With the holidays upon us, this month's AVENUE is all about the spirit of the season; we bring you the personal stories of a beloved designer who found strength and support from SL in facing a serious real-life illness, and an artist who found an outlet for creativity and connection amid her own real-life difficulties. Our stylists bring you the best new looks for the season, and our interior design feature is sure to give you some ideas for holiday shopping. All this plus our interview with SL style icon blackliquid Tokyoska, new ideas for how to spend your leisure time, a look at an upcoming art project featuring some of SL's best fashion photos, and a spotlight on one of SL's hottest DJs, is waiting for you in the December issue of AVENUE.
