April is always a crazy busy month in office and it’s all about fashion. Not only are we ooing and ahing over the revelations of the Autumn-Winter shows, but we’re also putting together our big biannual fashion feature. Fernanda has been working harder than ever to bring you a record number of trends and I’m happy to say there’s something to suite every taste, shape, age and budget. So, make sure you check out our pages before you do your holiday shopping.
In this month’s interview section, we have the pleasure of introducing the island’s first ever Women Power Summit. We’re partnering with organisers Obai & Hill to bring you all the information on this fab event, which is all about encouraging women into the workforce and helping them blossom and grow. I also spoke to Eileen Abuhamad about the ongoing development of Words Bookstore Cafe as a community hub. Celeb chef Dima Al Sharif answered some questions ahead of her visit to the island — and had so much to say that we’ve featured her full interview online at www.womanthismonth.com and, sticking with a foodie theme, Tariq Jaberi explained the concept behind his organic farm where people can pick their own veggies — now, that really is a welcome development.
In the beauty section, you’ll find tips from celebrity stylist Asgar Saboo and how to keep your hair looking great during hot weather — just right for us here as the mercury rises — and Apple gives you the lowdown on how to get a perfect sunkissed blush.
This month’s Chef’s Special is also celebrity inspired with a student of Michelin-starred Oliver Glowig sharing his kitchen secrets. And lucky Behnaz got to try out the delisous fare at newly opened Miam restaurant — I’ll be following her recommendations when I visit.
As always, there’s travel and homes and much, much more and we’re still working on Woman This Month’s new-look website, where you’ll find regular competitions, news updates and more. Have a look and let me know what you think either on social media or write to [email protected]
