William and Kate to embark on 'complex' Pakistan visit - CBC.ca Posted: 11 Oct 2019 12:00 AM PDT Prince William and his wife Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, will visit Pakistan next week in what Kensington Palace has described as the most complex tour undertaken by the couple, given the security and logistical issues. The five-day visit comes as the United Kingdom seeks to reinvigorate its foreign relationships with Brexit looming, while Pakistan works to repair its global image to boost tourism and investment. William and Kate are scheduled to arrive Monday on a trip that will include the mountainous north, the capital Islamabad and the city of Lahore, with a focus on climate change, access to education and security. It will be the first visit to Pakistan by members of the Royal Family in more than a decade, after royal heir Prince Charles and his wife Camilla in 2006.

(Mian Khursheed/Reuters) "This is the most complex tour undertaken by the duke and duchess to date, given the logistical and security considerations," their communications secretary said. The visit, at the request of the U.K. foreign office, represents a soft power push, foreign policy experts and officials say, which may help both sides further their diplomatic aims. "The timing of the upcoming royal visit is important for both Pakistan and the United Kingdom," said Khalid Jarral, a member of the Asia Research Institute specializing in economic diplomacy at the University of Nottingham, adding that the U.K. is re-adjusting its global relationships and seeking fresh trade opportunities as it cuts ties with the European Union. Yasmin Qureshi, a British member of Parliament and chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Pakistan, said, "This visit will have particular significance to over a million British Pakistanis who are a bridge between the two countries working together to foster new relationships and strengthen old ties." Pakistan trying to revive international tourism Pakistan has been trying to shed its reputation for security problems to develop its economy and boost its reputation on the international stage, as it attempts to highlight the struggles of the disputed state of Kashmir, where India revoked the autonomy of its portion in August. The visit also comes as Pakistan is trying to avoid being placed on a "blacklist" of nations failing to take action on terror financing and money laundering by the Financial Action Task Force, which is meeting next week. "This is a goodwill visit, and they want to promote good relations between Pakistan, England and our new generation," Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi told reporters Friday. Particularly important, officials and members of the tourism industry said, is the chance for Pakistan to revive international tourism, once heavily dependent on British visitors but almost wiped out after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, and a series of suicide attacks. "This visit is definitely going to help Pakistan build an image in the world, to see that this place is no more a security risk. This place is peaceful enough to host dignitaries like the royal couple," government spokesperson Iftikhar Durrani said, adding that the government would also highlight its stance on Kashmir during the visit. There are already signs of royal influence providing a boost for Pakistan. At an event in London last week, the Duchess of Cambridge wore a pair of $8 US earrings by Pakistani brand Zeen, causing them to sell out minutes later. Many in Pakistan are hoping to see Kate favour Pakistani designers during her visit and wear the shalwar kameez — a long, flowing tunic over loose trousers — which William's mother Princess Diana wore during visits in the 1990s. "The Duchess of Cambridge is a global fashion icon and trendsetter," said Yusra Askari, spokesperson for industry body Fashion Pakistan. "[It's] time for Pakistani designers and the country's fashion industry to brace for the 'Kate Effect.'"

Openly transgender model becomes new face of Chanel - Euronews Posted: 27 Aug 2019 12:00 AM PDT Teddy Quinlivan has become the first openly transgender model to work with high end fashion titan Chanel. US-born Quinlivan came out as trans two years ago, and had already worked with Chanel prior to the announcement in 2017. In a post on Instagram, the 25 year-old Boston native said she feared she would "never work with the iconic house of Chanel ever again" having publicly disclosed her trans identity. In a series of Instagram stories reacting to positive feedback she'd received since announcing the appointment on Monday, Quinlivan praised a "brilliant time to be alive" for the LGBT movement, in particular those who identify as trans.

Her latest campaign with Chanel sees Teddy modelling Chanel's beauty line. The first images to emerge from the campaign feature her applying its Coco lipstick, Soleil Tan De Chanel bronzer and Le Volume De Chanel N°10 Noir mascara. In her full announcement, Quinlivan wrote: "I find I don't cry anymore when things are sad, but isn't it interesting when we shed tears in moments of triumph. This was one of those triumphant cry moments for me. My whole life has been a fight. From being bullied at school consistently, kids threatening to kill me and going into graphic detail how they were going to do it, my own father beating me and calling me a fagot, to receiving industry blowback after speaking publicly about being sexually assaulted on the job... This was a victory that made all of that shit worth it. I had walked 2 shows for Chanel while I was living in stealth (stealth meaning I hadn't made my trans identity public yet) and when I came out I knew I'd stop working with some brands, I thought I'd never work with the iconic house of Chanel ever again. But here I am in Chanel Beauty Advertising. I am the first openly trans person to work for the house of Chanel, and I am deeply humbled and proud to represent my community. The world will kick you down, spit on you, and tell you you're worthless. It's your job to have the strength to stand up and push on, to keep fighting, Because if you give up then you will never experience the tears of triumph. Thank you to everyone who made this dream a reality!" The announcement of Quinlivan's appointment follows a pattern of high end fashion brands embracing trans models, after Victoria's Secret announced 22 year-old Valentina Sempaio as its first trans model earlier this month.
