“You can be gorgeous at thirty, charmimg at forty, and irresistible for the rest of your life.” (Coco Chanel)
editor’s letter Dear Readers, Let’s finish this year beautifully with the new issue of La Plus Belle Magazine, actually being composed of two issues. ISSUE THEN, in facts, is out in two volumes filled with exciting editorials. The next time we will meet again, it will be in 2019 already, so all our team and I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! And we’re accompanied by a special guest, the stunning Jen, a dear friend and model from the USA, who wanted to join us on our magazine, this year again, as a Christmas Girl. I wish to remind you that La Plus Belle Magazine is published in the dual format: on paper, in a premium quality edition, and digital, who want to have it at their fingertips on tablets or smartphones. In both cases, you may purchase it directly from our store: www.laplusbelle.it/store I’d like to invite you to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date with our latest news. If you wish to advertise your business or your brand in our magazine, contact us at advertising@laplusbelle.it and request more info or a quote. That’s all. See you in January with the first issue of 2019! Enjoy your reading! Gaetano Pavano
