And what better way to start off a newly launched fashion magazine with our big story? It’s the first time to feature a personality, Shahwan SETHI possessing with multi talents. It all came about when he had dreamed to be an entrepreneur back in 2006 but joined a Shipping company as HR executive. Another one is our cover story of Flawless on page 07. It’s the first ever-intimate glimpse into the trends of fur coats by UAE woman designer. I’ve been thinking of how proud she would have been on her way to success and chasing her dreams. In addition to Flawless, I’ve long respected the work of famed photographer Sher Ahmed. His photo portfolio on page 43 represents his fashion work for a glossy magazine in more than 30 years — and his first ever collaboration with ModaDynastie. It took me couple of years to find a man like him, but the results, I think you’ll agree, are epic. This month, we also have an exclusive Harbin Fashion Show 2017. I hope you enjoy the issue.

“YOU COULD BE FIXATED AT YOUR CHILDHOOD THAT’S WHY YOU SMOKE!”
67
Moda Dynastie
AS I LIGHTED ITS END, THE SMELL REMINDED ME OF THE ETERNAL PLEASURE OF WHAT IT CONTAINED. SIMULTANEOUSLY I WAS REMINDED OF MY FRIENDS FUNNY LITTLE THEORY, “YOU COULD BE FIXATED AT YOUR CHILDHOOD THAT’S WHY YOU SMOKE!” AND THIS THOUGHT WOULD ALWAYS MAKE ME CHUCKLE. FIXATED! WHAT DID SHE MEAN BY THAT?
O
A
s per her theory, it was some psychologist named as Freud who had assumed that a person would smoke because they were fixated somewhere in their childhood. And what she meant by fixated was something to do with; when your needs are not properly worked out, the individual could become fixated at that particular stage of development. She related all this to the psychosexual stages of development and my smoking is somewhat linked to the first stage of development, named as the oral stage. That stage basically is from infancy to 3 years of life. At that point of time the infant receives pleasure and happiness from the mouth region (lips, teeth and tongue). And how they gain happiness is from sucking, breast-feeding, eating, putting things in their mouths, etc. Hence as per Freud I could have been somewhat fixated partially in that stage which led me to seek approaches in my adulthood which actually would unconsciously gratify those basic impulses which were not properly worked out.
bviously I found this utterly awkward and in that way I could be fixated at every level of my developmental stage. So now I am supposed to be somewhat of an Oral receptive personality who is supposed to be having a good appetite or in psychological terms being preoccupied with eating and drinking (I don’t drink though!) and also such people reduce tensions through oral activity such as eating, drinking, smoking, biting nails. Plus such persons from whom one is me also; are basically passive, needy and sensitive to rejection (which I totally am!). Most of our energies would be coming from our mouth, which basically makes sense to me because I am utterly good with my words and I know how to play, manipulate and control people with my words. Hence, what sense it makes to me is that either I would have been fixated on dummies or using of my mouth too much that made such a reflex reproduce in my adult life in the form of a clever mouth and cigarette, which particularly gave me relief and comfort of some sort.
T
oo much psychology involved! And it is all because of you my dear cigarette. But I sometimes wonder about myself, and perhaps it is best to know yourself best before anyone else can take advantage of you. he stress of not being understood is what lingers in the back of my mind for most of my free time. But I am vigilant of this challenge with in me. Being a watchful person I can be very well self-aware of what I am giving away, and what someone is giving away. Alert to every word of a person and a swift memory, certainly anyone who sees me doesn’t just ends up liking me but … Not just a pretty face, but one which radiates intelligence and charm…!

There is no limit to the sky STABILITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY IMPORTANT RESERVES WHICH I HAVE TRIED TO MAINTAIN
S
ometimes I wish people knew me a bit more. I know that everyone has their own personal space but when I demand that it becomes a problem. Not that I am going around screaming and demanding space, but I have a calm attitude of keeping my reserve. And when I display even a little of such reserves it makes the other person uncertain about me. I don’t want people to have any impression of what bad I am going through so I pull up my socks and hide my disappointments; and there people have a problem with that! Surely I show signs of friendliness and also a desire to please people. But I would also have things my way, prefer to control things at times, and I will speak up my mind to anything that would challenge my values and opinions. I have surely inherited intelligence and common sense from my parents; synchronously I have also been bestowed with intellectualness and logics.
C
ollectively a good mind and a good mouth is what I possess. From which I have gained a lot. Obvious it’s not all about charms it is also about your inner goodness. I try to keep my word and promises. Something which is a part of a package of how to astonish people! ! It’s not hard for me anymore to astonish people; be it to a charm a girl or throw an imaginary slap at someone! My capacity to be point to point can shake people enough, especially those who lack confidence. Call it mean or attitude but be prepared to take the risks from my voluptuous ego. But at the same time I know somewhere I am a generous person, and long to show such traits in friendship and love.

Be different... you’ll be irreplaceable &
Irresistible!!!
Finally my fears are my motivators but I somehow manage to hide them behind my clever mouth and fancy eyes. I do have a conscious of my weaknesses but I don’t let them win over me, and if I feel vulnerable I conceal my true feelings by either indulging in a joke, humor and as I have a good mouth I can steer the conversation to what I feel ease at. But one thing I believe that has never changed in my life is that since childhood till now no one has been able to understand me.
The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.

I can also have the tendency to have two faces! I don’t relate that to hypocrisy, but more in terms of a calm and aggressive personality trait. I prefer to have the face of a calm person, the one withdrawn or never effected by anything, but many do not know or I should say don’t want to know the aggression which burns within me. They still have to witness that! Though aggressive tendencies are within everyone but I have learned to use them to my advantage. Though it has been a long battle within me, where only I know that I have been a victim of my own inner conflicts. But surprisingly it has been these inner conflicts and also the mercies bestowed from my God, where I found a channel for my inner conflicts which turned in to a passion of ambitions for achievements.

“Everything you want is on the other side of fear. It’s nice to hear Applause” Maybe in my future I would want to keep this entire aside and lead a private life, but for now I want to enjoy. Developing leadership qualities has leaded me to have another determination and dimension of wanting to do things out of my way. Though already I do things my way; I open up enough to people in determination of how much I want people to know about me and my actions. I do not like disclosing every single act of mine and I prefer to live by own values. Certainly I have enormous energies in me, which has made me into a workaholic, with reflection of my creativity and artistry in my free time and a bit if a spender, but I value the power of money. I can be generous, in matters of money, to the ones I love and also to those who appeal me to my sense of values.

C ‘N’ B CLASSIC BURGER (Velocity Sports Lounge) The JW Marriott Marque Hotel is home to numerous restaurants, they do offer a verity of food from across the globe, one of the best thing this Lounge has to offer is mouthwatering and yummiest, the C ’N’ B Classic Burger. Piercing to the classic presence of a gorgeously grilled burger, inside sat a chunky piece of succulent beef with just the right amount of char and sharp cheddar on top, which gradually radiated onto the edges of the large sesame bun. Simply mesmerizing to eat and even look at!
BURGERS DUBAI IMPRESSIVE PHOTOSHOOTFROM OUR READER A MUST TRY! Hmm! for all the Lamb meat lovers, spiced lamb burger is a gem! Made in an amount of time served to create this piece of art. The details, the flavors and balance of lamb patty and brioche bun was designed intricately to the very last crumb. The lamb was very tender and moist, while the totaling of cucumber yoghurt proved to be a fine move, providing a sense of freshness to each bite.
SPICED LAMB BURGER (Firebird Diner)
THE GREAT JAMAICA BLUE BURGER The biggest the best not on top of list but that does not mean it’s not the best. Definitely one of the tastiest of all time burger. Housed inside a toasted roll with just the right amount of crunch, lay a mouthwateringly thick chicken breast latent over adequate layer of lettuce and chopped onions. Along with that beef bacon provides sweet yet smoky tang, sandwiched between a fried egg and the chicken, shadowed by a large sprinkle of parmesan cheese, which tied it all together. To some it all up, a mouthwatering and never to miss it kind of burger!

Darkest of Dark Polishes For the love of Dark! Just like the beauty trends bending towards some really dark hues for the lips, the nails are also seeing a gothic overhaul, giving the manicure a more ominous effect. We are seeing black polish and darkest of greys, some really dark purples and others that hint at black.
Slivers of Silver Who can go wrong with little bit of silver and shine? It was enormous for spring and it certainly makes one of the best fall/ winter 2016-2017 nail trends. The silver additions all over the collections are seen as an ode to the future, where seemingly everything is expected to be shiny metallic.

It brings out the shine with the crystals embellishing some extremely funky looking nails, with eyes staring back at you.

Be on TOP company is a superior Online Marketing and SEO agency in the UAE. The history of our professional SEO and digital marketing company began in 2006. During that period there were many companies who wanted to make an introduction of their services on the internet and very few specialists with experience in web development . It became apparent that there were opportunities for success in this market. The first projects were managed on popular CMS software, but with a unique original design. In parallel, development of a simple and easy CMS began. Soon we understood that it was not enough just to create a website but also to make it easier to search on the internet. That is why we have decided to focus more predominately on search engines algorithms. In 2008 we founded the SEO and digital agency, called "BEONTOP" and its CMS became the main platform for all developments. It remains, constantly improving and acquiring new modules and features allowing you to create websites of any complexity, including Internet shops and corporate projects that are increasingly well indexed by search engines.
