Dear Readers,

If you’re a daily visitor to our site, you may have noticed a number of changes: a newer, cleaner layout, some minor cosmetic changes, and (most excitingly!) the latest-and-greatest issue of SHEI magazine, free and available to all, on our website!

Issue 19 of SHEI is near and dear to my heart, and I’d like to thank everyone who made it happen, and for the blood, sweat and tears sacrificed to make it work. Our staff and contributors did an extraordinary job dreaming up articles and photoshoots, writing, shooting, modeling and editing, and putting together the final product that is SHEI. Their work paid off: cover-to-cover, this issue is amazing, and I’m extremely proud of it.

It was a rough task, to pick from the best of the best. Nevertheless, I’d like to share with you some of my personal favorites from issue:

• Instant Gratification, p. 13, article by Rhiannon Haller
• Smoke and Mirrors, p. 28, photoshoot
• Fashion Timeline, p. 40, article by Erica Avesian and Koun Bae
• Bedside Manner, p. 46, photoshoot
• Bow Ties, p. 54, article by Alexandra Foster / (a)typical Male, photoshoot
• The tale of the 2000s: A legacy of mainstreamed fashion faux-pas, p. 62, article by Kevin Binder

I hope all of you enjoy this issue as much as I did. If you’d like to share your personal favorites, please do so in the comments!

With regards,

Sagar Deshpade
