THE EDITOR’S LETTER
Wow, XO Magazine is almost a year old, and look how much we accomplished! I just want
to thank all our readers who have stuck by our side since the very begining and the new readers who are begining this new chapter with us. Many changes have been happening in the XO camp; one of the biggest ones being the launch of XO Image, a editorial only supplement to XO. For the first issue, I wanted to give you guys a intro to what will come in future issues. The theme for this issue is ‘Fearless’. Not being afraid to wear what you want, not being afraid of how people will judge you; we wanted to focus on being strong in your own look. All of our models confidently rock this month’s hottest looks without a care in the world. So go out this month, purchase a crazy studded jacket, daring Louboutins or Jeffrey Campbell heels! Strut your stuff boldly, confidently and most importantly fearlessly! Le’Keisha Sims Editor in Chief
