Many times people think that they have failed because something did not meet their expectations. What about all of the other silver linings and blessings that were created because you risked success? Do not take the valuable lessons of failure for granted. Celebrate whatever level of successes you can.
Your perseverance will get you through any troubles that you might be experiencing. However perseverance is useless by itself; it needs hope. Hope inspires you with strength and lends power to your perseverance so that you traverse your difficulties with more grace. You’ve got this.
Your challenges give you a chance to show up as best you can for yourself and your life. If you don’t do your best, fall on your face, or make mistakes, that’s OK. Learn the lessons you need to so that you move onto a better version of yourself and can handle the next problem that presents itself.
Having courage every day to get up and try to make ends meet, live a purposeful life, and be healthy can be overwhelming depending on the cards that we have been dealt. When you feel defeated at the end of the day, find that courageous voice within you, and get ready to tackle tomorrow.
This is one of my most favorite positive quotes. It really can lighten your mood to lend a hand to someone else that needs help. Working on making someone else feel better about themselves can often make you feel better about yourself too. Give it a try.
Laughter is so incredibly therapeutic. Being able to apply laughter in times of boredom, heartache, challenging times and frightening ones, brings light and life to each situation. It shatters through tense energy and allows breaths of fresh air to enter you as you let loose in joy, even if for a moment.
As a fashion stylist, I’ve always looked to the past to inspire the present—and when it comes to visual sophistication and the origins of true fashion photography, no one embodies this better than George Hoyningen-Huene. His images shaped the visual language of fashion long before the term “editorial” had the cultural weight it does today. Now, Milan celebrates his remarkable legacy with Glamour and Avanguardia, an exhibition at Palazzo Reale, running until May 18th this year. If you love fashion, art, photography—or all three—this is an unmissable journey through the eyes of a true pioneer.
Как стилист, я всегда обращаюсь к прошлому в поисках вдохновения для настоящего — и когда речь идет о визуальной утонченности и истоках настоящей модной фотографии, никто не воплощает это лучше, чем Джордж Хойнинген-Хюне. Задолго до того, как слово editorial стало частью повседневного модного лексикона, его изображения уже формировали его смысл. Сегодня Милан отдает дань его невероятному наследию на выставке «Glamour and Avanguardia» в Палаццо Реале, которая продлится до 18 мая. Если вы любите моду, искусство или фотографию — а лучше всё вместе — это обязательное к посещению путешествие сквозь взгляд настоящего новатора.
Born into Russian aristocracy and reborn in 1920s Paris, Hoyningen-Huene was the original fashion image-maker. His work graced the pages of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Vanity Fair, bringing an almost sculptural elegance to fashion photography. Whether shooting Chanel gowns or Schiaparelli’s surreal designs, his use of light, shadow, and structure created images that still feel modern today.
Родившись в русской аристократической семье и возродившись в Париже 1920-х годов, Хойнинген-Хюне стал первым настоящим создателем модных образов. Его работы публиковались в Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar и Vanity Fair, он снимал платья от Chanel, сюрреалистичные творения Schiaparelli и голливудских звезд с элегантностью, которая до сих пор выглядит современной.
He moved in legendary circles—collaborating with Man Ray, befriending Salvador Dalí, and sharing a creative bond with Coco Chanel. You can see these influences come alive in the exhibition’s stunning mix of high fashion, minimalism, and quiet surrealism.
Он вращался в легендарных кругах — сотрудничал с Ман Рэем, дружил с Сальвадором Дали и делил творческую связь с Коко Шанель. Влияние этих связей чувствуется на выставке: здесь мода встречается с минимализмом и тонким сюрреализмом в идеальном балансе.
Walking through Glamour and Avanguardia feels like stepping into a black-and-white dream—pure elegance, captured in every frame.
Прогулка по Glamour and Avanguardia — это как путешествие по черно-белому сну: каждое изображение тщательно скомпоновано, каждая тень значима, каждый кадр — ода вечному стилю.
If you’re in Milan, make time for this show. Fashion lovers, photographers, and aesthetes alike: this is a masterclass in visual storytelling you’ll carry with you long after you leave.
Если вы в Милане — не пропустите. Будь вы стилист, фотограф или просто ценитель красоты, это настоящая школа визуального повествования, которая останется с вами надолго.
You only have this moment to make a new choice. No matter if you screamed at your children or your partner 5 minutes ago, right now you can choose to take a deep breath instead. No matter if you made a mistake at work, you can choose now to fix it and create a new ending.
Some days it’s like that, isn’t it? You have no idea how you are still managing, but somehow you do. Do you feel like you’re hanging by your fingernails, by a thread, by the skin of your teeth, etc.? It’s usually right at your most absolute, most desperate, weakest moment that things suddenly change. Hang on.
The challenges we face and the goals we set are often simply smokescreen for the journey we undertake to conquer ourselves and all the doubts and fears we have. We often do not know what we are made of until we are faced with a mountain to climb.
