RETOUCHER: RUSSEL DENNIS @russeldennis.postproduction

Growing up in Colombia, what first inspired your passion for fashion and modeling?

Growing up in Colombia , fashion was always a way for me to express myself. I was fascinated by how clothing, beauty, and confidence could tell a story without saying a word. From a young age, I loved photography, magazines, and everything related to fashion, and that curiosity eventually turned into a passion.

Can you tell us about the moment you realized modeling was more than a dream and could become your career?

I think it became real the first time I traveled internationally for work. Being trusted by brands and creative teams abroad made me realize that modeling wasn’t just a dream—it was something I could build a career around through discipline, professionalism, and perseverance.

Your work has taken you to Miami, Istanbul, Spain, and Germany. How has each destination influenced you?

Each place taught me something different. Miami showed me the power of personal branding and networking. Istanbul exposed me to a unique blend of cultures and creativity. Spain taught me the beauty of effortless style, and Germany showed me the importance of professionalism and precision. Personally, these experiences made me more independent, adaptable, and open-minded.

with digital media, but I focus on evolving while staying aligned with my values and personality. I believe people connect with what’s real.

As both a model and content creator, how do these two creative roles complement one another?

Modeling allows me to bring brands’ visions to life, while content creation allows me to share my own. Together, they create a balance between creativity, storytelling, and personal connection with my audience.

How has social media impacted your career?

Social media has completely transformed the industry. It has given me the opportunity to connect directly with people around the world, build my personal brand, and collaborate with brands in a much more authentic and personal way.

“Authenticity means showing up as yourself, even in an industry centered around appearance.”

What were some of the biggest challenges you faced when building an international modeling career away from home?

Being away from family and navigating unfamiliar environments were definitely challenges. There were moments of uncertainty, rejection, and loneliness. But those experiences also taught me resilience and helped me grow both professionally and personally.

How have you adapted to changes in the fashion industry while staying true to yourself?

I’ve learned that authenticity never goes out of style. The industry changes constantly, especially

What does authenticity mean to you in an era where image and perception are often carefully curated?

Authenticity means showing up as yourself, even in an industry centered around appearance. It’s about being honest about the highs and lows, embracing imperfections, and sharing real experiences rather than trying to create a perfect image.

Who have been some of the mentors, creatives, or industry figures that have inspired you the most?

I’ve been inspired by many strong women in fashion who have built careers with grace and authenticity. But honestly, some of my biggest inspirations have been the photographers, stylists, creative directors, and mentors I’ve worked with throughout my journey who taught me the value of hard work and professionalism.

What qualities make a collaboration truly successful?

Trust, communication, creativity, and mutual respect. The best collaborations happen when everyone shares the same vision and genuinely wants to create something meaningful together.

What story are you hoping to tell through your work today?

I want to tell a story of confidence, ambition, and authenticity. I hope people see that success doesn’t happen overnight and that it’s possible to pursue big dreams while staying true to who you are.

How would you describe your personal style?

My style is feminine, elegant, and effortless. Over the years, I’ve become more confident in choosing pieces that reflect who I am rather than simply following trends.

In an industry that often pushes trends, how do you stay authentic to your vision?

Staying authentic has never felt like a challenge. It comes naturally when you are deeply anchored in who you are. Trends may shift, but identity, when it’s real, remains stable. We don’t follow trends, we create from within. And perhaps that’s the only way to truly stand apart.

What have you learned about confidence beyond what people see on the runway?

True confidence comes from within. It’s built through self-respect, resilience, and believing in yourself even when things don’t go as planned. Confidence isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being comfortable in your own skin.

Were there moments when resilience became especially important?

Absolutely. Every model experiences rejection at some point. I’ve learned that rejection doesn’t define your worth. The key is to keep showing up, keep improving, and trust the process.

What has been the most memorable project of your career so far, and why?

One of the most memorable parts of my career has been working internationally and representing Colombia abroad. Every campaign and photoshoot in a different country has helped

shape my journey and reminded me how grateful I am to do what I love.

What message do you hope young women take away from your journey?

Believe in yourself, work hard, and don’t let limitations define your dreams. Success looks different for everyone, and your uniqueness is often your greatest strength.

How do you balance a global career while maintaining your well-being and personal life?

Balance comes from setting boundaries and making time for the people and experiences that matter most. I prioritize my health, relationships, and personal growth just as much as my career.

What advice would you give to the younger María?

Trust yourself more. Stop worrying so much about what others think and enjoy the journey. Some of the best opportunities will come when you least expect them.

What exciting projects, goals, or ventures are you currently working on?

I’m continuing to expand my work as both a model and content creator while exploring new collaborations with fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands. I’m also focused on creating meaningful content that inspires and connects with my audience worldwide.

What do you hope people will remember about María Arango?

I hope people remember me as someone who pursued her dreams with passion, remained authentic, and used her platform to inspire others to believe in themselves. More than anything, I hope to be remembered for the person I was, not just the work I did.

“I prioritize my health, relationships, and personal growth just as much as my career.”

MANA POOLS, ZIMBABWE WHERE HAUTE COUTURE MEETS THE RAW UNTAMED EDGE OF AFRICA

There is a distinct moment in Mana Pools when the concept of time evaporates. It usually happens in the late afternoon, when the Zambezi River turns a reflective, liquid gold and the ancient albida trees cast long, structural shadows across the floodplains.

For the QP Fashion Magazine traveler, this UNESCO World Heritage site is the ultimate pilgrimage: a corner of the earth that refuses to be manicured, remaining fiercely beautiful, utterly private, and deeply soulful.

ONE OF AFRICA’S LAST GREAT WILDERNESSES

Unlike many safari destinations, Mana Pools remains largely undeveloped, preserving an atmosphere of genuine exploration and adventure. The park's remote location and limited visitor numbers create a rare sense of exclusivity, allowing travelers to experience Africa much as early explorers once did.

The landscape itself is mesmerizing. Ancient mahogany and albida trees line the riverbanks, while expansive floodplains stretch toward the distant mountains of Zambia across the Zambezi River. Every sunrise and sunset transforms the scenery into a masterpiece of light and color.

UNFORGETTABLE WILDLIFE ENCOUNTERS

Mana Pools is famous for its close wildlife encounters. The park is home to large populations of elephants, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, lions, leopards, wild dogs, and countless antelope species.

One of the reserve's most iconic sights is the famous "standing elephants" that balance on their hind legs to reach the nutritious seed pods hanging from albida trees. Photographers and wildlife enthusiasts travel from around the world to witness this extraordinary behavior.

The area also supports more than 350 bird species, making it a paradise for birdwatchers. African fish eagles, kingfishers, bee-eaters, herons, and colorful rollers can be spotted throughout the year.

WALKING SAFARIS

Mana Pools is widely regarded as one of the best destinations in Africa for guided walking safaris. Accompanied by expert guides, visitors can explore the bush on foot, gaining a deeper understanding of animal behavior, tracking techniques, and the delicate balance of the ecosystem.

CANOE ALONG THE ZAMBEZI

One of Mana Pools' most celebrated adventures is exploring the Zambezi River by canoe. Paddling past hippos, crocodiles, elephants, and abundant birdlife offers a unique perspective on the region's natural beauty.

The river moves at a gentle pace, allowing travelers to quietly drift through one of Africa's most spectacular landscapes while enjoying unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities.

LUXURY IN THE WILDERNESS

Despite its remote character, Mana Pools offers an impressive collection of intimate luxury camps and safari lodges. Many accommodations feature spacious tented suites, outdoor showers, private plunge pools, and gourmet dining experiences set against the backdrop of the African wilderness.

Guests can expect personalized service, expert guiding, and a seamless blend of comfort and adventure. Evenings often conclude around a campfire beneath a sky filled with countless stars, accompanied by the distant calls of wildlife.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND BIRDWATCHING

The combination of dramatic scenery, abundant wildlife, and exceptional light makes Mana Pools one of Africa's premier photographic destinations. Whether capturing elephants beneath towering trees or the golden reflections of the Zambezi at sunset, photographers will find endless inspiration.

BEST TIME TO VISIT

The ideal months are:

May – June: Cooler temperatures, lush landscapes following the rainy season, and excellent photographic conditions.

July – September: Prime safari season with pleasant weather and increasing wildlife concentrations around water sources.

October: Outstanding wildlife viewing as animals gather along the Zambezi River, although temperatures can be extremely hot.

Many safari enthusiasts consider August through October to be the most rewarding period for wildlife encounters.

GETTING THERE

Most visitors reach Mana Pools via charter flights from Harare or Victoria Falls, arriving at one of the park's nearby airstrips. Road transfers are also possible but require significantly more travel time.

The remote location is part of the destination's appeal, ensuring that visitors experience one of Africa's most pristine and uncrowded safari environments.

QP´S RECOMMENDATION

For travelers seeking a safari experience that combines adventure, exclusivity, and extraordinary natural beauty, Mana Pools is one of Africa 's most captivating destinations. Its untouched landscapes, world-class wildlife encounters, and intimate luxury camps create an atmosphere that feels both timeless and deeply authentic. Whether walking beside elephants beneath ancient trees, paddling along the legendary Zambezi River , or watching the African sunset paint the floodplains gold, Mana Pools delivers a wilderness experience that remains long after the journey ends.

BEYOND THE PRETTY BOTTLE NOT EVERYTHING THAT PROMISES TRANSFORMATION DESERVES YOUR ATTENTION

BY TEAL DRUDA

While the global skincare industry was valued at a staggering USD 178 billion in 2026 and is expected to nearly double over the next decade, I found myself, like many of us do, standing under unforgiving lighting in a Los Angeles Sephora, staring at a wall of promises and thinking: "Are we actually getting better skin, or just getting better at buying into it?"

Because if you have stepped into a beauty store recently, you will know exactly what I mean. It is a kind of visual chaos. “Glass skin.” “Clean.” “Non-comedogenic.” “Anti-aging.” “Acne clearing.” Each product seemingly promising that it holds the answer.

And the truth is, some of them do. Just not in the way we have been led to believe.

THE ANATOMY OF A MODERN OBSESSION

Skincare has resoundingly evolved from a basic routine (think Ponds Cold Cream) into something closer to a lifestyle (all the GRWM videos). Part science, part ritual, part identity. We do not just use products anymore, we curate them. Collect and display them. Swear by them, even.

But beneath the branding and the beautifully packaged bottles, your skin is still doing what it has always done. Your skin is (arguably) your largest organ. It protects you, regulates your temperature, heals itself, and responds, sometimes dramatically, to stress, environment, hormones, and of course, what you put on it.

Dryness, breakouts, sensitivity, they are not random acts of rebellion. They are your skin’s way of communicating. Often hollering that something is off balance, and it might not always be solved by skincare. Diet, stress, and hormones are another conversation entirely, so for now, we’ll stay with skincare.

Which brings us to the real question. What can skincare actually do?

THE REALITY CHECK, THE GOOD KIND

Moisture Surge™ 100h

Auto-Replenishing Hydrator CLINIQUE

Well formulated skincare can absolutely make a difference. It can hydrate your skin in a way that makes it look smoother and more luminous. It can help to support your barrier so that it stops overreacting to everything. It can help calm inflammation, which is, quite honestly, behind a surprising number of skin concerns. It can even, with consistency, help improve tone and texture in a meaningful and very visible way. What it cannot do is rewrite time overnight… it is not a magic wand; it is a quiet partner in your routine that helps to improve what skin issues you are already working with and help soften the early signs of time.

No cream is going to erase ten years in a few minutes (sorry mall kiosk sales people), no matter how elegantly it is packaged or promoted. However, over time, the right products can make your skin look like you sleep well, eat consciously, and give you a slightly unfair youthful glow.

Which, if we are being honest, is what most of us are after.

THE THREE WORLDS OF SKINCARE

Once you strip away the language, most products fall into three distinct categories:

The Botanical Ritualists . This is skincare at its most sensory. Plant oils, herbal infusions, florals that make you pause for a moment before applying. It is less about urgency and more about the experience.

Active Botanical Serum VINTNER'S DAUGHTER

100% Organic ColdPressed Rose Hip Seed Oil THE ORDINARY

These products nourish the skin, soften it, and give that immediate, almost cinematic glow. But on their own, they tend to work gently and gradually. More supportive than any sort of overhaul.

The Clinical Minimalists . Here you will find ingredients that sound less romantic but tend to be more direct. Ceramides, peptides, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid. These are no fluff, barrier focused formulas often absent of fragrance, drying oils, and unnecessary fillers. In other words, carefully formulated to reinforce your skin’s structure and function.

Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer LA ROCHE-POSAY

Lait-crème concentré EMBRYOLISSE

This category often delivers visible improvement, but sometimes at the expense of experience. It works, but it does not always feel like luxury.

The Modern Hybrid . This is where the industry is clearly heading, and where things finally start to make sense.

Formulas that marry botanical properties with clinical performance. Products that feel beautiful to use, but also hold their own in terms of results.

Anti-Age L'Intégral SISLEŸA

Protini™ Polypeptide Cream DRUNK ELEPHANT

It is the best of both worlds. Skin that looks better, and a ritual that feels intentional rather than obligatory.

A FEW WORDS THAT DESERVE LESS POWER

Somewhere along the way, a handful of terms became the backbone of skincare marketing. They are not entirely meaningless, but they are often misunderstood.

“Clean” has no universal definition. It is a philosophy, not a guarantee.

“Non comedogenic” means less likely to clog pores, not impossible.

“Hypoallergenic” means designed to reduce reactions, not eliminate them.

“Anti-aging” is so broad that even a basic moisturizer qualifies.

In other words, useful, as a basic guideline, but nothing that should be taken as law.

THE QUIET SHIFT HAPPENING NOW

For all the noise, I believe that something interesting is happening beneath the surface.

People are simplifying.

Not because they have stopped caring, but because they have realized that more is not necessarily better. That ten steps can easily become too much of a good thing. That over exfoliation, over layering, and over correcting can often lead to the very issues we are trying to fix or address.

The most effective approach, from my experience, is surprisingly restrained. Fewer products, better formulations, and a deeper understanding of what your skin actually needs. It is a philosophy echoed even at the formulation level, where thoughtfully chosen ingredients consistently outperform excessive buzz ingredients.

Vinopure Purifying Gel Cleanser CAUDALIE

Intensive Cica Repair Cream IVOSKIN

The Gold Serum ALITURA

Acne Control Daily Moisturizer VICHY - NORMADERM

A ROUTINE THAT RESPECTS YOUR TIME AND YOUR SKIN

At the end of the day, a strong routine does not need to be complicated. My personal favorites are not necessarily the most expensive or heavily marketed. We all have different needs to take into consideration, so I’m not saying these are the right answer for everyone, just ones that I’ve found my older, sundamaged skin has shown great results from using.

MORNING

A gentle cleanse - Caudalie - Vinopure Purifying Gel Cleanser

An antioxidant or hydrating serum - Alitura - The Gold Serum

A moisturizer that supports your barrier - Ivoskin

Intensive Cica Repair Cream - or for when I get acne

Vichy - Normaderm Acne Control Daily moisturizer

EVENING

A proper deep cleanse, this is where most routines succeed or fail - Anua - Heartleaf & BHA deep cleansing foam

One targeted treatment oil or serum - for acne I suggest Vichy

A nourishing cream to finish - I love the Medicube Triple Collagen Cream for my dry skin

WHERE ARE WE HEADED???

This past decade was really about expansion, more products, more steps, more promises, the next decade will likely be about refinement.

Barrier health is finally being prioritized. Ingredient literacy is rising. And skincare is returning, in many ways, to something more grounded. A daily act of care rather than a constant attempt to fix.

Which to me feels, frankly, like a relief.

FINAL THOUGHT

Good skin is not built on chasing every new launch or believing every beautifully packaged claim. It is built on paying attention.

Skin can be fickle, and we all, for the most part, still have breakouts and issues to address. So, paying attention to how it responds is key. Learn what your skin is saying, or sometimes screaming, when it needs less, more and time to settle into a new routine.

Because more often than not, the moment you stop trying everything is the moment your skin starts to settle into itself.

And that is when it looks its best.

THE WHITE EDIT: CRISP PIECES FOR HIGH SUMMER

DISCOVER THE SEASON'S MOST SOPHISTICATED WAY TO DRESS IN WHITE

There is something undeniably captivating about an all-white wardrobe in the height of summer. Clean, effortless, and endlessly sophisticated, white reflects the season's lightness while offering a blank canvas for personal style. Whether interpreted through minimalist tailoring, breezy daywear, or striking evening silhouettes, monochromatic dressing in white remains one of fashion's most enduring warm-weather statements.

This season, designers are embracing the purity of white with renewed focus, delivering collections that balance modern simplicity with refined craftsmanship. From crisp cotton poplin to sculptural accessories, the key to mastering head-to-toe white lies in mixing textures, proportions, and silhouettes while maintaining a cohesive palette.

THE FOUNDATION: ELEVATED EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS

The cornerstone of any summer-white wardrobe begins with impeccable separates and versatile dresses. A standout example is the cotton poplin dress from Jil Sander . Known for its architectural approach to minimalism, the house transforms a seemingly simple garment into a masterclass in precision tailoring. The structured silhouette and crisp fabrication create a look that feels both contemporary and timeless. Pairing a white dress with understated accessories allows the craftsmanship to take center stage. The result is effortless elegance suitable for city strolls, seaside lunches, or weekend escapes.

TAILORING TAKES A SUMMER TURN

White tailoring continues to dominate both runways and street style, offering a polished alternative to traditional summer dressing. The tailored vest from Max Mara exemplifies the trend beautifully. Sharp lines, impeccable construction, and a lightweight feel make it ideal for layering over fluid trousers or coordinating with matching shorts. For a modern approach, wear the vest as a standalone top paired with wide-leg linen trousers and minimal jewelry. The look feels powerful without appearing overly formal—a hallmark of contemporary luxury.

THE NEW MINI

For those seeking a more playful interpretation of white dressing, Jacquemus delivers one of the season's standout pieces: the white mini dress. The French designer continues to celebrate sensuality through clean lines and innovative proportions, creating garments that feel both youthful and sophisticated. Whether styled with flat sandals for daytime or elevated with statement accessories for evening, the white mini dress offers remarkable versatility throughout the summer months.

FINISHING TOUCHES: SCULPTURAL ACCESSORIES

Accessories play a crucial role in adding dimension to monochromatic dressing. This season, Alaïa 's sculptural sandals provide the perfect finishing touch. Renowned for combining artistry with wearability, the house introduces footwear that serves as both accessory and conversation piece. The sculptural detailing creates visual interest while preserving the clean aesthetic that defines the all-white look. Paired with flowing dresses, tailored separates, or evening ensembles, these sandals elevate even the simplest outfit.

WHITE AFTER DARK

Perhaps the greatest misconception about white is that it belongs exclusively to daytime dressing. In reality, white can be just as impactful after sunset. A structured mini dress, a sharply tailored vest-andtrouser combination, or a dramatic floor-length silhouette creates an unforgettable evening statement. The secret lies in texture. Crisp cottons, luxurious silks, intricate embroidery, and sculptural accessories prevent monochromatic looks from appearing flat. Gold jewelry, metallic accents, and refined beauty choices further enhance the sophistication of an allwhite ensemble.

THE VERDICT

As temperatures rise, few fashion choices feel as fresh and confident as an all-white wardrobe. The trend transcends fleeting seasonal moments, offering a timeless formula that can be adapted to virtually any occasion. Whether through the minimalist precision of Jil Sander, the refined tailoring of Max Mara, the playful femininity of Jacquemus, or the sculptural artistry of Alaïa, this season's white pieces prove that simplicity often makes the strongest statement. In a world increasingly drawn to excess, white remains fashion's ultimate expression of quiet confidence—clean, modern, and effortlessly chic.
