Most of the time I wonder what would happen if an artist didn‘t see their form of art as an
expression of freedom. Prince Lauder is a Mexican young man that, since his early days, has
shown interest in the art of illustration. He likes to learn by himself and, these past years, he
has been using social media to show the world his original form of work.
For him, fashion is also an expression of art. He uses these ideas and photo shoots to create
the most original collages. These collages are the presentation card of his design brand. Some
people see them as a messy type of expression, but in my opinion, this is what makes it so
inspiring. He has worked for important brands, such as Vogue and Chanel.
Can you believe it? After reading he has worked with these huge brands, it gave me so much
inspiration and power. Since I was in high school, fashion collages have also been my form
of art, I learned Photoshop by myself and I’ve been expressing my form of art on digital.
Prince Lauder made me realize that what I’ve been doing can be more than just a hobby; it
can turn into a dream come true

Have you ever wondered what is the main factor that causes a person to emigrate to another
country? In this article, we are going to talk about a person who suffered immigration due to
political factors and war.
Christiane Amanpour is the correspondent for CNN’s international headquarters and presenter
on CNN International and ABC news, she has presented important news in some television
networks since she began journalism. Amampour was born in London, England but she grew
up in Iran. Nowadays, Amanpour lives in the United States, but what is the cultural difference
between these countries? Well, the language is the main difference because in United States the
people speak English and the official language of Iran is Persian.
The lifestyle is different because the Islamic religion is the most important in Iran and in the
United States there are variety of religions, so many conflicts have been occurring in the Islamic
countries in the last years.
Christiane Amanpour was born on January 12, 1958 in London, England. The
daughter of an English mother and an Iranian father and the eldest of four sisters,
she grew up in Tehran, Iran.
When Iraq invaded Iran, she and her family were exiled to the United States, event
which for her, was a great opportunity to think what she wanted to be when she
grew up and dedicate herself all her life to it.
She went there where she decided to be a TV presenter and continues to this day.
One of the biggest obstacles for her was that she did not know which country she would face,
also that her culture was different, and she had to find that balance to adapt as best as possible.
The 1979 revolution is the experience that made Christiane study journalism when she emigrated
to the United States.
At first, it was difficult for her to adapt to studying in a different country, with customs and habits
different from hers. She graduated with honors from the University of Rhode Island, and shortly
after she started working in a prestigious television network.
Currently, she is married with James Rubin (a former adviser to Secretary of State) and in 1998
the couple had a son, Darius.
Christiane has won four “Peabody Awards”, two “George Polk Awards”, three “DuPont-Columbia
Awards”, a “Courage in Journalism Award”, nine “Emmy’s, and an “Edward R. Murrow Award”.
She has been recognized by the Library of American Broadcasting, has nine honorary titles, and
is in the Cable Hall of Fame.
