ELLE India: Editor’s Note For The Art Issue

“A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others.” - Salvador Dalí. I wouldn’t call myself a collector, but as an editor, I seek art in the stories we tell, the shoots we create, and the events we bring to life.

As I sit down to write this month’s editor’s letter—some - where between coffees, flights, and deadlines—one thought lingers: everything around me is art. I wouldn’t call myself a collector, but as an editor, I seek art in the stories we tell, the shoots we create, and the events we bring to life. By that definition, the art around me is in the ideas—the sparks that transform words, images, and experiences into something meaningful. And this issue is just that: a collection of narratives that bring together people, perspectives, and dreams.

This year, we hosted the second edition of The ELLE List, and the adrenaline from the event hasn’t left me yet. The planning and execution demanded every ounce of our energy, yet the electric energy it brought to the floor continues to make us smile. We also begin the year with an exciting milestone: the launch of ELLE Gourmet in India.
