CARIBBEAN BELLE magazine is a refreshing combination of inner and outer beauty. Tailored for the
holistic woman, it balances relevant and exciting issues through thoughtfully and sensitively written
articles.
Calvin French, internationally renowned photographer, sees CARIBBEAN BELLE as “having the potential
to rival local and international magazines.” Calvin has worked with Vogue, Cosmo, GQ and Elle
magazines, alongside models such as Iman, and Tyra Banks, and with famous designers including Calvin
Klein, Armani, and Donatella Versace. BELLE is proud to have Calvin on board as its new Creative
Director.
Previous issues of BELLE have featured legendary designers, including Bobby Ackbarali, and Heather
Jones. Future issues will showcase fabulous designs by Peter Elias, among others.
But the magazine offers even more than that.
It gets down and gritty with topics that affect every woman— including health and beauty, psychology
and relationships, women in the workplace, car care and safety—as well as heartwarming stories
for emotional and spiritual well-being.
Aliyyah Eniath, BELLE’s editor in chief, differentiates BELLE on the basis that it is ‘mature’, ‘topic driven’
and ‘stylish’ enough to satisfy a ‘spectrum’ of women.
CARIBBEAN BELLE invites readers and advertisers to look forward to an astounding third issue!
 “It is one of our desires to provide a platform in the Caribbean to voice, debate and highlight many concerns that affect women,” said editor-in-chief Aliyyah Eniath at the launch of Caribbean Belle on Tuesday at the Chamber of Industry and Commerce building, Westmoorings.
The launch of the magazine marked an 11-year dream for Safari Publications. It is the first full-sized, lifestyle magazine coming out of T&T which is exclusively for women across the Caribbean and throughout the world.
It addresses issues common to many women, recognising the importance of eradication of poverty and hunger, gender inequality, health, education for women, female empowerment and environmental sustainability.
Eniath said, “Belle also deals with the holistic woman for emotional, physical and spiritual well-being.
“In this magazine, you will find articles on self-esteem, woman’s health, cross-cultural lifestyle and safety. From fashion to food to shopping, Belle provides the Caribbean woman with all the necessities for a prosperous lifestyle.”
Seen as a distant dream to Safari publications, Eniath’s perseverance and dedication has brought the magazine to fruition, taking readers on a journey to Kariwak Village in Tobago, the Kiwani’s Club of New Kingston Jamaica and to Guyana where Amy Chanderpaul is featured. The magazine also takes readers to the streets of New York City where hidden treasures are unveiled.
With a free distribution of 25,000 full-colour issues throughout T&T, Jamaica, St Lucia and Barbados, Belle features designs from Zadd and Eastman and Heather Jones.
The second publication is a couple of weeks away and focuses on the 2006 Fifa World Cup.
Safari Publications has been appointed the exclusive, licensing rights by Fifa to publish the official guide to the 2006 Fifa World Cup Germany for the English-speaking Caribbean. This guide will provide the relevant information to the 2006 Fifa World Cup Germany.
