THE CONTRIBUTORS • What did you work on for the issue?

EDITOR’S LETTER • FOR ME, IT ALL COMES BACK TO 1991. DESPITE LIVING IN RURAL HAMPSHIRE, GIANNI VERSACE CAMPAIGNS WERE MY WALLPAPER, VOGUE WAS MY SOUNDTRACK, AND IN BED WITH MADONNA INTRODUCED ME TO A DAZZLING WORLD OF DANCING, SHOWMANSHIP AND GLAMOUR.

THE FRONT • Spring is screeching into view, and with it comes a fresh crop of designers, artists and must-buys that you need in your life. Rejuvenate your style by letting your chest breathe and baring your belly (or both if you’re brave). Start with box-fresh boxers and build from there.
