FOR THE FIRST ISSUE OF THE NEW DECADE, THE SLEEK TEAM WANTED TO PUT THE CONCEPT OF GLAMOUR UNDER THE MICROSCOPE. IT FEELS NORMAL NOW TO SEE A GLAMOROUS WOMAN IN FAKE NAILS AND FASHION THAT DOESN’T ATTEMPT TO LOOK ‘DRESSED DOWN’ TALK ABOUT GROOMING AND CURRENT AFFAIRS, BUT A DECADE AGO, IT WASN’T A COMBINATION OF CHARACTERISTICS THAT MANY MAINSTREAM FASHION PUBLICATIONS ENDORSED. IF YOU WERE BORN IN THE MID-EIGHTIES, THERE WAS A REAL FEELING THAT DRESSING UP AND INDULGING IN GLAMOUR MADE YOU FRIVOLOUS – SOMETHING THAT NEGATED INTELLECT.
OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, BEHAVIOURS HAVE CHANGED AND A NEW GENERATION HAS TRANSFORMED ITS ATTITUDE TO GLAMOUR: NOW, PEOPLE SEE IT AS AN ATTRIBUTE, A PLATFORM OR JUST SOMETHING TO ENJOY. TO GAIN A GREATER UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THIS SHIFT IN PERCEPTION SLEEK SELECTED A GROUP OF ARTISTS, PHOTOGRAPHERS AND WRITERS TO PICK APART THE THEME OF GLAMOUR.
