Tobias Kormind, managing director of 77 Diamonds, Europe's largest online diamond jeweller. Tobias Kormind, managing director of 77 Diamonds, Europe's largest online diamond jeweller, announced on 9 March, that 77 Diamonds would no longer stock Russian diamonds. As the situation develops now Cartier and other labels of the Richemont group have stepped down from the Responsible Jewellery Council, after the industry standards organisation which is devoted to creating a sustainable supply chain in the global watch and jewellery industry failed to cut ties with Russia, acc to Reuters. In addition, the Responsible Jewellery Council director Iris Van Der Veken has resigned, while jewellery giant Pandora earlier this week also bowed out of the organisation, which has 1500 members in 71 countries. Tobias Kormind, managing director of 77 Diamonds now says: “Richemont, which has exposure to sources of Russian diamonds, has taken the lead and it is likely others will follow. The decision of the global luxury conglomerate shows that the Responsible Jewellery Council has missed an opportunity, while it faces the difficult challenge of balancing members' needs with doing the right thing. At a time when the world is outraged, the notion of responsibility is about much more than sustainability, it is about leading and taking the right moral stance. The RJC can correct their inaction by widening the interpretation of conflict diamonds to include all Russian diamonds.” About 77 Diamonds Europe’s largest online diamond jeweller 77 Diamonds has an appointment only showroom and workshop in London’s Mayfair, with additional showrooms in Manchester, Frankfurt, Berlin, Munich, Zurich and Stockholm. 77 Diamonds has access to the largest source of diamonds in the world.

After successful Paris exhibit, now it’s delightful that Dallas Museum of Art is set to host unique Cartier creations ! The merge of Cartier ‘s heritage and Islamic design is subject of study in the forthcoming exhibition at Dallas Museum of Art - ‘#Cartier and Islamic Art: In Search of Modernity” - Opening May 14, 2022✨ Commenting on this important exhibition that was initially presented at MAD Paris earlier this year, Francesca Cartier Brickell , author of ‘The Cartiers’ (2020) said to Moralmoda Magazine, 'The Persian style,’ my grandfather Jean-Jacques Cartier once explained to me, ‘was the purest influence on the Cartier style.’ As a child, he had missed his parents on their many trips to India and the Middle East, but those long voyages abroad had given his father, Jacques, the seeds of inspiration to create a new style of jewellery. Pencil drawings of their surroundings –temples, mosques, carvings, motifs – scribbled in his travel diaries would later be transformed into clocks, vanity cases and brooches, while suitcases filled with exotic objects–rugs, paintings, sculptures, fabrics – would inspire teams of designers back home."

The audience experienced 20 minutes of breathtaking scenography and live storytelling with adrenaline at its peak. This season's couture Spring Summer 2022 narrated the tree of life, and how glorious one can be at all ages and with all forms of shape and diversity. Furthermore, it highlighted how the older generation passed on the glory to the younger ones.

The story continued to leave an impression on the collection and keep the audience amazed throughout the entire evening. From the start; the white couture gowns, suits, and outerwear is utterly fabulous. His collection had every trend in silhouette, and trim. Each look had a sort of ‘eternal’ feel. Like the cocktail A-line dress with 3D detail and a cropped blazer; there was a futuristic element. Full on white menswear blazer and trouser sets were sleek. The wide leg pants are a nice break from the tapered trouser styles. More on trend; the bodycon dress, with ruffled-flounce sleeves featured floral bejeweled designs. Two-piece dress sets, with bralettes were fashioned impeccably, with elbow length gloves, and a sweet white clutch purse. His take on the collard dress was cool, with bell-sleeves and a fanned beaded design on the front. The men utility style jacket in all white is bold, with silver fabric placement, and epaulettes on the shoulder. As the collection went on; a very artistic avant-garde blazer was shown. The face and tassel on a men blazer is innovative, as well as the stencil drawn floral pattern on his billowing strapless floor-length gowns. The metallic silver leaf-like patterns on the dresses was Michael’s tribute to spring. The same foliage style could be seen in the body contouring floor length gowns. The craftsmanship that went into the details of the adorned sheer fabric is breathtaking. The flounced fabric on the shoulders of the gowns and on the waist is also impressive. The use of gold and silver fabric and it’s sparkling details was goddess-like. The blue and green gowns are fanciful, and have boasts a tie-dyed look to them. The swirls and style of the art gave the dresses a pleasant illusion aesthetic. Michael Cinco’s collection for Spring 2022 is a masterpiece in every way.

The second day of Women’s Arab Fashion Week – Couture – Spring Summer 2022 kick-off with the renowned Indonesian label HIAN TJEN, Russian HUMARIFF, British label LULU LIU, Polish label DOROTA GOLDPOINT, and Dubai based MICHAEL CINCO. Hian Tjen is a master of his craft. Hian Tjen couture collections Spring-Summer 2022 Magical, Layers, and Euphoric are the keywords of the couture collections for spring 2022. Diversity, equality and life cycle is the headline, featuring Caroline Labouchere and the Council’s Curvy Ambassador, Ameni Esseibi. Emirati, Lebanese, Tunisian and Sudanese female models walked the runway. HIAN TJEN X MAKEOVER Hian Tjen is an ESMOD graduate, who created his brand and managed to carve a niche in the market for making elaborate detail-oriented pieces that are imaginative and dreamlike; sheer fabrics melded with classic Asian inspired prints, and rich deep colorways. The collection is imbued in atmosphere of Alexander McQueen's ethnic inspired couture shows for Givenchy in Paris in the late 90s. As expected, Hian Tjen has triumphed in creating Haute Couture; where his culture was heavily represented, and with great impact; from the complex and intricately designed beading, to the conversational prints. Two-piece swimsuits, and dresses featured landscape or miniature rural scenes. Spring took on a different element as gowns in soft sheer blue fabric featured true jungle imagery with animals, and creatively drawn foliage. His green embroidered dress gave the illusion of a two-piece flowing set. The placement of the waist, and sheer fabric was truly inventive. Hian also had Asian inspired prints on light quilted fabrics, and blazers in traditional and none-traditional silhouettes. The pieces with the feathered trim are also inspiring, especially against the darker shades of black and deep blue. Animal prints had a fun twist too; they were easily recognizable, but ingeniously altered. His most sultry couture gown was constructed of red draped sateen, and sheer fabric with hand prints strategically covering the bust. The sheer fabric he placed his patterns on are liken to tattoos on the skin. The show closer was even more impressive. The model wore a marvelous gold headdress, feathered floor-length coverall, and multicolored earth toned gown. It was a great finish and definitely made a mark for Hian Tjen (above) this Spring/Summer 2022. LULU LIU Couture - award-winning brand Graduating from the esteemed London College of fashion, and specializing in Haute Couture Embroidery from Ecole Lesage Paris, Lulu Liu (Lulu Yilu) is a figure in the fashion couture scene.

Her collections are known for its modern silhouettes, brilliant colors, and artistic conservative styles. Lulu Liu Couture Spring 2022 collection presented in Dubai Gathered ruffles, with feathered details, and sparkling elements were expressed delicately throughout the brand’s Spring 2022 collection. Patterns were likened to paint splashed. The opening couture piece featured a full volume coat-like shawl, in deep blue tone. The pink gown underneath it was a great shade to bring out the details of the shawl. LuLu’s A-line dress showed how a garment piece could also share the traits of an accessory. The lovely rose color with gold beading gave the classic black dress a modern touch. The peplum style dresses also had touches of Spring’s most popular trends; ruffled sleeves, and strapless design. The color coordination was excellent in this collection. Every item had an illuminating effect. The cocktail dresses also had different placement of the ruffles: on the bust or around the waist. Feathered trims are also shown. There is even a gown that is covered in white feathers. It was a nice twist to see a lace couture garment in this collection; combined with silvery pants. Orange was a color also featured in the LuLu Couture collection; with paint splashed in a contrasting green shade. This particular gown had an interesting design; the added cummerbund-like piece was layered on the bust, and from the back; gave the gown structure. Of course, the closing gown was immaculately poised; various sized ruffles, gather-bunched fine cloth, and sheer black fabric encapsulating it. It was full bloom in white, cream, and off-white. LuLu brought such a unique perspective to Haute Couture this Spring 2022. She is petite, but a hugely talented designer. DOROTA GOLDPOINT Dorota Goldpoint is an expressive Polish fashion designer, with goals to drape women in luxurious goods they will cherish forever. She is a staple in couture fashion. Her gowns are sewn from natural textiles of silk, satin, crepe, chiffon, and organza; just to mention a few.

One knew right away what to anticipate in Dorata Goldpoints Haute Couture Collection. From the start, the wave of classic and timeless glamour ensued. The cuts were very conservative, with vintage floral prints, and soft pink hues. Collared gowns, and gold embroidered details on the shoulders also gave that classic vintage appeal. There was also fur featured, and helped the collection stay consistent with Haute Couture. The gold gown, with its large flounced sleeves was also stunning. The high-lo style of a few gowns in the collection was an unexpected. That silhouette is retro, and highlighted the trends of the season. The hat accessories are remarkable too; top hat with lace and a bumper style; both with floral elements. As the collection went on, the high-lo style evolved into single satin layered petal-like fabrics. Capes and lengthy shawls were also featured, and on soft pinkish lavender hues. It was a nice ease into the gowns with the brighter shade of fuchsia pink. Once again, fur made its presence on the runway in pink trim. The vintage style of the entire collection is versatile and first-class. It’s a sophisticated and lavish conservative look. Gold’s symbolic reference to quality, can be found in this collection. Dorota Goldpoint has a way of introducing the most timeless styles back into the fold, thereby exposing the new class of Haute Couture enthusiast to relate-able modest fashion.

Prof. Sir Manuel Freire-Garabal y Núñez, Al-Khalifa Business School (AKBS) Chairman, and Nermin A., Moralmoda Magazine Their football Academy’s model is based on recreational and formative tools implementation in order to complete other educational values that can make a difference in the region. Academia Javier Mascherano is a federated football club focused on training, which has both children’s and youth divisions. Welcoming the world in Buenos Aires The High-Performance Training Center is located in Lincoln, Province of Buenos Aires, aimed at young people from Argentina and from all over the world.

Benchmark and global leader within its field AJM seeks to be a benchmark and global leader in the training of soccer players, based on their methodology, ForMas, forged in values ​​and developed by their team of experts led by Javier Mascherano. The paradigm of the footballer who receives information and seeks to complete it by his own means, without waiting to be trained, makes him an incomplete footballer. On the other hand, the capacities of the trainer are essential for the athlete to assimilate values ​​such as seriousness on a day-to-day basis, improvement of their virtues and correction of their defects, desire for “everyone” and not for “one”, more no matter how successful you are in your career. In this sense, Javier Mascherano represents the values ​​desired by any trainer in charge of a group of young athletes. Javier Mascherano is the Argentine player with the most official matches played with the Argentine National Team. Together with Messi and Maradona, they are the only three Argentine players with four World Cup appearances. Former player of River Plate, Corinthians, West Ham, Liverpool, F.C.

The mission of CC Forum is convening the top business leaders, policy makers and public figures and defining the relevant course of action to confront the existential challenges we are all facing today including climate change, fossil-fuel-based economies, overpopulation and poverty. The CC Forum agenda is parallel to the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations, and being an investment conference which is 100% dedicated to investment in sustainability its topics centre around investing in Environment, Renewable Energies, Emerging Technologies, Healthcare, Education, Social Inclusion and Philanthropy connecting the brightest startups to the savviest of investors, cc-forum.com. While CC Forum’s previous editions were held in London in October 2019 with a written royal greeting from HM Queen Elizabeth II, in Monaco in September 2020 under the High Patronage and with the participation of HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco and in Dubai in April 2021, ahead of the 7th edition of CC Forum London, Moralmoda Magazine talks to the Founder about the goals of the forthcoming CC Forum. Left to right: Isabel Jiménez, Nick Bacigalupo, Global Humanitarian Left to right: Melinda Woolf, Founder Future for Humanity Foundation, Richard Kollert, violinist, and Isabel Jiménez Opening reception at Four Seasons Manama Bahrain Left to right: Isabel Jiménez, HRH Prince Abdullah Bin Sultan Al Saud Awards Giving Ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Manama, Bahrain Left to right: Isabel Jiménez, Yewande Austin, Change International Founder and Singer Yann Bernard LEJARD, Michelin-starred chef Prior to the CC Forum Middle East, in Manama, Bahrain, Moralmoda has interviewed Max Studennikoff, Founder and Chief Executive of CC Forum, about prospects, challenges and business opportunities of investment in sustainable development, as the world is being recovering from the pandemic. Liliya Tippetts: As the Founder and Chief Executive of CC Forum, can you please introduce the background to the CC Forum? Max Studennikoff: CC Forum stands for Climate Change Forum. It is not just tied to climate change only, but it is related to impact investment, social inclusion, philanthropy, finance and so forth. I have been invited to speak at many forums and climate change conferences. And I realised five years ago that the world was lacking a global platform that deals with all the existential issues that are all facing today. In this respect we have always been perceived as an investment forum. Otherwise you could say that the CC Forum is a club of impact investors. It is a platform where they can brainstorm what steps need to be taken on the subject. Max Studennikoff, Founder and Chief Executive of CC Forum Step by step, two years ago at the CC Forum London edition which was totally dedicated to the emerging technologies, sustainability and sustainable development, we received a letter of greeting from Buckingham Palace on behalf of HM Queen Elisabeth II and we were officially authorized to use this for our state-of-the-art booklet alongside with her official photo, then Prince Albert picked up the torch so to speak and graciously bestowed his patronage to the next edition held in Monaco in 2020. So much so that not only did he attend the event, but also received me in person at a meeting at the Palace of Monaco, and this shows to all the extent to which we progressed a global platform. We are still very much in an embryonic state, but we have been succeeding in triggering off the investors' community's thinking in the right direction. On stage in Bahrain: Yewande Austin, Change International Founder and Singer L. T.: For your events held at the best locations between Monaco, Dubai and London, how do you identify different themes or topics for each region and destination or how is the programme organised? Max Studennikoff: We are indeed in the top locations. All is incorporated into the vision of investment and sustainability. However the content differs depending on the location, I will just give a few examples. So, when we came to Dubai, apart from many topics that were shared across conferences, there were 2-3 that were specifically region oriented, such as potable water and real-estate, these were considered to be the Gulf related topics. In the case of Monaco besides the frequent topics disused we have also highlighted and discussed the future of the car industry, which is a quintessential topic related to Monaco, and the Principality has always a been capital of showcasing the achievements in the naval industry as well. These are two huge pillars that Monaco has been propping upon over the decades. When it comes to London the variety of topics will be there, again, because London has been and still is despite the Brexit a global financial center of the world and one of the financial hubs of the world, so a lot of attention will be attached to the future of sustainable financing. It really varies from location to location, but again, it is important to understand that it is all within the frame of sustainable investment and sustainable development. L. T.: What would be the key areas and industries with sustainable investment in the sustainable future? Max Studennikoff: It is so entangled and intertwined that it is really hard to single out the areas. But I would suggest that investment in the green energies is the area that is probably the foremost. It is a groundbreaking revolution, a once in a lifetime opportunity and it has been largely thanks to the extraordinary context of the pandemic. This new investors thinking has been triggered of in the right direction. That is certainly of paramount importance, if we want to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases and preserve the planet livable for the future generations. But again, it is all linked to areas adjectant to that. I would single out education, it remains hugely important to give our kids the ability to understand and be able to share the fundamental values and that we as a species and as a population understand as to what is sustainable and what is not. I have just pointed out energy sector, but there are so many sectors that are linked energy; like health care, as we know that our health and wellbeing is related to the health of the planet. A new era has come that should see of a new type of an entrepreneur emerge that would be more concerned with the environmental and social impact than just profit making, so gone are the days when we could do business as usual. It is really now or never. The sustainable mindset could be implemented across all sectors. It is hugely important to keep the momentum going both at the corporate level and the personal level. These two layers or two axes are supposed to meet in a unity, not only corporations have to share these principals, but also these seeds have to fall on the soil of personal rethinking of paradigm. Sometimes corporations consider these principles as a placebo, and if we instead talk about this complete and total personal rephrasing of the paradigm that would play even more important role. It should all come from within. L. T.: You have crafted an intense and culturally enriched programme for guests to network and Monaco is surely the ideal place for such extensive programme what can we look forward to for your events in London and Dubai? Max Studennikoff: The London edition is of huge importance to us, because we started from London and we now for various reasons could not hold any events in it for almost 2 years. We really attach great importance to this comeback. And it is important to emphasise that the CC Forum London has been seen widely as an investment precursor of the COP 26 UN Climate Change Conference, hosted by the UK in partnership with Italy, will take place from 31 October to 12 November 2021 in the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow. Physical and recreation frameworks are important, but we have always seen us as an investment forum and the practicality of it has always been to unite the best and brightest investors. It is very important to ensure that time frame is right. L. T.: Holding CC Forums without partners' support would probably be difficult. Who is backing your initiative? Max Studennikoff: Indeed, holding each of our event calls for an enormous amount of strategic planning and operational work. It would be impossible todo so without the staunch support of our partners. I am pleased to announce that CC Forum has entered a long term partnership with the Neutrino Energy Group; as investment in the green energy transition is the focal point of the Forum's agenda. Developed by the group, neutrinovoltaic technology for generating electricity from ambient electromagnetic radiation, as well as energy fields, including neutrino and antineutrino energy, promises to be a driver for the development of distributed power generation and the phasing out of fossil fuels. L. T.: What would be the companies to keep an eye on for high caliber investors? Max Studennikoff: Two years ago we organised the forum in London alongside many other events for the House of Lords, including the black tie Gala Dinner and Award Giving ceremony. We will also be holding multiple VIP receptions and garden parties as well during the London event. There will be a lot of discussions and debate. It is also important that the VIP delegates have the opportunity of mixing and socialising, this is why it is not confined to the conference room only, we try and give them the opportunity to engage outside the conference room. It's really now or never, we should grasp the seriousness of the situation on this planet. I would say, and I am very far from being pessimistic here, on the contrary, the forum's mission and ethos are to highlight new projects and to bring the companies that can make the difference. I think it is a bit of a stick and carrot for investors here, we should be hugely aware of the potential consequences if we fail to reinstall sustainable practices. However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel: we are seeing the startups and mind-blowing ideas which can help us turn the ride. If we look at the philosophical side of it, the bulk of the problems that we have today stems form the fact that humanity has trodden the wrong track choosing the technology as the guiding light, but I am really convinced that it is paradoxical as it might seem, that it is down to technological breakthroughs to bootstrap mankind and the planet from the fine mess we are in today.
