#happy #schonmagazine

Spring is finally here, summer is around the corner, and it’s time to get happy! As the world around us bursts with new life, we celebrate youth and the promise of the future, starting with our cover star, Maddie Ziegler, the twelve-year-old girl who has danced her way into the limelight and onto the stage of the Grammys. We take a look at the most stylish little ones with a preview of the new season at Baby Dior, and we hang out with RJ Mitte, who not only stole our hearts in the phenomenal Breaking Bad but, aged just 22, is an ambassador for people with disabilities and a role model for us all.

Olga Kurylenko, the beautiful Bond girl, and now star of Russell Crowe’s directorial debut The Water Diviner, puts us through our paces in a playful photo shoot and tells us why 2015 is such a big year for her. Both young and old will be looking forward to the hotly anticipated new version of Cinderella. We talk to one of its stars, Sophie McShera, about the switch from Downton Abbey to Disney blockbuster and to model and actor Colton Haynes about his transition from small screen to big in action thriller San Andreas. Fresh beginnings can come at any time of life and the stunning Pamela Anderson is certainly turning a new page. Read on to find out about the exciting and unexpected projects she has coming up.

As usual, we bring you the best of the season’s bold, bright and downright beautiful fashion, from swimwear to sunglasses, to candy coloured jewellery, as well as beauty products that light up your looks and scents that put a spring in your step. Whether you want to reconnect with your childhood, or simply see out the season in sunny style, the #happy issue is sure to bring a smile to your face.

elastic heartAt just twelve years old, Maddie Ziegler has been parodied by Jim Carrey on SNL, released her own clothing line

with her little sister Mackenzie, and danced in a life-sized bird cage with Shia LaBeouf.

Maddie Ziegler started dancing at the age of two, the age at which most kids are learning to walk up stairs. By the age of five, when most kids are learning the alphabet, she started dancing competitively. These are just two examples of how Ziegler is a prodigy of her chosen art form: dance, which she has mastered before her teens. Avatar to Grammy Award nominee Sia, breakout star of reality series Dance Moms and, a few hours after we meet, her curriculum vitae will broaden with a performance on Saturday Night Live. It’s a combination of moxy and stage gravitas that has put this young lady on a well-fuelled rocket ship to superstardom.

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Ziegler recalls a story told to her by her mother, one of the aforementioned ‘Dance Moms’ of the popular Lifetime series. In the story, Ziegler explains how she came running off the stage during an early performance of The Nutcracker with her face streaming with tears. She missed the stage the very second she walked off. Maybe we’ll put her in for another year, mom quickly thought. Spoiler: This was the right move.

Shortly after, Ziegler and her younger sister Mackenzie enrolled at Abby Lee Dance Company. That’s when ‘reality’ came knocking. “At first when we did the show, it was developed as a docu-series, so we thought this will last maybe a season,” Ziegler explains. Season 5 premiered in January, 2015. The show satiated the viewers’ appetite for a bizarre ensemble of embattled mothers, verbally setting each other on fire in an almost ancillary behind-the-scenes look at the world of competition dance. “I don’t even watch the show,” Ziegler admits. “We live it, we don’t really have to see the show. It’s weird seeing yourself on TV and when the moms are fighting. I don’t like to see that, so my whole family just doesn’t watch it.”

Instead, Ziegler does what she knows: she dances, eight hours a day, six days a week, between classes and shooting the show. When she’s not dancing, she might be at the mall with friends (“my happy place”) or filming a guest appearance on her favourite Disney show, Austin & Ally. She’s doing her best to balance normal life with her ever-escalating fame. Once Dance Moms is a blip in the oversaturated reality spectrum, Ziegler will remain, making reality TV her ladder, not her landing.

There’s no doubt she’s kept her head screwed on. “The other day while we were filming, she answered someone’s question so eloquently,” recalls Abby Lee Miller. “There wasn’t an ‘um’, a ‘like’, or even a ‘well’ in her intelligent, meaningful, response. Inside I was jumping up and down. I was so proud that this little precocious peanut had developed into such a well-spoken, confident young lady. Of course, I didn’t let her know this. I’m a teacher – I always have to keep my students on their toes!”

Ziegler made headlines last year by breaking free from the land of reality stars after Grammy Award nominated singer/songwriter Sia (who penned Rihanna’s Diamonds and Beyoncé’s Pretty Hurts), reached out over Twitter asking if Ziegler would like to be in the video for her lead single, Chandelier. Loud screams ensued. She got connected with Sia’s agent straight-away and was on a plane to LA two weeks later. “Incredibly surreal,” is how she describes the whirlwind experience. The video, which features a bleach blonde bobbed Ziegler playing a Sia avatar, exploded, racking over half a billion views on YouTube.

Ziegler was recently back in LA, filming Sia’s follow-up single, Elastic Heart. This time she appears in a giant life-sized birdcage opposite a very shirtless Shia LaBeouf. Because of Sia’s decision to obstruct her face from any and all promotion for her album, Ziegler has become the de facto face of the campaign. She joined the singer throughout a promotional tour with stops on The Ellen Degeneres Show, So You Think You Can Dance, and on SNL, a performance she felt “nervous and excited” about.

If one thing is made entirely clear, it’s Sia’s profound influence on the young performer. “She’s taught me to be myself; not to let fame get to me,” says Ziegler. “She said it’s not fun letting everything get to you and having to be so serious in life. She told me I’d have more fun being silly. ‘Stay in the moment. But have fun. Don’t let anything be too serious.’ Before I met her, I was really, really serious, always thinking ‘I need to stay focused,’ and now I take the time to be silly when I’m in rehearsal. Life is more fun that way.”
