letter from the editor

Spring has officially sprung, and it has us feeling a renewed sense of inspiration—for our beauty looks, our outfits, and our souls. This issue, aptly themed The Spring Issue, is meant to do the same thing for you. We want you to relish in novel spring trends like butter-yellow everything, dark-rose lips, Palm Beach chic, and all things indie sleaze (we’re coining “messy girl spring” right now).

However, this issue isn’t only a collection of spring trends. It also details the long-awaited launch of Serena Williams' new makeup brand, WYN Beauty. Yes, that’s pronounced like “win,” a word Williams is very familiar with.

We had the dreamy chance to go to Williams’ farm in Florida. We watched her play a little tennis, shot her in couture near a chicken coop, and discussed everything from athleticism to entrepreneurship and beauty products to her family and navigating motherhood as a megastar. We also tried every single one of her products—WYN Beauty is launching a curated collection of 10 to start, and then many more are still to come. To say this is a dream come true would be an understatement (for our team and our readers).

Is your interest sufficiently piqued? Read on for more. I hope you love it.
