FACES first hit the stands in 2007. Now, 13 years later, we’re stunned at how far we’ve come and moved by the stories we’ve had the pleasure of sharing with our beloved readers. Every one of our 156 issues has been packed with cover stories that stirred, interviews with the most inspiring people around us, features on the hardworking initiatives flourishing in Oman, and tonnes of well-meaning advice, tips and tricks.
Looking back at the past 13 years, we’ve had the honour of telling stories that we’re sure brought our readers inspiration, aspiration, and comfort. Here’s a glimpse into the year gone by…
Special Cover Stories
Of the 12 cover stories we did in FACES the past year, every one of them was unique. We journeyed through hope for the new year and welcomed challenges with open arms, then dwelled on the power of love and what it means to different people. To mark International Women’s Day, we focused on what women want and need to thrive in their careers. Our Architecture and Design special brought you insight from some of the leading names in the industry while our Food issue reflected on Oman’s ever-changing food scene. The youth of Oman took centerstage with their innovative business concepts and products, and the accounts about their initiatives to raise a responsible future generation served to encourage us to put our trust in the youth.
In the latter half of the year, the focus in FACES shifted towards new names in Oman’s fashion industry and their modern, chic designs, a testament to the burgeoning fashion scene. Our Men’s Issue covered stories of men who have dared to take the road less travelled. In November we met pioneers from the fitness industry who have brought something new and interesting to Oman and are continuing to tailor-make fitness regimens for the local market. And in December we brought the year to a close on a high, with inspiration to continue learning at all ages, and tips and guidelines from beauty professionals on getting yourself party-ready for the festive season!
