The Fantasy and fairytale style of Marie Antoinette, the fashionable French queen whose love of all things extravagant earned her notoriety in her time, has inspired many creatives for different reasons.
The dress, created by Phoebe English in collaboration with Rootil in 2025, is made from living plant roots on beeswax templates and features a bouncy, root-grown lace suspended from a ripped cotton strip bodice.
Like women around the world today, our relationship with our physiological transformations due to age is definitely different from that of many women we meet along the way.
We age, yes, but not subjected to any decrepitude normalized by society and, above all, by women and our prejudices. We age, updating ourselves and breaking social patterns.
Solo travel is not a crime!
Women deserve the right to feel safe everywhere women are and go wherever adult women want at any age.
Why the OLMECA culture in Mexico doesn’t derive from Africa?
The Olmec culture emerged some four millennia ago on the southern coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Its true name has not survived the passage of time, as the term "Olmec" was borrowed from a historical group that inhabited the region. It means "citizen of Olman", the land of rubber. The Olmec developed the first great civilization of Mesoamerica.
Archeological studies and specialists have carried out mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) studies that allow tracing inheritance through the maternal line and defining haplogroups. Haplogroups are “mitochondrial lineages” that have a great antiquity and go beyond any kind of cultural, temporal and geographical limit in the world.
The origin of the OLMECA people is not in Africa but in America, since they share the most abundant of the five mitochondrial haplogroups characteristic of the autochthonous populations of our continent: A, B, C, D and X.
This property of the mtDNA provides anthropology with a means of tracing the historical development of contemporary and pre-eternal populations. Thanks to this, the repertoire of maternal lineages on a global scale, their geographic-temporal distribution and, in addition, the lineages originating from each continent are known. This study was carried out with an Olmec individual from San Lorenzo and another from Loma del Zapote, resulting, in both cases, in the unequivocal presence of distinctive mutations of the maternal lineage “A”.
