/NYC and LA-based photographer David Urbanke [IG] photographed actor MaggieQ at her home in Los Angeles for L’Officiel Italia’s Fall 2022 cover.
The actor wears Italian label Loro Piana’s knit top and skirt on the cover, styled by Gaultier Desandre Navarre with fashion direction by Giulio Martinelli. The fashion brands are about 50/50 sustainable and ethical v those with few credentials.
One of MaggieQ’s favorite business projects is Qeep Up, her collection of sustainable and recycled activewear and swimwear. In her own words on the Qeep Up Nation website: “QEEP UP™ is the premier activewear line for the eco-warrior woman. Made entirely of recycled fibers, QEEP UP™ takes a stand for the planet without sacrificing style or performance.”
We aren’t yet qualified with sufficient knowledge to test the promises of brands claiming to be fully-sustainable. Workout clothes made of recycled plastics do still release microplastics, for example.

“Cuore Dolomite” was created among the majestic, snowy mountains of Trento in northern Italy. It was captured through the three lenses of IPhone13 pro: Wid, Ultrawide and 3x.
In 2018, the New York Times shared a feature ‘36 Hours in the Dolomites’.
Dolomite crystals are also used in jewelry, although they are considered to be fragile with a low and variable of hardness of 3.5 to 4. “Faceted dolomites would appeal most to collectors of unusual gems or aficionados of the art of gem cutting,” writes the Gem Society. AOC has tried unsuccessfully to validate the stones used in this fashion story.
