<strong>Summer</strong> has finally arrived and with it comes<br />
warm days and hot trends. Our <strong>Summer</strong> In<br />
The City issue zeroes in on the city girl - how<br />
an urban fashionista survives the summer heat<br />
and looks good getting it all done in the big city.<br />
I’m sharing some incredible designer summer<br />
splurges that you won’t want to miss [<strong>NICHE</strong> Style<br />
Guide, page 58], and my Editor’s Edition roundup<br />
of unique home and personal <strong>style</strong> items truly<br />
are “love at first touch” [Touch and Go, page 10].<br />
We are celebrating phenomenal women in this issue!<br />
See how model citizens Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, Rosie<br />
Hungtinton-Whiteley and Kate Bosworth do summer<br />
street <strong>style</strong> [Fashion Forward, page 15], learn about the<br />
rise of design icon Kate Spade [Fashion Legend, page 46],<br />
and read about the exceptional life of sizzling screen star<br />
Sophia Loren [Icon, page 60].<br />
Exclusive shoots in this issue took the <strong>NICHE</strong> team<br />
all over the globe! I spent time in Bali, producing a<br />
summer fashion feature that is just for us plus size girls<br />
[<strong>Summer</strong> Curves Reinvented, page 70] and I travelled to<br />
Toronto to share West Queen West’s unique street art<br />
[The Travelling Editor, page 80]. Style Editor Josie Saldat<br />
took a fabulous road trip along Tasmania’s East Coast<br />
[Travel With <strong>NICHE</strong>, page 52] and came home to curate<br />
a summer vintage inspired fashion shoot at the retro<br />
Hotel Zed [Shoot, page 26].<br />
This is the season to take life a little slower and give<br />
yourself permission to not only stop and smell the roses,<br />
but linger a little longer in those special little shops and<br />
spend more time with friends on your favourite patio!<br />
Warmest wishes,<br />
