LETTER FROM THE EDITORS:

It’s been an incredibly tumultuous semester (although isn’t it safe to say that every semester is filled with it’s own unique hurdles?) and since returning from London, I’ve begun to fully assume my position as co-editor of NYChic. From frantically pulling from designers, coordinating mod-els and photo-shoots, and researching articles, this issue has finally come together. I feel honored and blessed to have been able to work with extremely talented make up artists, photographers, designers, and writers that have made this issue of NYChic the best yet! I’ve gained so much insight from this past semester and have rigorously honed my editor-in-chief skills so that every subsequent issue will be more exciting and innovative than the last.In my opinion, fashion has become rather stale in the past few years, but from what I’ve seen there’s a new crop of artistic talent and they’re ready to voraciously tear the conservative edge off fashion and bring innovation and raw creativity back to the industry. I would like to thank my co-editor and mentor Andrea Ng for sharing my vision and passion for edge and innovation, and supporting me when I find myself on shaky ground—and of course, all of you for being fierce and fabulous!

XOXO,Tina LiuCo-Editor in Chief

Hurdle after hurdle, the end seems near but yet more obstacles are thrown at us. It seems as if Anna Wintour, Editor-in-Chief God, is out there making sure that endless obstacles are constantly thrown at all the wannabes in or-der to make them breathe, sweat, and live their magazine. Each issue, we hope to outdo the previous one and this issue, we have definitely exceeded our expectations. However, being perfectionists, our team will never be satis-fied. Special thanks to my other half, Tina Liu, for always being on the same page and keeping up with the pace and many thanks to the NYChic Design Team for being so creatively innovative and working so efficiently in such a short period of time.

Stay tuned! The best has yet to come!Andrea NgCo Editor-in-Chief
