Over the years, I have contributed to numerous magazines and television channels, where I have not only showcased emerging fashion trends but also reported on the latest developments in the film world. My unique insight into both fields has allowed me to write compelling articles that engage readers and challenge conventional narratives.
My journey has taken me to prestigious film festivals, where I have had the privilege of interviewing talented actors, directors, and artists. These conversations not only enrich my stories but also foster connections within the industry that enable me to bring fresh perspectives to my audience.
I am committed to delivering high-quality content that combines my love for fashion with the dynamic nature of film. I look forward to further expanding my experience and continuing to bring innovative ideas to the forefront of both industries.

Marco Casano

Malena Pérez
Malena Pérez is an image and presence consultant and the founder of Malena Esencia & Estilo, a practice devoted to exploring the relationship between identity, expression, context and perception.
Her perspective began long before it became a professional practice. Growing up in her mother’s beauty salon, she learned to observe how people saw themselves, how they wished to be seen, and how seemingly small gestures of care could shape an entire experience.
Her professional path later took her through different business environments, spanning client relations, administration and financial consulting, as well as communication, public relations and protocol.
These experiences gave her a broader understanding of how perception is formed — not through appearance alone, but through what is communicated, how people behave, the decisions they make and the experience others receive.
This perspective lies at the heart of Architecture of Presence, the framework she is developing through her professional practice and ongoing research. It begins with observing and understanding the person, situation and context before considering what might evolve, what could be refined and what deserves to remain.
Her work is situated within contemporary luxury, understood not simply through appearance or exclusivity, but through coherence, discretion, attention to detail and the quality of the experience created for others.
“Appearance may attract the eye. Presence remains.”
