Afer overcoming the past eight months of winter, Canadians more than anyone can appreciate the pleasant prelude to summertime. SHE celebrates the shif in season this issue with a wrap-up of some of Europe and North America’s most established names in fashion including Vera Wang and Gaultier that have all called upon the South Asian subcontinent for inspiration EDITOR behind their Spring/Summer 2013 collections. Besides the S.M. Kamran Zaidi heavyweights, we also examine South Asians at New York Fashion Week. From Falguni & Shane Peacock to Prabal Gurung, it is clear South Asian design talent is here to stay in the West. Speaking of the West, it has become commonplace for local traditions to be adopted by second and third generation Canadians. One such tradition synonymous with the month of May is Mother’s Day. An American invention, Mother’s Day was frst celebrated in 1908 by Anna Jarvis for her late mother. She then began campaigning for its recognition as an ofcial holiday and by 1914 it was. In celebration of the holiday it is customary to ofer a gif, fowers or a card in praise of one’s maternal fgure. In SHE’s May issue we pay tribute to the maternal fgure’s role in all our lives with the newly added SHE Parenting section. Finally, how could I not make mention of our cover girl? Te Best Exotic Marigold Hotel brought many British flm legends together including Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith and of course Dev Patel of Slumdog Millionaire fame. Te critically acclaimed flm also features newcomer Tena Desae playing Sunaina, Patel’s on-screen love interest. Whispered to be Hollywood’s next Frieda Pinto, we invite you to discover what makes Desae distinctly diferent. Who does SHE think she is? Stick around and fnd out. 6 SHE CANADA MOTHER’S DAY GIFT GUIDE It’s that time of the year again!

It was fascinating and that was when I fell in love with food, travel and people of the world. 8 SHE CANADA SHE Canada is a fantastic combination of East meets I enjoyed the Missoni x Holt Renfrew feature, especially West. In your February issue there is one piece about in light of all the headlines the Missoni family has been Bollywood legend Madhuri Dixit followed by the making lately. It really seems like Margherita Missoni cover story on Hollywood actress Noureen DeWulf. isn’t just another bored, privileged it-girl. SHE manages to fuse the two worlds efortlessly and I applaud the refreshing take on South Asian-Canadian Daania, Karachi, Pakistan culture. Owais Lightwala’s story was a nice read, but to say that Gayatri, Hamilton he’s breaking down cultural boundaries in Toronto’s theater scene is a bit of a stretch, no? I was thrilled to read about Yasmeen Ghauri afer all these years. Having been one of the few ethnic faces in Sehrash, North York fashion back in the ‘80s and ‘90s, she really did change the game. It would be amazing to see her back on the I loved the theme of the February issue. It’s truly amaz- scene again! ing to think that South Asians have conquered so many diferent industries, from fashion to business. Maia, Pickering Yasmine, Los Angeles, CA Tis month’s article that caught my attention the most was Noureen DeWulf, I am actually a big fan of her work and currently a big fan of Anger Management. It was interesting to know more about her life and her work. I am defnitely a bigger fan now that I know much more. Sana, Lahore, Pakistan Te piece on Princess Jasmine was defnitely a surprise as this is not something you usually see in a fashion or lifestyle magazine. It shows how diferent this magazine is from others. Te pieces in this issue are interest- ing and they help me learn something new as well to explore the people, fashion, stories and culture of South Asia without leaving the country. Sherin, Scarborough I loved the supermarket shopping guide! Finally, some straight answers on how to eat healthy! I loved the advice to “shop the perimeter” frst, something I’ve been doing ever since I read the article. Alina, Bufalo, NY SHE CANADA 9 Who has time to DIY?
