IN CONVERSATION WITH GIOVANNA LAURETTA - PROMOTER, ART DIRECTOR & ORGANIZER WITH A PASSION
GIOVANNA LAURETTA
TELL OUR READERS A LITTLE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR WORK AT MOD'ART IN ROME. DESCRIBE YOUR WORK AND HOW YOU STARTED IN FASHION.
My name is Giovanna Lauretta and I was born in Sicily, the place where I opened a studio where I have been dealing with image consulting for about 15 years. At the same time, I started to get involved in the organization of art and fashion events, first only as the art manager of the painter and designer Enzo Scarlatti and later also with other fruitful collaborations with other stylists.
Thanks to this trip I discovered the love for a profession that led me to move to Rome, a city where I have been working for 25 years. It was precisely in Rome, where I was involved in the promotion of the Scarlatti brand and the dresses from his paintings, that I got even closer to the high fashion side and have made it the focus of my work in recent years. For this reason the Mod'Art Academy was founded and for several years I have been dealing with the preparation of future models for national and international events; In that regard, the experience that began with Fiore Tondi's World Top Model and has now lasted for about six years has been extremely enriching for me.
ITALY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MODENATION IN THE WORLD AFTER FRANCE. AMONG THE MAIN ITALIAN FASHION BRANDS DOLCE&GABBANA, VERSACE, GUCCI, PRADA, MEDEA AND MANY OTHERS. WHAT LINES DOES MOD'ART FOLLOW?
Following the proud Made in Italy line that distinguishes us in the world, I can say that my concern is always to find new stylists who make their creations with excellent quality raw materials and excellent tailoring. In particular, as Art Director of the Scarlatti brand, the goal set for years is to maintain a high quality of fashion products and above all to stand out for the creativity and originality of the prints: in fact the Scarlatti dresses - always present at the events I organize - on the one hand, they reproduce his paintings, on the other hand, the clothes worn by the
women of the African villages, which have inspired the artist so much, take on a concrete form. So here is the perfect combination to bring art and fashion together to the fullest.

"Fashion has certainly changed a lot in recent years, especially when it comes to women's clothing, which today is very far from the classicism that I personally look for in my everyday life. Certainly, for a person like me, linked to the fashion of the legendary 60s, in my opinion the pinnacle of extreme femininity, we increasingly hope for a rediscovery of the class and elegance of the past". (G.Lauretta)
WERE OR ARE YOU IN FIORE TONDI'S WORLD TOP MODEL CASTING TEAM. WHAT ARE YOUR EXPERIENCES?
As expected, I have been approaching the world of Fiore Tondi's World Top Model for about six years now and every year I am more and more convinced of the value and prestige of this international competition. Mainly thanks to the great harmony of the Fiore Tondi organizing team, I have been working with encouragement and pleasure for some time, taking on the role of organizer-casting for the Lazio region; In addition, by accompanying the models in the different phases of the competition, I have the valuable opportunity to meet new realities and professionals from different parts of the world.
ON JANUARY 20, 2023 THE BIG MOD'ART EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE PALAZZO DI ROMA. WHAT IS THE PROGRAM? WHAT CAN GUESTS EXPECT?
Well said! The January 20th, 2023 will be a great event for me and my team, not only because it will mark the restart after the dark pandemic period, but also because it will be held at the Palazzo Ferrajoli in Rome, an important and prestigious place in Rome the center of Rome. Art and fashion guests such as jewelry designer Antonio Palladino, jewelry designer AnnaBruna Moda, “the artist of Moda” and designer Enzo Scarlatti, stylists Eleonora Giamberduca and Luigina Epifani with their ceremonial and bridal creations, respectively wearing the Elins and Sposanova brands and the haute couture designer Renata La Rena directly from Bratislava. What we work for and what we want to offer our guests will be a captivating moment of haute couture combined with the evocative atmosphere of the place and the tunes of live musicians.
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN THE COMING YEARS?
Nice and interesting question! Where do I see myself in the next few years? I see myself all over the world. Actually, I don't want to exaggerate ... Maybe I can be satisfied with half the world, at least for the time being. The way my life has gone so far, whatever my future goal is and whoever I meet along the way, I am sure that I will find new impulses that will lead me to always represent this world to the best of my ability and with the same passion of your life!

JOHN MADOXX - NEW ISSUE 12-22
SOME IMPRESSIONS OF MODEL JOHN MADOXX

We had the opportunity to meet Tuba SAHINOVA - in the metropolis of Istanbul for an exclusive interview. Check out the following questions about nudity, preconceptions and the perfect man.
How would you describe yourself?
I am a young woman with a strong sense of justice and stable moral values. I have a harmonious inner balance and enjoy spending time with myself reading a book, going swimming or just sitting on the lawn and enjoying the sun on my face. I'm charming and friendly and a little bit childish (she laughs).
You travel a lot, lucky, that we were able to meet for the interview. Where is the next trip going?
I'm also glad that we were able to meet for the interview. Yes, I travel a lot. I'm flying to Monaco next week and then back to Miami.
I am looking forward to visit my home country Germany again.
You say homeland to Germany - isn't Turkey your homeland?
I was born and i grew up in Germany. I went to kindergarten, did my Abitur and studied law there. German was the first language I have learned - my roots are there - that's why Germany is my hometown.
Don't you feel at home in Turkey?
No. I can't say that either. Sure, it's the country my parents come from, but I keep noticing, even though I speak good Turkish, that I'm different from the people here. That's why I can't identify myself. But since I'm a smart girl, I can manage it well. I'm moving to Miami. That's where I want to spend my life and raise my kids.
What should your dream man be like?
My dream man should be a mature man who has collected all his experiences in life until he met me and has therefore reached maturity and can appreciate his life with me. He should love my inner worth more than my beauty. He should be clever and always one step ahead of me - He should be socially respected and have power in society. He should know how to love and sometimes love and protect me like a daughter and at the same time respect and honor me as his honorable wife. I should love myself for honoring him and protecting the family. He should be soft and vulnerable on the inside- The core only his closest loved ones can touch. On the outside he should be serious- When he looks at me I should tremble with excitement. He should be able to look deep into my eyes and tell me with his eyes that I belong to him. Above all, the willingness to grow and enough self-confidence so that they can really love you well. When they are emotionally prepared for a real connection and ready for the deep healing that will bring them closer together over time, it will be easier to build a relationship and vibrant home. Mature love is a commitment to support each other's happiness.love and be loved is the asnwer.
Would you strip for Playboy?
I am a person who believes in nature very strongly. That's why I don't oppose nudity. On the contrary - In order to be in harmony with nature, indigenous people paint themselves with natural colors and thus experience becoming one with nature. But I reject the use of nudity as a sexual object. In my opinion, a feminine woman is one who plays with her charms and doesn't display them openly - it gets boring very quickly. I choose the variant to always remain interesting and not to show off my feminine assets to everyone- That's much more elegant. That's why I wouldn't undress for Playboy, but I would for an anti-fur campaign.
What do you say to the prejudice of many that beautiful women, models and misses are not intelligent?
When I applied for the Miss Germany election, I actually picked up on this topic and continued that as Miss Germany I would like to change the image of the Miss. That a beautiful woman can be educated. Unfortunately, I was also confronted with this prejudice. As soon as they asked about my education or profession, they were amazed when they heard the answer. Namely that I studied law and am a lawyer - and also in criminal law. Which I'm very proud of.
I am a woman with ideals. Just being beautiful wouldn't be enough for me. Because I firmly believe that beauty is only complete with intelligence, charm and friendliness.

Introducing Model Fatima Nour from Berlin
Fatima was born in Trier and moved to Berlin at a young age. The young woman with sudanese nubian roots started and finished her school career there. She is currently concentrating on improving her skills in conceptualizing music videos, directing, photography and color theory compositions whilst implementing the importance of mental health into her art. Fatima has managed several projects: including music video productions, brand productions and shootings in the last 2 years and has gained further experience in the creative field. Her experience and eye for detail in front of and behind the camera are impeccably essential on set. She herself is an aspiring model who is self-employed and has had in her portfolio clients such as Memphis Depay, Serious Klein, Dr.Sturm, Senna Gammour and most recently delivery giant Flink. One of her next goals in the next year is to find suitable model agencies in Europe which are interested in representing her.
Fatima has been working with her best friend and business partner Elisa Loah on the artists development of the singer. She is Elisa's creative director for all of her music videos and oversees all projects and shoots.
(I've learned to use my life experiences to create and translate them into my art. I'm passionate about finding new ways and tools to enlighten one's inner child and help break stigma surrounding mental health and the lack of conversation in our black community. My goal is to normalize mental health and prioritize oneself. To help with flowing with the tide.
My concepts, story writing and modeling are used as a way to express my joy or for translating wishes and messages into a concept for projects, videos & music videos. My superior goal is to inspire others towards moving forward even when life may seem unpredictable
at times.)
