Eclectic Universality We live in an eclectic world, with its plethora of cultures, ethnicities and mindsets. Everything we see, feel, hear and think is unique to each of us; our interpretation, moulded by our singular personality. In a world where beauty is defined by constructed images, where difference and typical ideals of beauty has taken unrealistic proportions. People are now acclimatised to a certain vision of “perfection”! But reality is not flawless. Out of this digitally idealised microcosm, a quest for authenticity has emerged. This issue has been a challenge: as we could not get all the realness we wanted in just one publication, let’s say it’s a start to showcasing beauty in any shape, color and style. We shot two editorial series in analog photography with old school film cameras, meaning absolutely no editing and minimum corrections were made to the photographic stories you will discover. We are lucky to have the support of open-minded and creative artists which are ready to show what beauty means to them without staying in conformity. Our sincere acknowledgments go to Azim Moollan for his quirky storytelling and Samer Sider for making sure our very own Mauritian beauty queen, Anne-Sophie Lalanne, would dare show what she was long forced to hide. Being pretty is irrelevant without a personality and eclecticism in your mindset, much like the world we live in. Live, love, think: Eclectic!
