"People say sometimes that beauty is only superficial. That may be so. But at least it is not so superficial as Thought is. To me, Beauty is the wonder of wonders. It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances.\r\n\r\n-Oscar Wilde\r\nSpring is in the air. We can feel summer just around the corner. To celebrate our love of dresses, skirts and high heels we decided to dive into the world of fashion and find out how technology is re-shaping the industry. We've spent the last month traveling the globe, visiting New York, London, Amsterdam, Paris, Los Angeles and Beijing in search of the world's coolest companies for the May issue of The Next Web Magazine.\r\n\r\nA few of the companies we feature in this issue include Not Just a Label,\u00A0Of a Kind, Editd, Closet Rich, Shoes of Prey and\u00A0Carrie Hammer. We explore custom clothing, the art of curation, geek trends and the hot fashion startups\u00A0from Europe, North America and Asia. We even have two fabulous guest posts from the founders of Rent the Runway and Broke &amp;amp;amp; Chic!\r\n\r\nFor this month's issue we partnered with\u00A0AHAlife, a New York City ecommerce company that\u00A0delivers unique products from categories like fashion, food, beauty, accessories, home d\u00E9cor, tech and travel experiences right to your inbox. The site exudes &amp;quot;tastemaker status&amp;quot;, pairing a glossy editorial vibe with celebrity curators including Tim Gunn, DVF, Carmindy, Wendi Murdoch,\u00A0Daniel Boulud,\u00A0Bobbi Brown,\u00A0Petra Nemcova,\u00A0Cynthia Rowley, and Tina Brown in an attempt to cut through the noise in the online fashion world. In our issue, AHAlife\u00A0founder and CEO\u00A0Shauna Mei\u00A0picks her top 10 gifts.\r\n\r\nWe're delighted to say that thanks to this partnership, we're able to offer you this issue for free. We hope to do more partnerships like this in the future.
