after the many living legends he's protected as body guard. he offers the collection online for ladies as well as one for the gent, often modeling them himself and giving testimonials for the camera. if you did mention car, many people where cycling shorts and many like to wear a top with a bare midriff. all right, that's completely normal, but i feel the mention of and on the red carpet, many like to wear light apparel on zillow, hobbies missed. so i took inspiration from that to make a sports label. it's a muffin. now, 58 ac miss. mohammed's preferred working clothes, or seats of his own design with a matching vest. that standard body guard outfits normally black or not quite to his taste. is what you need to cover the and i didn't want to wear a tie go. i didn't want those blazers that are really tighter. good those. but i wanted to look good and still have the freedom of movement with a vest dress shirt and a suit. vista were the best you can put on a turtle neck or a t shirt, and you'll always look good because the best is what makes the outfit was o hm. it flies all over the world for his clients. luxury hotels have become

almost a 2nd home to him. as a boy, he never dreamt he would leave such a life of privilege one day. at 1st i unfolded. i'd like to set an example for young people wished i'd like to set an example for people who don't know how they can get ahead and no longer believe in the society. ah, i was one of those boys. while i was on the street myself and i was bull zelma, moulton, i was aggressive and didn't know what to do with myself. his elbow means to have his job in sports drop or taught me to take on responsibility for unfortunately, but naming from an impoverished refugee to a successful body guard and fashion designer who is committed to helping youth. and in the meantime, is a celebrity in his own right. ackman mohammed shows what can happen when you don't give up on your dreams. for a simple and delicious appetizer, you really don't need much more than some fresh bread and

a tasty olive oil. while back in ancient times, it was considered a luxury item, a kind of liquid gold to day. of course, you can buy a bottle of olive oil for just a few years at the grocery store, but like a fine wine, the quality of the olive oil depends on the variety of olives and where it's grown . spain is by far the largest producer of olive oil, so we headed there to find out how to best identify the best kind ah, can i get that if i somebody has to have personality has to touch you. okay, that's what i value most about a good extra virgin olive oil with emotional bodily, what it'll give you in our village here. we live from olive. they ship our attitude towards life and lifestyle with . i would say that all, well, it's not just oil. it's not just the fat, it's juice,

it's the fresh use of it all up with . i think i think one that on our farm is in the sabbatical region for the areas, soil has high line content, making farming very difficult in many ways because it's not very fertile. but it's good for olive oil quality. and also because the soil gives the trees and the olives, a host of benefits to them or federal my products. mm. spain is the main driver. we are the largest producer in the entire world. i think you have to keep in mind that spain, spain alone has 260 of ours of allan

callaway. i get the name of the people that think of these are the 3 bar righties of all of it. we make extra virgin olive oil from that. they got it, i think was b kuda because you know, and all he blanca math and got some of them are a bit spicier what he blanca is a bit stronger than quality. but my while the crude oil is more aromatic it 1st a be cool though. if adam article ah, we put them on to look at them and we constantly monitor our all it grubs to determine the ideal time to harvest the olive skin there. and what to work a thing until the timing is so important because the olives need to be as mature as possible at in, in the fair mother. if we harvest early in a sort of because that way and the oils we produce are much more aromatic and

flavor for which i am i sat on the cost and that i'm mucho myself. and i brought this vehicle. if you look it up cramped, a good olive oil, you have to make sure the, all of his healthy and supper is as little damage as possible when it was his onion, long enough, pushy, liquid them. they said this, we ensure that no more than 2 hours passed between harvesting the olives and delivering them to the factory. they will sorta i like you get to the factory, opened the door and you were enveloped in the fragrance of oil being but a man. it's the best, it's how the very best part is in the mail with

them up. okay, we stand out from the others because we really emphasize harvesting olives at the ideal moment. all nothing to show me as halting in addition, but we're very careful about selecting the olives and we follow a very meticulous and detailed production schedule for the ah, and when you 1st opened the bottle a poor little bit and in a cup, for example, warm it up and take a smell of the olive oil. you're going to notice freshness. it should smell fresh. keep in mind that olive oil should be a little bit better. this is the healthy park if it starts to make you copy. this is a good thing. and last but not least,

we delve into the fine art of embroidery. it's extremely time consuming, but many artists want to keep this special needle work alive and you, ming lou is one of them. she actually draws her inspiration from food and creates 3 d embroidery that looked so real that joe wanted take a bite out of them. o anguish breakfast with bacon eggs and beans. for how about some popcorn or broccoli. tasty though, the look. these food stuffs are best, not eaten. british artist, you mang lu, created them with a needle and thread. i think of a food has their own character. for example, like him, my baby brocly i made, i want to let people feel relaxing and it fell really peaceful. and for example, like my fight i'd, it's really energized say,

can warn. so i wanna transfer all of their feelings to my audience is. so the idea of boot inspired embroidery came to her over breakfast and 2020, and the series embroidered edibles was born. she posts the finished works on instagram. our goal is to create $301.00 pieces and total. it's actually really good kiva, a 301 a is a computer language is of it's like something like great direction. so at that time, it's a new direction. you mang lou, who's originally from the chinese region you not studied at the london school of fashion to day she lives in bristol, england. she takes her inspiration from the culture and landscapes of both countries. i went to dolly, it's a by minority re jane china. so i went to a park and i met the locos,

who was doing the amazing punch nato embroidery, bye bye, just straight away, i being attracted by their work and thrall by this handiwork. you mang lube began to teach herself the punch needle technique. unlike normal embroidery, it involves working with loops, ideas developed and i bait, invented into my own like techniques basically push lengthwise into the base for break. and now i will get a lot of loose in the flood. and then i just to tree men as scalper to that of fine know look that what at what the artist is fascinated by the burst textures and by the unique nature of a variety of fruit and vegetables in particular, they have, oh, different like touch you texture so someone really smooth osama has this kind of really thumb different my kid. so face, i feel like they,

they want me to use my need us to do that. do to tell the different stories about them depending on the size and the effort required. the artist can work up to several months on an object. she uses silk or cotton thread for all her projects. smaller works have about 10000 loops, while larger ones have more than 100000. i designed it, my own best po, punch ito, gets to the, the mock here was really big and it like this why it's really delicate so you can quit and more in details. occasionally, human move also accepts commissions and she can imagine working with passion houses and other companies in the future. but her heart belongs to this main project. now i'm thinking that these poach as more like a lives high project. so i will keep making mole odds, which i keep all of them,
