C urro Durรกn Fashion Designer
How does the creation of a new design start off ?
I
usually get the inspiration from stuff that I like, from the old times, from fashion highlights... I admit that I am passionate about fashion made in the 20s, 30s and 40s, in addition to the 50s. I try to get inspired, whenever possible, in the haute couture of those years, but always keeping an eye on the avant-gard trends. 14
Do you have a weakness for any fabric in particular?
T
o be honest I am an ultra-fan of shantung obtained from wild silk. It is a wonderful fabric which has many positive points: great effects are achieved thanks to the fabric body, its flexibility similar to that of paper and its glossy shine. Colours come alive in wild silk!

How do you define your creations? like to think they are full of personality, with a distinct signature. I also consider them to be timeless, as taken from a fashion history book.
In your opinion, what are the most important features determining your work?
I
think the good quality in the making of my work, the finishing touch and the perfect cuts. My designs are as detailed in the inside as in the outside and that always stands out. Apart from the good “connection�, I think that my work is made with great care, leaving not a whit unconsidered.
Have you changed compared to your early stages?
o
f course I have. (haha) Very much indeed! Every passing year and every work you make change you somehow. You get to learn new stuff and to see things from different perspectives.
Would you tell us any curiosity about your designs?
T
he pattern of all my designs are 100% made by me, for I think the personality of the garments lies in it.
What does Curro DurĂĄn dream of ?

Il Ciclamino is inspired by Coco Chanel for dressing its new autumn-winter collection
Il Ciclamino

“Pearls are always right”
18
So was claimed by Coco Chanel, a woman who managed to transform this precious natural material into jewels of genuine fashion. Following in the footsteps of Coco and her pearls, the brand Il Ciclamino Jewellery, affiliated to Tenerife Moda del Cabildo, is inspired by the elegance of the Maison to give shape to its new 2014/2015 autumn-winter collection.
Il Ciclamino launches its new collection by making it coincide with its ten years as a fashion firm. It has been difficult times due to the decrease in consumption derived from the global financial crisis. Nevertheless, far from giving up, the firm is betting on reinforcing its bases, which contain the ideas, values and dreams of its owner but adapted to the new market trends.
The launch ceremony took place on the 5th of September in a fashion show held in Real Casino of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Brands such as Lucas Balboa Gentleman and Marco y María (M&M), also affiliated to Tenerife Moda, collaborated with Il Ciclamino by lending part of their men’s collection and their party wear collection which accompanied this jewellery show.
Among the immediate Il Ciclamino’s challenges, it stands out the increase of presence in Amazon España, being the only firm affiliated to Tenerife Moda with sales in this online platform. It is also digitising the brand, strengthening the points of sales in the Canary Islands and making a leap forward by emerging in the national and international markets, mainly in countries like Italy and France.
Under the name of Coco, the designer Paola Giorgini presented around a score of jewels in which pearls of different sizes and shapes are linked together through gold- and silver-plated aluminium chains. White, black, red, golden and some brushstrokes of beige are the main colours which give life to necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings. These jewels are presented under pure and simple lines, an emblem for Casa Chanel.
With Coco Chanel, Paola Giorgini is paying tribute to one of her muses with plain but elegant designs made for dainty and romantic women. After this collection, the brand is already preparing a new line inspired in another icon of feminism: Frida Kahlo.

How was your vocation for jewellery design born? My dream and world were dance and theater. But after failing to study classical ballet, it was clear to me that my profession should be related to some artistic theme. So I was about to start studying sculptural ceramics, when I changed plans and decided to pursue the four-year vocational training in jewellery. What here is called craft, in Germany is a kind of job, a profession. I must say that for me it has also been a vocation until today ... for my
fascination has not gone a single moment in the 35 years that I’ve been doing this. In fact, you never get to the end of things, you never stop learning and the possibilities to express yourself through jewellery are endless ... is much more than a job.
How do you define your style? What makes your pieces unique and different? I would say that my style is varied. But I cannot deny that what can mostly be seen through my pieces is a style based on geometry, clear and clean lines but often also organic. These issues are combined and mixed. Perhaps influeced by La Bauhaus, Klee, Kandinsky and many others of the time. Also an inclination to their philosophy of creating through a set of different professions acting hand in hand to complete the work. I like the endless possibilities of combining the similarity between some techniques and the content of different professions, collaborations... I believe that every material object is worth to be protagonist or ‘partner’ in a jewel ... The value of my designs is not in the noble materials of the ‘classic’ jewellery, but in the design, the originality and the sensations or the ‘message ‘it transmits. Any material can be the vehicle to bring this message to the bearer of the piece and the viewer. As a painter intends to bring ‘something’ to the observer through canvas, brush and colors, I try to ‘move’ something inside with my work. It is not only a decoration jewel ... .If someone gets one of my jewels, it is because she has connected her interior to a part of my being and my interior. Something has reached her ... a feeling, a sensation, a warning ... it could be many things ... Therefore, many of my pieces are unique, not only for its design or for only existing once, but because it has just got this one person.
40
MADE Now Magazine
What is your philosophy? Once again, my style and being unique and different is closely linked to my philosophy. I believe that jewellery, like any other art form, is a means of communication. Through it I can express sensations, feelings or transmit a message. I connect with the observer or the wearer of the piece at a conscious or unconscious level ... With every piece that is given to its new owner comes something from the person who has designed and crafted it. And this applies to every artistic form and discipline. Where the painter acts through brush and canvas, or the dancer through its body and music, the jewellery creator chooses metals and other materials and puts them in shape and relation .. Each piece is something personalised but also personal. Individual as the individuals we are .... special.
What materials you use and why? In principle, I use any material ...... In metals from noble metals such as silver, gold and platinum, to copper, brass and especially aluminium, which is the subject of my work for some years now for different reasons. I got to aluminium, after many years working exclusively noble metals, for an employment as an instructor for a course by the municipality of Icod de los Vinos through the Mancomunidad del Norte. I needed a manageable and economical material for my first practices with students ... So an acquaintance, who works with a variety of metal for locksmithing, gave me the idea... I tried it, it worked fine and I liked it. So I continued researching the various techniques of artisan jewellery and I liked the idea more and more. Also at that time aluminium jewellery was practically non-existent, with one exception of a guy who worked the Canary rings in aluminium. But there we didn’t coincide because my style is completely another. As I have always been a bit of a rebel, always with the intention not to get lost in the mass of many, wanting new ways and innovating, this
When making a jewel, what inspires you? Anything. Nature, architecture, a material..., music, art, in general. A memory, a feeling, people and life itself ...
topic came to me like a glove. Doesn’t everyone work with silver? .... Well ... I don’t. More and more jewelers work with aluminium today ... because there will come a time when I no longer do it and I’ll find another way to create and communicate. There are many materials and in contemporary jewellery everything is “allowed”. Another issue is recycling. I care about recycling in many ways and I feel very happy, when I find a material or object, which apparently has a function, a utility or a set destination, and I can take it out of context and give it a ‘new life’. Maybe that’s why my design with used materials are sometimes ‘unique’ and, above all, surprising. I used objects and materials that were not obvious in the finished piece until I reveal their origin and the viewer gets amazed. Recycling on its own is already an important message today, in times of uncontrolled consumerism on the one hand, and a supposed ‘crisis’, not only economic but also and mainly of principles, on the other.

What do you like about your job? Is there anything that you hate? About my job? I like everything. I like designing, creating, especially making things with my own hands. I like researching, innovating, learning, playing with the materials. I really enjoy that! I love my job. I never see it as work, in which I am forced to keep my schedule. I love being in my studio, I love my tools which are part of me when I use them. My workshop is my ‘bubble’, my space, my concentration ... .I love teaching, evolving with my students, learn with them, create with them ... .Observe how, gradually, they are receptive, they commit , they learn to love patience, challenge, accuracy and thoroughness to achieve an optimal result ... when passion is transmitted to them ... .. What don’t I like? ....There are certainly techniques that I like less than others ... But hate? What is hate? A ‘human invention’ ... ..I don’t know hate, either to people or to things ... .I feel contempt for many things that happen in this world ... ..but nothing about my job. I do not like mass production, mindless and soulless art, pure and simple for consumption or as a status symbol ... .. For me, every human being is entitled to his jewel, as much as it can represent. I don’t like jewellery being only reserved for a small, privileged group of people. A jewel is always ‘a luxury’ because it is not essential as food and shelter. But don’t we all have the right to rejoice our lives with some luxury?
What does it mean for you to exhibit your creations on a platform like Cibeles? Well. For some years certain people used to tell me why don’t you go with fashion creations? And honestly from some time ago I had the feeling, the desire and the interest to leave the islands, explore new paths and go out to ‘the world’ ...... .but personal, economic circumstances and many more “excuses” I never dared to step forward . I do not believe in coincidences but ‘causalities’. I think that everything in life has its time ... So when I already had on top of my ‘to-do list’ the subject of fashion, I just went to get informed by talking to those responsible for Tenerife Moda in order to find out if there wass a possibility to merge my work with fashion. It then came the invitation to participate in a show by young designers. And I accepted willingly. Just the same month I had another show, held in the Canary House of Madrid, to present my work. And so, events gathered and as a result we are now presenting our work in Momad Metropolis. It is a new way not only to open doors and find new markets, but it is also a means of seeing how much is my work appreciated ‘out there’ .... I do not follow trends, as fashion changes very fast. I am willing to face the challenge of creating trend. People look for different, novel work and I do not want to lose my identity ......
42
MADE Now Magazine
What advice would you give to young people interested in the world of jewellery design? ... That they should come to learn with me ... lol ... .. No, seriously. If they have a serious interest, they should look for a place to learn ‘for real’, where it is recognized as a profession and not as a hobby or a handcraft. It can be a nice hobby, but if you want to learn or study this craft, one should look for the right place. La Massana School in Barcelona is a very good option, in what refers to contemporary, conceptual jewelery. There are many other places .. But ... wherever you go, always seek to learn the craft. It’s like arts ... first the artist has to master well the techniques and get some practice before they can express freely through their ‘tool’ or ‘instrument’. If the dancer does not have a serious background on the classical techniques, it will not be a good contemporary dancer. First it is the foundation, and after that we build the most experimental part and we gain the freedom to express ourselves. You’re not, in my opinion, and this refers not only to the world of jewellery, a good designer if you do not know and master the techniques to perform the piece and produce it ... .. With time, maybe you’ll just desing and other will manufacture your creations, but again, first thing to do is learning how to make it.

My blog, IMNOTAITBOY, is a personal platform concerning men’s fashion. In it, I show my outfits and post my creations. Bit by bit, I am increasing the number of new collections, designers and brands that I fancy the most or that simply inspire me…. But I’m not revealing yet all of what is coming up!
How come you became a Blogger? The idea of making my own fashion blog occurred to me some time ago. At that time I didn´t consider myself prepared enough as to pop up in the blogosphere. Therefore, I took some time to observe and catch up on the topic until I finally plunged into it. Having studied Fashion Design and Haute Couture made the whole idea seem quite reasonable since I have always been somehow involved in the world of fashion.
Do you think it is a world in which women are leading the way? In fact, if we focus in the world of egobloggers, it is certainly clear that women are more present. Unlike men, fashion is something common in the life of most women since they are children. Furthermore, women generally let themselves get advice from what they find in the blogosphere, while men usually pay less attention to it. I don’t think that this is an area in which women play the leading role. There are many men making outstanding contributions with their opinions. It is only that for them it becomes more difficult to win a well-deserved place. It is also true that the fact that women are more present is very appealing to brands, reinforcing their role. But here we are, Menbloggers on our way to change the mould!
Do you see yourself as an EGOblogger? I don’t consider myself an EGOblogger but I must admit there is probably something of it in me, don’t you think?
MADE Now Magazine
57
What can we find in your outfits? How can I define my outfits? Actually, I think they are very personal, showing a lot of myself. I design them based on comfort and the garments I like the most. It is what you would find in my own wardrobe. To be honest, the outfits displayed in my blog are what I wear not only for a shoot but also on a daily basis.
What’s your opinion on the fact that the advertising campaigns of the most important brands feature the coolest bloggers of the moment? What can I say? If they fit the image of the brand, I think it is great. A brand must use a face that is capable to describe the concept within the collection, whether he/she is an egoblogger or not. To me, that plays no role.
Being a Spaniard who lives in Switzerland, where do you get on better as a blogger? The fact that I am in Switzerland at the moment allows me to attend the events taking place here and to collaborate with local brands. Nevertheless, my blog is greatly followed by many people in Spain.
Give us your opinion on current fashion I consider myself a person who adapts well to new trends. I like fashion and I love to have fun with it. That’s the way one should see things, I think. By the way, I have a weakness for some Spanish designers…, but I’m not telling anymore for the time being! www.imnotaitboy.blogspot.ch

DRESSING FORMAL Our image is what transmits to others what we are, and that is why we must be very careful on how, when, and why we dress. In this case we will talk about an outfit that is used for solemn celebrations, and official or high standing events.
Per sonal hygiene is essential, and the mere mention of it is just daring, but I do not want to be accused of skipping anything. Personal hygiene is vital, not just to dress formal but for everything you do in life. Thus, cleanliness is vital.
For something to remain, it must be learned and practiced. With education and good manners anyone can be very elegant. There must be consistency between our

But before we delve into the correct dressing, I would emphasize that dressing formal is much more than a costume. Within etiquette goes elegance, cleanliness, good manners. That is why I do not want to show formal dressing only as a series of appropriate costumes, but as a way of knowing how to relate to people and how to fit in a certain place.
language and the way we dress. We have to take advantage of our most striking features. Now, talking about suits and formal attire, one must be careful when choosing, NOBODY is going to say that our dress is inadequate even if it is, so it is important to note that what we put on is exactly what complements our personality.

Black and White Perfect combination or fatal error? Por Nayra Barreiro
MADE Now Magazine
79
Black represents authority and power. Seriousness and domain. It speaks of mourning, sobriety and the dark, mystical and mysterious side of people. White represents neat image. It stands for purity and chastity. It is the color of trust, sincerity. Nothing to hide! It relates to the divine and heavenly. And here comes the reflection: What should be considered when combining two colors that are quite opposite in terms of imaging and meaning? Mystery and clarity, the dark side and the heavenly one... are they compatible? This poorly understood combination can lead to remarkable style errors that will make us lose prestige against our partners. Its most extreme combination gives rise to excessive, aggressive or inordinately dynamic looks. Or worse, it may seem that we wear a uniform to work. But combining these colors masterfully bring elegance and class, we get a powerful and full of character image. Worthy of the best fashion magazines!

And what then? How does one combine black and white with success? There are some very interesting tricks and considerations that will help us get on some occasions the elegance of Audrey Hepburn and, in others, the perfect look for a fashionist sigh. From the point of view of image consulting, the black and white contrast projects impact and dynamism. They are opposite colors, as we have said, which taken to extreme combinations cause certain aggressiveness. And that, combined with skill, they can make us look real Hollywood stars.

Here are three easy ways not to fail in your combinations: 1- White and black pure It’s consists of not leaving the black and white duo. Wear this combination throughout your look Apart from impact, you will gain in sophistication! But beware of the most aggressive combinations, abusing geometric shapes to cause dizziness. They are not the most recommended unless that is your intention. Like the “uniform” effect, if we wear an excessively flat look regarding design and shapes we can look down on it. As it happened to Sienna Miller in this photo. If it were not for her shoes we’d think she’s about to serve us two coffees with milk. Not that way, please!

You wake up, you look around and all you can see are images. You blink and a new slide fills your view with light. Thus, redefine the concept, try to escape and capture the moment that will make your day a special one, like when you press the shutter release in a photo camera and you feel that everything is perfect because you have got the image you were after, an image no one can take from you. Wander around, not everything is black and white, look for the grey. It is also a colour, it is also an opportunity, even maybe a possibility. Try to find your path, take a break. Realize that time is just a whisper cut off by the pleasures of the world and that all you encounter are images, blinked captures which are forgotten under a black background. Rise up, and shatter the image to pieces so that you can form a figure.

“Surely you can’t imagine who I am, where I’m going and what I’ll do next. You are there tied up and you cannot go anywhere. You can hardly move forward and you cannot even go backwards. But I can. I have a job to do. A mission to be executed. So let me move on. “ Haruki Murakami.
Why did you choose designing?
Orthopaedics was the cause. In the “analytical essay on the mirror stage”, the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan speaks of the alluring moment in which for the first time, the child recognizes and takes spatial awareness of himself in the mirror image. The “fragmented” self-image in the mirror is a creator of fantasies; to this images he called it orthopaedics. From this time we grow the desire and concern for recognition. The search for our own identity. In this investigation, you discover that your own body does not belong to you. From the first moment, it is given to the world of others. You learn to be “ecstatic”, ie, to be outside or beside yourself. Immediately, you feel immersed in grief: the grief of knowing that your own body does not belong to you. This makes us vulnerable to violence but also another set of contacts, contacts ranging from the eradication of our being at one end, to the physical support of our lives at the other end. Therefore, the body invariably has a public dimension, constituted as social phenomenon. This is where fashion acts as an intermediary between power and the body; understanding “power” as social agents external to the body, those who “control” it. In conclusion, fashion is the tool for the search for identity, forging and execution. Moreover, it claims the legitimate rights that we must have on our own bodies. Do you have or create style?
Well, both. The fact that I am also a graphic designer has a great influence on it. I possess a great visual imagery (batimientoscerebrales.tumblr.com), much of it is NSFW; hence I draw my inspiration. I play with contradictory and absurd concepts, seeking or creating common ground between them and thereby establishing new archetypes.

In your opinion, what has changed since your beginnings?
94
I haven’t been a long time in this world, I’m still learning; but I can say what I think it is happening. We are in a very turbulent time of transition in every way. Postmodernism is dead. We are living some of the highlights of our humanity. New lifestyles are emerging and those that were hidden are sprouting, demanding their place in our society. In fashion, it is also taking place a great revolution, particularly in menswear. Men have been very repressed when dressing already since Victorian times. “For a successful public presentation, the virile ideal man in the start of the nineteenth century, would dress in basic moral obligation: a tailored dark suit, a white shirt, tie and pale gloves.” From this moment, this thought has prevailed in our society and it is still alive. This is the time to change this conservatism. Many designers, especially younger ones, are already working on it; and since a couple of years ago it is starting to be displayed on the big catwalks. In the collections of graduation fashion schools, more students choose to design menswear than womenswear. There are many more options to innovate and create in men’s fashion than in women’s. But more than a binary fashion, based on the differentiation between the two genres, it is rising asexual fashion, which definitely breaks with this absurd duality, following the statement that gender is something constructed. Is it a key fact to leave out in order to progress as a professional?
Yes, it is. In fact, it should be mandatory. It opens your mind and makes you more tolerant.

How do you define fashion in Berlin?
Long live trashy! Death to chic! Constrained out! Berlin is the epitome of freedom and surrealism; and you really notice when dressing. Any combination is possible. Eclecticism floods the streets; among true punks, Turkish ladies with hijab, and drunks who try to explain the difference between Apple and Windows, beats the creativity and innovation of a city that lives and breathes art. The catwalk is out to dance techno. It becomes more visible in the endless lines of trendy clubs; especially on Sunday afternoon. The night life in Berlin has greatly influenced the way Berliners dress and act; creating a style of native life where there are no conventions, going beyond trends and based on self-exploration. Which is your most important feature?
In this world of conventions is difficult to differentiate from the rest. To do this, you need to get away from all conventions, learning to be ecstatic; knowing to choose intelligently what things interest you most in this world, based on your own personal experience and to play with them. How does one play ?, through contradictions, misleading people’s perception, questioning what they thought to be legitimate. Finally, give us 3 keys to a good design.
The first key is creativity, supported by a clear concept. The second run away from the conventionalisms that cloud our minds. Finally, a very good manufacture.

Your silhouette in the distance Night approaches with its silence a silhouette reveals in the distance footsteps of a smooth motion. Her appearance is an essence of distinction the vague figure in black and white, that elegance that makes me fall in love. You move forward with class under the silent moon not knowing yet that it is you, under that skin, the one who lights the flame of love.

Did you always want to be an actress?
I had always an urgent need for “communicate”, in a broad sense of the word. I discovered arts in general and dramatic art in particular as a way to express the desired emotions.
The fact that you live in the Canary Islands, has it complicated your career?
I have lived in England and Madrid. I travel a lot. I am fine with moving around. So today I’m here but tomorrow, who knows where? That puts an end for me to any geographical boundaries. Anyway, I am working a lot here. There are quite a few movies that are being filmed at this moment, some of them are very interesting. I have been lucky to be part of the cast in “Wild Oats”, a film that has been shot here on the islands with the presence of important Hollywood stars.
The audience usually have a limited knowledge of the work performed by actors, what can you tell us about what happens behind the cameras?
A whole world indeed. Many things are always going on. A crew working restlessly, spending much time together, establishing both personal and profesional relationships. Sometimes one can feel the tension. The work is hard and often without any schedule. We all have the same goal when we are there. By the end, you are worn out, thinking of doing something different because working as an actor requires lots of guts and energy, much of oneself. Sometimes it becomes difficult to break away so you might end up taking home all the pain contained in your character, making it hard for those around you. But I always wind up being sure about my work.
How does one start creating a new character?
There are various techniques. The more resources an actor has the better. In my case, I like to start with improvisation. Once I have gone through the script, I begin to understand the character and then I try to improvise the way she would act. I figure out how she´d brush her teeth, how she’d move around, how she’d behave when she is alone or in company, what kind of things would worry her... Everything is different depending on the project. For instance, some directors prefer that the actors don’t prepare anything in advance but rather develope their acting on the spot with their mates. Every work is different in every possible way.
According to your opinion, what makes an actor to be special?
I think that what makes our profession special is that we transform into any type of person. That is important since we get to understand people better, becoming more empathic.
Which role would you like to interpret?
Every character I have interpreted is somehow special. It is always a very interesting challenge. Of course, I would love to give life to a powerful historical character, a brave woman defending the weak, loving her peers above all: power, money, ... But all the characters I have been lucky to interpret had something wonderful that made them unforgettable to me.
Finally, which advice would you give to those readers who want to become actors?
I am not the “giving-advice” kind of person. One should try it on his/her own. I don’t intend to set anybody an example either. Every experience is unique to different people. But I could tell them: Feel very welcomed to the show and enjoy it!!!

All cultures of our planet, regardless of any space and time in which they have developed, have felt a great interest in the physical appearance of individuals. For practical purposes, as the military and the importance of training as a guarantee of success to potential conflicts; For agonistic or competitive reasons, to highlight the physical qualities of the individuals of the community against their peers, visible in the different types of competitions that have been developed since ancient times to the present day; or merely for the sake of aesthetic, in search of the ideal of beauty itself for each time and place. Apart from the purposes listed above, there has always been a relative homogeneity of concepts, visible in attributes such as muscle development, associated with strength inherent to masculinity; while the voluptuousness of certain morphological patterns do so with respect to femininity. A brief review of the black and white of our humanity shows how different cultures have idolized human physical patterns. It attracts my attention the Greek aesthetic standards, especially visible in the artistic works of the Hellenistic era. This type of expression shows a vast knowledge of human anatomy and of the balance its shapes must keep. The foreshortening expressed in Laocoรถn or the athletic and balanced body lines shown in the Discobolus of Myron, without forgetting the feminine and beautiful lines of the famous Venus or Aphrodite of Milos make very clear the importance of having a nice body for the Greeks. Indeed, I dare to say that these body stereotypes are desired by a countless number of men and women today.
112
MADE Now Magazine
Nowadays, aesthetic goals are varied. From a body marked by thin lines, with no excessive muscle volume, characteristic of models, to the opposite end, defined by a hypermuscled body as shown by bodybuilders for whom sinews size gains maximum importance.
The objectives pursue in this section of our magazine will focus on establishing a middle ground between these two extremes, looking for our best symmetry and anatomical naturalness, an athletic body whose forms are faithfully adhered to elegance. But before we start dreaming of the kind of person that we would love to look like, we must consider that there are many body morphologies, as many as ways to improve them. Therefore, I recommend stand before the mirror with a critical and objective perspective that allows us to be aware of our body as a starting point. Next, we must clearly answer what our goal is. Past this point it is time to wear the overalls looking for the improvement of our potential, with especial emphasis on our own deficiencies.
113 MADE Now Magazine
Before setting out to achieve the objectives is essential to consider the following: - GENETIC COMPONENT: The genetics of each individual is unique. There are subjects with strongboned and well structured physique; others gain muscle mass easily; those who have a metabolism so fast that they do not accumulate a single gram of fat in their adipose tissue, and so many more conditions that could be included in this first article. SOLUTION: While it is true that not all of us possess innate conditions that lead us to carry the scepter of Miss or Mister Universe in its next edition, we can always take control of improving our physical state by working hard, with consistency and perseverance in order to achieve it. It is shown that perseverance and work will take us to the desired results. - SOCIAL COMPONENT: Our society imposes fashion and stereotype images that often determine our concepts of excellent bodies. For instance, in Brazil it is frowned upon the practice of swimming by women, since for them a back with bulky dorsal muscles would worsen the distinct lines of their waists connected to their round, voluptuous buttocks. SOLUTION: Given these imposed stereotypes one should be aware of one’s body and how one would like to be, with nothing and no one dictating about it. - ECONOMIC COMPONENT: It is critical because it will not have the same ease of improvement those having the best personal trainer in the country, in a gym equipped with the most complete material of his hometown, than those who don’t even have the possibility of access to a gym. SOLUTION: For all of them everything is possible. Necessity is the mother wit. There will always be an enabling environment to train out there, with your body and mind all out everything is on its way and I’ll help you discover how to achieve it.
MADE Now Magazine
114
- TEMPORAL COMPONENT: Our family and work obligations, often consume much of our time and they prevent us from escaping to do some sport. SOLUTION: Here I can only see simple excuses, because it just takes 50 minutes out of the 24 hours of a day for a good workout session. - MOTIVATIONAL COMPONENT: Indispensable to be highly motivated before starting, and above all, to be aware that today there is nothing impossible if we want to. SOLUTION: We must be motivated from the first to the last minute of the workout. Take the music that makes you fly away and visualize your target at all times. Bad energies must be kept away from the training area and learn to enjoy the journey. - NUTRITIONAL COMPONENT: Our diet must be complete and balanced. I’ve never been in favour of the implementation of strict diets. We are here to improve our life and therefore we will not neglect the quality of our daily food intake. The diet should be varied. SOLUTION: A diet has many variations depending on individual caloric expenditure, possible pathologies limiting the intake of certain products, etc. But a standard diet should contain 5 meals a day. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It should predominate foods high in carbohydrates. Then a light midmorning intake and a varied lunch after noon. In the late afternoon it is time for a snack which should be light and with a noticeable contribution of carbohydrates. At dinner, proteins should be present in order to stimulate the regeneration of our body during the sleep at night. These are the basic guidelines to follow. We will delve into more nutritional matters in coming issues of Made Now.
115 MADE Now Magazine
In this first issue, I will provide with a set of basic exercises that we should incorporate into our training routine as a key to success. We will be adding new exercises and specific variants to work and tone up the over 639 muscles responsible for moving our body. The main feature of these first exercises is that they can be performed almost anywhere outdoors and that they activate a huge amount of muscle groups.
EXERCISE: Running Muscles Involved: Running is considered as the exercise which activates the largest number of muscle groups and organs. For this reason we should introduce it in our training plan, at least three times a week. Technical Gesture: The upright, we must feel as if we were suspended by strings, like marionettes. We should emphasize the alternating arms and legs motion, that is, we move forward the right foot while we move backwards the left arm and vice versa. The foot makes contact with the ground through the heel and then it propels the body with the tip. Breathing should be controlled constantly. Application: There are many plans to train running, which we will be revealing in successive issues. To begin with, I recommend that each start is as varied as possible, with changes in pace and ground, looking for efficiency improvements but without ignoring the principle of progression in the intensity of the effort: always from low to high (10 minutes minimum of warming up with a gentle jog) Goal: Improvement of the osteo- muscular and cardiovascular system as well as the metabolism (active fat burning).
116

117

EXERCISE: Stair climbing. Involved muscles: Glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, etc.
Technical Gesture: Applying running techniques with markedly knees elevation.
Execution: I propose to make 10 to 20 climbs. The descent should be made with gentle recovery jog down to the starting point.
Objective: To improve cardiorespiratory and lower body
strength and power.
118 MADE Now Magazine

A BATHROOM MADE OF CHOCOLATE HAS BEEN BUILT... 9 MILLION CALORIES FOR YOUR DAILY HYGIENE! We have seen progress in the field of sweets, like the first 3D chocolate printer, but that’s no reason to stop working on original ideas ... Making bathroom accessories with real chocolate? It sounds crazy, especially knowing that they contain the equivalent of 12 years of food as far as calories are concerned... But the company Bathrooms.com and the designers of deChoccywoccydoodah have created a bath made with 100% Belgian chocolate ...
However, one must be careful with it because a nearby radiator or in direct sunlight would melt it ... Let alone if we wet it with hot liquids! We get to know this work thanks to Daily News, and it doesn’t come cheap. The whole set costs 80,000 pounds, more than 100,000 euros, and it consists of a bath, a bidet, a toilet and a sink, totaling 9.4 million calories ... Ian Monk, one of those responsible for the idea, says he was inspired by a misunderstanding: many people search in the English Google for “bathroom sweets” instead of “bathroom suites”, and now they can be in the sweetest bathroom they can imagine. Now, at a prohibitive cost ... If we keep the pieces at room temperature they will preserve well up to six months, and we can also order them individually ... It is clear that we will not use the toilet for what should be used, but I wonder whether the tub can be filled with a cold liquid and get inside it... Although I am afraid that it is not possible! In any case, these pieces are made upon request, in order to arrive as fresh as possible, and it takes around 2 to 3 months to be delivered to the buyer...

Barcelona studio FTA (Forward Thinking Architects) have projected the creation of vertical, floating structures that allow large cities to grow their own food and reduce their dependence on abroad ... For now it is just an idea, but it can help to change the archetypes of modern agriculture ... Forward Thinking Architecture studio, in Barcelona, has imagined an infrastructure that would allow some large cities grow their own food without need for large tracts of land. How? With vertical, floating farms which can manage the process automatically.
The project, which they have called ‘Floating Responsive Agriculture’, is specially designed for cities like Singapore
Geographically small, densely populated, located on the coast and with a high external dependence on food. “Imports are virtually the only means of food supply to Singapore ‘, is said by FTA. “We aim to create a network of vertical territorial infrastructure, located near the city, which can produce quality food according to the rhythms that requires an automatic control.”
These vertical crops are inspired by the floating fish farms and the city uses for fish. “We propose to change the model of a consumer-importing city to a self-sufficient city”, they clarify. For this reason, they also see a need to produce only what is needed, and no more. In their proposal, each of these facilities would be connected with the others and with the markets and they would adapt their production to the specific needs of the city.

“We use the sun as a guide,” said Javier Ponce to Fast Company magazine. “The loop shape allows the structure to receive more sunlight without causing excessive shadows.”

As Rihanna’s song! In this article I will take you to the world of the darkest fantasies in sex, and since the long-awaited film of the trilogy “50 Shades of Grey” is about to be released, I am writing this article which will serve as a tuning on the subject.
The term “sadomasochism” was first used by the Marquis de Sade, who was a French writer and philosopher of the eighteenth century. He used this concept in his works to refer to this specific sexual practice. Sadomasochism has existed for many years, but it was treated as a taboo, since it involves to abuse in order to give pleasure to those who decide so. In sex, it is the most extreme and unconventional sexual practice that, over time, has been arousing the curiosity of people and nowadays it is more “normal” to hear this term.
It is important to note that this article speaks of sadomasochism as an additional sexual game, and NOT as pathology

This practice consists broadly of adopting master or submissive roles: The Master: A person who dominates, who needs to exert aggression; commanding, imposing, humiliating… in order to feel excitement..
The submissive: Unlike the master, it is the one who needs to receive physical pain and /or psychological abuse in order to feel sexual pleasure. plus.google.com
The endpoint is also set by each participant. Most importantly, to practice sadomasochism both parties must be in complete agreement, as the goal is to break up with sexual monotony and ENJOY it.
For some, it is a simple game of roles, but even so, pain remains as the source of pleasure. PLEASANT PAIN; slaps and blows during sex, burns, bites on private parts and chest, pinching, strong bondage, clamps, etc., as far as it is allowed.

It is a ritual of passion, which is very well played and acted for those who practice it. So people should explore what they find most exciting.
