EDITOR'S LETTER

WELCOME TO THE ISSUE Celebration is at the heart of Modeliste Magazine: of the women we admire, the fashion we love, the art and literature that inspire us. I truly believe a cover should encapsulate a message of hope and go above and beyond just a pretty image. This is exactly what we tried to achieve when we invited Alexis Ren to be our August cover star. For a start, Alexis, while having been on hundreds of previous photoshoots and campaigns, compiled her own mood board for our cover shoot. She wanted this Cover to be unique, something she hadn’t ever done before, and reflective of who she is in the present moment. What is particularly meaningful to me is the transformative social impact Alexis has had in fashion and in society in general and how she has also rapidly become an advocate for younger generations. I’m so grateful to Alexis for sharing the experience of her transformative past year. As she embarks on a new chapter in her career, Alexis is not only a remarkable model, performer and social-media titan, but an icon of positivity and inclusiveness for her millions of young followers.

Welcome to the Issue.

D I A R I E S


Tell us how you began your modeling career. I was spotted in a clothing store at 13, from there I signed with a modeling agency and made my first big trip out of the country to work in Japan as a full-time model. What inspires you most when creating content for your Instagram? My intention behind my social media has changed a lot over the past few years. I love creating memories as opposed to the “perfect” shot. That’s why I love film because you don’t get a do-over. It is what it is. What would you say your personal philosophy is in regards to social media? It isn’t your real life, and your self worth shouldn’t depend on the likes or comments nor should it replace real human connection in your life. I say this not just for the reader, but for myself as well. I try to be mindful of my judgments every day, and I’ve seen a vast improvement in my mental health because of it. How would you describe yourself in 3 adjectives? Intuitive, honest, and slightly dorky. Most used emoji? The red heart. Favorite book that you enjoyed recently? Team Human- Douglas Rushkoff What is the best thing that happened this year? New people came into my life this year that I’m so grateful for. What is the craziest rumor you’ve ever heard about yourself? I try not to read up on rumors. My godmother once said to me “people’s opinions about you are none of your business.” I stick by that. Favorite place to travel to? I love me a Mediterranean summer. I would love to go back to Italy...Maybe Capri or the Amalfi coast. What are 3 things on your bucket list? Buying my family a house, filling up my current passport, and writing my first book. Favorite song lyrics? “If you talk enough sense then you’ll lose your mind.” What song would you probably be caught dancing alone to? Female Energy- Willow Smith

Fashion icon? I don’t really have one if I’m being honest. If something feels good, I wear it. Simple. Current binge watch. Russell brand youtube videos, or anything on Gaia.com Best way to decompress? Meditating, reading, writing, or yoga. How do you describe your personal style? Streetwear with a touch of femininity. What's something you don't go a day without wearing? Sunscreen. Most proud moment? Any moment I shared with my mother. How do you start your day? I have a morning routine that I try my best to stick to... In no particular order, I write, read, listen to a podcast, meditate, go for a run or do yoga, make breakfast, and respond to emails.

Upcoming projects you can tell us about? Acting, acting, and more acting. It’s testing me, but I love a challenge and I’m ready for this new path. What was your favorite part of your Cover photoshoot? Take a guess...The snake. Why do you love Modeliste magazine? I appreciate how collaborative Modeliste is. I was able to bring forth my ideas for the shoot to be apart of the inspiration and creative design.

3 ultimate beauty must-haves. Sunscreen, lip balm, and gratitude. Favorite fashion trend you’re wearing this season? I’m so bad at keeping up with trends, but I love my sneaker collection.

What's the wildest thing you've ever done in Favorite fashion trend your life? you’re wearing this season? My entire life has I’m so bad at been a wild ride, keeping up with and I don’t think trends, but I love my I could compare sneaker experiences on the collection. mere fact that every moment is unique and wild in its own way. Best beauty advice you have ever received. Beauty starts on the inside.

If you could make a documentary, what would it be about? Anything that speaks truth. Whether it be about our school system, nutrition, raising our future generations, the environment, social media and how it monitors our behaviors...The list goes on. I want to shed awareness where I can.

IS LE G B of s N Asign al! I Tthe ption G I A Vwing is o E o ing h S IN ag

These days, there are a number of procedures that can restore a more youthful appearance without the need to cut and stich. These state-ofthe-art non-surgical procedures are performed on an outpatient basis in the physician’s office, without the need of general anesthesia, and have zero to minimal down time. Technology has improved tremendously allowing for minimally invasive cosmetic procedures that deliver quicker, sometimes immediate results and the risk of serious complications has tremendously decreased.

REJUVENATION QUICKIES

A lunch break facial rejuvenation can be easily achieved by combining dermal fillers and Botulinum toxin A injections for a more youthful and renewed YOU. Dermal fillers (such as Restylane Silk®, Restylane-L®, and Restylane Lyft®) are a quick way to get almost instant improvement on deep facial wrinkles, skin folds, add volume and fullness to the skin. Botulinum toxin A injection therapy is one of the quickest, most popular treatments for preventing lines from forming and making those you already have less visible. Dysport® (pronounced DIS-port) is a form of botulinum toxin A. In most cases, it takes effect quicker and lasts longer than other popular brands of muscle relaxers. From frown lines, forehead wrinkles, to crow's feet, it can give you a refreshed look. Jowls or a double chin can be easily improved by using a combination of injections to destroy fatty pockets and radio-frequency heat to lift and tighten. Injections such as Kybella are placed directly into the submental fat pocket to rapidly destroy fat cells. Forma fractional thermal contraction treatments are excellent for giving your skin a tighter and lifted appearance by stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity.

Threads can also be used for a tummy and butt lift. Definitely not the same threads used by your seamstress to hem up your pants!

SCULPT AND FIRM UP Skin tightening, body contouring and cellulite treatments that utilize radiofrequency have minimal down time and can be performed in combination or as individual treatments. Dr. Schweitzer utilizes both Plus™ and Body FX™ to contour, lift skin, and improve dimpled cellulite skin. Body FX™ utilizes radio-frequency energy, deep tissue heating, and suction coupled negative pressure to reduce the unsightly appearance of cellulite leading to improvements in your body contour. BodyFX™ also attacks fat cells, killing them through a process called apoptosis. The Plus™ uses fractionated radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production leading to an uplifted, firmer and smoother contour of the body.

stem cell response which help in growing new collagen, repairing damaged skin, and to help slow and reverse the signs of aging. Within a few weeks of treatment, an overall improvement in skin hydration, texture and tone can be seen. Reduction of fine lines, wrinkles and volume correction can also happen over the next three to six months. The effects of PRP can last 12 months to two years, depending on the individual. Popular treatment areas include saggy and wrinkled lower eyelids; wrinkled, puckered and aging skin surrounding the mouth, and the drooping neck. PRP can be directly injected into the areas of deficit or it can be combined with micro-needling to increase the benefits of micro-needling.

NON-SURGICAL THREAD LIFTING

Thread lifting is a quick and safe procedure that “utilizes a specialized polydioxanone (PDO) suture to lift droopy, loose and saggy skin. The suture has tiny barb like edges that attach to the undersurface of the skin or the underlying fat. The sutures are gently adjusted to lift and move the skin” Dr. Schweitzer explains. Patients are comfortably numbed with injection of local anesthesia into the skin during the treatment. These specialized threads are made of suture material which has been around for many years. Dr. Schweitzer tells us that “polydioxanone (PDO) threads have tiny barb like structures which hook onto the skin to provide support and lift sagging skin. Over a few weeks the threads trigger fibroblasts to induce collagen production around the threads and keep the lifted look. The threads are eventually broken down by the body but the collagen persists for several additional months. Common thread lift areas are falling eyebrows, skin on the cheeks that drop forward toward the upper lip, the lower face descending toward the chin, the jowls and drooping of the neck.

YOUR PERSONAL FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

Mother nature brings us the aging process but she also has given us the gift of regeneration in our own Platelet Rich Plasma. To turn back the clock, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is obtained from your own blood. PRP contains a high concentration of growth factors and active proteins for tissue renewal by stimulating

Most proud moment? My proudest moment would have to be when I went on a 41 city tour with my sister. I got to perform a duet with her and it was such an unreal feeling performing in front of thousands of people (especially the very first time). I wasn’t nervous at all, and went out on stage like I’ve done it a hundred times before. I was seventeen then, I’m not sure I would have the same confidence today. What is your morning beauty routine? I wash my face with a gel cleanser, and then use a cotton pad with an apple cider vinegar toner (it’s a mixture that I make myself at home). Then I use a tinted moisturizer that’s also has a SPF of 40, and some lip balm. I don’t wear makeup during the day, unless I’m shooting. I then make a healthy green shake in the morning, have some overnight oats that Imade the night before and I’m out the door to take some kind of workout class. 3 ultimate beauty must-haves Mascara, lip balm and blotting sheets, (I have oily skin and those blotting sheets are life savers). Best beauty advice you have ever received. My mom gave me the best beauty advice when she told me less is more. It’s so true! I’ve learned that I don’t need as much foundation, so now I just use a damp beauty blender and put on very little. I’m also using more natural tones in lipstick. Favorite fashion trend you’re wearing this season? I’m really into the barely there sandals look and I’ve been loving the neon trend for Summer. I also love slip dresses. What did you love most about the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa? Everything about the resort was so cool, especially that it was oceanfront. I loved that it was filled with animals such as, African penguins, swans, ducks, flamingos, and parrots! The swimming pool was huge and had the best water slide ever, I must’ve gone on at least 10 times. Also, I loved how at the end of the day, there was a different surprise dessert waiting for me. It was a dream vacation. What was your favorite part about our Maui Getaway? My favorite part was just getting to be in such a beautiful location shooting for Modeliste magazine and meeting new people in our travel group. Our amazing activities included a really amazing helicopter ride overlooking the island, an authentic Luau with hula dancers and drumming, All in all, the locale was beautiful, but the people I was with, made it a memorable vacation. 62 AUGUST 2019 | MODELISTE

Your

PISCES

It's a positive time to be productive on a creative project. You are drawn to new experiences and ideas, and they contribute to your growth. You have a twinkle in your eye this month. You could make a new friend, have an opportunity come up for a friend or for you through a friend, join a new group, take up a new cause, realize a dream, or be in front of a group. Your hobbies can be out of the ordinary, and so can your relationships with children and lovers, depending on how this cycle is affecting you.

HOROSCOPE VIRGO

You may want to get some recognition for your work, and may have many communications regarding your career and where you’re going in your life. You may be strapped down with too much work/ responsibilities to have time for fun, or just dwell too much on the more serious side of life that you don’t want to have fun. You may feel less happy with your friendships, with the groups you belong to, and with your dreams for your future. It’s not total pessimism, but rather a subtle dissatisfaction lurking underneath.

LIBRA

Your mind is more active, you have more communications, you want to learn something new, and you’re more curious and sociable. The month is bound to bring pleasure, bounty, and expansion on the domestic scene. Subtle yet deep changes within you affect your relationships to others, as well as the manner in which you present yourself. Friendships are encouraging and motivating, as are group associations, where you are especially influential and charming. Others are especially attracted to your upbeat attitude and willingness to be a team player.

SCORPIO

This period brings you success in all comings and goings. Some form of pleasant culmination in your professional life brings rewards and recognition. You are becoming more selective about how you spend your time and with whom you spend your time. You may feel more comfortable conversing with people in intimate settings and oneon-one, rather than with many people or in a group. You may want to talk about your close relationships, and have it out with a partner. Casual love affairs that have grown stale may be left behind now.

SAGITTARIUS

You could be digging up interesting information now, and research of all kinds can be very beneficial. It’s a time of more spontaneous expression. Your own originality and uniqueness is bound to come shining through. You are slightly more outspoken, daring, and progressive than usual now. You can be more effective and active this month, and most of the time you gain the approval and support of others.Events that occur this month tend to show you a different side of yourself, and could attract new people into your life.
