Editor’s Notes W e are thrilled to claim the completion of ten magazines ranging from men’s fashion and children to art and upscale couture. As happy as I am to have accomplished so much on my own, I am happy to express more than anything that I am not done. When I first began with the publication I had people ask questions such as “why should you have a magazine?” along with “do you know what you are getting into?” They also posed the food for thought about whether or not I knew how much work it would be for one person to complete all these tasks consistently. I’d like to thank all my skeptics and nay-sayers during this time because I would never have had the motivation to be successful without them. I wouldn’t be here still producing the best quality magazine in the fashion niche. After all of these magazines, some rushed, others I went into over focused and missed things from just trying too hard, I learned to take my time so that we can all enjoy some clean and modern editorial layouts. I honed my craft and found amazing talents who had previously been silenced with little to no press and media exposure. I know that we are amongst the elite publications and new comers that still have learning and growing to do. However, we have paid our dues, now it’s time to make a difference and become the next trendy topic within the fashion communities. We intend to mark our territory internationally. To everyone who ever worked with me, “we made it!” We would not be here without your contribution and continued support. Thank you!
