For immediate release JY Media
Lucire launches in Thailand
International fashion magazine collaborates with Twinpalms Phuket and Asia Design Consultants for latest country
Wellington and Phuket, January 28 (JY Media) Lucire, the international fashion magazine headquartered in New Zealand, has announced that it has collaborated
with the Twinpalms Phuket resort and Asia Design Consultants Ltd. to see an extra print edition in Thailand. Twinpalms
Lucire launches February 20 with 5,000 copies distributed through the Surin Beach, Phuket resort and its sister
properties.
The magazine has features on fashion, lifestyle and travel, with a lesser emphasis on beauty when compared to Lucire's
other print editions. Miguel Kirjon of Asia Design Consultants oversaw the production and editorial mix, in
collaboration with Lucire founder and publisher Jack Yan, deputy editor Sylvia Giles and assistants Dominique Whittaker
and Ashleigh Berry. Many of the Lucire articles had been commissioned by Laura Ming-Wong, the magazine's editor in New
Zealand.
Mr Yan says, 'This is another small step in growing the Lucire brand, targeting it at an aspirational audience that
says, "I want to be a step ahead." We're confident that the Twinpalms audience will love our mixture and socially
responsible approach to fashion and lifestyle reporting.
'I'm also delighted that Miguel has created a unique look founded in the Swiss school of design. It's very different
from the home edition and it's a classy production.'
In addition to its design direction, Mr Kirjon has commissioned many additional, original articles for the Twinpalms'
side of the magazine. Twinpalms Phuket is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, one of the most exclusive
collectives of hotel properties internationally. The resort is privately owned, with a private beach club and an
enviable location next to Millionaires' Cove. Lucire started as an online fashion magazine in 1997 and is notable for
having diversified into print, rather than adopt the print-to-web approach of its competitors. Its Webby-nominated
website remains a popular destination for fashion leaders, while the print magazine is regarded as a luxurious and
socially responsible publication.
