COVER CREDITS FULL DISCLOSURE. 14 Time to get real about your closet. 31 That’s because for two weeks before (and several weeks after) going to print my body is on high-alert for any and all details that could have been overlooked, like some hyper- vigilant Darwinian reflex for editors. Don’t sweat the small stuff “they” say. But as an editor, an obsession with details is implied by the title. A missed space or poor kerning can create a gap as vast as the Grand Canyon on an otherwise immaculate page. A misplaced comma can derail your inner monologue like a stick in your spokes. And who are they, anyway? I doubt "they" would give this advice to an architect, especially the one designing their condo. It’s often these small details that elevate ordinary to extraordinary, like coloured stitching on your suit cuffs or a hand written note from that little boutique on your birthday. That’s why we’ve dedicated this issue to all those little things you should sweat. Whether that's creating a dish worthy of the AGO (p. 31, "Master the #ArtOfPlating") or building a perfectly curated closet (p. 29, "Style Enlightenment"), it's the attention to detail that is ultimately essential for the success of these endeavours. All that being said, we love to launch awesome things. So we've gone full force, hitting send, going to print, throwing caution and semi-colons to the wind. But if you do happen to find a comma out of place there is no need for you to lose sleep over it. I've already done that for you. Explore the depths of Macro photography. 46 24 HOURS IN MIAMI THE ART OF PLATING A BUTTERLESS ROLL A short guide to a long day. Food as a form of high art. Without you I'm nothing.
