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! Te tulips are in full bloom, the air is losing its perpetual chill and we’re beginning to shed the multiple layers of clothing from the past two seasons. It’s also time to celebrate the most important women in our lives—our mothers and grandmothers. What do you get for the woman who tells you she already has everything? SHE Online is happy to share. We’ve put together a very scientifc focus group of several mothers and found some surprising insights into what they really want. So skip the fowers this year—these ideas will last much longer than 3 to 5 days. Visit http://shemagazine.ca for more!

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.
