EDITOR'S LETTER Her Majesty The Queen (1926 - 2022) Message From Our London Team We are deeply saddened to hear the news that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has passed away whose reign will be marked in history as one of empathy, strength, and grace. ⁠ Our thoughts are very much with the Royal Family and their loved ones. The Queen has been an inspirational figurehead throughout the years of her reign. ⁠ Her effortless style, charm, and sense of fun were evident and her passion for supporting young creatives will continue to inspire the next generation God bless you, Ma'am. Rest in peace, and rise in glory. Thank you for a lifetime of service to our country. ⁠ God Save The King.

We will be closed on the day of the State Funeral and the Coronation @ Royal Communications / The Royal Family

BEHIND THE COVER SWANKY KIDS MAGAZINE INTERVIEWS FLOWERS AND RUFFLES What's the story/concept behind the cover?

THIS COVER IS AN IDEAL REPRESENTATION OF THE FLOWERSANDRUFFLES BRAND. WE WANTED TO REFLECT THAT WE HAVE MOVED AWAY FROM THE TRADITIONAL PERCEPTION OF SEASONAL COLORS IN CHILDREN'S CLOTHING AND EMPHASIZE THE ELEGANCE AND STYLE OF TIMELESS EVENING WEAR FOR CHILDREN. THE IDEA WAS TO SHOW HOW ROYAL AND SOPHISTICATED CHILDREN'S CLOTHING COULD BE. THE CONCEPT BEHIND THE BRAND IS TO HAND-MAKE LUXURIOUS CHILDREN'S OUTFITS FROM THE BEST FABRIC FROM ITALY AND FRANCE, FOLLOWING THE WORLD'S HAUTE COUTURE STANDARDS.

How did you all come together as a team?

THE MEMBERS OF OUR TEAM FOR THIS COVER INCLUDE ANASTASIA BAUMEL – THE FOUNDER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF FLOWER AND RUFFLES BRAND, OLGA ASOTSKAYA – PHOTOGRAPHER, AND TATYANA DENCH – MAKEUP ARTIST. THIS COVER WAS SHOOT IN ONE OF THE PHOTO STUDIOS IN ORANGE COUNTY, CA. FLOWERSANDRUFFLES TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE SAME PHOTOGRAPHER OLGA ASOTSKAYA FOR MANY YEARS, AND BY NOW THEY UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER WITHOUT WORDS. OLGA IS AN EXTREMELY TALENTED AND CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHER WHO WORKED ALL OVER THE WORLD AND SHOOTS MANY BEAUTIFUL FAMILIES AND FASHION-STYLE PICTURES.

What Camera & Video equipment did you use?

THE FOLLOWING EQUIPMENT WAS USED FOR PHOTOGRAPHY: CAMERA CANON R, LENS CANON RF 50 1.8, 2 EINSTEIN™ FLASH UNITS SETTINGS: F/8. 1/200S ISO160 FOR VIDEO: CAMERA SONY A7SIII, SONY ZEISS 50 MM, 4K, 10 BIT.

Please can you describe the products, and garments you used and why?

WE TRIED TO PRESENT A VARIETY OF FLOWERS AND RUFFLES BRAND STYLES AND ALSO SHOW THE POSSIBILITY TO MIX AND MATCH DIFFERENT STYLES FROM OUR COLLECTION. WE BELIEVE THAT EVERY ELEGANT DRESS HAS TO BE VERY COMFORTABLE IN THE FIRST PLACE, AS WELL AS IT SHOULD MATCH THE MODEL'S PERSONALITY. THE ORGANIC COTTON LINING WAS USED FOR ALL GARMENTS IN OUR COLLECTIONS. FLOWERS AND RUFFLES PERFECTLY FITTED AND COMFORTABLE DRESS IS THE DRESS THAT EVERY REAL PRINCESS SHOULD HAVE.

What's next as a team? Do you have any more exciting projects lined up?

RECENTLY, THE FLOWERS AND RUFFLES BRAND LAUNCHED A FASHION SCHOOL, FR MODELS LAB, WHERE PARTICIPANTS COULD TRY THEMSELVES AT MODELING AND PARTICIPATE IN A REAL FASHION SHOW AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM. IN FACT, OUR BRAND HAS NEVER WORKED IN THE PAST WITH ANY PROFESSIONAL MODELS, WE HAVE ALWAYS PREFERRED TO WORK WITH MODELS WITHOUT ANY SPECIFIC PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE IN MODELING. ALSO, WE HAVE A NEW EXCITING PROJECT COMING UP WHERE WE ARE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH KIDS AGED FROM 1 TO 3 YEARS OLD. WE HAVE NEVER WORKED WITH LITTLE MODELS OF THAT AGE BEFORE AND IT IS GOING TO BE VERY SPECIAL FOR OUR HEART PROJECT. STAY TUNED!

SWANKY KIDS MAGAZINE INTERVIEWS THE WONDERFUL BELLA SONG OF DALLAS, TEXAS

MODEL SPOTLIGHT VOL XXII Swanky Kids Magazine would like to welcome Scarlett Bella to our readers A Walk On The Wild Side with Teen Social Media Influencer Scarlett Bella Song SWANKY MAG: HELLO SCARLETT, CAN YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO SWANKY KIDS MAGAZINE'S READERS? HELLO SWK READERS! MY NAME IS SCARLETT BELLA SONG AND I’M A 14 YEAR OLD MIXED ETHNIC (HALF KOREAN AND HALF CAUCASIAN) PROFESSIONAL DANCER, PUBLISHED PRINT AND RUNWAY MODEL, JEWELLERY-DESIGNER, ENTREPRENEUR, PHILANTHROPIST, AND TEEN MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCATE. I’VE WALKED IN FASHION SHOWS (INCLUDING SHOWS AT NY FASHION WEEK AND AUSTIN FASHION WEEK), BEEN FEATURED ON SEVERAL FASHION MAGAZINES COVERS, AND DANCED FOR MUSIC ARTISTS. AS A JEWELLERY DESIGNER AND ENTREPRENEUR, I LAUNCHED A JEWELLERY LINE EARLIER THIS YEAR CALLED ANNIE X SCARLETT IN COLLABORATION WITH THE BRAND ANNIE & SISTERS. THE 15-PIECE COLLECTION HAS AN INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE AND HAS BEEN CRAFTED BY A TEEN FOR TEENS. THE COLLECTION IS CURRENTLY EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE AT THE ONLINE BOUTIQUE OF ANNIE & SISTERS AND WILL SOON BE AVAILABLE AT ADDITIONAL ONLINE RETAILERS AND BRICK-AND-MORTAR BOUTIQUES.  S A DANCER, I’VE DANCED IN VIDEOS FOR MUSIC ARTISTS, A PERFORMED WITH PROFESSIONAL NFL CHEERLEADERS, AND PARTICIPATED IN A FLASH MOB IN ICONIC GRAND CENTRAL STATION. I ALSO HEADLINED FESTIVALS AND STARRED IN CONCEPT VIDEOS. THIS SUMMER, I WAS A FEATURED ARTIST IN THE KIDS ROCK FOR KIDS - GLOBAL TEEN ROCK MUSIC FESTIVAL. I WAS HALF OF A DUO THAT WAS THE ONLY DANCE ACT AMONG A LINEUP OF INTERNATIONAL BANDS PERFORMING AT A THREE-DAY TEEN ROCK MUSIC FESTIVAL TO RAISE MONEY FOR KIDS IN CRISIS IN THE US AND UKRAINE. FOR THIS “COME TOGETHER” FESTIVAL, PERFORMED IN TWO INDOOR NYC VENUES (ROULETTE AND THE BELL HOUSE) FOR SOLD-OUT SHOWS ALONG WITH MUSICIANS FROM SPAIN, THE UK, BRAZIL, COLOMBIA, CANADA, INDONESIA, AUSTRALIA, AND ACROSS THE U.S.. (THIS FESTIVAL GARNERED ATTENTION FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES, NBC NEWS, FOX NEWS, NEW YORK 1, ETC. AND HAS RAISED FUNDS TO HELP CHILDREN DOMESTICALLY AND ABROAD).

I’VE BEEN ON A PHILANTHROPIC MISSION SINCE A YOUNG AGE. WHEN I WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD, I COMMENCED A PARTNERED WITH THE WASHINGTON COMMANDERS CHARITABLE FOUNDATION. OVER TIME, I PERFORMED IN A SERIES OF SHOWS WITH THEIR NFL CHEERLEADERS TO RAISE MONEY IN SUPPORT OF CHILDREN'S HEALTH, WELLNESS AND EDUCATION. I AM NOW CONTINUING THIS PHILANTHROPIC MISSION WITH KRFK. EARLIER THIS YEAR, I WON AN INSPIRING TEEN $1,000 SCHOLARSHIP IN RECOGNITION OF MY FUNDRAISING-RAISING EFFORTS.

SWANKY KIDS MAGAZINE INTERVIEWS THE WONDERFUL BELLA SONG OF DALLAS, TEXAS

MODEL SPOTLIGHT VOL XXII HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED WITH MODELLING, WHERE ARE YOU BASED NOW, AND WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT BEING A MODEL? I FIRST STARTED MODELLING WHEN I WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD. I TRAINED IN NYC WITH INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS IN PRINT AND RUNWAY BEFORE SIGNING WITH AN AGENCY. WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT MODELLING IS THE FASHION! I AM OBSESSED WITH FASHION AND APPRECIATE A WIDE VARIETY OF AESTHETICS. IT IS ALWAYS A PLEASURE AND PRIVILEGE TO REPRESENT DESIGNERS AND THEIR MASTERPIECES. WHAT FUELS YOUR IMAGINATION AND PROVIDES YOU WITH INSPIRATION? MY GREATEST SOURCE OF INSPIRATION IS INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL. I’VE VISITED 16 COUNTRIES SO FAR AND I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO EXPLORE THE WORLD. EACH CULTURE HAS ENRICHED MY IMAGINATION AND BROADENED MY PERSPECTIVE, SO I ALWAYS HAVE A TOUCHSTONE TO JUMPSTART MY CREATIVITY.

LET US INTO A SECRET, WHAT IS A BEAUTY TRICK YOU DO BEFORE A PHOTOSHOOT? HYDRATE! I AM A DANCER, VARSITY CHEERLEADER, AND ATHLETE, SO I AM ALWAYS DEPLETED OF HYDRATION. THIS SHOWS IN MY PHOTOS! SO, I MAKE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO HYDRATE AND MOISTURISE BEFORE ALL PHOTOSHOOTS. ARE YOU SIGNED TO A MODELING AGENCY IF SO WHO? IF NOT, ARE YOU LOOKING TO BE AGENCY REPRESENTED? I AM CURRENTLY REPRESENTED BY A LOCAL AGENCY AND WOULD BE EXCITED TO BE REPRESENTED INTERNATIONALLY. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST JOB AS A MODEL? AND WHAT DID YOU TAKE AWAY FROM IT? MY FIRST JOB AS A MODEL WAS FOR A KID'S RETAILER. I WAS TOO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE RUNWAY AND PRINT WORK WASN’T JUST FOR FUN. I HAD NO IDEA THAT I WAS “WORKING” BECAUSE IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. TO THIS DAY, I TRY TO KEEP THAT SAME APPRECIATIVE MINDSET WHENEVER I AM ON SET OR ON A RUNWAY.

SWANKY KIDS MAGAZINE INTERVIEWS THE WONDERFUL BELLA SONG OF DALLAS, TEXAS

MODEL SPOTLIGHT VOL XXII SO LOOKING BACK OVER YOUR MODELLING EXPERIENCE, HAS IT CHANGED YOUR PERSONAL/PROFESSIONAL LIFE? DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE GROWN IN CONFIDENCE SINCE YOU STARTED? MODELLING HAS BEEN WEAVED INTO MY LIFE SO SEAMLESSLY THAT IT JUST SEEMS NATURAL. MY ABILITIES CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND GROW WITH EACH NEW OPPORTUNITY AND MY CONFIDENCE GROWS WITH EACH SUCCESS. IS THERE ANYONE IN THE INDUSTRY THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH? I HAVE COUNTLESS PHOTOGRAPHERS, DESIGNERS, BRANDS, HMU AND STYLISTS THAT I WOULD LOVE TO WORK WITH. I LEARN SOMETHING FROM EVERYONE AND NO TWO EXPERIENCES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. IN MODELLING (AS IN ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE), THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM TO GROW! IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING IN THE MODELLING WORLD WHAT WOULD IT BE? AND WHY? IF I COULD CHANGE ONE THING, IT WOULD BE THE COMPETITIVE VIBES IN CERTAIN WORK ENVIRONMENTS. I FEEL THERE IS ROOM FOR ALL OF US. WE CAN GROW THE INDUSTRY AND CREATE MORE OPPORTUNITIES TOGETHER INSTEAD OF COMPETING AND CREATING UNHEALTHY SITUATIONS. WHAT ACHIEVEMENTS HAVE YOU ACCOMPLISHED SO FAR THAT YOU ARE SUPER PROUD OF TO DATE? I AM SUPER PROUD OF LEAVING MY COMFORT ZONE AND BRANCHING OUT TO TACKLE NEW CHALLENGES. I AM IN MY COMFORT ZONE WITH MODELLING, DANCING AND ACTING, BUT I RECENTLY STEPPED OUT OF MY ELEMENT TO BECOME A SINGERSONGWRITER AND JOINED A BAND. WHAT PROJECTS ARE YOU WORKING ON NEXT, AND WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS FOR THE FUTURE? I AM WORKING WITH MY BAND TO RELEASE OUR FIRST SINGLE THIS FALL. IT IS ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC (EDM) TEEN ANGST ANTHEM. HAVE YOU ANY OTHER EXCLUSIVES OR INFORMATION YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US? I’M EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT I RECENTLY JOINED DOT CONNOR: WEBTECTIVE AS A SERIES REGULAR. WE JUST WRAPPED SEASON ONE AND ARE EXCITED FOR SEASON TWO. FOLLOW SCARLETTS JOURNEY HERE: IG: @SCARLETTBELLASONG TIKTOK: @SCARLETTBELLASONG YOUTUBE: @SCARLETTBELLASONG TWITTER: @SCARLETTBSONG
