What do the first 30 mins of the day look like, your morning routine?

What inspired you to launch Nanushka?
I founded Nanushka in 2005, right after graduating from London College of Fashion. I was very inspired by the theme of my thesis which I really wanted to develop further, into a full collection and not just a few pieces. The theme was connected with the Bauhaus movement which was very significant in Hungary and the concept which lies on “Form follows Function” became one of Nanushka’s key founding values. I believe that a garment has to be functional, comfortable and serve its purpose besides being beautiful.

A health ambassador at the EDGE Sports & Fitness For many of us, the dawn of a new year is a time to clean up our acts. Temporary teetotalers drive their friends to drink, preaching the gospel of a dry January. Others hop on the latest fad diet or at least try to eat a veggie now and then. And, of course, still others sign up for new health club memberships or optimistically renew the ones they let lapse the previous February. This year, those legions of would-be workout warriors now returning to the gym or in-person yoga or spin classes are finding a very different fitness environment from that of Januarys past. Let s say they walk into the EDGE Sports & Fitness on Twin Oaks Terrace, one of two EDGE locations in South Burlington.
Choral singers are by definition members of a team, he wrote in an email. Making, hearing and succumbing to the interplay of human voices is the essence of choral singing. Without that, it s hard to be inspired to breath[e], listen, think and perform in unison with other singers. That interplay of voices presents new challenges when the singers are so far apart. Buettner has had to rethink his repertoire. Musically, our projects have to be much shorter, he notes. And because sight lines are problematic in a 700-seat chapel, the music that has worked is rhythmic. That includes Non Nobis, Domine by Rosephanye Powell, a 2002 piece that s standard with academic choirs; and the folk-sounding Meet Me Here by Craig Hella Johnson, from 2016. The latter, says Buettner, is a little slower but had a continual pulse that we could all feel across a distance.
