Candid. Funny. Heartfelt.

Elissa graces the cover of our October issue and gets up-close and personal about her life, career and priorities.

“Freedom is part of my identity, it defines me, it doesn’t necessarily mean ultimate freedom. It’s the freedom of my mind and my thoughts, that freedom I own and cherish.”

Valentino dress, Andrea Wazen shoes and Vhernier De Grisogono from Sylvie Saliba Jewelry. 

6 years after Guest Editing Jamalouki, Elissa is interviewed by our Editor in Chief and opens up about self-confidence, being independent and why freedom is part of her identity.

 “I’m not searching for love but I’m ready for it whenever it comes my way… an independent woman doesn’t need a man in order to be happy.”
