/TNYY BBurmKY
