I can’t believe how far we’ve come. In 2007 we launched our very first issue. At the time, Raine was exclusively online and was just a hobby of mine. After all, I had just had my fourth child and was preparing to open my first retail store; a hobby was all that I could take on at that moment in time. Raine has grown into a print and digital magazine that also offers dynamic events where influencers can network with decision makers. Since the very beginning, the focus has been on providing a platform to help creative entrepreneurs take their passion to the next level. Why start a magazine in a time of uncertainty, both in our economy and the publishing industry? You could say “ignorance is bliss.” Not knowing any better, my only drive was to inspire as many creatives as possible, to find a way to turn their dreams into a viable business. Launching my own career as an entrepreneur without any mentors was a difficult and lonely journey. Raine is a place where theseindividuals can come and see that they are not alone and use the success stories of others to help them along their path. This issue is special for the Raine team because it is our 25th Volume, and as a quarterly issue, it serves as a testament to our devotion to creative entrepreneurs worldwide. If this is your first introduction to Raine, I want to share with you some Q & As from a recent interview. Q: Who is Raine’s audience? A: Creative entrepreneurs such as fashion designers, inventors, photographers, stylists, makeup artists, graphic designers, authors, freelancers, producers, actors, singers, dancers, artists, etc. In summary, they are individuals making a living from a creative gift. Q: What are the fears of creative entrepreneurs? A: Some of the fears that plague this unique group include not being able to find a mentor to help them navigate the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, not having enough outlets to network with the right people, and not understanding how to brand themselves or their product. This is just a sampling of a list of issues that entrepreneurs come across. Q: What is possible now that Raine Magazine is here? A: I see Raine as a cross between Vogue and Fast Company–a more fashion forward, entrepreneurial-minded magazine. Raine appeals to creative persons with a spirit to turn their passion into financial freedom. Raine offers a visually interesting journal of written imagery and stories that inspire success. This monumental 25th edition, offers singing sensation and X-Factor heartthrob, Carly Rose Sonenclar; our favorite celebutante from the Kardashian clan, Kendall Jenner; Bollywood bombshell and the hardest working woman in India, Priyanka Chopra; FUBU co-founder, inspirational speaker, and angel investor, Daymond John; and billionaire and serial entrepreneur, Mark Cuban to name a few. If that wasn’t enough, we have carefully handpicked the most beautiful photo stories from our network of creative entrepreneurs , photos that will keep you cheering for more. The Raine team deeply thanks you for your support because without you, none of this would be possible. Nova Lorraine, MA Founder and Editor WHERE ARE THEY NOW? KENDALL JENNER VOL 12 Is it an epidemic, a phenomenon, or a takeover? Let’s just say it’s all of the above, simply put, it’s the age of the Jenner--Kardashian brand. Whether you’re Keeping Up with the Kardashians, popping into one of their DASH retail stores, or smiling at adorable little North West’s epic facial expressions, you simply can’t escape the pandemonium of pop culture’s most talked-about family to date. Raine Magazine first became acquainted with Jenner in 2012 as our cover star and rising starlet stepping out of the shadows of her family pedigree. She was by far the youngest of many future fashion icons that have graced the cover of Raine. We quickly noticed her thirst for success and her determination to succeed in the high-stakes arena of the fashion industry. From a mere bud she has bloomed into a rose, capturing the attention of some of the biggest names in fashion from New York to Milan and Paris with her beauty and charismatic charm. She has reigned supreme on and off the runway for Chanel, DKNY, Balmain, Oscar de la Renta, Givenchy, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, and Pucci to name a few of the brands she’s worked with. By 2014, the young glamazon was on everyone’s radar. Making her runway debut during New York Fashion Week, she blew critics out of the water when she opened the Marc Jacobs show. She looked like a mannequin with her beautiful Kardashian hair now cut in a straight-edge bob, wearing matte makeup and a combat uniform to boot. It was as if Jenner was saying, “Look at me, world! I have arrived!” Many designers took notice of the rising beauty when, during London Fashion Week, she walked for Giles Deacon, and later, in Paris, for the crème de la crème of the industry, Chanel and Givenchy. Since her runway debut, Jenner has been ruling the modeling industry and has become one of the faces of the “Instagirl” era, alongside Gigi and Bella Hadid, Haley Baldwin, Jordan Dunn, Cara Delevingne, and Suki Waterhouse. In 2014, capitalizing on Jenner’s 30 million fans and followers, Estee Lauder tapped the mega-star as their global face, a chance to reinvigorate the brand with the throngs of young people who follow her with a religious-like cult status. At 19, Jenner is sitting on top of an empire at a time when most people her age haven’t figured out the path their lives will take. Her passion to push the envelope has created a monument to evolution in an industry that is rapidly changing. She has remained relevant, unique and innovative and proven herself as a force to be reckoned within the fashion Photographer Christopher Beyer industry. RAINE MAGAZINE - VOLUME 25 17 W HE R E A R E TH E Y N OW PRIYANKA CHOPRA VOL 19 She is the quintessential triple threat: a Bollywood bombshell, an actress, and a singer-songwriter with a heart of gold. When we first met Priyanka Chopra, she was at the top of her game, one of the hottest commodities to come out of India. She speaks in the voice of an archangel, and not only is she drop-dead gorgeous, but she devotes her time to helping those less fortunate. As a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador she works tirelessly to protect the rights of children. She is also an advocate for women’s issues and supports the right of young women to have a quality education that is equal to that of their male counterparts. In spring 2014, Chopra was pegged as the star of Dr. Dre’s nationwide Beats campaign. Her hit single, “I Can’t Make You Love Me,” an up-tempo dance cover of the Bonnie Raitt song, topped the charts at iTunes India within only 24 hours of its official release. Chopra sat down with Raine in Volume 19 to give us a better understanding of who she is, the brand she has built, and her aspirations for the future. Since her Kollywood debut in the film Thamizhan in 2002 (Kollywood is the cinema of Tamil Nadu, which produces movies in the Tamil language. Kollywood is a joining of the words Kodambakkam, the district in which the films are made, and Hollywood.), Chopra has followed with success after success. She starred in several other box office hits, including the films The Hero: Love Story of a Spy (2003), Andaaz (2003), and Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (Will You Marry Me?, 2004). Chopra’s ability to win over viewers and achieve record-breaking ticket sales has solidified her as a leading actress of Hindi cinema. Her efforts and endless talent have not gone unnoticed. Numerous accolades have been showered on her, including a National Film Award for Best Actress and Filmfare Awards in four categories. As the master of her own destiny, Chopra has let little stand in her way, and she refuses to let herself be pigeon-holed into any aspect of the entertainment industry. From movies to television, she has slowly but surely transitioned into the American market. Hosting the third season of Fear Factor was not enough for this ambitious star. She has also created content for various publications and has succeeded in giving a whole new meaning During a time in which women are dominating leading roles in television in series such as Empire and How to Get Away with Murder, hot commodity Priyanka Chopra will be paving her own way as a strong female lead. Her biggest break to date will come this fall as she joins the ABC family in the hit series, Quantico. This drama series explores the lives of young FBI recruits who have come to the Quantico base in Virginia for 21 weeks of training to become special agents. Chopra plays an FBI recruit-turned-possible terrorist, Alex Parrish. Quantico gives you everything a good drama should: friendship, betrayal, conflict, and suspense; trust us, you won’t be disappointed. Set your DVR, folks, because Priyanka Chopra will be imprinted on all of our brains this fall.
