From the editor

Although I was bummed I couldn’t attend the Winston-Salem Fashion Week opening reception, I am excited for all the future events I can still take part in.

My mom is a fashion stylist so this event is near and dear to my heart — I know how much she would enjoy it if she was here in Winston-Salem.
