Editor’s Letter
CONTENTS
Dear Reader,
As I sit at my desk admiring the year's evolution from Winter to Spring, I am reminded of how rarely I take the time to breath. Like Façonner's Editorial, I went somewhat into hibernation over the colder months. And as I witness this seasonal landmark that brings with it sun and blue skies, I recount the promise I made to myself at the end of 2011, that
the year 2012 would be to me as it would be to England- one of triumph. I assured myself that through weekly yoga sessions, re-learning French and spending time on my music (a great love), I would find my peace just as Façonner's Editorial would grow grander for going through some re-organization.
It is indeed time now for us all to sit back and think about our fulfillment. In the relentless rush that is often life, it's easy to get caught up and run without whim or reason. But this is after all, life and it is worth bearing in mind that every minute counts- that we should be evolving and moving with its vibration at each given moment. For many of us, this dire ignorance to oxygen is almost ironically, like that very air we breath- a force of nature. I am pleased to note that I have stuck to most of my new year's resolutions and am learning, slowly to stop and appreciate the sensations of the world around me and I hope as you read through the relevant articles in this issue, you too will empathize with that state of being.
Without further ado, I present to you Issue Nine which reflects the current state of Façonner's Editorial and the company in its entirety. Our appreciation of design is evident as we delve deep into the world of one of the most renowned jewellery houses in 'The Little Red Box' (fashion) whilst spatial awareness is contemplated in 'The Significance of Interior Design' (interiors). We admire this year greatly in '2012: England's Year' (Lifestyle) and are honoured therefore to have a conversation with one of fashion's influential women, Ahlya Fateh (fashion). Amongst other pleasing articles in this issue, I would particularly like to draw your attention to my debate on courtesy in 'The Importance of Being Courteous' (lifestyle).
Let's hope that this year we can put all of these things together in an effort to indeed be more courteous, to ourselves, no less.
Enjoy the issue.
Yours Sincerely,
Francesca Barrow.
Founder.
