EDITOR’S
LETTER
Closer to home, we enlist the help of Kuwait-based social
media star Yalda Golsharifi to show you how to make this
season’s key catwalk pieces work in real life (Runway to Real
Wa y, page 127). All too often it’s impossible to see beyond
outré catwalk styling; Yalda’s easy way of translating high
fashion trends helps unlock the potential of the season’s style.
It will make you look at our essential edit of autumn/winter’s
key trends (Catwalk Report, page 116) through a new fi lter.
I, for one, am seriously reconsidering the investment-buy
potential of Saint Laurent’s chunky knit cape.
One of the highlights of this issue is our insightful
interview with Arab model Hind Sahli, in which she speaks
openly and honestly about combining her professional life
in front of the camera with her personal religious beliefs.
“I observe Ramadan but I also model. I love to do my work
and I’m proud to do it correctly,” she says in Made in
Morocco, page 150.
From Hind to Gaga, and from Carine’s icons to the
unique Miucci a Prada (Looking Through Mrs Prada’s Eyes,
page 142), this is an issue that celebrates the diversity and
strength of women who embody their own point of view.
An inspiring start to the season I hope you’ll agree. ■
