...YOUNG Magazine
Hi, I’m Hanna
Editor in Chief
Our aim is to publish unique editorial content that is both innovative and inspirational for all those women daring to be different and unafraid to dream. With that in mind we strive to introduce you to different lifestyle, international foods and fashion trends from the streets of London. After a cold winter we can already feel the air getting warmer and see how nature wakes up from its long sleep.
Last year was hard to many of us but the latest government announcements have brought back hope of getting back to normality and, for sure, back out exploring our constantly changing and international London!
​
I hope you enjoy reading our stories and do follow us on Instagram @youngmagazine for more updates. Cheers!
