Dear readers,

I hope you enjoyed the festive season and got a chance to read all the Complexd articles in the Island issue. We have  finalised our editorial calendar for the New Year and my personal resolutions, goals and to-do list are taking up so much space in my brain I’m in desperate need of a calender. Photographer Fiona Compton sent me a preview of her 2012 Portrait of a Caribbean Flower calendar starring Alice Clarke whose delicate features graced the beauty pages of the Island issue (page 9).

Photographed by Frederique Rapier 

Alice is calm and collected and a pleasure to work with. Her easy persona and comfort in front the camera can be seen throughout the calendar and in these portraits below in which Fiona Compton fuses exotic flowers with island beauty.
