April 2010

As we enjoy the warmer weather, we appreciate the simple pleasures of Spring - the greening of the grass, wearing sundresses, going barefoot in the park, and a livening of spirits as we look forward to being outside and active. These casual comforts are what we capture in our April issue, from garden inspired dresses of Cettina to au naturale beauty hues to happy childhood memories evoked in the scents of master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. With Earth Day around the corner, we check out the many green initiatives around the city and spotlight the women who are working hard to make the planet a better place for other women, from Angela Rose’s courageous advocacy of victims of sexual violence to handbag designer Tytania Rose’s founding of The Nang Fah Project to help young girls in Thailand. Socially-conscious, environmentally-aware, substantive, casual, fun, flirty, pink, coral, green, floral. April is all this and more.
