www.womanthismonth.com October 2016 6 Phew, what a scorcher. After one of the hottest summers on record, I, for one, am very, very glad it’s finally cooling down (though not quite enough to entice me onto my bike just yet). With the new season comes our regular round-up of the best new fashions from the catwalks and ateliers of the hottest designers. As always, Fernanda Langhammer has put her years of experience to good use to come up with ways for you to adapt the latest looks to suit your wardrobe. From funky sportswear to Diva Deluxe, you’ll find it all in our major fashion feature. You’re welcome! To top off our fashion focus, I spoke to Bahrain-based designer Thelna Esterhuizen and, as you can see below, I was rather taken with the contents of her workshop and showroom! October is also the month when we go slightly pink crazy as it seems the whole world is working to increase awareness of breast cancer. Our interviews this month include Lamees Alhassar, who’s written several books on coping with cancer, and Bob Suri, of the Four Seasons, whose property is going all out to help. We’ve also got a full rundown of the official Think Pink calendar, there really are so many ways to get involved and show your support from brunches to golfing and more. And, in our Wellness section, Behnaz Sanjana speaks to Julie Sprakel, founder of Think Pink, to learn more about the psychological and physical effects of the disease and strategies for coping with them. In our lifestyle section chef Anurag Sinha, of the Ramee Grand Hotel & Spa, shares one of his favourite recipes, which I’m very much looking forward to trying at home, and Puja Tiwari takes us on a trip to some of the world’s greatest fashion capitals. We’ve also got our usual round-up of the latest in beauty products plus a selection of the lotions and potions our favourite celebs have developed. And, if you’re planning a Halloween celebration, don’t miss the parenting section for tips on costumes, spooky snacks and more. Happy reading. chairman & publisher GEORGE F MIDDLETON editorial director LIZ O'REILLY marketing & electronic media director DEEPA SIVA fashion & beauty editor FERNANDA LANGHAMMER contributors APPLE SHARMA BEHNAZ SANJANA PUJA TIWARI DR JINAN DARWISH RAPHAEL LAMAR KANAFANI print production manager SABU SEBASTIAN layout & graphics ROMEO SAN MIGUEL GOPAL NAMBIAR media coordinator SARAH ANSARI media managers FARHEEN AHMED PEARLYN D MEHTA circulation KADAMBARI S photography editor MONA ABDUL JABBAR photographers RANJITH MOHAN SUBEESH KUMAR NS printing press UNION PRESS, BAHRAIN Contents copyrighted 2016© Reproduction in whole or in part by any means without the express written consent of the publisher is prohibited.
