DETAILS COLLABORATION ON P110. A new season, no matter the weather, is exciting. In terms of fashion and beauty, it s the birth of new trends, the celebration of looks from yesteryear and, most importantly, a great excuse to detox and restock your wardrobe and beauty collection. Over the last decade in particular, followers of the fashion and beauty worlds have railed against what is expected, and instead have broken boundaries and challenged the norm. Individuality is at the forefront of today s aesthetic, while trends remain the foundation for creativity and interpretation. Each new season, Marie Claire brings you the latest trend reports, edits of the best and boldest runway looks, and guidelines for how to wear what. The rest is up to you, the reader the inspired inspirer. You see, it s a team effort. So it s only fitting then that for this month s issue our fashion and beauty teams joined forces to create New Mood on page 66, not only highlighting top trends but combining them connecting the fashion and beauty dots to create bold head-to-toe looks. The shoot would not have been complete without a dash of Dolce&Gabbana s vintage prints; a few structured Afros; the latest Nicholas Coutts check prints, fresh off the runway; the most delicately sheer items courtesy of Prada; the coolest red patent puffer from H&M, paired with a striking winged glitter lid; and a hot-pink number from Burberry with lashes to match. We hope we ve inspired you to try something new and colour outside the lines. In the end, it s all about self-expression, having fun and, of course, looking incredible.

17 filter NEWS AND VIEWS FROM AROUND THE WORLD INDONESIA THE VIRGIN CONFLICT Hopeful FEMALE SOLDIERS must still prove their VIRGINITY Since International Women s Day in March, activists have renewed their efforts to stop the Indonesian government forcing women to prove their virginity before joining the country s armed forces. It was reported by Human Rights Watch in Indonesia that since the 60s, women wanting to enlist have been undergoing traumatic virginity tests, including the barbaric (and scientifically inaccurate) two-finger test to determine whether or not a woman s hymen is intact.

That s quite significant in this conservative country, where, in some rural areas, women are still seldom seen outdoors.

18 INDIA On track for empowerment At first sight, Gandhinagar Station in Rajasthan doesn t seem out of the ordinary. Except for one thing: it s the only interstate train station in India staffed solely by women, from conductors and ticket sellers to the station master herself. That s quite significant in this conservative country, where, in some rural areas, women are still seldom seen outdoors. Today, India has one of the fastest growing economies, but women have been largely excluded from it. However, over the last year, Indian women have made major strides in empowering themselves. From the first female fighter-jet pilots recently being inducted into the country s armed forces, to an all-female sailing crew circumnavigating the world, it seems there s nothing stopping India s women now. PAKISTAN PAKISTAN WELCOMES ITS FIRST TRANSGENDER NEWS ANCHOR In a landmark moment for marginalised identities in Pakistan, Marvia Malik has become the country s first transgender news anchor. In March, Pakistan s Senate voted in favour of a bill that will protect the rights of transgender people, and allow its citizens to choose their own gender. Marvia is a journalism graduate who was working as a model before she received the good news from private broadcaster Kohenoor that she had landed the job. Although transgender people are still severely discriminated against in the country, this massive step forward will hopefully begin changing perceptions.

19 filter LEADING AFRICA IN REPRESENTATION, EMPOWERMENT AND TRANSPARENCY Africa s most powerful nations, including South Africa and Nigeria, are still struggling to make progress in closing the gender gap on the continent. Instead, Rwanda has taken the lead. According to the Global Competitiveness Report, the East African country is the best place in Africa to be a woman in terms of gender equality in industry and government. Rwanda was also one of the first countries in the world to have more than half of its government run by women, with 64% of Parliament made up of women by Representation in government has meant that women are also more visible in other sectors in the country, including education and business.
