This issue was a true labor of love. Like long nights, layered ideas, wild learning curves, and the kind of creative stretch that remind me exactly why I chose this work. Ideating, pitching, writing, editing and creative directing this many stories for the Fall/Winter Issue was the biggest gift.
Still trying to find a stronger word than grateful.
Holding a special place in my heart for those who put up with the crazy along the journey.
Thank you!
