When most people think of ‘black
and white issues,’ they think of
topics that are definitive, thought-
provoking or could be considered
controversial. We aim to meet that
expectation with our B&W Issue.
Yes, you will find beautiful black
and white photography featured in
this season’s pictorial, but that is
just part of the magic surrounding
our annual B&W Issue. This is our
‘think-piece’ issue. This is the issue
where we are not concerned about
being objective, but rather a catalyst
for you to think deeply and from the
heart.
We could easily do a holiday-
themed issue each Winter, but
where is the fun in being like
everyone else? This magazine was
created to be a breath of fresh air
in a sea of standards. We proudly
do things a little differently than
everyone else, and celebrating B&W
in theme and concept is just one of
those ‘things’ we do.
In this issue, we are looking at
the politics of fashion, diversity in
fashion, the culture that glorifies
sexual misconduct and more! We’ve
got great interviews with model
Jodi Pollack, and the founder of
Optifit Bra, Sue McDonald. I even
get into the game with an article on
originality, or better yet, the death of
it.
Whether you are a long-time
reader or new to the magazine, I
hope you are able to sink your teeth
into this issue. We have an amazing
team that works hard to bring your
content that you will love, so from
our heart to yours... Enjoy!
