As always, the spring season brings fresh ideas and styles. This issue has a lot of variation. From super colorful and playful to dark and edgy editorials. The cover was shot by William Setiawan, a very talented photographer born in Indonesia, but currently shooting in Europe. William specializes in fashion, beauty and commercial photography. When I received his submission I knew right away that it needed to be DI MODA’s spring cover. It was everything that I was looking for. Colorful, fresh, artistic and of course, a beautiful face. You can check out the full beautiful face. editorial on page 56 to page 67. I also needed my "Artist of the month" this time, I came across with Victoria Scandale, a New York fashion designer. Read all about her on page 76 to page 77. I'm happy to say that this issue is one of the strongest and interesting of all. So far. A lot of the editorials in this issue were done by photographers that were previously published in past issues. I appreciate you all, with out all of you this magazine would have never happened. The next issue will be coming out around June or July. Please visit our website and subscribe to keep up to date with DI MODA magazine. And don't forget to follow us on Instagram and Facebook.

Victoria Scandale is a designer influenced by intriguing Eastern Europe and France, where She improved her passion for fashion and style. She made her debut in Milan with her first Autumn Winter Collection based on decisive cuts and linear forms, which create a total look with strong personality: geometric lines, circles, triangles and trapezoids intersect each other cre- triangles and trapezoids intersect each other cre ating discrete volumes with selected and refined fabrics. Coats with important collars, rich and soft rouches, skirts that highlight the waist, slim fit jackets, see-through blouses and provocative cuts on long and graceful dresses. Victoria Scandale devotes great attention to detail, qual ity and accuracy of the materials used in the ex- ecution of each item, never losing irony and femininity." - by Marzia Lazzaroni's article, Milan 2013. The history of Victoria Scandale family tree takes its roots in buckeit of European nations from Estonain and Polish origins to French and Russian.

Victoria was only five but she is still on the same route up until these days .Victoria later finished the art school while agreeing with her grandmother to teach her to saw. Howeever her higher education is in eco- nomics that she successfully competed with her university ... We could say that probably the history lost potentially the greatest architect
