TORONTO: June 1, 2006

Sultry model Kim Cloutier graces the cover of the June 2006 issue of LUSH Magazine. The high-profile supermodel is tout simplement sublime, in a high fashion spread of the season's hottest swimwear.

The 2006 June issue presents an interview with Canadian media giant, Moses Znaimer who gives readers a one-on-one on ideaCity, a three-day event where the world's greatest minds share their ideas to enrich you both personally and professionally. Also featured are female genital mutilation activist, Waris Dirie; and the talented new musician, Anjani Thomas, who talks about life, love, and Leonard Cohen. Former Turner Prize nominee, Cornelia Parker, discusses her mixed media approach to art and the transcontinental mischief that occurs within her work.

The issue also takes readers into the eclectic house of Jeanne Lottie designer and Accessories Queen, Jane Ip, offering an inside look on Shanghai's burgeoning spa industry, and the 'noses' behind some of the world's most trademarked scents.

The magazine is also launching a new Arch and Design section. The newest department will feature intriguing designs both in Canada and around the world with exciting features on architecture, interior design, and industrial design.

In this issue, Creative Case Studies explores the mind-expanding office interiors of Danish designers Bosch and Fjord; Devyani Saltzman discusses the recently built Chinese Museum of Film in Beijing; and a LUSH spread featuring furniture boutique, Futé Design's exotic, modern pieces in rattan and bamboo.

LUSH caters to the elite market of trendsetting, quality conscious consumers. Going beyond the borders of consumer-driven shopping publications, LUSH delves deeper into the more humanistic side of the fashion world, examining its history, its influences and most importantly its future.
