Welcome to the October issue of IMAGE Magazine

Ma?a Dunphy graces the cover of this month’s Power Issue. The broadcaster, writer and producer is as engaging as she is beautiful. I had the fortunate task of interviewing?the new mum. She talks about finding her feet in London, the reality?of parenting and?why women need to support one another.

If like me, you suffer from too-many-clothes-but-nothing-to-wear syndrome, this issue is written especially for you. Our fashion team solves all your work wear dilemmas.

We meet three Irish female entrepreneurs who are reimagining their own dress codes and discover all the ways fashion can propel?you forward.

Our beauty director, Melanie Morris, explores the wonderful world of chemical facial peels and discovers the best solutions for dry and dull skin.

?There is evidence that the more women there are in political institutions, the more things get done.? Our Washington-based contributor, Marion McKeone, takes an in-depth look at the changing landscape of global politics and how women are shaping the future.

All this and so much more in the new issue of IMAGE Magazine. On sale September 8.
