Elibeidy Dani Martinez is located on the coast of the Dominican Republic, a gem of the Caribbean Sea, with beautiful weather and island charm. The background is the fashion model Elibeidy Dani Martinez who has collaborated with Gucci, Burberry and other influential brands. El Valle Lodge in Playa El Valley is a sustainable resort that brings together the creativity of stylist Calvy Click and photographer Sam Gold to create a Resort '22 project that focuses on the culture of DR from the Dominican Republic.

Calvy Click creates a scene based on sustainable development and a carefree mentality, dressing Martinez as a well-designed and casual wardrobe. Reflecting the vitality of the streets of DR, Martinez poses in a color suitable for strolling along the waterfront. Filmed by Sam Gold, each frame tells the connection between Martinez and the island she calls home.

From the Latino Tradition Month, a celebration of Latino culture across the crossroads, this project highlights Martinez's relationship with her culture and the influence that has influenced her craftsmanship. Often, dialogue around Latin culture minimizes a large number of identities, thereby further marginalizing the community. Martinez was very proud of his origin and continued to occupy space abroad, taking away the debris from the island. In an exclusive interview, the talented model answered questions about her culture, mentality and sustainability.

What is your connection with the Dominican Republic?

In addition to the fact that it is my country of origin, it should be noted that it is one of the warmest islands in the Caribbean.

How would you describe your mentality in the Caribbean?

This is the best way to feel, and there is nothing better than at home.

Fashion is beginning to adopt sustainable practices and focus on ethical production. Can you talk about your personal relationship with sustainable development?

I really like buying unique items instead of buying new things crazy every day. I think this is something we need to avoid because most people have too many unused clothes and then have to throw them away. Shopping in second-hand stores or frugal is also something I like.

This beautiful shooting took place at El Valley Lodge, a hotel experience rooted in sustainable development. Compared with the United States, how do the Caribbean and the Dominican Republic deal with these practices based on your experience?

A very different experience, the super beautiful connection with nature has always been one of the most popular places in DR.

When do you feel most carefree?

This is one of my favorite things to stay at home when I am on the beach.

Calvy Click is famous for designing such beautiful images through the wardrobe. I hope you will give a detailed account of your experience with her? What is your favorite part of the styling process?

It was a very pleasant experience, a very professional person, a person who loves her work, and it is a pleasure to work with her, everything flows so organically.

What is the misunderstanding of the Caribbean?

I believe in disrespecting the facts of other people’s ideas or differences.

Do you have any family advice to help you complete your work?

This is not a suggestion. I think this has always been the teaching of where we arrive. We must always remain true, always define our values ​​and ideals, and the most important thing is to love you, enjoy everything in the moment, and be yourself.

Kid Cudi is a versatile man-musician, producer, actor, and now he can confidently earn the title of "Official Atmosphere Curator". This notorious artist has 7 re-releaseable albums and knows how to hold parties, which is not surprising because of the relaxed and carefree attitude he conveys in music and daily life. "Entergalatic Party" is a new late-night experience where Kid Cudi and Richie Akiva gather all over the world, the last time it was held during Paris Fashion Week. The name is likely to be inspired by his 2009 hit song "Entergalatic", which was driven by the act of falling into a deep psychedelic state to help escape the prison of our reality-an ordinary party participant can now The manifested state of their physical realm.

Cudi and a group of New York A-lists and close people came to the 101st floor of Hudson Yard Edge for a strictly costume-only Halloween party. In order to maintain the correct atmosphere, all attendees prepared costumes and performed performances. The free bar and holographic vinyl records plastered with holographic vinyls made me spend a psychedelic night. Me, Logan Paul, Toby Mcguire, A$AP Ferg and Lil Nas X surrounded the DJ booth and listened to Kid Cudi’s performance. The purpose of "pursuing happiness" feels for the third time. This experience has a matrix effect, allowing you to be completely immersed in the essence of Cudi's planning for this specific experience. A deliberate incident that keeps you awake all night to see what happens next.

This is indeed something that can only be experienced in real time, personal connections and interpersonal interactions are far from superficial, making it reflect the entire content of Cudi and Akiva. If you can pass through this door, it must be a scenic line. If you can't, you can view the missing pictures.

Located in the Sonoran Desert is the Salton Sea, a vast area of ​​water that exudes the smell of decay and is often referred to as a garbage dump. Agricultural runoff increases the salinity of the ocean and creates an uninhabitable environment for most organisms. This seemingly unpopular California has a vibrant art scene that connects communities around the area, attracts international attention and forms a cultural beacon.

The Salton Sea is located about an hour’s drive south of Joshua Tree National Park and is adjacent to two enclaves for individuals seeking a disconnect from modern society, Bancheng and Mumbai Beach. Slab City, better known as The Slabs, is the opposite of the social structure as a haven for anti-government sentiments. This anarchic territory is called the "Last Place of Freedom" in the United States, inspiring resourceful art forms that maximize the use of materials from the region. Nomads, free thinkers, and hermit communities continue the region’s heritage centered on eclectic art, including the sacred monument Salvation Mountain created by Leonard Knight and the collection Sculptures made of metal and scrap at the Museum of Eastern Jesus Art. Various art forms such as graffiti, sculpture and storytelling connect Slab City to the shores of Mumbai Beach, a desolate town that is promoting restoration.

Newly’s art installations and the increase in tourism have sparked a conversation about the declining state of Mumbai’s beaches, alluding to a focus on the revival of art, which pushes boundaries while remaining weird. The charm of Mumbai Beach depends not only on the quirky sculptures and culture of the community, but also on the strangeness of the Salton Sea. "This is an oasis. I know you will like it here," a man said as I walked towards the quaint town. The artist and filmmaker Tauruspoli succeeded in maintaining the charm of the ocean and stimulating the culture and economy of the scene. The establishment of Airbnb rental houses allows tourists to experience the mysterious charm and directly benefit small communities from profits. In addition, Ruspoli invites locals to display works of art in the cultural center, expanding the work norms that make the area so unique.

This mysterious charm makes this part of the Sonoran Desert a place of witness. The pink sunset, silence and isolation define this mysterious ocean. The surrounding communities make this California a place far away from local surveillance and the plight of modern society. From Slab City to Mumbai Beach, the goal of the locals is to maintain a sense of anonymity and seclusion in the area. "I moved here from Orange County ten years ago. I live here with my boyfriend. We always wanted to leave, and the financial crisis forced us to leave. My daughter thinks we are crazy, but she lives in Los Angeles, in a tech Company work. This place is amazing and I like the people I meet, "I sparked a conversation and said it was a local. Although this fascinating place has a lot to offer, the art scene continues to evolve and continues to provide new insights and expand people's appreciation of this remote cultural center.

"French Express" brings us into a world full of crackling and smoky typewriters. In his tenth feature film, Wes Anderson (Wes Anderson) gushed about the nostalgia for journalism in the 20th century. This anthology film is set in a fictional French city, centered on the staff of a small magazine publication. They highlight 3 main stories from the past ten years.

The reporters recalled the stories of imprisoned artistic geniuses, the radical student riots of Timothy Chalamet, and the stories of luxury chefs involved in high-risk kidnappings. In typical Wes Anderson's work, every frame and every moment is perfectly constructed as a puzzle of "French Express".

With a series of signatures meticulously planned by the director, the star-studded cast brings his whimsical world to life. From regular Anderson guests like Bill Murray and Owen Wilson to newcomers including Francis McDormand and Timothy Chalamet, these are just a few of the first-line actors associated with the film.

Although the anthology structure was the first time for a filmmaker, he did not hesitate to take all the film skills out of his quirky sleeve. The triple narrative borrows a variety of techniques, including different aspect ratios, contrasting color palettes, and even an animated car chase sequence. Although Wes Anderson's directorship has been consolidated since the beginning of his career, "French Express" may be his best Wes Anderson movie to date. 

"French Task Force" will be released in various locations on October 29th.
