www.womanthismonth.com April 2017 6 What a lot there is happening this month. All the new spring-summer fashions are finally in the shops and I've been looking through hundreds [possibly even thousands] of catwalk images to pick out the trends for the coming season. As usual, many of the designers' visions are more than a little over the top. Even the most bold and confident of us would be unlikely to venture out naked with just a shred of finest, transparent gossamer to protect our modesty [thank goodness]. I've had great fun coming up with ways to adapt the current trends to our everyday lives and I'm really looking forward to donning a bit of boho punk. Let us know your favourite trend on our social media pages. Our interview section this month includes an exclusive chat with Katrina Kaif. She's ambassador for one of the biggest fashion and lifestyle brands in the region and we met her when she visited for the launch of the latest collections. It was lovely to learn those dangerous curves don't make it to the gym every day! We also caught up with entrepreneur Francine Pinhal who's about to launch her own factory and food business. As well as new collections, spring is the time when many of us start thinking about our annual vacation. If you're not heading 'home', the decision on where to go can be a tough one. Take a look at our travel pages for a solution which covers several destinations in one go There’s also our regular round-up of fashion and beauty news, events coming up on the island and fabulous food as well as an in-depth look at insomnia in our wellbeing pages and some thoughts on the increasingly popular Mummy Makeover from a medical expert. We hope you enjoy this month's mag and would love to hear your thoughts. chairman & publisher GEORGE F MIDDLETON editorial director LIZ O'REILLY contributors APPLE SHARMA BEHNAZ SANJANA PUJA TIWARI DR JINAN DARWISH RAPHAEL OUIAM CHARKANI EL HASSANI head of digital operations NEIL F VAZ print production manager SABU SEBASTIAN layout & graphics ROMEO SAN MIGUEL JAYATH TEKI media coordinator SARAH ANSARI media managers FARHEEN AHMED circulation KADAMBARI S research assistant, sales and database coordinator ADITI PRASAD photography editor MONA ABDUL JABBAR photographers RANJITH MOHAN SUBEESH KUMAR NS printing press UNION PRESS, BAHRAIN Contents copyrighted 2017© Reproduction in whole or in part by any means without the express written consent of the publisher is prohibited.
