Editorial Note: Being the editor of a fashion
magazine is a dream job. It’s also one of the most difficult jobs in the
world because you rarely get hours off to relax or even let loose a
bit. You are either on the phone talking with designers, scheduling
interviews, making plans with photographers, the team, the amazing
models or sometimes you may just find yourself on the plane travelling
to another country to attend a fashion show. It’s a blessing though.
What really gets my heart pumping is the belief that someday, all this,
will mean something to the people who get to connect with the work we
have done and with the work we continue to do.
One question I get asked a lot is “How do we plan our covers?” and the
honest truth is sometimes even I don’t know how we do it. All I know is
when you are blessed with a great team who believe in your vision,
anything and everything in life is possible. On our November cover is a
gorgeous African singer who is completely dedicated to her craft. She is
a terrific vocalist, a mother to an adorable girl and is a Globacom
Ambassador. WAJE brings the spark to our cover this month and each time I
think about WAJE, she reminds me so much of Tina Turner on stage. Her
live performances always leave me speechless and each single she has
ever performed has always had so much energy in it. She loves to laugh,
she loves life and she loves to sing. This month, WAJE shares everything
with Zen; from her new singles to her plans for a new album. We also
get to know more about her musical career, and what she feels about
African fashion.
Our fashion team have rounded up the best new trends in the fashion
section, while our team features have got exclusive interviews with plus
size model Philomena Kwao, Pop singer Dencia and Afro Solidstar.
We have also been chatting to top model, Linda Tatiene Sanogo, who
shows us her artistic side via 10 witty and seriously gorgeous images.
It’s another competition month, and this time we have 2 gorgeous
customized iPhone cases, courtesy of Kende London up for Grabs.
