Giving thanks is what this month is all about. It’s the time of year when a shift in seasonal weather induces a shift in our mental state. We begin to reflect on the year now coming close to an end in order to start thinking about what we want for the next. Our loved ones come together for the obligatory holiday outings, and though we often forget, we soon begin to remember what keeps us going all year long and what brings those most cherished together to one table... food. Let’s be real, it’s true. Why do we love to over indulge this time of year in a glutinous rage of frenzy? Because it’s comforting, it’s delicious, and despite what some of our models may say, eating is what we do to stay alive. It manages to bring together all walks of life in peaceful harmony, as it did at the first Thanksgiving, and as it will do for years to come.

Giving thanks is what this month is all about.<br />
It’s the time of year when a shift in seasonal<br />
weather induces a shift in our mental state.<br />
We begin to reflect on the year now coming<br />
close to an end in order to start thinking<br />
about what we want for the next. Our loved<br />
ones come together for the obligatory holiday<br />
outings, and though we often forget, we soon<br />
begin to remember what keeps us going all year<br />
long and what brings those most cherished<br />
together to one table... food.<br />
Let’s be real, it’s true. Why do we love to<br />
over indulge this time of year in a glutinous<br />
rage of frenzy? Because it’s comforting, it’s<br />
delicious, and despite what some of our models<br />
may say, eating is what we do to stay alive.<br />
It manages to bring together all walks of life<br />
in peaceful harmony, as it did at the first<br />
Thanksgiving, and as it will do for years to<br />
come.<br />
With that, we’ve been pretty hungry and<br />
thought this might be a good time to showcase<br />
some food... and fashion, of course. We open<br />
this issue with “Favorite Foods” by the<br />
talented Ila Schaffer, which highlights the<br />
best of junk food through knitwear. From<br />
there, your mouth will water through several<br />
other culinary highlights including Matt<br />
Solomon’s “See Food,” Nick Proot’s “Food Is<br />
Fashion,” Julia Kiecksee’s “From Turkey With<br />
Love,” and Maggi Mariela’s “Dinner For Two.”<br />
Additionally, we had to pay tribute to our<br />
Thanksgiving founders, so we’re proud to<br />
showcase Anna Theodora’s “Solo Tribe” and<br />
Salvador Pozo’s “Azteca.” Of course, November<br />
wouldn’t be complete without some “Movember”<br />
love to menswear in Marta Balastequi’s<br />
“Sharpest Fall” and some seasonal luxuries in<br />
Helen Sobiralski’s “Dark Harvest.”<br />
Stay tuned for our last and final installation<br />
of 2013. The December Issue, a tribute to the<br />
best of our 2013 features, curated by color.<br />
Happy Thanksgiving,<br />
