A natural choice

“Mario Lopez was the perfect fit for our Winter 2019 issue. We wanted a dapper, modern man who bridges the gap between traditional and modern Hollywood. His demeanor and character as a person exude Gatsby. So many can appreciate all the hats he wears in fashion, parenting, entertainment and as a successful entrepreneur,” stated CEO Ivan Bitton.

Not only a cover model Kalia Methven’s work is also featured inside the issue. “Marie Westwood Magazine is all about sexy silhouettes and designers whose collections have been tremendously influenced by music. Who better to represent this than Madame Special K. Kalia nailed it with her festival-inspired flare and left guests glowing into after hours,” expressed Creative Director Aaron Gomez.
