ISSUE 50 EDITOR’S NOTE Newstyle magazine has had a long and successful journey and we are pleased to celebrate our 50th issue today. We would like to thank all the contributors and sponsors for their valuable support. From the beginning, our main goal was to create a platform for real talent in the fashion and sports industry. I’ll let you in on a little secret: at this time of year, it’s just a dream to see our fashion engagements getting back to normal! The fashion world and this pandemic cannot be “best friends”. Many fashion events and shoots are cancelled. We miss the photo shoots and working with passionate people. However, it is vital for everyone to be responsible and take the appropriate precautions. Sandrina Micha
Editor & Stylist
It has been a challenge for our team to overcome the pandemic, but the magazine has not been overly affected. We are always finding ways to give opportunities to our Mauritian talent. On this note, we wish you all a good read, as this issue is a special collection of our past work. Keep following us, we promise to keep the excitement alive. We deeply thank all our collaborators who have made each issue a real success. Without your support this would not have been possible. Sandrina Micha
For any queries regarding the magazine, please do not hesitate to contact us on our Instagram and Facebook page. Newstyle is uniquely suited to bring the world of international fashion closer to Mauritians. With the promotion of local skills through photography, Newstyle leaves no room for money transactions. Our collaboration with make-up artists, fitness enthusiasts, designers or models gives them the opportunity to highlight their work and help them gain further expertise. Our goal is to be at the vanguard of fashion. Each issue of Newstyle focuses on a new face to highlight them.

make-up hair fashion 6
While heading into 2021, we were all looking for bold, confident and uplifting styles and this is exactly what Newstyle magazine has invoked over the past years. Whether exploring these new colours together or as standalone shades, our makeup artists and hair stylists have been able to make hair colour, eyes and skin pop. You were probably asking yourselves whether the hairstyles and make ups that featured in the magazine would suit you? Over the past few years mixing these colour combinations have become mainstream and now they’re being mixed into the fashion sphere — we can only wonder how these tones will take off this season. Our artists have proved it!
“People are just becoming more comfortable with natural textures and experimenting with different skin tones. Today, we see trends happening in real time by scrolling through Instagram. We see people are wanting more texture rather than trying to stay away from it.” If you already consider yourself a curl specialist, then you will be well-aware that the texture business is growing and becoming more inclusive than ever. The various hairstylists and makeup artists that we have been collaborating with for our latest issues have proved that nothing is impossible in Mauritius. To success with every hair texture and skin color!
When we sit down next to stylists at continuing education classes on textured hair and skin tones or chat with them about curls at events or in the salon, we sometimes hear them express intimidation about working with various hair textures and skin colors.

towel series 96
If you have an Instagram account, you have probably stumbled upon photographs of beautiful women sporting only a towel, which is sometimes accompanied by a robe. This movement has been coined the “Towel Series” and has been featured in our various editions by the famous photographer, Sachin Sagar. After some unplanned shots of iconic Mauritian models, Sachin has added many other pictures in various places under his “Towel Series”, which is a very exclusive project. He chooses carefully who to photograph for it—it is only his only point of view. This shooting is viewed as a liberating lens in the industry. Girls and guys feel this freedom at being able to express themselves. There is no predetermined way of how you put the towel on - You can do anything you want—wear it however you want. Sachin has always treasured this kind of freedom: which he considers as rare.”

WHY GOLF IS A SPECIAL GAME Improvement comes in many different forms – technique, the mental game, strategy, playing the right equipment, and a few other topics. This is a reminder to everyone that golf is a truly special game. It is really a privilege to get to play it, and there are so many reasons why it can be a positive influence in your life. Despite that, many of us get stuck in negative cycles because this game is difficult, and our expectations get out of control sometimes. In our issues, we wanted to serve as a small reminder through our articles why it is a special game. We can talk about our families, current events, sports, and most of all golf. After our time is up we go our separate ways, and sometimes we’ll never meet again. To a lot of people, there is something special about that experience that they don’t think they can get from many other activities. There is a unique camaraderie amongst golfers because we know what the game means to us, and we also know the special set of challenges and joys that the game can deliver. Simply put, golf can be a powerful way to unify people. In a time where that seems to be in short supply, we believe that is one of the single most important things about this game, and we should all try to take a step back once in a while to cherish that.
