EDITOR’S LETTER

Women empowerment is by no means how hot or beautiful a woman looks, how many followers a woman has on instagram or even how many friends a woman has on Facebook.

Empowerment must be derived from knowledge or education because with knowledge comes power. After all, ‘strong women lift each other up’ and women empowerment is about extending a hand to a fellow woman who needs assistance in elevating herself to the next level, may that be emotionally or even in a professional capacity.

The #MeToo movement and the rise of socially conscious millennials who support brands they like have intensified discussions of how women are portrayed in fashion advertisements and has brought out the topic of embracing individuality. This discussion is important and we all need to listen even if we don’t completely agree, as ignorance in this scenario is definitely not bliss - just ignorant. We all need a pick-me-up now and again, and, if that means you taking some ‘me’ time then so be it! Make sure that you schedule this time in for yourself and don’t look at it as something that is flexible and end up encroaching on it with things that feel more important. YOU’RE IMPORTANT!

This month we have a stunning lookbook showcasing the supreme liberty that is Cullinan - Rolls-Royce. Confident lines amplify Cullinan’s formidable presence as an iconic silhouette reflects its robust beauty. Showcasing parallels of confidence with individuality is something that we can all take note of.

May the auspicious occasion of Eid, bless you with peace and bring joy to your heart and home.

Eid Mubarak!
