Sometimes I would take the train to work if I couldn't catch a ride with my colleague. The best thing about going to the train station is that I could pop in to the newsstand and revel in the many magazines that they have. So last Monday, I went about my usual ritual, and this caught my eye...



...and I knew I just had to have it. It's probably the burst of color and the eclectic decor on the front cover of Elle Decor Czech Republic. I was saving a post about it as a tear sheet entry, but then I read Holly Becker's post on decor8 about her love for magazines that I thought a linkback to her post would be just the perfect companion for it. (Coincidence that it's Elle, no?) Holly has articulated it so very well and it is the way I feel about it also. Nothing can beat snuggling up under a warm cover reading a book or flipping through a magazine sipping a warm cup of tea. That, plus my love for prints. Though I enjoy perusing digital mags occasionally, there is something about being in print that simply beckons. Now you know why STYL will also be in print. :)

Welcome to STYL! My name is Riz Sedek and I'm writing this as a pre-launch greeting to welcome you to the new magazine. I have been wanting to create a magazine since my college days. At that time the idea seems to be huge, and I didn't exactly know the how or even the what, though I had an inkling of an idea that I wanted it to celebrate the arts and the indie's. Fast forward several years, two job changes, a move to another country, and of course several more candles on the birthday cake, and I'm writing to you now in preparation for the launch. Sometimes you just have to stop, drop, and roll with it. I enjoy designing the pages for the magazine and organizing its contents with other talented indie artists around, and seeing them in print where I can touch and feel is really what makes me tick. I hope that you will enjoy the magazine and if you have any questions, please do drop me a line at hellostyl[at]stylmagazine.com.

I'll leave you with this article to ponder. See you (right here) at our launch.

xo, Riz
Your Editor in Chief
