Manner ISSUE 1 | Page 9

Editor's letter Hello.. I should probably start by introducing myself... I'm Sophie. Last year I got married in New York to my lovely husband Mark, I also have an 8 year old Staffy, Minnie. I can often be found sipping G&T's, reading the fashion bible or preaching about how to pronounce Ralph Lauren. I love fashion, well more so what people do with fashion. What I truly love is seeing people's individual style, the way they present themselves, their Manner. I love the way fashion can tell you so much about a person before you even meet them - it's a complete refl ection of one's personality. What we choose to wear tells everyone what type of person we are and what we think of ourselves. I wanted to remind people that there are some fantastic shops on our little island. I know how easy it is to get stuck in a rut, shop in the same places and never see what's available. This publication will showcase what Jersey has to offer and perhaps introduce you to new boutiques. This new and exciting venture is the fi rst for Jersey and is aimed at those who follow fashion trends but adapt and modify them to suit their own unique style. It has been such fun putting this fi rst issue together, huge thanks must go to all the contributors, advertisers and photographers who helped make this possible. I hope you enjoy reading Manner as much as I enjoyed working on it. Have a good summer, see you on the beach ;) 9
