Thirty-three-year-old Rosalía connects and her face appears on the screen. Focused on her Lux Tour, she reflects on the “honor” of being the face of Calvin Klein’s new perfume, Euphoria. The brand first launched its iconic fragrance in 2005. Back then, Natalia Vodianova was photographed by Steven Meisel, the great architect of the unmistakable visual stamp ‘Calvin’ and she became the perfume’s ambassador. Now Rosalía is taking over the role and she does it in her own unique way: she dances sensu

Back then, Natalia Vodianova was photographed by Steven Meisel, the great architect of the unmistakable visual stamp ‘Calvin’ and she became the perfume’s ambassador.

The island of Hormuz is one of the few places in Iran where women wear burkas. Due to the island’s proximity to the Arab countries on the other side of the Persian Gulf, wearing this garment—which covers the entire face and is more common among Sunni Muslims than Shiites—is a deeply ingrained custom. However, instead of fabric, the burkas here are made of colorful masks in various shapes and sizes, adding a spectacular touch to this small volcanic island, rich in salts and minerals, which gives
The island of Hormuz is one of the few places in Iran where women wear burkas. Due to the island’s proximity to the Arab countries on the other side of the Persian Gulf, wearing this garment—which covers the entire face and is more common among Sunni Muslims than Shiites—is a deeply ingrained custom. However, instead of fabric, the burkas here are made of colorful masks in various shapes and sizes, adding a spectacular touch to this small volcanic island, rich in salts and minerals, which gives its name to the strait. The island’s unique character has allowed its inhabitants to make a living from tourism, supplementing their traditional source of income: fishing. But the blockade of the strait, a consequence of the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, has placed the population of around 10,000 inhabitants on the front lines, plunging them into despair. Many have chosen to flee the area due to the collapse of their economy and the threat of attacks.
Ibrahim Badr runs, oblivious to the misery and uncertainty surrounding him, among the tents of displaced families set up in a courtyard of the Islamic University of Gaza City. He is two and a half years old and has an unmistakable Egyptian accent that reveals he learned to speak in the neighboring country, far from his entire family and Gaza.Seguir leyendo

Borges wrote that “any life, however long and complicated it may be, actually consists of a single moment — the moment when a man knows forever more who he is.” Perhaps this statement applies not only to people, but also to newspapers; if so, EL PAÍS knew forever who it was during the afternoon and evening of February 23, 1981.Seguir leyendo

As she was driving out of party headquarters, five vans with dark‑tinted windows cut her off. She doesn’t remember how many men got out, but they were dressed in black, their faces covered with balaclavas, and they carried rifles. From that moment on, everything becomes hazier. They pushed her into the back seat of one of the vehicles, blindfolded her, and began driving in circles around Culiacán, the capital of the Mexican state Sinaloa. There was no physical or verbal abuse, just veiled threat
As she was driving out of party headquarters, five vans with dark‑tinted windows cut her off. She doesn’t remember how many men got out, but they were dressed in black, their faces covered with balaclavas, and they carried rifles. From that moment on, everything becomes hazier. They pushed her into the back seat of one of the vehicles, blindfolded her, and began driving in circles around Culiacán, the capital of the Mexican state Sinaloa. There was no physical or verbal abuse, just veiled threats like “we’ve got half of Culiacán here” or “we can take you home whenever you want.” Nearly nine hours later, as the sun began to rise over the soft hills surrounding the city, Paola Gárate had her blindfold removed and was released near a supermarket. It was Sunday, and in just a few hours, the polls would open to choose Sinaloa’s next governor. Dazed but relieved, that was how the election day began for the president of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) in Sinaloa.

A major crack has appeared in the least expected place: the newly established foundation of the security relationship between Mexico and the United States, a sacred space during the 14 months that Claudia Sheinbaum and Donald Trump have spent at the helm of their respective governments.

A major crack has appeared in the least expected place: the newly established foundation of the security relationship between Mexico and the United States, a sacred space during the 14 months that Claudia Sheinbaum and Donald Trump have spent at the helm of their respective governments. The political crisis in Mexico stemming from the presence of CIA agents on the ground in Chihuahua, coupled with the U.S. indictment of a governor and a senator in Sinaloa on drug trafficking charges, are the backdrop for a rupture whose magnitude and consequences are yet to be fully realized. The political chess game is progressing; bishops and knights are getting ready. A false move by either side could further complicate the situation.
Adrián Valdez rides his horse slowly into a clearing on the bank of the Rio Grande — or the Río Bravo, depending on which side of it you’re on. At 50, with a gray mustache and cowboy boots with spurs that mark the pace of his brown-and-white horse, he doesn’t seem to know what hurry is. Time bows to him and his animal. But that’s only because this Tuesday he has no job to be at. For virtually his entire adult life though, it has been two that have kept him and his family afloat.Seguir leyendoPho
