To honour one of this generation's greatest living couturiers, Andrew Gn, Folio.YVR Luxury Lifestyle Magazine, publisher EcoLuxLuv Marketing & Communications (ELL Comms), has released an issue focusing on fashion, design, and luxury brands that continue to dominate the Canadian West Coast lifestyle.

Helen Siwak, CEO of ELL Comms, launched the 140-page digital magazine on issuu through six social media channels and directly to the publication's 35K mailing list on February 8. The 13 stories include a visit to The DOUGLAS Autograph and design-focused stories on the award-winning Porsche Taycan 4S Sport Saloon EV with endorsement from YVR's top taste-maker Aleem Kassam (Kalu Interiors), the incomparable Mercedes-Benz EQS EV, the launch of Balenciaga, and relaunch of Louis Vuitton flagship in the award-winning Fairmont Hotel Vancouver.

"In addition to design, we look into the lives and stories of people who have made it their mission to create beauty in many different forms," shared Siwak. "Paolo Fazioli (creator and founder of the world's finest pianos), Maestro Ken Hsieh (founder and conductor of the Vancouver Metropolitan Orchestra), Jacqueline Adler and Sid Koshul (luxury real estate agents who focus on building community through charitable actions)., and rising Clean-Pop star sing-songwriter MIIST (produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Narada).

Issue #23 contains 13 image-heavy stories in a hybrid format that capitalizes on offering the print experience through a flippable format on issuu.com. The same platform that international magazines like Ocean Drive, Robb Report, and Forbes Small Report favour. Additionally, the magazine contains no advertising and is available and downloadable with no fee from the issue platform in .pdf format.
