Letter From The Editor: Roll With It

Our 15th anniversary issue arrives on the heels of a particularly significant cultural moment. The week we wrapped the fall issue, my phone was flooded with texts, memes, and voice notes from friends sharing their excitement for the end of Oasisā€™s (achingly) long 15-year hiatus.Ā 

Aside from their era-defining records and enviable style, my admiration for the founding brothers is deeply tied to their honesty. As a once painfully shy teen, the Gallaghers represented true expression, they were themselvesā€”sometimes to their detrimentā€”and for better or for worse, put their familial disagreements on full display, making them oddly relatable.

Even though theyā€™ve each been asked to reunite ad nauseam, they never gave in to public pressure. One could argue that the world missed out on some great Oasis records and concerts, and theyā€™re not wrong. But I would counter that even though it took them 15 years to reconcile, the reunion is happening exactly as itā€™s intended, on their terms, and in their own way. 

Authenticity is a buzzword thatā€™s often overused in our day-to-day discourse. But itā€™s also an attribute I associate with our talented team, as well as the women weā€™ve had the honour of featuring in this issue. 

Whether itā€™s the discernment of our Emmy-nominated cover star Dakota Fanning in picking roles, or the new class of food and beauty entrepreneurs challenging stereotypes in their respective industries, thereā€™s nothing more rewarding than having agency over the path you choose to take, and the change you wish to make.

As we celebrate S Magazineā€™s 15th anniversary, we mark this achievement by recognizing our incredible team of collaborators, past and present, whose contributions have helped us stay faithful to our vision.
