At Fashion Central Multi Brand Store 20-A, block C-3, Fortune Mall,

Hussain Chowk, MM Alam Road, Lahore.

Komal Nasir has become known for her creative designs in a very short

bers of the print and electronic media.

Komal believes that the beauty of an outfit comes alive if it is worn as a

whole. This concept is apparent in her products and during the exhibi-

tion the combination of Shawl scarf, Dupatta, Shirt and Shalwar were all

classy. The colors she used were bright and bold and her work showed

an innate fondness for intricate embellished embroidery. The Resham,

Marrori, Sequins and Gota work were unmistakably rich.

VICTORIA’S SECRETFASHION SHOWRUNWAY

The models put on another show-stopping performance as they

graced the catwalk at Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show for the lingerie

giant's annual extravaganza. Forbes has estimated that the 47 models

hitting the catwalk that night belong to a category that made more

than $50 million in combined paychecks in 2015.

The 2015 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show saw the world’s most beautiful

models take to the runway in New York in a blaze of bright colours, racy

outfits, elaborate wings and other fabulous props.

Behati Prinsloo, Adam Levine’s other half, opened the show dressed in

a pair of dazzling wings, while VS veteran Alessandra Ambrosio

followed close behind in an equally show-stopping outfit.

Kendall Jenner was a total natural as she made her show debut. With

her never ending legs on display as well as her trim tummy in a variety

lace lingerie looks, the reality star looked simply stunning.

South African beauty Candice Swanepoel also dazzled in a colourful

embellished bikini set and giant multicoloured wings. While Candice's

fellow veteran Angel Lily Aldridge, who was chosen to wear the $2 mil-

lion Fantasy Bra this year, sent temperatures soaring in an equally

skimpy bright red two piece.

Ellie Goulding, who replaced Rihanna at the last minute, with the Week-

end and Selena Gomez all took to the stage to sing as the models sash-

ayed past them.

Olive oil is regarded as the natural beauty product. Usage of olive oil has

striking benefits for the skin and hair. Today we will be discussing the usage

of olive oil in context to the face. What might interest people is that olive oil’s

utilization is a result towards the anti-aging. It is natural wholesome product

on its own. Olive oil is loaded with anti-oxidants that help the revitalization

of the skin. Olive oil is rich in vitamin E which is really good for the skin.

When applied on the face, olive oil protects the skin from UV rays. It pre-

vents away the free radicals that damage the skin of the face. It is all natural

all organic that helps your face skin more efficiently than the artificially cre-

ated beauty products.

OLIVE OIL,THE WONDROUS NATURALBEAUTY PRODUCT FOR FACE

1. Certified Organic Extra Virgin OilThis olive oil contains lots of quantity of

Antioxidants, Vitamins and nutrients. It is

obtained through pressing and this proce-

dure prevents the loss of effective

ary pressing which ensures a significant

amount of nutrients and antioxidants.

3. Pure Olive OilThis olive oil is obtained through extrac-

tion by using processing methods. The

processing could be either heat or chemi-

cal oriented.

4. Extra Light Olive OilThis olive oil is a product of a lot of pro-

cessing and the result is that vitamins and

nutrients are adversely affected.

So consider the usage of olive oil on face let’s consider the types of olive oil available in

the market that can be used for your face’s skin. Not all of the olive oil available is the

same. It is a mix and match of the pocket and surely the awareness to decide which

want you to still hang on to the extra virgin olive oil for your face.

Now that you have chosen the type of olive oil you want to apply on your face. Let’s have a look

on how to apply to apply the olive oil on your face.

so that this magical product of

organic beauty can penetrate

your skin. This also helps in you

massaging your skin and striking

off the impurities and dead off

your face.

2. Now you can warm up

a semi moist towel (make

only recommended for

your face). This will further

open up the pores allow-

ing removing the impuri-

ties deep down. Let this

procedure carry to a

10-15 minutes time and

let this towel sit on your

skin. If the towels become

cold change them with

new hot ones.

3. Now, these wash cloths

/ towels are used for

removing the excess of

the oil on your skin.

This here is one way of

removing impurities from

the face by using olive oil.

Through the Cleansing

technique.

You can use Olive oil for face by other mediums as well. We further recommend you to

apply olive oil in a moderate quantity before you go to sleep. This olive oil will act as a

night cream.

Another way of using olive oil is to add it in your daily home-made beauty products. You

can make olive oil face masks by collaborating it with other organic products,according

to your skin type.

Olive oil can also be used as an eye cream for the face. It prevents from the wrinkles on

that area.

At last the bad hair spell bound of the autumn has surpassed and winter

welcomes better hair. Winter is a season for prevention. Prevention against

colds and what people state is ‘blues’. Well there are certainly blues for the

hair as well. Yes, folks today’s agenda is the hair care during winters. The

bathing routine in winters requires the consumption of hot water. This hot

water on one side provides the body with relaxations yet it damages our

hair brutally. The usage of hot water baths squint and quench away the

moisture out of the hair, leaving them dry and extremely fizzy.

These fizz later results into extensive tangles that disturb the momentum of

the hair beauty! Not only this, hot water baths are the main source of dan-

druff during the winters. So let’s call this season a challenge for the hair to

be maintained. Well, we are ready to take this challenge and today are going

to present on tips for haircare during the winters for those long hairs of

yours. People with shot care can also benefit from the tips. After all, hair is

hair! So ladies there you go:

HAIR CARE TIPS IN WINTER

Wash your hair with mild warm water. We recommend you to wash them

with cold water. This cold water washing

helps your hair to maintain the moisture

and not amaging it up to the level, like the

hot water does!

Another tip is the application of Aloe Vera juice on the scalp. This again

helps prevent the dry hair and dried scalp.

Thus working up against the dandruff.

You can maintain the moisture by

application of mayonnaise on your hair. It

contains essentials from egg and oils hence

giving it the nutrition it requires in the

winters.

Massage raw milk on your hair for 60

minutes. It shines the hair and keeps it

hydrated.

Use the hot oil treatment for your hair.

Especially treatment from the coconut oil

during winters.

Apply the mixture of Methi leaves, black pepper, a few drops of lemon juice

and salt. Mix them together and drink it to

enhance the growth of the hair during the

winters.

Brush the hair before going to bed. It

increases the blood circulation in the scalp

which helps in maintain the hair.

To prevent the split ends in winter apply olive oil and take steam over it. This

is to prevent the split ends and this the

maintenance of hair during winters.

Dry hair? Major problem?Let’s sort this problem off. Select a

suitable conditioner for that hair of

yours and use it regularly. This is to

cover the damage of the hot water

that has ben fizzing up your lately.

This prevents them from damage and thus makes them tips. We wish that strong

throughout the season. So there you go with the tips.mainating we wish you all the

best. Happy Maintaining!

To get rid of the dandruff problem, apply the paste of jigger, curd and Mela-nin mitti onto your scalp almost 60 minutes before shampooing. This decreases

the dandruff. So, these are the tips for the treatment of long strong hair during

winters.

Fashion & Trends

There is no doubt that Kylie Jenner may be one of the most fashion-

able teenagers out there. She may be the youngest of the Kar-

dashian family, but her wardrobe is more enviable than all of her

older sisters! If you are religiously scroll through her Instagram and

keep up with her Snapchat stories, there is no doubt that you would

want to copy her style. Or if you just want to infuse a little Kylie with

your otherwise bland closet, try these hacks ensuring you will dress

to impress, as well as mirror Jenner's fashionable outfits. You don't

even need to be a Kardashian to dress similarly, as the younger

sister of gorgeous and successful model Kendall Jenner mixes edgy

street style with chic elements in a way that feels totally accessible -

and affordable - to us normal citizens.

KYLIE JENNER'S STYLE HACKS TOREFRESH YOUR WARDROBE

When choosing a floral sarong or dress covered with flowers, that pattern is the focal point of the outfit. It can easily stand alone. Therefore, don't try to compete with it or overwhelm it with other busy prints. Instead, choose complementary acces-sories that enhance it.

Wear Black. Yes, it sounds

too simple. But it does work.

Kylie is often seen wearing

black, whether it is a casual

LA sighting, or a more glam-

orous gown for an awards

show, do not underestimate

the power of this seemingly

simple colour. It's flattering,

slimming, looks good with

everything, and incredibly

versatile. No wonder not only

Kylie, but her stylish older

sisters are frequently seen in

this hue too. Black outfits

work day and night, whatever

the occasion, so be sure to

collect timeless black pieces.

Ideas to start you off could

be a tailored blazer, a pea-

coat, a dress, jeans and even

a stylish blouse.

Lace-up Boots. Want to

update your tame black or

suede ankle boots? Follow

Kylie and try thigh-high lace

up boots. They may scare

you as they seem like a bit

too much, but they can

easily dress up a little black

dress or a crop top and

shorts combo. Be prepared

to be the centre of atten-

tion, as these boots are

attractive. Try wearing these

with a gown with a thigh-

high split to infuse Holly-

wood glamour with grunge.

Or opt for ankle-length lace

up boots with ripped skin-

nies and a white shirt. But if

they are good for Kylie

Jenner, then they are defi-

nitely good for you too!

Statement Pieces. If you follow Kylie on Instagram, then you probably understand. It could be

a gorgeous Hermes handbag or a Balmain sequinned blazer, but any statement item is guar-

anteed to make a boring look turn amazing. Going to a formal dinner but its too cold to wear

your strappy black dress? A sequinned or embroidered blazer thrown on top will instantly add

glamour and make you stand out. The same would look great paired with a simple office suit,

taking the look from day to night. Happy with your outfit but looks too grey and dull? A rose

gold or white and gold handbag or clutch will surely give the "fashion blogger" look, as well as

making others jealous of your new attractive arm candy. Even a leather jacket can be a great

investment, as it gives a "biker-chic" look to your getup. Plus, Kylie loves them.

Jeans. Another simple

tip, and one which you

might already have.

Whether it's short

shorts or shredded

skinnies, the Keeping

Up With The Kardashi-

ans beauty does wear

jeans a lot, and of

course, looks incredibly

great. Don't be afraid to

trade in your normal

denims for a ripped

pair. They suit most

people. You could even

buy a white pair, and

wear them with a nude

or black top and

pointed-toe heels,

which will earn a nod of

approval from Kylie

herself, as well as

showcasing a new,

clean and modern

update. As for shorts,

the pairs with torn

hems are flattering,

and look equally good,

especially if you have

toned legs to show

them off. Oh, and the

lace-up boots the 18-

year-old reality star

swears by.

Earthy, Neutral Tones.

Excluding her hair, Kylie

Jenner opts for neutral

colours for her stylish

outfits. Although they are

more daring than her

elder siblings', the tones

keep them looking classic

and stylish. Gone are the

days when white, brown,

beige and tan were con-

sidered "old people

colours" - now, Jenner

incorporates them in her

huge closet, and they

look anything but boring.

It's a great idea to include

simple pieces in your

closet too. After all, 'less

is more'. Try a tan dress

in your next Christmas

party, with some sequins

or crystal embroidery, for

a classy and elegant style.

A beige coat is also a

must investment,

because as we know, it is

extremely in vogue and

looks very put together

over your winter closet.

Men Interest

Teenagers are fascinated by having beards. It is the dream of every

teen ager boy to get the best look out of a beard. They find beards

to be one of the most presentable forms of appearance. For a fact

that they are growing up and want to show the ‘Man’ inside them

hence here is to the various looks they can have in beards. Let’s

have a look around and see what styles we have to offer them as

suggestions.

BEST BEARD STYLES FOR TEENAGERS

1. Medium hair and beard. Oh yes, nothing

looks better than this look.

It is one of the promising

and sincere manly looks

that the teenagers urge to

have. This look may have

the essence of a medium

length hair cut, more

suited on the silky yet

wavy hair. This combina-

tion works like magic on

the appearance.

2. Long hair and beard. Well, this look

here works well with all

the hair types. Be it

straight, wavy or curly. The

trick is to chop the hair in

manly layers and let the

beard grow. This is a

pleasant beard look for

the teenagers, those who

aim to become the man

3. The subtle stubble look! Well, this is the kind of look that rocks on every teenager.

It describes their transition through childhood to manhood. This includes a decent boy’s

haircut, the classic cuts along with letting traces of prickelish beard. Thus it doesn’t por-

tray as a complete man yet gives them the appearance they want to lead with!

4. Oh well another go go taker look is the squarish look. This comes with a

square type beard cut and similar essence in the haircut. This look is another try on for

the teenagers beard looks. This might be new, but this is fun. Yet it makes the person

stand out. Risk and exposure to fashion are a big combination. Why not try them?

5. For a teenage beard look, it is a suggestion

for the boys to keep their beards to the jawline,

keep a light moustache and let their hair grow long.

Well, yes there boys we are calling out for that

Korean look. It surely runs good on those Asian fea-

tures of yours. Well, that’s a good fair style to hang

on to.

6. Elite Guy’s Style is another look to make you stand out. The purpose here is to let your

beard grow near to your jawline, but it should be

thick enough. You should shave it as it approaches

your cheeks. While keeping your hair in long flip

from the front. Now that’s the elite boy’s style you

are craving for in the teenage boys beard looks.

7. Get that relaxed and reju-nivated look by gelling/ slicking

your hair in a back brushed look

while growing a thick mane beard

at the frontal look. Yes, that’s

another manly look for the teen-

ager boys to target!

8. The biker boy’s look. Oh

well, who doesn’t die for that look.

With the best brushed waves of

the haircut and the rugged yet

thin moustache look on the face.

That’s the kind of beard look teen-

ager boys crave at having.

9. Highly stylized circular mous-tache with a circular beard on the chin

combo is the best which works best with

the little trace of a beard on the jawline.

This is another look for teenager’s

beards to go for.

10. Taylor Lautner Beard with Spiky Hair. Well. This beard here is

surely a way to attract the manhood

around the teenager.

So, there you go fellows enjoy these variant look of beards for teenagers and grab on the style. Happy Bearding!

Isn’t a pool just a giant tub of chlorinated water? How the hell do they get so

expensive, then? Marble, water slides, mosaic tiles, and other awe-inspiring

elements – that’s how.

While researching the most expensive pools built throughout the world,

some sources agreed and others had different ideas about which pools are

the most expensive. Such a thing seems strange to argue over; either a pool

costs $10 million or it doesn’t. I guess, though, that some sources might

take inflation into consideration or others might convert currencies more

liberally.

Whether this list is factual or as potentially untrustworthy as the ones I

sifted through, a sparkling line-up of incredibly expensive and luxurious

pools is what this is about, and we delivered.

Luxury Living

WORLD MOST EXPENSIVE SWIMMING POOLS

Hearst Castle, USAIt already sounds perfectly stunning and regal. “Where do you take the kids to

swim?” “Oh, we live at the Hearst Castle, so we just swim in that $10 million pool we

have lying around in the backyard.”

But really, this pool – or pools, I suppose, as the Hearst Castle actually boasts 2

pools – was built around 1924 to the tune of $10 million. In case you were wonder-

ing, that’s a sweet sounding tune.

We’re not sure whether that’s $10 million in 1924 or $10 million our time, but we’re

hoping the latter, because the former undermines everything we’ve ever dreamed

the 20s looked like.

Can we call a castle a “crib”?

The elegant pool, built with marble and mosaic tiles, is privately owned by Mr. Wil-

liam Randolph Hearst, and apparently this is his castle. Move over, MTV.

By the way, this fancy pool in California is the first and last time we see the USA on

the list. It seems America’s unique craft for engineering all things absurdly lavish is

– wait for it – sinking. Ah, see what I did there?

5.

4.

Lev Leviev Residence, United KingdomThis pool is equally as expensive and just as private as the last mas-

terpiece. Situated in London, the pool is owned by an “Israeli busi-

nessman” who — one should assume — goes by the name Lev

Leviev.

The pool to accompany the city of gold?It’s easy to understand how the pool racked up such a high price tag

when I tell you that it was constructed with mosaic tiles and gold. Yes,

gold. I think I’ve read similar descriptions in the Bible, making this

pool the most heavenly on our list!

Also heavenly (or at least that’s what I hear) are the spa and steam

bath associated with the giant pool. The Lev Leviev probably didn’t

need anything more to make it the perfect venue for relaxation, but

that mysterious businessman is apparently a bit of a spendthrift. Oh,

did the $10 million pool give that away?

SeaGaia Ocean Dome, JapanThis $2 billion structure makes a mockery of those measly $10 million pools we

just ooed and awed over. Oh well, onto bigger and better things!

Speaking of big things, the Ocean Dome is the largest indoor pool in the world,

coming in at a whopping 328,000 square feet. Don’t quote me on that number; I

did the math myself. You get the idea – unbelievably massive indoor pool.

The only stereotypical surfer joke I’ll make all day…

The pool boasts a gnarly artificial wave pool, and I say gnarly only because surfers

take to these artificial waves like they’re the real things. Also included are mock

volcanoes. In case the fear of being trapped in the undercurrent of the wave pool

wasn’t enough, you can focus on the sound of artificial volcanic eruptions.

The giant Ocean Dome is also equipped with a water slide area. This pool (if you

can call it that) is perfect for every water lover. Surfers, waterpark enthusiasts,

swimmers, and volcano fans can all gather here in unrivaled merriment.

3.

San Alfonso, ChileAnother $2 billion pool, the San Alfonso sees the Ocean Dome’s “largest indoor

pool” and raises it a 2008 Guinness World Record. Well played, Chile. The giant

swimming pool took about 5 years to build, and with good reason; it’s about 20

acres in size. You thought maintaining a 20-acre yard was exhausting - how about

the pool maintenance for this beast?

I suppose the real question is: how do they fill that enormous swimming pool? With

filtered sea water, which makes sense, since the ocean is the only source of water

large enough to fill such a pool.

Maybe the water we see on Earth from space is San Alfonso rather than the sea…

Did I mention the pool gets up to 11 feet deep? It almost seems masochistic how

difficult they’ve made filling this thing. I bet the maintenance crew cringes every

time some over enthusiastic swimmer launches a cannonball into the water, quiv-

ering as that precious water splashes out of the enormous pool.

2.

City of Stars, EgyptThe most expensive pool in the world is the City of Stars, situated in Sharm el Sheikh.

Fun fact: the enormous lagoon-esque pool structure is made by Crystal Lagoons,

which also has its signature on the our last pool, the San Alfonso in Chile.

Along with the largest, 21-acre lagoon, there are 11 other lagoons staggered through-

out this tourist attraction. Of course this project rang up a bill of about $5.5 billion,

which is arguably more than most of our dates cost (though it doesn’t appear that way

at the mall, does it?).

2. 1.

Crystal Lagoons, you clever pool experts.Just like the San Alfonso, and probably because it’s

pioneered by the same team, the water to fill the

lagoons is pulled from the sea and filtered through

technology that was specially created by Crystal

Lagoons.

If you research expensive pools, you might not find

this behemoth on the list, because it’s relatively

new compared to several others usually named.

Constructed in 2009, the City

of Stars easily surpassed all of

the pools previously hailed as

the most expensive.

Crystal Lagoons is a group to

keep an eye on. They have a

seemingly continuous outflow

of major, awe-inspiring pro-

jects, including lavish golf

courses and water parks.

Should you ever have the

burning desire to swim in an

incredibly large, lavish, or

expensive pool or manmade

beach (and you should), you’ve

got enough material here to

work with. While I’ve never

visited the City of Stars or

heard the crack of Seagaia’s

artificial volcanoes, I’m confi-

dent none of these sites would

disappoint you or your wan-

derlust.

Holidaying in some far flung island is probably the best way to de-

stress. Nothing beats the idea of relaxing in a remote land floating

amid endlessly stretching water. Islands provide the perfect outing

destination whether be it a romantic getaway, or a relaxing sojourn.

Even the kids seem to enjoy the tropical islands with unending sun

and sand. Here is a list of the top 10 spectacular islands of the world!

10 Spectacular Islands of The World

Falkland Island

In South-West Atlantic

Ocean 300 miles east of

Patagonian coast lies

the disputed territory of

the Falkland Island or

Islas Malvinas. Currently

a British land which the

Argentines are trying to

get control over, the

political troubles cannot

underestimate the

island’s natural beauty

which is most popular

for its penguins.

Falkland Island gives you the best opportunity of watching penguins without risking an

Antarctic voyage.

Majuli Island, India

If islands on the seas and

oceans are too main-

stream for you then give

this offbeat island peep-

ing out of river Brahma-

putra a try. Majuli is the

largest river island in the

world. Tucked away in

the North-Eastern

fringes of India, Majuli is

mostly inhabited by

people undisturbed by

‘modernity’. It can offer

some rare sneak-peek

into the life of the tropical tribes. With greenery galore Majuli is also famous as a bird

watching spot!

9.

Bazaruto Archipelago, MozambiqueFelicitated by the title “Pearl of The Indian Ocean” Bazaruto archipelago rightly earned

this honour. One of Africa’s virgin beauties, the island flaunts it all. The white sand, the

infinite blue and the option of delving into luxury all are abundantly available here.

What sets this island apart is its rich population of fauna. Whale sharks, manta rays,

dolphins, turtles to name a few are permanent residents of the water around the

island.

Go to visit Capri once and there is a heavy

chance you may never want to leave. This

is that dream place in our imagination

which has an unsustainable perfection

about it. Its legendary beauty grasped the

kings, artists, popular personalities and

the common man alike. History, art and

culture form the heart and soul of Capri. It

is a magnificent island with exotic villas

and mysterious caves which open and

close with the tides.

Obviously, this island does not need any introduction.

The contribution of Galapagos in framing up of

Darwin’s –“The Theory Of Natural Selection” is known

by all. If the travel bloggers’ and videographers’

records’ are to be believed then people who set foot

here cry while leaving the island. It is very easy to fall

in love with the unique animals found nowhere else in

the world. Watching a hundred thousand varieties of

living beings existing peacefully without human

disturbances in the ‘moonland’ type volcanic geogra-

phy is once in a lifetime experience.

Bali, IndonesiaWhen the small Hindu population of Indonesia thought of nestling somewhere, they chose

Bali. In Bali, Hinduism is much more than just a religion, it is a lifestyle, a disposition which

is hard to ignore. Warm locals efficient in skilled craftsmanship can teach you lots of new

things. Get enthralled by interesting temples and out of the world mythological tales. Expe-

rience the unique essence of the Balinese people and make a memory to be treasured

for life.

How can a list of spectacular Islands be complete

without Santorini! Santorini is actually an active

volcano perched in the sea. With amazing architec-

ture and velvety wine it makes for aromantic holiday

destination. The orange and golden rays of the set-

ting sun kissing the snow coloured houses hanging

from the cliffs in an uncannily fine-tuned rhythm is

like a poem by nature. A traveler cannot help but

wonder what it would be like to live here forever!

Santorini, Greece

Bora Bora Island, TahitiSeclusion, luxury, nature and the horizon-less blue describes Bora Bora. It is the leading destination of the French Polynesian cluster of island in South Pacific Ocean. If ‘blue’ is a word carelessly used by you to express stress then a visit to this island will change that per-spective of your’s forever. Turquoise is the colour which rules here with towering rainfor-ests and iconic ‘floating’ bunglows. Though considered a honeymooners’ hotspot Bora Bora also offers a whole array of water sports like snorkelling and scuba diving.

SeychellesIt is perfectly understandable if you visit Seychelles and refuse to return ever! Captivat-

ing pristine white sand beaches and trickling azure water will stupefy you for days. The

feel of the soft sands here is something unique which is found in no other part of the

world. Ecotourism is in vogue and there is endless option for those who want to

splurge. Environmental restrictions are very strictly followed in this tiny island country

and its rich biodiversity is responsibly preserved.

Interviews

FASHION CENTRAL EXCLUSIVE TALK WITH DESIGNER ZIL E BATOOL OF ZIL _ JEWELRY & ACCESSORIES

How do you perceive fashion and style, what

impact does it form in terms of Jewellery?

Fashion itself is a popular style, that can vary

in different manners but yes in terms of Jew-

elry it enhance the beauty of adorning one’s

self by his or her choice of aesthetic. In the

current age everyone loves to wear jewelry

whether a women or a man, from wearable

functional jewelry to non-wearable jewelry as

sculpture aesthetic attracts the eye of

beholder and this is what I believe in while

creating every design whether it’s a part of

my commercial jewelry or conceptual Jew-

elry.

What inspired you to become a Jewelry

Designer?

My drawings always triggered me to commu-

nicate through intricate and minimal motifs;

therefore I found jewelry as mini sculpture

that was my urge to explore mixed materials,

gems and contemporary approach to revise

the traditional designs into new forms.

How do you stay up to date with new trends?

For me the new forms are important for

instance previously long earrings used to

wear even at a workplace but today the cus-

tomer is well aware for what to wear and

when, that actually makes my life easier to

concentrate on design and its functionality

besides that when I create the piece it sug-

gests the customer by itself that what suits

them the best.

Who is your ideal guru in Jewelry Design

field?

I idealize Louis Cartier being a successful

businessmen and Cartier’s best ever Jewelry

collections worth to educate anyone in this

filed. René Lalique, Henry Dunay and above

all in conceptual jewelry of Salvador Dali with

his precious mini sculptural pieces always

been my center of attraction. But in tradi-

tional Jewelry nothing can defeat the elegant,

extravagant Mughal motifs , Nizam’s Jewelry

treasure made a great impact upon me to

understand how I can revise the traditional

motifs with fusion of materials , imitation

Kundan with concave mirrors is one such

example that is no less than the real kundan

with gold.

What is the biggest challenge about being a jewellery designer?

Hmmm,… well nothing but the ignorance of the customer who has worth to pay for an exclu-

sive product but these days people buy whatever they like and especially the artificial jewelry

is inn to attract every class. Yet I believe in design and creativity that attracts the client at any

cost and I think that would be a new trend to make a good market in the next few years. Strong

aesthetics always appeal good strength.

Kindly share with us what projects are you

working on?

I has recently participated in Jun 2015 at the

52nd Saint Marie aux Mines / Minerals &

Gems Show in Alsace, France. I am working

for conceptual jewelry titled Transmission

-exhibition at Montpellier, France on 20th

Oct 2015. It is an interesting installation of a

neck piece which is also used in my video art

as prop as well , in this regard I am not just

exhibiting jewelry, in fact it’s an artwork that

will portray jewelry as sculpture. Coming up

next are exhibition of my brand Zil_ Jewelry &

accessories and many more exciting art pro-

jects.

Any special likings for a particular material or

do you just choose out of what is available?

I am selective being aesthetically sound to

project the accurate material according to

the design that I create. But I always try to

manage my customer’s need in terms of

budget. End of the day I have to make my

customer happy, therefore I give maximum

possibilities to my clients to choose the best

they like but this for customized Jewelry. The

manufactured articles are mainly in mixed

materials. But above all I am maintaining the

quality of my product that is my major con-

cern to give strength to precious gems.

Where do you see your label in the next 5

years?

Must be at an international platform where I

can exhibit the exclusive culture art and aes-

thetics of my land through my rich creativity

to adorn a good strength through contem-

porary Jewelry under the shed of my brand.

Where would you like your career in this field

to lead you to?

I am establishing my brand at the moment to

a level where I would be able to provide the

best product with best design and best qual-

ity materials; therefore I have a strong

believe in myself after My God that hard

work and consistency always shine a new

sun for an achiever.

Is customer’s criticism any help in making

creative designs?

Yes it does, in fact customer is the boss and

in terms of adornment you can’t force

anyone to wear something without his or her

will. Customer is always right yet I also inter-

vene to assist my client to understand the

best aesthetics and towards an affordable

quality Jewelry piece.

Do you also aim for international exposure?

Offcourse I am already working on many projects at international platforms , yet the

base of my thoughts always enrich the understanding towards my land’s rich culture, art

and heritage that always comes first to project my work in front of the world. Inter-

national or national exposure is nothing till the time one understands the dynamics

of its creativity and the purpose of projecting that work even if its jewelry.

at-home mother if she wasn’t an actress. The “Unbroken” director –

who has childrenMaddox, 14, Pax, 11, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, nine, and

seven-year-old twinsKnox and Vivienne with husband Brad Pitt –

would love to spend more time with her six kids if she wasn’t so busy

in front and behind the camera, reported Entertainment Tonight. “I

think I’d just be home being a mom more. I love being a mommy. I

love my kids so I’d just stay home.”

Meanwhile, the 40-year-old actress previously revealed her children

think she is a bit “weird”. “They think I’m weird. Well, alright, they

might. Maddox talks to me sometimes about writing as if he doesn’t

think I’m terrible at it and Vivienne is just happy I’m a tiger in a panda

movie. But, ah, she’s just a little one – she’s all sweet. “I mean, there

are moments when I can be cool, but they like to mess with me. They

white paint surrounding the perimeter of

the cabinet.
