Stylist |Creative Director | Fashion Producer Welcome to our first online publication of The Rubenist-Fashion Magazine! Often more outrageous than your typical magazines, we are devoted to create and publish purely fashion editorial concepts. In our own way & philosophy, my team and I will pursue this adventure to keep empowering the development of the fashion industry in Mauritius and celebrate it’s eclectic mix of individuals and creatives. Our pages will be dedicated 100% to fashion stories, so let your imagination take the lead and follow us on this visual journey! This first issue has been a long & ambitious venture. It started in June 2016 on a trip to Paris, where I collaborated on a few fashion editorial stories with my long-time creative partner Cedric Lanappe, makeup artist, I had one concept in mind since a few years and it all happened through the persistence of bringing it to life. Read our blog post #ParisTakeOver for shooting insights about this concept. View SM, our very first shoot for The Rubenist, with a radically open mind and you will find layering underneath, a taste of sensuality and beauty in the roughness of the concept. Just like in real life, it is not always bright and beautiful. But there is beauty everywhere we want it to be. We hope you will enjoy this first issue. We will publish every two months online & will always be available for free with seven or more fashion stories with the commitment to showcase genuine concepts, talented professionals and emerging creative collaborators. An extensive thank you to all the people who worked hard to help me produce this first issue for you & supported this project one way or the other. All my gratitude goes to you! Disruptive, Creative, Inspiring, High-Fashion, Radical, Passionate “I create visual stories linked to fashion and look at clothing with an off-base eye”

Royal Blue is the brightest color aloud to stand out in winter. We have decrypted it’s versatility to change your cold winter nights and add some jazz to your make-up palette. Messy & glossy eyes with matt nude lips are for the daring but you can still make a statement with electrifying nails in royal blue. Fashion Editor, Jasmina Ruben

“The sexuality of women, the idea itself that women can have desires and sexual fantasies, has been considered a taboo for so long; that it has degenerated into having women all over the world thinking that having desires is wrong and “unwomanly”. Only the woman herself, possesses rights to her female desires. SM is the story of the woman who has often felt ashamed of living her sexuality. It’s 2017, let’s put slut shaming to bed and let’s sanctify what the crusaders have once labeled, maliciousness. This editorial was composed by an International team consisting of the creative team of The Rubenist and inspired Parisian artists, who have used light as a medium to express some of the steps to physical and mental sexual liberation. What are your sexual fantasies? Ridge Bhugeloo
