Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and ugly is now the new pretty.

With the &ldquo;ugly chic&rdquo; era upon us, we bring you our May 2018 issue that&nbsp;explores that rule-breaking paradox of &quot;ugly chic and turn it into a pioneering thought.

Starring model Frances Coombe on the cover in Givenchy, this issue is one that celebrates uniqueness and promoting individuality; and through the lens of photographer Tak Sugita, our vision is realised!

On our Ugly Chic issue, managing editor Monica says, &quot;I believe in creating your own style and promoting individuality&hellip;As long as you feel good, it doesn&rsquo;t really matter what other people think.&rdquo;

And in line with our theme of the month, be sure to check out our other amazing features that celebrate this&nbsp;rule-breaking paradox.

In Toe The Line,&nbsp;&nbsp;we show how the boundaries between good taste and bad grow ever more blurry with fashion&rsquo;s latest obsession with ugly cool shoes.

The codes of horology are also being rewritten to make way for diversity in A Matter Of Taste. On top of that, The &lsquo;90s Comeback explores the revival of once-cringeworthy &lsquo;90s makeup signatures, taking the old and making them new again.

Finally, do not miss out on Rebel With A Cause that shines the spotlight on five fearless Malaysian makers shattering the conventional outlook on beauty and art.
