The faces behind this issue share how their sense of style has evolved over the past decade

Winnipeg-based photographer Teri Hofford captured Hello Darling designer Miriam Delos Santos for “Band leader” (PAGE 8). Her book, The Geode Theory: Chipping Away at Body Image, encourages readers to reframe their relationship with their bodies. It also helped Hofford come to terms with who she is and how she dresses. One fashion notion that she’s happy to have left behind is the feeling that she needs to dress like everyone else, especially when it comes to a particularly trendy item of clothing. “Attempting to wear low-rise jeans that I constantly had to pull up is a fad that I am glad to be done with,” she says.

Lauren Tamaki is an illustrator and designer who lives in Brooklyn, N.Y. Here, she has illustrated the new Personal Style column (PAGE 46), which will be featured on the back page of each issue. She says that no longer working in an office means that her style has become more casual over the past decade. “No more pencil skirts,” she says. “And I have pretty much completely ditched heels.” Tamaki is currently illustrating a book about how Dorothea Lange, Toyo Miyatake and Ansel Adams photographed the internment of Japanese Americans during the Second World War. It will be released next fall.

Makeup and hair artist Aniya Nandy worked on “Uncommon thread” (PAGE 13), a story about Chanel’s first eco-certified tweeds, and was inspired by the bold eye makeup look from the label’s latest cruise collection show. Based in Toronto, Nandy says that over the past 10 years, her style has evolved to focus more on the shapes and textures that are better suited to her body shape, an outlook that included saying goodbye to skinny denim. “Overall, I'm really into the oversized silhouettes,” she says.
