What’s in Lucire issue 38?
Most anniversary issues are nostalgic. This one, the closest to our 20th anniversary, isn’t: we’re preferring to look forward. We ponder whether the influencer has had their day; we talk to Coco Rocha, designer Brooke Da Cruz, and the king of avant-garde hair, Derek Elvy, as his Buoy Salon & Spa turns 30; and we have our “homecomings” to Tahiti and Montréal—though visiting the Moai at Rapa Nui is new. Find out what’s in our latest number, in print, or for Ipad, Android or as a PDF, or order right here
