WINTER 2017 SNEAK PEEK

EDITOR’S LETTER

Wow I can’t believe how fast this year has gone by. PAGE has completed two full years of publication. As a new magazine it is always important to find your niche, and we think that our online readers, print subscribers and social media followers have helped us tremendously in our endeavor.

With PAGE we set out to build something from scratch… we are not a huge corporation we are truly a couple of people who love photography beauty, fashion and interesting stories. We strive to present interesting stories without bombarding our readers with wordy articles, we want to present worthwhile reading coupled with appealing graphics and layouts. As we venture into 2018 PAGE will continue to share our favorite products, people, adventures and stories with you.

In this issue our cover features the beautiful singer Coko Clemons of SWV fame and her handsome son Jalen. I can’t tell you how much fun we had shooting the photos for this issue; I really have to hand it to Coko for putting up with our off key singing of SWV hits!

Jalen or @paidwithjays as he known on IG, was an absolute professional in front of the camera. Many thanks to mother and son for sharing their personal lives with us for this special Holiday Issue of PAGE. The Me Too Movement is real but it is a shame that abuse even exists on this level. Read Quiet on page… Don’t let your voice be silenced by anyone.

About Beauty… Just when you think there is nothing new in products here comes the Korean Beauty Product Industry bringing so many innovative ideas… read the K-Beauty Takeover on page 16.

Also in this issue Boots and Coats rule the winter! Get some inspiration as we trek from Winter 17 into Winter 18.

Product Junkie gives out the award for her favorite product of the year! Finally, she likes something LOL. Enough from me…. Turn the PAGE and enjoy!

Shout out to a few of our followers @asia_geiger @ceeceeluvbug @debinthecity @cozzette Thanks Everyone for Supporting PAGE Magazine!
