This issue dedicated to extraordinary friends of art, philantrophy and cinema. The American artist Jessica Jung on the cover-page of our Cannes Issue is wearing stunning haute couture gown by Maison Rami Kadi. Mr Rami helped us to make this cover page possible and especially thanks to the responsible fashion photographer, the talented Patrick Sawaya. Mr Patrick's series with Jessica Jung's red carpet appearence during the Opening Night of the Cannes Film Festival, (sponsored by Swiss Maison Chopard) epitomize the spirit of this extraordinary event. At Côte d'Azur where major international brands bring an certain air of exclusivity and even a great amount of good-will, I really hope that this will also come trough in the following pages, with our stories and focus on the ethical projects such as Natalia Vodianova's new philantrophy project "Charity Closets"; and open and personal interview with Shalini Passi the Founder of the Shalini Passi Art Foundation.
The Cannes issue gathers top news from the sustainable luxury industry and we as World's first magazine dedicated to sustainable luxury and art, seek to continue our collaborations with brands that share our values for sustainability, transparency and ethics, and all who demand high ethical standards and approach in their work. In addition, I have selected my personal top novelties from the high jewellery brands and Cannes Film Festival redcarpet. I wish to invite you to discover our selection of artists trending now and new collaborations unveiled in the early 2019, until the next time .

For her red carpet at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival the American singer, actress and fashion designer opted for Rami Kadi Haute Couture. A look from early festival days that lasts, not only setting trend for the red carpet in south France but will stay in our memory forever thanks to beautiful photographs by the talented fashion photographer Patrick Sawaya at the Hôtel Martinez's Chopard Suite.

MM: You are actively involved at prominent art and design events, across the globe, but how did you embrace world of art initially? Shalini: "I Think that I have always had a sense of aesthetic appreciation; I used to paint when I was in school and while in college, and through this practice I learnt to think of artworks in terms of colour, form, and texture." MM: You just attended charity event organized by Maison Christian Dior and Tiepolo Ball di Venezia what is it that fascinates you about Venice and Italy, and can you draw any parallels to India?
Shalini Passi the Founder and Director of the Shalini Passi Art Foundation Shalini Passi is recently joined by Dr. Arshiya Lokhandwala as curator of her Foundation. In this interview Shalini shares her dedications with the art foundation and online arts platform MASH.
S
halini Passi is the Founder and Director of the Shalini Passi Art Foundation, (SPAF) and of MASH (My Art Shalini) - the online arts platform that collapses the hierarchical distinctions between
architecture, art, craft, design, and fashion, by eliciting a rich discourse around creativity in modernity. Shalini - an established art collector and artist, who sits on the Advisory Board of Khoj since 2012 - is a Patron of FICA
as well as an important Patron of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale. Shalini Passi Art Foundation. is conceived as a unique initiative established to support, educate, and encourage innovative work in the arts; it will engage with art, crafts, design, and architecture - attempting to break the hierarchies that exist between them, and enable conversations and collaborations to take place. Now with Dr. A. Lokhandwala as Foundation's curator.
Shalini: "Italy and India have much in common: we both possess a vibrant culture and we both celebrate our rich heritage - specifically, the traditions that continue to inform and influence contemporary arts practices today. I am fascinated by the diversity of Italy's regional arts traditions, from glassblowing in Murano, to painting in Siena, architecture in Rome, and now fashion in Milan; this very much reminds me of India. Here, we greatly value the legacy of craftspeople from Rajasthan, Gujarat, Varanasi - to name just a few. It's so important to celebrate these distinct forms of cultural expression, and to find ways to keep them alive. India and Italy also share a great history of arts patronage and giving. While the recent recreation of the infamous Tiepolo Ball (known informally as the "party of the century") was a glamourous and opulent event, more importantly, it in was held in aid of an extremely important cause - the restoration of Venice’s architecture and cultural heritage."
MORALMODA MAGAZINE Foundation art story
MM: Collaborating as speaker at recently held India Art Fair 2019 and moderator of panel discussion at India Design ID 2019, what were the highlights from these fairs?Collaborating as speaker at recently held India Art Fair 2019 and moderator of panel discussion at India Design ID 2019, what were the highlights from these fairs? Shalini: "For me, the highlight of this year's edition of India Art Fair was the introduction of the new performance art programme, which featured the artists Mithu Sen, Amol Patih, Sajan Mani, Sahej Rahal, and Yasmin Jahan Nupur. India Art Fair occupies an interesting space within the arts ecosystem in India as it hosts a broad range of visitors, many of whom may not visit traditional art spaces, such as museums, galleries and biennales; the fair therefore has a unique challenge - and opportunity - to present artists whose works are conceptually experimental and challenging, yet grounded in socio-cultural themes and topics that can be relevant to all of its visitors. Â This is one of the reasons I love performance art: it can exist outside these traditional spaces, and therefore makes art much more accessible. Earlier this year my foundation hosted an absurdist performance piece by Mithu Sen (which explored the theme "radical hospitality"), and an operatic performance (the first of its kind in India) by Meera George. It was a pleasure to work with talented and daring artists to create new experiential work for new audiences."
"Could it [art] change the course of the future? Could it propagate socially useful messages? I think that's a really interesting and exciting idea." MM: The latest edition of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, which you contributed to in collaboration with the Kochi Biennale Foundation, was intensively covered in the media as the most socially significant yet. You also stated that the “Biennale is a good opportunity to share ideas and what we can do to give platform to more artists". Do you find that such curatorial visions are increasingly prioritized today? Shalini: "Yes, I stand by that; biennales should be used as a platform to share ideas. In Ralph Rugoff's curation of 58th Venice Biennale, May You Live in Interesting Times, he only allowed the work of living artists to be exhibited - emphasising the importance of showcasing art that reacts to the times we are living in. These are complex times, with increasing political polarity and new forms and uses of media and technology; what Rugoff is doing through his curation of the biennale is experimenting with what it could mean for art to be an active part of society. Could it change the course of the future? Could it propagate socially useful messages? I think that's a really interesting and exciting idea."
MORALMODA MAGAZINE
MM: What inspired you to establish the Shalini Passi Art Foundation, being a long-term patron and collector? Shalini: "Over time, through my years as a collector and a patron, I have learned more about specific styles and movements in art, and I feel my appreciation has developed from that of a private collector to a committed stakeholder within the unique and dynamic contemporary Indian arts landscape. I started the Shalini Passi Art Foundation to channel this energy into an initiative that I hope will play a significant role in developing and promoting a contemporary Indian aesthetic, by giving a platform to young emerging artists and creating opportunities for them to experiment and expand their practice." MM: Which are upcoming highlighted projects of Shalini Passi Art Foundation? Shalini: "The Foundation has an ongoing lecture program with eminent speakers from a range of artistic disciplines, and we are currently planning a large-scale survey show to open at the end of the year. As with this year, the Foundation is hoping to participate in India Art Fair and in India Design ID again in February 2020." MM: While Shalini Passi Art Foundation is dedicated to support emerging young artists, you have founded, MASH to hosts a monthly feature on selected artists and their work, how did you get inspired to highlight current artists at MASH? Shalini: "I set up MASH, my online arts platform, so that people can discover art, architecture, craft, design, and fashion from around the world - to give them greater exposure to different ways of thinking and styles of working, and hopefully spark new ideas! Through MASH we seek to promote artists who are pushing boundaries through experimental new work. Earlier this year we launched the MASH FICA Award for New Media Art, which recognises reflective, aesthetic and speculative projects at the intersection of art and technology. Amitesh Grover, the MASH FICA Awardee for 2019, plays with the boundaries between art, science, and capital in his project which looks at the intimate interaction between the body and technology in the age of institutional surveillance." MM: Which art periods or pieces are your favourite at the moment? Shalini: "I'm currently very interested in Art Nouveau: developed in the late 19th century, borne of a desire to create a new style that went beyond imitative historicism. This is very much aligned with my own artistic aspirations; I'm always seeking to discover and explore practices that break away from what has gone before. The style was influenced by the experiments with expressive line by the painters Paul Gauguin and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec,
but also partly inspired by the movement of the linear patterns of Japanese prints. Art Nouveau is about creating a fusion between structure and ornament; the organic line that characterised this style was employed across architecture, interior design, jewellery, glass design, posters, and illustration. This multidisciplinary approach to creativity -Â
MORALMODA MAGAZINE 20
- taking an idea and experimenting with it through different media - is still so relevant today, and something that I seek to promote through my online arts platform MASH."

MM: Do you experiment with art privately? Shalini: "Yes, I like to experiment with oils and acrylic with a palette knife on canvas. I also experiment with fashions and in the design of my home, through collecting furniture and design objects, as well a number of pieces that I have designed myself."

“India Art Fair occupies an interesting space within the arts ecosystem in India as it hosts a broad range of visitors, many of whom may not visit traditional art spaces, such as museums, galleries and biennales; the fair therefore has a unique challenge - and opportunity - to present artists whose works are conceptually experimental and challenging, yet grounded in socio-cultural themes and topics that can be relevant to all of its visitors.”
MM: As brands adopt bew Creative Directors (or even new logos and other visual markers) to be more appealing to the Millennials, do not they risk on the other hand delluting of the brand’s heritage and appeal to the already established consumers?

Alessandro: "Nowadays a lot of brands feel lost. Some of them, despite probably 100 years of heritage, decide they have to destroy everything in order to evolve. The problem relies on the fact that above all Italian companies are family run and when you involve all your relatives in your company thinking that this a good thing, you risk to have the opposite effect as no evolution is possible without a good level of experienced managers who come from diverse sectors. It takes a lot of courage and bright brain to face the new challenges."
“For over 20 years I managed several luxury companies and then started to be an entrepreneur. It has been quite a shock at the beginning (despite it was my decision) as 5 years ago the industry was not ready for external operative advisors. But I was actually very farsighted as soon a huge earthquake started.”
Focused on India, SPAF aims to highlight the rich cultural traditions and unique sensibility that informs the nation's history, and it endeavors to promote these arts across India and the world. The Foundation seeks to achieve this through a program of innovative exhibitions, curatorial walkthroughs, and lectures by eminent scholars, in addition to educating underprivileged children about the arts, supporting other foundations and events in the arts, and actively supporting the development of a contemporary Indian aesthetic. Her blog MASH, (My Art Shalini) shares content on current and upcoming events in art, fashion, and architecture from around the world. MASH includes articles, artist interviews, and an artist of the month feature designed to encourage emerging talent in the arts.

A number of six-figure supercars, as well as superboats, watches and bespoke jewellery, were sold during last week’s Monaco supercar show – the premier to be held under the leadership of new CEO Salim Zeghdar. “A lot of sales were made, and I am very happy,” he said, adding: “The majority of exhibitors made sales including Devinci, the manufacturer of the beautiful retro-looking electric cars, which sold six models, as well as Brabus, and Tesla. Luxury Water Toys had success. A King-boat was sold. Our partner Rebellion sold some watches. And Zacaria had two significant propositions for his supercar, the first street-legal Formula 1 vehicle.”

Discerned guests, arriving from across the globe, were customized by two Venetian houses-Rubelli and Bevilacua-reviving the legendary lavish Tiepolo Ball, which became known as the “Party of the Century”, it was held in the same frescoed ballroom of Venice’s Palazzo Labia, (famed for its beautiful frescoes of Giambattista Tiepolo), Dior's opulent soiree, arranged by Maria Grazia Chiuri - so perfectly Italian, will not only help to preserve Venice's historic landmarks, but as the international jet-set arrived in boats on the city’s famous canals, the ball evoked key themes of this year's Venice Biennale too, namely the issues of open-borders and immigration.
