“Angels are like diamonds. They can’t be made. You have to find them. Each one is unique.” This quote is attributed to the famous American actress, Jaclyn Smith, who was renowned for her role as one of the original stars in the 1970s hit television show, Charlie’s Angels. It’s easy to see how apt such a description would be for another lady in the industry. She’s not an actress but certainly a celebrity in her own right, dazzling and shining bright. She’s like an angel—a luminous, spirited, and cheerful being—taking center stage in the local media and entertainment industry as a top honcho with a big heart, alongside her father, Atty. Felipe Lapuz Gozon, in the Philippines’ leading radio and free-television network. Catching up and conversing with Annette Gozon-Valdes was…

“The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows and the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.” Such insight from the unforgettable and iconic goodwill ambassador and advocate, Audrey Hepburn, seems an intuitive choice for this introduction. There can be no better commonality best shared among women than that of their interior qualities. The Honorary Consul of the Philippines to El Salvador Ms. Maria Josefina B. Ortigas de Duarte is subtle with her identity. Known simply as Tabbie to her peers, she plays her role in society with a forthright yet…

Maria Grazia Chiuri, Creative Director of Dior women’s lines, dreamed up this spring-summer 2024 ready-to-wear collection starting from a reflection on the meaning of the present. A present in which past and future must coexist simultaneously. In this convergency, open to many interpretations, she continues to explore the relationship between femininity and feminism, driven by the conviction that fashion has, more than ever, a responsibility to help women realize their worth and express their differences. She is therefore interested in all the rebels who have asserted their independence in the face of a masculine world and challenged its system. These include witches, custodians of the knowledge of the mother-goddess, who pass on the science of plants and respect the time of nature. Maria Grazia Chiuri’s creations for Dior reveal a…
