Édito We're ending a very eventful 2019 with a new start at Face Magazine. I am very happy to present Issue 2. The festive fever began in the last quarter of the year with Diwali and has continued this month with Christmas and the New Year coming up, along with the dazzling wedding season. In this issue, we bring to you a Gift Guide, Festive listings, Dress Up, Travel recommendations and a lot more. Our cover star of the month is Sana Saeed, who we all remember as the bubbly Anjali from the film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to the bold Tanya in Karan Johar’s Student of the Year. Sana will speak to Face about her intriguing life’s journey about how a Bollywood child star matured into a versatile actress. We will present Zurich to you as a Travel Recommendation. One can never go wrong with Switzerland, with St. Moritz and Montreux hosting some epic weddings in 2018 and 2019, cementing the country's place as one of the hottest destinations around. We also bring to you four other exciting destinations to celebrate this festive season. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year. Happy Holidays!!!

“One hour of any physical workout of your interest is very important in a day. It will keep you happy, make you feel more positive thus being more productive at work. Have 2 glasses of hot water waking up and 7-8 glasses in a day. It will help your skin glow.” Every actor brings his/her style to the screen. I was curious to know hers! “Hands on experience,” she said. Prachis is a director’s actor and has learnt along the way in front of the camera. Roles in Aarzoo in Diya aur Baaati Hum, Susheel in Ikyawann and Unnimaya in Mamankam are responsible for her growth as an individual and as an actor. Any challenging role, adrenaline pumping is what she is waiting for to experiment with.
She also featured in many Television reality shows. Sana has also been the judge on the show MTV India Style Super Star. She has also been part of another MTV India show Sexy Sana. The daredevil girl was even placed as 1st runner up in the reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi 7 hosted by Arjun Kapoor. Face Mag | 22

Her cats are the most precious to her in the entire world. If she wasn't an actor she would run a feline NGO, this is still a dream of hers.
Apart from Film and TV world she is the face of INVISALIGN INDIA and has also curated and launched her own clothing line, called ISU by Zapyle in 2018.
Chocolates are her weakness and She loves amusement park rides. Sana is an absolute animal person and in fact awhile back she almost saw herself being a part of National Geographic Channel in some way! In 2019 she was also seen in the Australian-made film Social Media Murder Society by Abhishek Shukla.
Sana’s aspiration is to be a global actress, explore varied roles in in melange categories, countries and languages. Constantly surpassing her own boundaries and making a difference in the world of cinema. Face Mag | 24

2020 just round the corner, has us wondering what is next on the December wishlist for shopping! It is almost holiday season and this means stocking up on some perfect holiday wardrobe options. Christmas and New Year's Eve are the festivals of happiness and celebration, so why be dressed anything less than FABULOUS! Making this happen are two elegant and contemporary brands Bellicimo and Fempirebygg. Face Mag | 34

A perfectly fitted red, maroon or burgundy dress does complete justice to the occasion. Shades of red are always a great color on every woman. Combine the look with a cute edgy clutch and some delicate pencil heels and voila you have a winning look ready to strut. Red paired with navy blue, warm shades of nude and even a dash of pink is totally festive party ready.
The little black dress in your closet is always a go to, adding some shine and shimmer to it turns into the next trending look of the season. Navy blue has also become the new black. Metallics are the best picks to bring in the new year with some bling on! Dresses and tops in gold and silver are both the easiest selections, since the colors are flashy, we break them down with some off- white, grays and some color pop to contrast the look. Face Mag | 36

Last but not the least, power suits are the look of the year! Want get to a party straight from work? Add a blazer on your work look and walk right into the party with a powerful, elegant and strong suit ! This festive season play with silks, shimmer, sequin, even suede and get your winter glam on !

Tiffany & Co. being one of the most desirable international jewellery brands, retaining 1% of the global jewellery category, will provide LVMH with an excellent market entry to deploy its luxury brand building knowledge and curated expertise, but also gain access into China and the USA, which are globally the two most attractive jewellery markets. Following the acquisition of Dior in June 2017 and Tiffany & Co. in 2019, we can further expect LVMH to continue its M&A strategy to further strengthen its portfolio of prestige brands in the near future," says Andreea Danila, Founder of Millennial Capital.
Millennial Capital’s recent personal accessories report reveals that among the key categories that contribute a majority of the personal accessories market size are jewellery (USD 357bn), bags & luggage (USD 150 bn), watches (USD 68 bn) and writing instruments (USD 21 bn). Globally, the jewellery category dominates two thirds of the market and with fine jewellery retaining c. 3.1% of total jewellery category. The estimated growth of the jewellery category is limited as the sector is facing disruption from key trends such as democratization of luxury, digitization and personalization driven by the millennials who represent c. 32% of total addressable consumers but also products of ethical living.

EXPLORE TRAVEL ZURICH
Get to Know explore Zurich Exploring Zurich was indeed a fun experience from the picturesque old town to its very own mountain Ueltiberg to the vibrant nightlife, the wonderful spas and more. This city is just a perfect place to relax, explore and enjoy your time. To me it seems like a really great city to live in. A great mix of culture, nature, work and a well-balanced life is what I could gauge. I stayed in the very central of Zurich, 10 mins away from the Main Zurich HB station (great connectivity with the most of the city). Hotel 25Hours Langstrasse is a great hotel to stay , its lively with a cool bar and restaurant and comfortable rooms.

wines as well as some exclusive restaurants. Be ready to spend a few hours here.
UETLIBERG I also visited the highest peak of Zurich, it’s very own mountain called Uetliberg, it’s a lovely train ride from the city just about 30-40 mins away. It’s the place from where you can have the stunning views of the city and lake and some glimpse of the Alps. It is 2850 feet above sea level, offers the best panoramic city views, the lake and the Alps.
ZURICH WEST Earlier known as the industrial and working class district, Zurich West has transformed and now it is known for its trendy spots including nightlife and various dining places. Via Duct is one of the cool places to hang out, Prime Tower is also located in Zurich West that offers beautiful city views and has a great bar and restaurant. One will notice some repurposed buildings and spaces and some fascinating history of the neighborhood. I also visited the Wave Factory for trying some skating, I must admit I am very bad at it but I am a decent learner ☺

Thermal Baths & Spa Zurich This was my very first experience in life and I must tell you it was simply WOW. Experiencing bathing at the Thermalbad & Spa amid the century-old stone vaults of the former brewery. Fresh thermal water bubbling straight from Zurich’s Aqui source offers pure relaxation and an experience of lifetime. Swimming in the pool at 35 degrees warm water on the rooftop terrace, I don’t have words to describe it. I wish I could take some pictures but it wasn’t allowed . Well you can trust me on this and whenever you are visiting Zurich do not miss this and you can thank me later ☺ Well doesn’t it sound like a great trip. I spent almost 3 days in Zurich and still I feel can go for more☺
