We continue to cover the city's most incred- ible happenings—from culture, fashion, and sports to real estate and food, plus everything in between. I'm inspired by the growth in our great city. Boston is thriving and growing faster than ever. As we head into spring, the season of fashion and bright colors, we are thrilled to celebrate model, actress, and soon-to-be-movie star Olivia Culpo on our cover. The Rhode Island native first rose to fame as 2012's Miss USA, only to eclipse herself as Miss Universe later that year. She has captured the hearts of many, including her million-plus followers on Instagram, where you can peek into her life behind the lens and with boyfriend Danny Amendola, wide receiver for the New England Patriots. We are looking forward to a year filled with excitement, collaboration, innovations from the ever-changing digital world, local influencers, hot trends, and much more! Hope to see you around town… from left: Celebrating with North American President of Panerai, Giovanni Carestia, and Royal Jewelers owner Steven Leed at an exclusive event featuring the new Panerai Luminor Due; with Nick Varano, owner of The Varano Group, and cover star David Ortiz celebrating our men's issue—and Ortiz's Hall of Fame career with the Boston Red Sox.
