MEGA Magazine - July 2023

In this issue

Mega’s July 2023 talks about the power of change and how acceptance of it can bring growth and fulfillment. In Fashion, we embrace the concept of rebirth—vintage re-editions, the art of collecting archival pieces, and reimagining closet staples. In Beauty, we bring back ‘90s grunge makeup, but this time with a modern vibe. In Features, we talk to the people who bring back old furniture to life. And we get up close and personal with Kathy Huang, whose concept of wellness and fitness is grounding and realistic.
Fronting our cover is Kim Jones, the master of transformations. At any given time, she says, you never know which Kim you’d get—and that gets her excited for the future.
