STYLEetc
Welcome to the summer issue
Summer has finally arrived – a time for holidays, music festivals, daytrips and adventures!
Earlier this year I had an adventure in South Korea’s capital city, Seoul. I discovered a vibrant cosmopolitan culture and burgeoning fashion scene – a far cry from the stark, political propaganda images of the north that frequent our TV
screens. Highlighting the contrast between north and south, read about my tour of the Joint Security Area (p.59), then check out the street-style of Seoul’s famous Gangnam district (p.60).
Back in the UK I was lucky enough to meet another travel enthusiast – fashion designer Mary Katrantzou. With designs that perfectly embody the spirit of adventure, Mary talks about how colour and culture inspire her in our feature interview (p.14).
From sleek & chic whites to playful brights, our fashion editorials present you with an array of wearable styles, suitable for a ‘Manchester’ summer. But not forgetting those of you heading off to somewhere more tropical, we bring you our top ten swimwear picks (p.46-47).
As part of our promise to support up and coming talent, we invited photographers, stylists, make-up artists and models to enter our ‘creatives competition’ and collaborate to produce an editorial spread suitable for STYLEetc’s glossy pages. In the winning shoot (p.41-45) photographer Emma Pilkington captured model Evie (pictured left), on location in Spinningfields.
In the name of beauty, our MD Anna-Louise Gilhooley bravely volunteered to find out first-hand how cosmetic tattooing techniques have advance in recent years. Read about her experience on p.52.
This issue is our most fashion packed yet, but we’ve not forgotten to mention the exciting Manchester International Festival taking place across the city this July (p.66). With eighteen days of art, music and theatre premieres there are many adventures to be had right here on our doorstep.
We’d love to hear about your summer escapades. Tweet us @STYLE_etc and whatever you get up to, do it stylishly!
