  <p><span> From the collaboration with The Social Sunday Paris to the opening of the first La Semaine Paris pop-up store in Milan, for Gabrielle Caunesil, the end of this year is a unique moment. We spoke to her about her work, her private life, and her charitable activities. </span></p>

<p><strong> </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/gabriellecaunesil/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gabrielle Caunesil</a>, a Frenchwoman living in Italy, adopted the motto "More pasta, less drama" on Instagram. "I fell in love with this country, the people, and of course the&nbsp;pasta. The idea is to try to get the most out of life, without drama! Italy is rich in history, taste, elegance, romanticism. I never tire of discovering it, of adoring it." In&nbsp;Italy, there is also her company, La Semaine Paris, founded three years ago. "These three years have flown by, it has been a very fine journey but certainly full of challenges!"<em> </em></p>

        <p><span class="s3"> <span> At the beginning of December, her </span>first pop-up store opened in Milan. "I'm very excited and also a bit restless, my hair is going white; the idea is to be&nbsp; closer to my community, through our concept stores: I love digital, but after the pandemic, we want physical contact!" Caunesil recently collaborated with The Social Sunday Paris, a women's ready-to-wear line inspired by the colors of nature and in particular crystals, fascinated as she is by the energy that they release. Her community (of 1.3 million Instagram followers) supported her in a painful phase of her recent past. After a diagnosis of endometriosis followed by that of ovarian cancer, Caunesil showed herself in all her fragility, to raise awareness on the subject, even showing the scars left by the operations.</span></p>

        <p><span class="s3"><em> </em>"Fighting the disease taught me resilience: I made even the saddest moments my own, to accept them. Unfortunately, we can't control everything, the only thing we can control is how we react. The scars made me discover a new, changed body, and I was ashamed. But it was only for a second. The next second, I realized how shameful this feeling was. To love and to be loved, you have to understand and accept yourself, without hiding. Being diagnosed with endometriosis carries a high risk (40 percent) of potential infertility, and after a period in which she thought she would never be able to get pregnant, what she calls a miracle happened.</span></p>

        <p><span class="s3"><em> </em>"I couldn't believe it, in fact when I found out I was pregnant I had already been pregnant for over a month, but for me, it was so impossible that I didn't even ask myself the question One evening, a friend looks at me and says, 'You know you've changed, you look special.' I took several tests, all negative. At the end, I said, 'This time will be the right one.' The next morning I found out that was really the case. Just thinking about it still fills me with emotion. It was a dream come true! </span><span class="s4">I finally discovered what maternal love means. It is the most intense and beautiful thing I have ever experienced, I am truly grateful to life for this enormous gift. I want to take advantage of the passing minutes, without taking anything for granted, with humility and curiosity. Try, make mistakes, try again, and, above all, have fun. I want a full life!" <span>Caunesil</span> is also a&nbsp;<strong></strong>Unicef ambassador: "Unicef ​​Next-Gen is a group of young entrepreneurs and professionals who help Unicef ​​deal with global emergencies. We have participated in the education of young people in Lebanon, supported the association during the COVID emergency, and now we collect aid for children and young people affected by the war in Ukraine."</span></p>
