With her sister Dylana, also a fashion influencer , they developed a unique visual take on fashion blogging. Lim Suarez credits their penchant for photography to a childhood that saw the two surrounded by art. 'The arts have been in my life ever since I was little. I was always singing, dancing, and performing,' she shared in an interview for fashion brand Dora Larsen's blog.
Training from a young age in those performance arts, Lim Suarez first discovered her fashion fascination on stage. 'Our costumes on stage were definitely my first fashion moments,' she has admitted to fashion brand Aje.
The sisters taught themselves photography after their father gave them a camera. From there, their love of beautiful and expressive imagery took off. 'Style and fashion is something that just came naturally to me. I love the art of photography,' Natalie has blogged. 'I like creating a mood through my photos that feel like an editorial and tell a story with a single image.'

The Lim Suarez sisters have appeared in advertising campaigns together, the most recent being a series of social media posts for renowned Italian restaurant Carbone in New York. The two also launched the Natalie Dylana Eau de Parfum fragrance in 2019. To perfume platform Scent Beauty, Natalie described the fruity, earthy unisex scent as happy and invigorating.
Since starting her blog in 2009 and increasing her social media presence, she has been collaborating with fashion brands including Coach and Gap. In 2022, she landed on Hola magazine's Top 100 Latina Powerhouses list and continues to be an influential fashion voice in that community. She's a fashion darling

When James Gunn's new Superman hit theatres, all eyes were on supporting character Lois Lane, the investigative reporter played by Rachel Brosnahan. Brosnahan made waves on the film's press tour by fully embracing the style of her comic book character, turning heads with a series of looks that combine classic journalistic business wear with fresh, modern twists.

Labubu, soft power of a stealthy ‘ugly-cute' sort, takes on America
Alexandra Schmauch, who works at a property company in Dallas, Texas, was initially sceptical of the Labubu doll craze. As she watched the commotion build on TikTok and many of her friends became avid collectors, however, curiosity got the better of her. Advertisement Eventually, after several attempts, she managed to secure a couple of Labubus, relishing the 'blind box' surprise of not knowing which Labubu character was inside. 'A lot of the fun is how hard they are to get,' said Schmauch, aged 28. 'I was lucky enough to get two. It's kind of fun not knowing what you're going to get.' The global Labubu hysteria has sparked long queues, online mania, customer fist-fights and explosive revenue growth for the Chinese retailer Pop Mart, which had some US$423 million in global Labubu sales alone on overall revenue of US$1.8 billion last year. Priced in the United States at around US$30 apiece, rare varieties of the doll can resell for thousands of dollars; last month, an auction in Beijing saw a singular Labubu go for US$172,000. Advertisement For decades, China has manufactured most of the world's toys, including such past must-haves as Beanie Babies, Tamagotchi and Fidget Spinners. But this is among its first home-grown global megahits, with 40 per cent of Labubu's sales coming from outside China.
