Welcome Note W Sarah Harrelson and Carlos Suarez at the Stella McCartney store opening at Bal Harbour. Publisher/Editor in Chief Sarah G. Harrelson Publisher/Creative Director Carlos A. Suarez e were so inspired by the Spring shows that narrowing down the trends we most wanted to highlight in this issue was no easy feat. But, there were some looks that we could just not live without. Sure, prints have paraded down the catwalk plenty of times be- fore, but never have we seen them in such glory as these latest com- binations (yes, it's ok to pair stripes and polka-dots) and variety—everything from paisley (Stella McCartney) to avian prints (Carolina Herrera). Tesh, a veteran fashion photographer, and fashion director Deborah Afshani proved just how elegant these prints can look. Their fantastic collaboration is our cover story. With major houses turning out some of their best glamour gowns, there were plenty of showstopper dresses that begged to be covered. See how lensman Greg Lotus and super stylist Mary Alice Stephenson captured them so beautifully in a garden that had plenty of glamour of its own. Anyone who is bored by the traditional trappings of suit dressing will be delighted in the new suit, presented this season by a younger crop of designers, such as Prabal Gurung and Libertine. These less-serious suits are perfectly playful for day or night. Inspired by Chanel's magical Spring show, photographer Ruven Afanador took a shine to all the iridescent looks of the season and created a fanciful, sea-life motif that will leave you swept away. We hope as you are doing your Spring shopping you will be armed with plenty of inspiration—and of course, our magazine in tow. Spring is all about making bold statements with prints; here, we share a few of our inspirations. Publisher/Creative Director Carlos A. Suarez Publisher/Editor in Chief Sarah G.
