EDITOR’S LETTER

what’s next?

As magazine makers, we BHG editors are in the business of spotting trends and reporting on them for our readers. Some might think all that hustling to keep up would be exhausting, but the constant search for what’s next is what makes our jobs so much fun.

However, we don’t do it alone. Like you, we have those special people in our lives who are always a little ahead of the curve and keep the world (and us) moving forward stylewise. Our mission is to fi nd them and share them with you. Some are social media infl uencers or celebrities whose Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest posts we consistently . Throughout this issue, we’ve hand-selected entrepreneurs in the world of home, gardening, cooking, and design who we believe will be infl uencing your buying decisions for years to come.

The fi rst thing you will notice about this issue is our cover. It’s the magazine’s fi rst foldout gatefold in memory, so to make it extra special we hired noted Hollywood photographer Robert Trachtenberg (author of a new tongue-in-cheek book on male celebrity titled Red-Blooded American Male) to help showcase a few of our Stylemakers as the stars that they are. Take a look at their inspiring ideas (and follow them on Instagram, left).

With the information overload we have in our lives these days, you may feel like it’s impossible to keep up. That’s where we come in: Let us be your guide—that’s what we love.

STEPHEN ORR,
