Femina Magazine - February 2023

In this issue

Tabu’s on our cover this month. That’s it. That’s the story. Always a favourite of Femina’s, Tabu is immensely strong, knows her mind, and is inherently graceful – it’s hard to take your eyes off her, both onscreen and off it. In this issue, we attempt to find out a little more about the enigma of the woman, the artiste, the icon.

We’re also big proponents of celebrating love in its many wonderful, diverse forms, so, for February, we’ve leaned into this thought even harder. We’re celebrating all kinds of relationships because we think that love is about the person – the people, or beings – you’re with. We’ve profiled people who are partners in both business and in life. We’ve done deeper dives into notions of self-love so you can truly be your own Valentine. We’ve even put together a dictionary on the latest dating terms courtesy Gen-Z because, quite frankly, we all need to keep up!

We have all this and more in this lovely issue. Get your copy today and read more on Femina.in

The Eternal Sunshine Of Her Spotless Mind

Lashings of talent, loads of patience, and an outstanding knack of making every character believable. Taking on the kind of roles that other mainstream actors might have refused. TABU knows what works for her and what doesn't. Being content with herself and being happy for having a good day - just a few things we unravel about her in this freewheeling chat.

CLOSET love

The thing about fashion is that it makes us think that we need new possessions season after season when, sometimes, all we really need to do is re-examine the contents of our closet and rediscover what has always given us comfort. We share love stories, these objects and us. For this issue, we asked members of the fashion community to dig deep and tell us about belongings that they love. From pieces of jewellery to items of clothing, these contributors have found love in their wardrobes.
