There’s a certain electricity in the air this May—an energy that speaks to reinvention, movement, and the art of elevating the everyday. At QP FASHION MAGAZINE, we’ve always believed that fashion is not just about what you wear, but how you live. This issue is a reflection of that philosophy: dynamic, refined, and unapologetically forward.

Gracing our cover is the striking CAILIN ALYSSA, a modern muse who channels the timeless allure of the supermodel era while embodying a distinctly contemporary edge. With her effortless presence and undeniable strength, CAILIN represents a new generation of talent—one that honors the past while confidently shaping the future.

Inside, we sit down with ELISSA FREIHA, whose vision and voice continue to redefine what it means to be a Middle Eastern woman navigating both creativity and entrepreneurship today. Her story is one of purpose, resilience, and global perspective. We also feature THE GEORS, a creative force pushing boundaries and blurring lines between art, identity, and expression—reminding us that true style begins where convention ends.

Our travel destination this month takes you to the sun-drenched shores of SAINT BARTHÉLEMY, where understated luxury meets CARIBBEAN charm. It’s a place where time slows down just enough for you to reconnect—with beauty, with nature, and with yourself. Consider this your invitation to escape.

On the fashion front, we explore SPORT, ELEVATED—a celebration of athletic influence reimagined through a high-fashion lens. This is not simply about activewear; it’s about power, precision, and polish. From tailored silhouettes to performance-inspired fabrics, sport becomes sophistication.

As always, this issue is curated with intention—for those who seek inspiration, who appreciate craftsmanship, and who understand that style is a language all its own.

ELISSA FREIHA UNMUTING THE NARRATIVE

Interview by JOSE-MARIA JIMENEZ

In a world saturated with headlines yet starved of depth, Elissa Freiha has built something far more radical than a platform—she has created a lens. Through Womena , Elissa challenges the inherited gaze placed upon Middle Eastern women, replacing it with stories rooted in truth, contradiction, and lived experience. Her work is not about reframing perception through polished empowerment, but about dismantling it altogether—revealing a spectrum of voices that are as nuanced as they are powerful. At its core lies a simple yet transformative belief: that perspective is shaped by exposure, and that storytelling can quietly, yet decisively, rewrite the narrative.

Across film, photography, and intimate conversation, Elissa ’s approach resists simplification. From projects like Every Two Weeks to the culturally resonant Mish Mankoosha , her storytelling humanizes what has long been reduced to stereotype. But perhaps what sets her apart is her insistence on complexity—not inspiration as spectacle, but as something deeply relatable, imperfect, and real. In this conversation, Elissa reflects on visibility as freedom, the responsibility of nuance, and why the world must begin to listen—not just passively, but with empathy. Because, as she reminds us, the most urgent shift is not in what is being said, but in whether we are willing to truly hear it.

TALENT: ELISSA FREIHA @freyha

You founded Womena with the mission of amplifying authentic female voices from the Middle East. What moment or realization first inspired you to create the platform?

I realized that the only thing stopping women from being considered equal was perspective. Perspective is created and changed through stories and exposure. I wanted to counter people’s prejudices by simply telling the real stories of the women of our region.

Over the past decade, you’ve worked to bring forward stories from women in Iran and across the region that are often unheard globally. Why do you believe visibility itself can be a form of freedom?

In telling the stories we tell and showcasing the diversity of women’s experiences in the region, we humanize The Other , and challenge existing reductive stereotypes. We expand people’s understanding of who we are.

Womena has never positioned itself as performative empowerment. How did you ensure that the platform remained authentic and grounded in real experiences rather than polished narratives?

To be honest, we did this through ‘feeling’. We never tried to construct a narrative: We simply aimed to show the reality of lived experience. We can tell when we’re facing an inauthentic presentation and we dig until we get to something real. It’s never about hitting a quota of stories so we’re not rushed into publishing something just for the sake of it.

both tackling the challenging shift away from colonized western beauty standards and towards embracing natural beauty. These have been so well received both by commercial audiences but also by academics who use them in universities in the US.

Your work spans multiple storytelling mediums—documentaries, photography, written articles, and podcasts. How do you decide which format best serves a story?

Context, logistics, and existing IP. We ask ourselves how can we get to the heart of the matter? Where is this story taking place? Who is telling this story? Do we have an existing format that it fits into? Or do we want it to stand alone? What's the most powerful way for an audience to absorb this story? What format will allow for the storyteller to be most authentic in their skin? Lastly, for our wildest stand alone projects, we usually get there by following what we truly dream of and what others may not dare to do but wish existed!

“I wanted to counter people’s prejudices by simply telling the real stories of the women of our region.”

Many people outside the region still hold outdated stereotypes about Middle Eastern women. What are some of the most powerful stories that have challenged those perceptions?

We have a couple projects that have caused a lot of noise in the festival space; One multi-award winning short film called Every Two Weeks, as well as a documentary called Mish Mankoosha,

As the host of Sage Takes Thyme, you often discuss identity, leadership, and healing. What conversations have surprised or moved you the most?

Our exploration of collective cultures versus individualistic cultures surprised me quite a bit. As an Arab-American who grew up in Europe , I never looked at those societies through those lenses and it hit me how much I missed out in by growing up in an individualistic culture like France . Being named to Forbes 30 Under 30 is a significant recognition. How did that milestone influence your perspective on leadership and responsibility?

If I'm honest, not much. It was more of a snapshot of the multiple individuals building the Middle East tech ecosystem at that time. I felt like I was recognized with a class of changemakers that I was seing put the work in every day and it made me excited to watch us all grow up and see where we could get too.

In your talks and keynotes around the world,

you often emphasize the importance of nuanced storytelling. Why do you think nuance is especially important when discussing women from the Middle East?

I think nuance is especially important. Period. We have lost the ability to see nuance and to understand context. We reduce people to headlines, click bait or stereotypes far too often today, and Arab women are examples of it. Not only does the media regularly reduce them to numbers and statistics but they entirely ignore their humanity, agency and complexity. Arab women are some of the most resilient people on the planet and have so much to teach the world. It’s crucial we start adding nuance and depth to their stories.

Womena highlights women as complex individuals—ambitious, conflicted, joyful, healing. Why is it important to embrace this complexity instead of portraying women as purely inspirational figures?

Because inspiration is not as effective without relatability. Inspiration needs relatability and imperfections and complexities and little details are relatable. They make us see ourselves in The Other and that is the most powerful tool for change.

Social media has changed how stories travel across borders. How has it shaped the way Womena connects global audiences with voices from the region?

Social media is now a necessary community touchstone. As Womena we are then beholden to the Gods of the Algorithms and must work through the system to educate against the system. It means we have to work harder, be more creative and spend more to reach people. It means our work is often suppressed or shadow banned I line and we have to rely more on word of mouth or offline efforts for our audience to stay active. Which we do well. Wherever and whenever we want to host a Womena event, we know we will bring a big engaged beautiful vibrant group of people

together.

In your experience, what are some of the biggest misconceptions global audiences still have about feminism in the Middle East?

Audiences are often ignorant of any feminist efforts coming from the region. If anything, they assume feminism is something being imposed by outside parties for geopolitical influence. It’s also ironic that people celebrate the fight for feminism in the Arab world because they see it as needed in the region whilst often ignoring that their countries need it too!

Your work also touches on the emotional side of leadership and entrepreneurship. What lessons have you learned about building something meaningful without burning out?

Compassion. I’ve learned that compassionate leadership is essential and radical in capitalism where we are often told to exploit others in favour of more profit and productivity. Compassion is at the center of the work we do and we live by this value as a team.

Many of the women featured on Womena are redefining leadership in their communities. What qualities do you believe define the next generation of female leaders in the region?

Resilience, Community-mindedness, And an over all holistic approach to any problem solving.

Storytelling has the power to shape culture. How do you hope Womena will influence the way the world sees Middle Eastern women ten years from now?

I hope the world sees us as humans. That they root for us, celebrate us, are inspired by us, and hurt for us, the way they would for their own mothers and sisters.

For young women in the region who want to tell their own stories but feel hesitant or unheard, what advice would you offer them?

Living your truth and sharing it can feel like the scariest thing in the world. Objectively, the world faces way worse problems than you being

authentic and those around you will adapt if you impose yourself from a place of unwavering self belief.

As someone deeply immersed in women’s narratives, what themes keep emerging again and again in the stories you encounter?

Evolution and transformation. Women are forced to learn and control so many aspects of themselves that they’ve evolved a certain wayand then they unlearn and unravel it all. We, as being ebb and flow and shift our whole lives and each change brings new profound insight.

Fashion and identity are often intertwined, especially in regions where clothing can carry social or political meaning. How do you see style and self-expression intersecting with the stories of women you feature?

The women in the middle east are the most elegant, stylish, cool, boundary bending fashion trendsetters in history. Style is ESSENTIAL to self expression and truth and the women of womena are fabulously committed to both.

Your work brings warmth and humor into conversations that can be deeply serious. Why do you think humor is such an important tool in storytelling and healing?

Humour gets to the heart of any matter in ways

that seriousness cannot. In fact humour is a tool for seriousness to hit even harder. When we name things as they are we remove power from them. Being Lebanese, I've proudly perfected this: we can find humour in ANYTHING and that gives us back the power to overcome whatever is presented to us.

Looking back at your journey with Womena, what has been the most personally transformative moment for you?

There are too many to count and everyone of them is because my team showed up for me. Being held and supported by your company is rarely a given founders have, but my team has literally helped me through every major growing pain of the last decade. That has reaffirmed my faith in humanity when so many things in the world try to take it away.

Finally, what stories from the Middle East do you believe the world most urgently needs to hear right now?

The world needs to hear us. Point blank, period, end of sentence. The world has turned deaf to our cries and our stories. They need to hear us all. We’re everywhere, accessible and speaking every language, crying out for you to listen. Please press unmute.

SAINT BARTHÉLEMY, CARIBBEAN WHERE SUMMER LIVES FOREVER

In Saint Barthélemy , summer is not a season—it’s a state of mind. Tucked discreetly in the French West Indies , this sun-drenched enclave has long been the playground of those who prefer their luxury whispered, not shouted. Here, white-sand beaches dissolve into impossibly clear turquoise waters, while hillside villas offer panoramic views that feel almost cinematic in their perfection.

What sets St. Barth apart is its effortless duality: relaxed yet refined, intimate yet undeniably glamorous. Days unfold slowly between long lunches and salt-kissed swims, while nights come alive in candlelit restaurants and beach clubs where fashion feels instinctive rather than curated. It’s less about being seen—and more about belonging to a world where elegance is second nature.

WHERE TO STAY

Eden Rock St Barths — Iconic, vibrant, and impossibly chic, perched above the turquoise waters of St. Jean.

Cheval Blanc St-Barth Isle de France — A study in French elegance with impeccable service and serene beachfront villas.

Le Toiny — Ultra-private, understated luxury with a wild coastline backdrop.

WHERE TO BE SEEN

Nikki Beach Saint Barth — The epicenter of barefoot glamour, where champagne meets sun-kissed skin. Shellona — Effortless Mediterranean flair with a Caribbean twist.

Gustavia — The island’s heart, where luxury boutiques and harbor views set the tone for twilight.

WHAT TO EXPERIENCE

Colombier Beach — Accessible only by boat or hike, offering untouched, editorial-perfect seclusion.

Private yacht day — The only way to truly capture the island’s cinematic coastline.

Sunset in Gustavia — Golden hour here feels like a perfectly lit fashion shoot.

THE QP PERSPECTIVE

Saint Barthélemy doesn’t demand attention—it commands it quietly. It’s a destination that doesn’t try to impress, because it doesn’t have to. For the May issue, it offers something rare: a place where luxury feels instinctive, style feels effortless, and every frame—whether captured on camera or memory—carries the unmistakable glow of a world just slightly out of reach.

FASHION DIRECTION

Think resort minimalism with a sensual edge. Flowing silks, sheer linens, and sculptural swimwear dominate the visual language. Neutral tones—ivory, sand, sun-faded gold—are punctuated by bold black accents and oversized sunglasses. Accessories remain intentional: woven textures, fine gold jewelry, and leather sandals that transition seamlessly from beach to dinner.

THE GEORS TWIN FREQUENCIES

Interview by JOSE-MARIA JIMENEZ

Emerging from the intersection of sound, style, and instinct, THE GEORS embody a rare kind of artistic duality—two individuals creating as one, seamlessly. From their beginnings in North Macedonia to electrifying international stages from Ibiza to Tokyo , the twin duo has cultivated a presence that feels both deliberate and deeply intuitive. Their evolution is not marked by a singular turning point, but by a steady, almost meditative expansion—one that unfolds through music, movement, and the invisible thread that connects them to every audience they encounter.

Rooted in classical piano yet driven by tribal rhythms and immersive storytelling, THE GEORS blur the lines between performance and experience. Their aesthetic—dark, sensual, and intentional—extends seamlessly into fashion, modeling, and design, forming a cohesive identity that transcends medium. In this conversation, they reflect on the power of authenticity, the intimacy of twinhood as a creative engine, and the philosophy that fuels their rise: not chasing difference, but protecting it.

TALENT: THE GEORS @the_geors

You’ve evolved from small-town beginnings in North Macedonia to international stages—what defining moment made you realize this journey was truly happening?

It was never a single moment that ignited this journey, it was the journey itself unfolding with a quiet intensity from the very beginning. Our enthusiasm has never been episodic; it’s constant, almost instinctive. Every stage, every shared frequency between us and the crowd, every fleeting yet powerful exchange of energy has shaped us. To live this way, to continuously rediscover ourselves through music, through movement, through culture - is, to us, the purest form of being alive. There’s something sacred in that repetition of self-discovery.

Your foundation in classical piano is central to your sound—how does that discipline influence your high-energy DJ sets today?

If there is one trait we hold close, both within ourselves and in others, it is discipline. It was cultivated early, through piano, through drawing, through the stillness required by visual arts. Piano was our first language of emotion, and in many ways, it still is. Even as we step into highvoltage chaotic DJ environments, there remains a deep reverence for the timeless intimacy of classical sound. Discipline is not restrictive, it’s liberating. It gave structure to our energy, and from that structure everything else evolved.

what creates distinction.

As twins, your connection is unique. How does that bond translate creatively when you're performing or producing music together?

Being sisters within this space transcends collaboration, its alignment on a fundamental level. From early on, our visions didn’t just match they amplified each other. There is a rare kind of clarity in sharing the same dream, in building something that feels indivisible. The world often celebrates destinations, but we’ve come to understand that the essence lies in companionship. The stages, the sound, the creative process; these are all extensions of something deeper that exists between us.

“Entering the fashion world at a young age gave us something invaluable: a foundation of confidence.”

The fusion of tribal beats with live piano elements feels very intentional—how would you describe the emotional experience you aim to create for your audience?

Difference is not something we chase it’s something we protect. The most compelling form anyone can embody is their original state, untouched and unapologetic. Our sets reflect that philosophy: a deliberate fusion of tribal and afro elements, intertwined with piano textures. It’s not a combination for the sake of novelty, it’s where we genuinely exist. That authenticity is

You began painting portraits at a young age—does visual art still play a role in shaping your music or fashion aesthetics?

Art in its essence is limitless. It continuously expands beyond what we can define. For us, the intersection of visual and sonic expression creates something far more immersive. Painting, for example, becomes a way of understanding each other on a deeper level, it sharpens perception, refines emotion. That same sensitivity translates into our music and aesthetic. Each medium speaks differently, yet they all echo the same core.

Your performances span countries from Ibiza to the Balkans—how do different cultures influence your sound and stage presence?

Exploring cultures is endlessly inspiring, but what fascinates us most is the paradox within it, the diversity of expression paired with the consistency of energy. No matter the city, the language, the background, the dancefloor becomes a shared pulse. Culture shapes perspective, but energy is something we co-create with the crowd in real time. That connection, that exchange is what defines the experience.

Having started in modeling at just sixteen, how did the fashion industry shape your confidence and artistic identity?

Entering the fashion world at a young age gave us something invaluable: a foundation of

@wilhelminalosangeles @maisonpriveepr_la

confidence. It shaped not only how we present ourselves, but how we carry our identity across different creative fields. Visual presence and artistic boldness are deeply intertwined. Modeling continues to be part of our journey not as a separate path, but as an extension of the same creative force that drives our music.

You’ve worked across major fashion capitals like Milan, Tokyo, and New York—how do these cities differ in their creative energy?

Every place carries its own creative signature, its own rhythm, its own aesthetic language. Yet beneath all those differences lies something universal. Art transcends geography. It communicates in ways that don’t require translation. What we cherish most is originality in all its forms, and through travel, we encounter endless variations of it. It refines us, challenges us, expands us.

Fashion is clearly a strong extension of your brand—how would you define “The Geors” aesthetic?

The Geors exist in a space that is enigmatic, sensual, and shadowed with a certain darkness; yet always precise, always intentional. There’s a subtle edge of the unexpected, balanced with confidence and unapologetic presence.

Your collaboration with the Gianni Geor eyewear brand highlights your entrepreneurial side—what inspired you to step into design?

Our journey into design was inevitable, but Gianni Geor marked its conscious emergence. It’s not just a brand, it’s an alter ego, a parallel form of expression. Through it, we explore identity in a more tactile, visual dimension. It allows us to extend our artistic language beyond sound.

As Pisces, emotion and intuition are often associated with your sign—do you consciously channel that into your creative work?

Emotion and intuition are central to everything we create. They don’t sit in the background, they lead. Music, for us, is one of the most powerful mediums to translate these inner states into something tangible. It’s where intellect meets feeling, where identity becomes sound. Through it, we connect.

Your sets are described as immersive experiences—what’s your process when preparing for a performance?

Preparing for a performance is a layered process both precise and fluid. We are involved in every detail, from curating the sonic journey to shaping the visual narrative. It’s not just about playing music, it’s about constructing an experience. The energy between us, the connection with the audience, the aesthetic coherence; it all matters. Every performance is a world we build from the ground up.

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.

Social media plays a major role in modern artistry—how do you balance digital presence with real-world creativity?

The digital era has transformed the way art lives and travels. Today, expression is not confined, it’s immediate, global, accessible. There’s a certain beauty in being able to share energy across continents with a single click. It’s a different kind of stage, but a lot powerful.

What has been the most challenging part of navigating multiple industries—music, fashion, and entrepreneurship—at such a young age?

Moving between music, fashion, and entrepreneurship requires precision but also

“Modeling continues to be part of our journey not as a separate path, but as an extension of the same creative force that drives our music.”

adaptability. It is complex, yes, but complexity is something we are drawn to. At their core, these worlds are not separate, they are different manifestations of the same identity. Once you understand that, navigation becomes more intuitive.

You’ve already performed for thousands—what has been your most unforgettable show so far, and why?

No single performance stands above the rest. Each one carries its own atmosphere, its own story, its own emotional imprint. What unites them is the intensity, the shared joy, the immersion, the unfiltered moments that happen when everything aligns. Every show becomes unforgettable in its own way

As women in the electronic music scene, have you faced any unique challenges, and how have you overcome them?

Being women in electronic music today feels less like a limitation and more like momentum. There is a visible shift, an openness, a demand for female voices. Challenges exist, but they are part of the artistic journey itself, not defined by gender.

Looking ahead, are there any dream collaborations—musical or fashion—that you hope to bring to life?

There are artists we admire, of course collaborations that would feel natural. But our deeper focus remains internal: refining our own expression, pushing it further, making it more precise, more intense. Growth, for us, is not dependent on proximity to others; it’s driven from within.

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

At its core, this journey is about exploration. About embracing both control and chaos. About finding yourself and losing yourself simultaneously. There is no final version, no completed form. Only evolution. The process is the point, and it deserves to be experienced fully, in both its comfort and its discomfort. Finally, how would you define success at this stage in your careers—and has that definition evolved over time?

Success to us is not something you possess, it’s something you continuously earn. It exists in the everyday: in discipline, in presence, in intention, in gratitude. It’s built through consistency, through showing up, through staying true. And perhaps the paradox is this: the more you respect it as something temporary, the more naturally it stays.

SPORT, ELEVATED

WHERE PERFORMANCE MEETS POLISH IN THE NEW LANGUAGE OF LUXURY

In May’s shifting light—where the city begins to breathe differently and wardrobes loosen their structure—fashion finds itself in motion. Sport, Elevated captures this precise moment, where the functionality of athleticwear transcends its origins to become something undeniably refined. No longer confined to off-duty dressing, performance-inspired pieces are reimagined through the lens of luxury: sculpted silhouettes, technical fabrics with a couture finish, and a quiet confidence that speaks to a new kind of power.

This season, the codes of sport are rewritten. Tailored blazers are paired with fluid track pants cut in silk blends; cropped windbreakers are elevated with architectural lines and precision detailing; sneakers are no longer casual—they are essential. Designers blur the boundary between gym and gallery, creating looks that move effortlessly from day to night. It’s not about dressing down, but about redefining what dressing up means.

THE AESTHETIC SHIFT

The palette leans into restraint—ivory, sand, graphite, and muted olive—allowing form and fabrication to take center stage. Materials once reserved for performance— nylon, neoprene, stretch jersey—are elevated through craftsmanship, cut, and context. The result is a wardrobe that feels both engineered and effortless.

Silhouettes are key: relaxed yet intentional. A wide-leg track pant paired with a sharply cut blazer; a fitted bodysuit layered under an oversized coat; a zip-up top styled with tailored shorts and heeled sandals. The tension between structure and ease defines the look.

KEY PIECES TO INVEST IN

The modern wardrobe pivots around hybrid essentials. The refined track pant becomes a cornerstone—cut in fluid fabrics, often with subtle pleating or side striping. The elevated sneaker, clean and architectural, anchors every look. Lightweight outerwear—cropped, technical, and precisely constructed—adds dimension without weight.

Bodysuits and second-skin layers act as a foundation, offering both comfort and sculptural clarity. Accessories remain intentional: oversized sunglasses, minimalist leather bags, and fine jewelry that contrasts with the utilitarian roots of the outfit.

STYLING NOTES: PRECISION IN MOTION

The success of Sport, Elevated lies in restraint and contrast. Keep the foundation clean—monochrome looks or tonal layering allow textures and cuts to speak. Introduce one tailored element to anchor the look: a blazer, a structured coat, or sharply cut shorts.

Footwear defines the direction. A sleek sneaker keeps it grounded and modern, while a minimalist heel instantly reframes the outfit into evening territory. Avoid overaccessorizing—this is a story of precision. Every piece should feel intentional, every layer considered.

Above all, movement is essential. The garments should flow, respond, and adapt—mirroring the rhythm of contemporary life.

THE QP PERSPECTIVE

Sport, Elevated is not a trend—it’s a recalibration. It reflects a lifestyle where movement, versatility, and aesthetic clarity coexist. For QP, it’s about capturing that balance: pieces that travel, adapt, and perform, without ever compromising on elegance.

In a world that rarely slows down, fashion moves with it—but now, it does so with intention, precision, and unmistakable style.
