AZRYAL MAGAZINE

letter from

the Editor Katrina CherK Welcome to the AZRYAL Magazine! We are so delighted to have you partake in such a beautiful event where we emphasize the duty of EMPOWERING WOMEN. As Editor-in-Chief, it is my utmost gratitutde to welcome you to a movement of making women feel better about themselves, not only about their emotional state and their inner beauty, but more importantly about their values, their opinions and what they mean to other people. It is important for women of this century to truly believe in who they are and trust that they are for the better of not only themselves but also for the society as a whole. There is absolutely no body shaming, no backstabbing, no critisicm about a women’s body and attritubes in this magazine. We want women to feel like they belong, and through empowering them with the wisdom brought by other superwomen and their stories as examples to the believes of being good in what you do as a woman. As a personal guide, I always look to myself as a sporty type but also very elegant. We are not supposed to be submissive but rather just in the things we do because as they say, behind every successsful man there’s always a smart women, and though you may not feel it now, there will be a time when young women will understand their importance to lives around the world. Women of this world, let’s EMPOWER each other and become BOLD ELEGANCE. Delightfully yours,

“Her Style. Her Way.”

Her eyes look at you and they see through you. Red lips, smoky eyes and red eyeshadow with perfect brows. Her perfections is what leads you to her. However, don’t get too close. There’s more to her than you’ll ever know.

BORN RISKY She was ‘born risky’. Never did she shine brighter than a red flame. You can’t resist her boldness but you must fight back because if you don’t, she’ll devour you like a tigress. Red BORN RISKY crop top, red jacket with ZARA stripped mid-waisted pants.

seventy-two year old man from Greensburg Pennsylvania, who currently resides in Miami Florida had a successful career since 1970s starting with his career working for the GQ magazine. Ever since then, his career sky rocketed, photogr aphing for fashion brands such as Bloomingdales, Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren among other renown brands. Finally his break through was

when he collaborated and worked under Vogue Condé Nast Company, which made his photography sky-rocket in becoming one of the most famous fashion photographers of the century. His photography mostly contained of black and white or toned shades and worked with many celebrities for fashion magazines and campaigns. Not only was he known for fashion photography, he also attended many movie premiers and concerts to photograph other celebrities of the sort. Known to be one of the most famous photographers since 1977 to present day, nonetheless, his works inspire the likes of other photographers as well. However, a shocking news dispersed into air and was spread worldwide, still shocking the most of us with this unimaginable situation that put us all into deep consideration of how the fashion world is treating their models, especially in a physically and

a thing for not a recent topic first arises, Weber had denied such allega-

tions and continued to reason with the public that no such thing has happened. Weber states, “‘I am completely shocked and saddened by the outrageous claims being made against me, which I absolutely deny,’ Mr. Weber said in a statement from his lawyer” from The New York Times. However, despite all his denial in such almost incredulous situation, many more models, mostly male, continued to argue for the cause and also testified for the inappropriate behavior that even happened outside and during the shoot for fashion campaigns. However, throughout all the claims of whether Weber had actually been sexually exploiting the 17-year-old male models, many disputes have been put forth and none is for certain. The fact that male models were payed less than iconic women was a even worse claim that leads to an easier male models to become the victim in these uncomfortable situations. Mr. Tom Ford who has worked with Bruce Weber explains that, “‘Male models are paid much less and they do not become icons, because the culture is about objectifying women to well things, and people are deeply uncomfortable with that happening to men’” reports The New York Times. As I read these articles and picture the scenes for myself, though there are no evidence to this ever happening to anyone; however, it is not hard to believe given that the industry is that

worse things are better left unsaid, or at least some of these this does not conclude that this case is the end. Though Weber’s reputation has severely been damaged based on the proposed allegations of sexual misconduct, the man is still around and his work is still pasted on the walls of some people’s rooms or other places throughout the world. His work is truly amazing, but his work ethic may not have been the best. Debates are still going through at the moment but at the end of the day, it’s extremely scary to see a man being so famous in his 40 years of his career getting completely tarnished by a couple comments from other people in the industry.

MEET & GREET

“Hi AZRYAL Mag Readers! My name is Alice Choo and I am a senior at Parsons The New School that is located in New York City.” What does it mean to be a fashion designer? It means to become a person that inspires many through fabric, prints, embroidery, silhouettes, etc. And to just have fun with clothes.

-DESIGNER-

What inspires you to design and what do you design?

ALICE CHOO Interview

My story and my life inspires me.

What does it mean to be a female fashion designer? Though I don’t think being a female fashion designer has significance in dealing with becoming a fashion designer, what matters most is the story and how relatable it is to empower other women. Designers have a unique, silent, but a strong voice to reach out to people on the other side of the world through design.

How can we learn from you in a feminine aspect of your career or creations? I am a female and I stay true to myself. However, me being a woman, though can be insignificant due to cultural standards, doesn’t define my status, my creation, or my career. It’s what I design and what I put out there that matters the most. If I can influence, inspire, or make someone happy through my designs, than that is enough for me.

How can other women feel more empowered with what they create and as a overall mindset? Just do you. It’s important to listen to critiques and different opinions but it’s more important to listen to your gut and go with it. Have faith in your own work and have fun!
