Hello Gazetta Family,
I’ll be honest—I didn’t know what to say in this note at first. Lately, my thoughts have been drifting—foggy moments, nostalgia pulling me back, thinking about family and friends far away, the people we don’t see enough, and the memories that linger a little longer than expected. Then it hit me—October had arrived.
Well, October, there’s just something about it. It’s like the world slows down just a touch, and in that stillness, you start noticing the layers of things. There’s a richness to the air, a kind of depth in everything around you that feels both heavy and light at the same time. And that’s what I wanted this issue to capture—the beauty of those layered experiences that we sometimes don’t even realize we’re living.
The cover speaks to this perfectly. Though AI-generated, it feels like a work of art in itself. The model, wrapped in intricate colors and textures, doesn’t just represent fashion—she embodies the layers of culture, history, and personal experiences that define us all. She stands as a reflection of the stories we carry, the moments that shape us, and the richness we add to our lives over time. That’s the essence of Gazetta this month: those unspoken stories, the lives we lead in between the noise.
Inside, we take a deeper look into The Art of Maximalism. There’s something unapologetic about maximalism that resonates—it’s about making space for all that you are, without shrinking or simplifying yourself. It’s a movement that embraces complexity, inviting us to live fully, with intention, and without fear of standing out.
Another feature that stayed with me is Royal Mansour Marrakech. This one hits a little closer to home for me. I was lucky enough to visit it back in 2018, and stepping into that space felt like entering another world—a world where every detail matters. True luxury, to me, is never about the obvious. It’s about the craftsmanship that goes unnoticed by most but transforms the experience for those who know where to look. Royal Mansour is a place where tradition and elegance are living, breathing things. It’s where time stretches, and beauty lies in the thoughtfulness of every decision. It’s another nostalgic moment for me, and I couldn’t help but be transported back while working on this issue.
Then there’s LENIFRO x Fab Morvan, a story that took me down memory lane in more ways than one. I couldn’t help but think of the time when Fab was part of Milli Vanilli. We all remember their rise—and the fall—but what’s more important is how Fab reinvented himself from that moment on. His journey isn’t just about music or fashion—it’s about taking what life throws at you and turning it into something new, something powerful. Reinvention isn’t easy; it’s messy and often done quietly, but it’s one of the most courageous things we do.
This issue is full of moments like that—whether it’s the groundbreaking creativity in fashion, the understated elegance of luxury, or the raw honesty of personal transformation. October is about change, about letting those experiences add layers to who we are without rushing through them.
So, as you move through this issue, I hope you find a moment to pause, breathe it all in, and reflect on the richness of your own experiences and what they’ve taught you. We’re all in this season of transformation, after all. Let’s embrace it together.
With warmth,
