Vogue Monaco An exclusive Vogue Monaco × Becoming Legendary by Rita Valente There’s a particular kind of night that makes you believe in portals. Snow falls quietly, the world turns hushed, and a child slips outside as if she’s answering a secret invitation. She doesn’t build a snowman. She doesn’t rush to warm hands. She lies down in the bushes, letting the cold cradle her bones, watching flakes drift toward her face like stardust. In her mind, she isn’t in a backyard—she’s soaring through space to another planet, rehearsing the feeling of leaving Earth without ever leaving home. That child…

A Journey Through Beauty, Courage, and Becoming Irina Kozlova’s path to the stage was never linear. It moved through numbers and language, discipline and doubt, elegance and inner awakening.

Inside a haunted hospital in Nashville, rescued and rebuilt by Goldy, music is recorded, iconic portraits of artists and celebrities are shot, and entire stage sets are constructed where operating rooms once stood. This is where a revolution is brewing. It’s not the kind you’ll find backed by major labels or corporate sponsors; it’s the kind that starts with scraps of fabric, discarded stage equipment, and a fierce determination to prove that artistry trumps everything else in the music business. Meet Goldy Locks, the fearless frontwoman of The Goldy lockS Band, whose latest campaign, “Buy The Record, Not The Bod”…

Where Dance Became Destiny Long before runways, castings, and fashion capitals, Marika Časnochová was already learning how to move through space with intention. Dance was her first language. For ten years, it shaped her posture, her discipline, and her quiet confidence. It taught her rhythm, control, and presence—skills that would later translate seamlessly into another world that would claim her just as naturally. At fourteen, everything shifted. A casual suggestion from a friend at dance class—“Why don’t you try the Elite Model Look casting?”—set events into motion that would change Marika’s life. What felt like a simple why not moment…

From Engineering Precision to Couture, a Life Rebuilt in Truth Reinvention rarely arrives as a single, dramatic moment. More often, it unfolds quietly—through repetition, reflection, and resolve. For Vaishali Dev, that process began in an unremarkable place: the living room floor, where she was teaching her young daughters how to walk. Guiding their tentative steps, she found herself relearning a principle she had long ignored in her own life—that progress is incremental, courage is practiced, and falling is part of forward motion. That quiet realization would set in motion a transformation spanning industries, continents, and identities. From health care to…

Yet, the woman at the center of this surge carries an unusually quiet profile for someone…

The Beginning: Music as SurvivalFor Jordann Dwayne, music wasn’t born from luxury — it was born from survival.Before the stages, before the lights, before the Grammy-level recognition, there was just a boy in a Texas church choir, singing to feel something beyond the noise around him.“Music kept me distracted from what hurt,” Jordann recalls. “It became my comfort, my escape — and eventually, my identity.”At five years old, he found rhythm before he understood rhythm’s meaning. By middle school, he’d swapped percussion for clarinet, building beats like a language only he could speak. And by 2007, he was in his…

There’s a moment in every entrepreneur’s journey when the story shifts—when ambition outgrows its environment.For Anthony Joseph Abou Jaoude, that moment came in Lebanon, watching the people around him accept monthly salaries that barely covered rent. “I saw everyone making $500, maybe $600 a month, thinking that was the ceiling,” he recalls. “And I just knew there had to be more.” Born in the United States and raised in Lebanon, Anthony grew up between two opposing realities: one that encouraged gratitude for stability, and another that whispered about possibility. That tension stayed with him for years—until it became impossible to…

From answering phones at a snowboard company to landing magazine covers, one creative’s journey challenges traditional notions of what it means to build spaces—and careers Jennifer Brisby doesn’t fit neatly into the interior design establishment. She apprenticed at a prestigious New York firm, earned her master’s degree, and has worked across three continents. But ask her what she does for a living, and she’ll correct you: “I’m not a designer. I’m an artist and a healer.” It’s an unconventional self-description in an industry known for pragmatism and client service. Yet this approach has taken Brisby from launching a studio while…
