“In this issue, we draw inspiration from the arts”

The Coronavirus is still living amongst us, with many parts of The world experiencing new and troublesome variants. The first Covid-19 vaccines rollout is underway, but help isn’t arriving fast enough; many people are losing their lives or loved ones, hospitals are bulging at the seams. It feels as if days are moving slowly while the world is changing fast. We’re innovating, adjusting and always looking for inspiration to keep us motivated.

In this issue of Glamour, we draw inspiration from the arts. Each section represents different forms and mediums of the artistic world. Our edgy beauty story and African-art-meetsfashion spread are bold, daring and stimulating. In Memoirs, we introduce you to several artists whose work we admire – and offer advice on investing in them.

We also look at art as a form of expression and healing, and share with you different ways of living well, with intention, despite the chaos surrounding us. Nigerian superstar
