The Growth Issue
The month of March brings to mind the beginning of spring — of new life and re-emergence, of starting fresh and sprouting up from the cold, hard ground. Daiyan Trisha graces our digital cover this month as she dons pieces from the H&M Studio SS24 collection, exuding an aura of comfort and ease with new ways to encourage self-expression. Reflecting on her journey as an artiste, an arbiter of fashion, and now an author, Daiyan explores what it means to take courage and be vulnerable with her feelings as she puts it out for the world to see.

On Growth
“Growth is a relationship with yourself. It’s about facing head-first everything that has broken you, and to be able to look at the pain and say, ‘I’m not affected anymore.’”
The Art of Letting Go
“There were opportunities where I was like, ‘Nak sangat ni. I worked hard for it, I know I’ve got it, I know I can do it.’ And then tak dapat. But along the way, you understand why. Some things you have to let go, because as much as you want it, God knows better. I feel like my own stubbornness is what makes it more worth it when I learn.”
