Verve - April 2018

In this issue

When we began ideating for our annual fashion issue we decided to focus on the many factors that influence the industry, such as art, commerce, and the evolving identity of the consumer -- and how they play an important role in shaping the collective aesthetic that eventually defines eras.

Our cover girl, the newly-turned platinum Lisa Haydon — supermodel and silver screen scene-stealer — who plays her part on the national and global stage, gave us insights on how she reinvents herself in a changing world to stay ahead of the curve. Her effortless style, sassy spontaneity, and fearless opinions, seen so effectively on social media platforms, go a long way into keeping her brand viable, even after motherhood.
