Current Issue

As the half way point of the year creeps up on us, we tend to reflect on the achievements of first few months of the year and look towards the exciting possibilities the rest of the year may hold. With this in mind, Issue 32 provides an injection of optimism and positivity with our Happiness Issue just before the colder months set in.

Cover beauty Zooey Deschanel has branched out this year with her foray into music and discusses her first album with Kristy Bradley. Zooey also tells YEN about her reservations and the rewards of recording an album and how singing makes her happy.

Our team of writers have complied a fabulous array of articles that discuss, encourage and inspire happiness. Inna Segal will get you thinking about happiness and how to factor more of it into your life, Sarah Ayoub gives you pages of practical tips to max your happiness and improve your thinking and we profile Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, a British born woman who converted to Buddhism and is seeking gender equality within the religion.

Snap Happy sees seven different photographers capture happiness, and fashion of course, in different forms and document it for YEN readers. A Little Big Love Story offers layered, hippy looks which embrace colour rather than the traditional Autumnal colour palette in our fashion feature and Fashion Director Imogene Barron proves in Divine White that wearing white should not just be confined to Summer.

A sneak peek of the fifth annual Curvy art book is nestled between our profile of the top five most blissful countries on earth and this month's muse; Jose Ramos-Horta. Curvy launched nationally with exhibitions and parties in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne to celebrate the growing number of talented female artists that reside on our shores and overseas.

Enjoy the issue and get glowing, get happy and get out there! From the YEN team.
