odrigues Larsen first came to Dubai in 2003 and turned a AED 50,000 loan into a multi-million dollar business empire. As Founder and CEO of the Diva Group of Companies, Nicole established her first and core business, Diva Modelling & Events in 2003. Entering a market dominated by men and an industry in its early days, Nicole revelled in the challenge. Armed with a single desk, chair and phone, Nicole became a onewoman-show set to revolutionise the modelling industry in the UAE… and she did just that. At a time when procedures and disciplines were not only not adhered to but for the most part, unheard of, Nicole founded Diva Modelling on a strict set of values that cemented her agency as one of great repute and distinction. As a former supermodel herself, Nicole is all too familiar with the demands and challenges this line of work poses and personally oversees the selection, booking and management of every member of Diva’s talent team. Imparting wisdom and drawing on her personal experiences, she is in a unique position to serve as a role model for these young, aspiring models and actors who have placed their d re a m s i n her capable hands.

In 2006, after three years of successfully juggling her professional and personal lives, Nicole sought to expand her business. At a time when the UAE was experiencing tremendous growth in the tourism and real estate sectors, Nicole saw an opportunity and, with an initial purchase of off-plan properties in Emaar’s The Springs project, Diva Holdings was born. Having survived and thrived in the recession, Diva Holdings has expanded its property portfolio to a total of 33 investments in the UAE as well as the UK and USA; the management and maintenance of which continues to be a great source of personal pride for Nicole. Already a successful businesswoman and the recipient of the region’s most recognised business awards, Nicole’s dream was to create synergy amongst her businesses. In 20xx and 20xx respectively, Nicole established Diva Salon and Diva Laundry.

The perfect and vital complement to Diva Modelling & Events, these businesses not only provided the opportunity of bringing vital services in-house, but also created a whole new revenue stream that organically built on the success and growth of the Diva Group.A self-confessed serial entrepreneur, Nicole’s foresight and instincts have never failed her and once again, in 2010, Nicole opened her fourth business, NM Investments Limited. A graduate in finance, Nicole unequivocally believes that finance stands at the heart of every business and, much like its Diva predecessors, NM Investments was borne of an inhouse need and evolved into a full-fledged, stand-alone business. The newest addition to the Diva Group naturally continues to provide its services to the parent company along with a growing number of clients outsourcing their financial and investment needs.

“HER UNIVERSAL BEAUTY SIMPLY CHANNELS THE JE-NE-SAIS-QUOI THAT MAKES THE UNIQUENESS, STRENGTH AND CHARM OF EVERY DIVA WOMAN.”

As a corporation, the Diva Group continues to thrive and expand, enjoying a 33% year-on-year growth. As an entrepreneur, Nicole’s focus remains on innovation and expansion.

FEELING HUNGRY??? Should you eat?? Do 20 squats, 50 jumps, take hot bath and see if you are still hungry:-) Every hour drink 1 glass of water, small sips as it’s healthier way, add mint, lemon, start to LOVE water, make it your Best friend!!!

Smoking, alcohol, fast food, mayonaise, sausages, chips...- are your ENEMIES, always think of cellulite and love handles and HATE them! Nuts and oils are super healthy but don’t get carried away as they are high in kcal, 8 nuts and little of oil for your salad is more than enough. Potatoes-But not fried, you can have mashed or jacket in the skin if you really crave it! Create a habit to eat your meals without bread. . Never drink tea with added sugar. Why would you need empty Carbs??? Tea with honey much better BUT not with the food!

Moda Dynastie | Dragana Radosavljevic, or @dubaiblogger as she is popularly known on Instagram is Dubai’s famed lady entrepreneur into public relations. Her expertise, yet charismatic personality alongside the exceptional networking skills enable her to successfully promote many high-end brands in both, lifestyle and business level. Being a professional journalist into politics, a media business owner and a caring human soul above all, she has a keen eye for truth and the ability to let that truth shine through, reaching thousands of her social media and blog followers. With interesting posts and a crazy number of pictures, dragana.com features the journey of a cute Serbian family, that happens to be rolling in the luxury of Dubai. The blog covers parenting topics, philanthropy, healthy living, happy marriage guidelines, their own marriage authentic ups and downs, lessons learned, some fashion and modeling talents, travel diaries, inputs into a business world. Shortly – how the two grownups are daily striving to train their two little ones in the ways they should go, while working hard to earn their daily expats’ bread, the gluten free one, which is a way more expensive; and working even harder on their own relationship, trying to manage to save the marriage since the very first day, 28th May 2006. - To be honest, dragana.net supposed to be a glossy lifestyle blog at first. I tried to create something like that, but then I remembered I am a professional journalist, a business owner, a half-time blogger, allegedly influencer, a full-time mother of two and a wife of a one… not the simple one! So, Instead, I created the story of a sweet yet chaotic, fun packed family life, happens to be rolling in the luxury of Dubai.

DRAGANA RADOSAVLJEVIC Looking at all these young Bloggers & Instagrammers I’m like – Man, they have so much time! But truth be told, I wouldn’t trade my super crazy family days for anything. So, I am, willingly stuck with those days, trying to convert them into words.; a simple and honest life story of four ordinary people: a mother, a father, a sister and a brother that all together make something super cool and extraordinary indeed, a family. Super popular kids’ section is dedicated to Dragana’s kids Jana and Konstantin, as they dabble in children’s modeling, obviously following in Mama’s footsteps on the stage. Despite their young age, they have already appeared in campaigns for different World’s famous fashion brands, such as Bloomingdale’s and Armani Junior, but modeling for Kinder Chocolate was the favorite job so far. As per the local media, Jana and Konstantin are two of the most popular mini models currently working in the industry and the siblings, no doubt, have achieved a success that many adult models can only dream about. It’s also thought that they are most likely to be the highestearning child models in the region, although the figures are kept as a secret by the parents who make sure that every single dirham goes to the college funds. - Writing for a living is my ‘cup of energy drink’ and the media industry is my comfort zone. Fashion too. As the appearance, itself is a big part of my job, I find this as a perfect excuse for practicing extreme shopping. On a daily basis. So, maybe she’ll give you a little inspiration posting the best of her business attire, street style, glam look and so on. Though she hopes her business acumen and the experiences and sweetnesses of being a mom will actually be the reasons to inspire you… To go resolutely after what you want… And make it happen.

MANY TALENTED AND BRIGHT PEOPLE AROUND

TETIANA BOGUSLAVSKA Tetiana Boguslavska is a Ukrainian singer-vocalist, music teacher, model andactress. Since her childhood, Tetiana had only one dream - scene, music and vocals. Her first steps into the music world- were at music school at a very young age, where it has been a love at first sight with piano and singing. Learning French at school influenced her musical orientation towards French music and artists, and Dalida, Edith Piaf, Lara Fabian, Patricia Kaas - became among her favorite singers. It is the reason why her repertoire includes so many French songs. After her school years, Tetiana joined the conductor-choral faculty at the music college of her native city of Krivoy-Rog. During faculty years, she participated to many contests and musical tours across Europe. Tetiana’s permanent search for new music styles and possibilities, as well as her strong determination to develop her music capabilities, pushed her to join the world-renowned Kiev Conservatory - faculty of Opera singing, and to devote herself to classical music. She performed at many events in Ukraine and other European countries and she did even participate to the famous contest “the Voice”. During these years, Tetiana met many talented, creative artists and teachers, who developed even more her passion for music and her choice to become a music professional. This is why she is now so happy to share her knowledge with children, teaching them vocals and piano at schools. Tetiana lives now in Dubai where she is delighting us with her strong and absolutely charming voice. She strongly believes that music is permanent movement and development, and because of this she never limits herself to

one music style. Therefore, her repertoire is very large and include many different styles - from classical music, to French chansons, Portuguese Fado, jazz, pop and rock. She is always ready to experiment new things in music. Currently she is preparing a new project with the participation of DJ, combining classic vocals, music trance and house. “Music is for me, the air I breathe” - says Tetiana. We are waiting for Tetiana’s new performances, new projects and wish her success in her career.

Engineer by profession, make-up artist by passion. Many of my clients are often shocked and surprised when they find out that I come from an engineering background. We all have something in our lives that we remember with perfect clarity the first time we discovered it. It could be that Barbie doll that was like your twin sister or the video game you could never get enough of. For me, it was cosmetics. I always knew that designing and arts were my biggest strengths in college. However, giving in to my parent’s wishes, I decided to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering. I know what it is like to feel stressed out as a university student and put in all your efforts into a major that you’re not even interested in. But, I also know what it is like to follow your dreams. Right after graduation, I decided to settle down and venture into the field of make-up and cosmetics once again. The limited career opportunities as a professional make-up artist in Pakistan did not dishearten me and I launched my own start-up – The Blush Lounge. Through make up, I can transform the appearances and personalities of my clients and leave them happy and content. Every day, I learn more about cosmetics, my clients and even about myself. I feel challenged and excited. Blush Lounge is not merely a profit-oriented start up – it is a symbol of hope that it is never too late to pursue your dreams.

Strolling along the inner streets of Lahore, did you ever step over a piece of

Pure Gold?

Or did Shah Jehan just step out of history, fitting yet another gem onto his peacock throne. Breathing in the fumes of love and hate, the gold smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes converge onto the last stone as he sets it precisely into the brass base and steps back to admire yet another masterpiece of uniqueness and creativity. Yet, his heart is heavy knowing that he is one among the handful of artists who comprise the last generation of their kind.

N WO

These are the artists who have carried on the 500 year old legacy of the Mughal Empire into the Lahore of today, these are the craftsmen who enamour every inch of the metal with love, precision and accuracy. These are the Jewellers of every womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s divine possession, Kundan. Kundan literally means pure gold. The craft was initiated by the Mughals in 16th century when intricate pieces of jewellery and ornaments were designed by setting precious stones into sheets of pure gold. With the world becoming a global village, the art of designing Kundan jewellery has modified over various generations. The current Kundan jewellery is crafted on a base of brass metal, with the same pleasing detailing as done before. I am blessed enough to have witnessed this precision in Kundan crafting. I belong to a family of Kundan jewellery artists. Having practically grown up around this jewellery making, I have more Kundan in my vessels than blood and can easily tell apart between originals and fakes. It also makes me greatly sad seeing that the amount of work put into the art and the amount of appreciation the crafters get is not equal. The craft of Kundan Jewellery has literally becomea dying art, suffocating at the hands of culture industries worldwide.

Belonging to a family comprising the last generation of artists, renowned for once having made Kundan for mughals, I feel it is extremely important to preserve the art of Kundan crafting. Not only does there lie a huge potential for the art to grow but it can also prove to be one of the hallmark of Pakistani fashion, opening multiple possibilities for new comers in the industry. Kundan market can also prove to be a great addition to Pakistani exports, boosting the economy to new levels, given that the art of fostered, nurtured and preserved.

Omar Mansoor

We had the pleasure of interviewing Omar Mansoor on behalf of Joy of Clothes, who is one of the few “Haute Couture Designer ” in London whose designs are as well ” MADE IN THE UK”.

Real couturiers in London are an endangered species, so to find one not just in business but flourishing and expanding is something to be celebrated. We will talk with Omar Mansoor, who is designing properly constructed, traditional, handmade couture. For him word-of-mouth has proved the most potent tool in gaining new clients and his customers now come, as he says, “from all continents and are all ages, literally from 17 to 70”. He got his big break when Her Excellency Sheikha Mayassa Al-Thani, the Princess of Qatar, fell in love with his work, and since then he has gone from strength to strength, with BBC’s Susanna Reid wearing his designs to Oscar’s red-carpet events. He’s the only couturier who is doing a regular exclusive collection for Royal Ascot every year since 2010.

Elegance And Simplicity Everything

“HAVING MODESTY MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL”

O n e of dubai’s most humble and young fashion designer . her passion to promote modesty through fashion. High quality and simplicity is our main focus at Samaa Collection. Believing in the concept “that modesty and fashion goes hand in hand” Women in UAE really care about what they wear and being born and brought up in Dubai, my love for the culture of wearing abaya in UAE bloomed every passing year. What women choose to wear, whether they cover or not, is a matter of pride. Even though abaya is a very simple clothing but there are so many different styles and fashion which makes it look beautiful. Living all my life in UAE I have been fascinated by abayas and the beautiful culture of UAE. Since years, I have been designing and styling their own unique fashions for years - experimenting with colors, patterns, and fabrics in incredibly creative ways. However, after receiving a lot of appreciation I decided to sell abayas online and since I started I got a lot on response locally and internationally.

The Emperors’ City By Shahwan SETHI

Lahore, the second most populous city in Pakistan and the 32nd most populous city in the world. Who doesn’t know about the city of hearts? Since childhood, we have been hearing that we are not born if we have not seen Lahore in real. Lahore was named after Lava, son of the Hindu god Rama, who supposedly founded the city. From 1524 to 1752, Lahore was part of the Mughal Empire and founded in 1526. In the late 16th century, the great Mughal emperor Akbar had built a great fort named as Shahi Qila, which was enlarged by his successors. The Mughals laid out gardens whose plants provided relief from the intense heat of summer, built fortresses covered with polychrome tiles, and tombs decorated with marble ornamented with semi-precious stones. During my roaming, I counted around 21 notable monuments, some of which date to the era of Emperor Akbar. The Lahore Fort is notable for having been almost

entirely rebuilt in the 17th century, when the Mughal Empire was at the height of its splendor and opulence. It was built with mud-brick during11th-century, which later reconstructed and renovated by Emperor Akbar in1566, who bestowed the fort with an architectural style that featured Hindu motifs. Shah Jahan period are also characterized by luxurious marble with inlaid Persian floral designs, while the fort’s grand and iconic Alamgiri Gate was built by the last of the great Mughal Emperors, Aurangzeb, and faces the renowned Badshahi Mosque. A journey started from the Lahore Railway station and directly headed towards the main attraction of the city, The Great Lahore Fort Shahi Qila. While capturing the different areas of the fort, every place has its own history, which makes it beautiful and stunning. And I am afraid if I am unable to do the justice with

Images take us to the era where the Emperors actually lived their royal historical period. The architecture was so elegant and delegate that still we can feel its quality of work. The Mughals, who were famous as builders, gave Lahore some of its finest architectural monuments, many of which are extant today. The emperors lived in Lahore for long periods, or stopped on their way from Delhi and Agra to the mountains and flower-filled valleys of Kashmir. Their gifts of western paintings and engravings profoundly influenced the developing style of Mughal painting in the late 16th and early 17th century. Lahore’s reputation for beauty fascinated the English poet John Milton, who wrote “Agra and Lahore, the Seat of the Great Mughal” in 1670. During this time, the massive Lahore Fort was built. A few buildings within the fort were added by Akbar’s son, Mughal emperor Jahangir, who is buried in the city. The Naulakha Pavilion is a white marble personal chamber with a curvilinear roof, located beside the

Sheesh Mahal courtyard. The structure was originally inlaid with precious and semi-precious stones and overlooked the Ravi River. Moti Masjid is one of the “Pearl Mosques”, is a 17thcentury religious building located inside the Lahore Fort. It is a small, white marble structure built by Mughal emperor Jahangir, and is among his prominent extensions (such as Sheesh Mahal and Naulakha pavilion) to the Lahore Fort Complex. The Sheesh Mahal (The Palace of Mirrors) is located within the Shah Burj block in northern-western corner of Lahore Fort. It was constructed under the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 1631-32. The ornate white marble pavilion is inlaid with pietra dura and complex mirror-work of the finest quality. The Diwan-i-Khas, or Hall of Private Audiences, in the Lahore Fort in Lahore, Pakistan was the place where the Mughal emperor received courtiers and state guests.

Roshnai Gate â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gate of Lightsâ&#x20AC;? is one of the thirteen gates within the Walled City of Lahore in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. It was the main entry point of the Rulers and the other nobles during the Mughal and Sikh Periods.

Gate is the entrance of the Lahore Fort. It was built by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in 1674. It has two semicircular bastions where lotus petal design adorns its base.

Mughal Emperor Akbar built two gates. Akbari Gate was built in 1566 and now called Maseeti Gate.

Although the land the Mughals once ruled has separated into what is now India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan, their influence can still be seen widely today. Tombs of the emperors are spread throughout India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

The Bridal Lounge understands brides and all their needs leading up to the big, and very special, day. We are here for you from this moment on to support you with your pre and post wedding or event preparations tailored to your wishes.
