And it’s not Basel without beautiful works of art to admire. The Daily’s editor in chief Brandusa Niro was on hand to unveil her Models series, a collection of paintings in acrylic on canvas. The works are inspired by the mesmerizing beauty of the models who have been featured in The Daily through her career.
