n your hands is the very first issue of Knoxville Style. Maybe the beautiful cover caught your eye, maybe you saw us on social media, or maybe you just want to see what we bring to the already crowded table of magazines. I assure you, we are not just a pretty cover. We have collaborated with talented women from the Knoxville area to provide relevant, interesting, and inspiring articles to enrich what little time you have to browse through the pages. From the latest fashion trends, wardrobe advice, and makeup tips, to interior design ideas, recipes, and wine pairings, our goal is to encourage every woman to embrace her own look and express herself with confidence. Now more than ever, we all could use a celebration of beauty, inside and out. Do you recognize anyone on the cover? Look again. In everyday life, they aren’t quite so glamorous, but they are beautiful, passionate women who serve our community in real, tangible ways. They personify our mission to be the good we want to see. Knoxville Style is for women, by women with an intentional selection of articles to touch the heart, inspire the mind, and enrich the soul. Our entire production team is deeply rooted in Knoxville: the publisher, designer, editor, sales executives, photographers, and every contributor. Together, we will work to feature what is great in this town—our unique style— and I am so grateful for this opportunity and front row seat. We’d love for you to share this issue with a friend, but we won’t tell if you keep it for yourself. Everyone can go to www.knoxvillestylemag.com for much, much more! Katie Rymer Managing Editor
