November is the Elegance issue of Emirates Woman.

Jessica Michault Emirates Woman

It marks the end of one era, thanks to the annual Emirates Woman Awards, which takes place this time each year and honours the exceptional women who have graced the pages of this magazine over the past twelve months. But it also signals the start of a new one.

And if we are going to riff on the Taylor Swift eras concept, I would say that Emirates Woman is actually entering its epoch of elegance. But what does that mean exactly you might ask? Quite a few things. As devoted readers of this magazine will note, we have decided to take a stance to spend the time needed to craft thought provoking articles, features, and opinion pieces.

We are going to have cover story profiles and sumptuous editorial fashion shoots. And we will hunt out the new, the exciting, and the heartfelt, so that each magazine will embody the issues women are facing and help them not just navigate, but shape, the world we live in.

Examples of this transformation can be found in a number of places, from the The Age of Elegance cover story with Vialina Lemann and the Into the Night fashion shoot to the numerous interviews with impressive women making change in the world. Women like Sheikha Jawaher bint Abdullah Al Qasimi, the Director of FANN and the Sharjah International Film Festival for Children and Youth, Miral Youssef, the President of Kering Middle East and Africa (page 66), Assia Grazioli-Venier, the venture capitalist and co-owner the Italy SailGP team,  and Indian designer Anamika Khanna.

This magazine is a bold new step into the future of what Emirates Woman is going to look like as it begins its 45th year. And what is more elegant than continuing to challenge yourself, to strive to do better and most of all… dream bigger.

Cue The Drama

With a heavy hitter call sheet that includes everyone from Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts and Niecy Nash-Betts to Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson, and Glenn Close the new Ryan Murphy series All’s Fair, which debuts Nov 4th, is going to be a scene-stealing, scenery chewing extravaganza of diva proportions. And I am here for it.
