The founder of Le Muse Magazine consolidates her global presence and redefines the creative power of the region at major international fashion weeks.
-- This October 24th, Le Muse Magazine celebrates its first anniversary. What began as a visionary project between two passionate creatives, Jale Woods and Leandro Jiménez, has transformed into an international platform combining fashion, art, culture, and music from a modern and authentic Latin American perspective.
At the heart of this evolution is Jale Woods, founder and creative director of the magazine. Her leadership has been essential in establishing Le Muse Magazine as a benchmark in the region and on international stages. During this first year, Woods has blended aesthetic sensibility, business strategy, and cultural vision that distinguish luxury media, all while maintaining a unique, authentic approach connected to Latin American identity.
“A year ago, we were working sleeplessly, reviewing every detail—from sketches to typography—imagining how someone might connect with our vision. Today, seeing that we’ve achieved it is a mix of pride and gratitude,” Woods remarks.
The magazine’s inception was marked by a very close collaboration with Leandro Jiménez, co-founder and audiovisual producer. They shared not only a personal relationship but also a deep creative bond, which laid the foundation for the magazine’s style and essence. Although their romantic relationship ended, their professional collaboration remains strong, built on respect, trust, and a shared commitment to the project.
“Our relationship changed in form, but not in substance. Leandro remains a part of Le Muse. His audiovisual vision complements the narrative I aim to convey. This allows us to create unique content that resonates and maintains our identity intact,” explains Woods.
This balance between artistic sensitivity and business discipline has been a determining factor in the magazine’s rapid growth. Under Woods’ leadership, Le Muse Magazine has established itself as a publication with its own identity, capable of competing with international media without losing its Latin American essence. The magazine has achieved international projection thanks to exclusive content, collaborations with emerging talent, and an innovative visual approach.
During this first year, Woods has taken the magazine to some of the world’s most important Fashion Weeks, including New York, Paris, and Milan, where she has not only covered the shows but also created strategic alliances and strengthened relationships with designers, creatives, and international brands. These experiences have positioned the magazine as a platform that reflects Latin American talent and voice on a global stage.
“Attending these runways is inspiring. Every designer, every team, every model has a story to tell. Seeing Latin talent thrive on these stages reminds me that our voices also matter and can stand out in the global conversation,” says Woods.
Beyond covering international events, Woods has focused her leadership on strengthening the magazine’s identity, integrating fashion, art, and storytelling with purpose. Le Muse Magazine’s editorial strategy stands out for its combination of sophistication, authenticity, and creativity, making it a unique platform for both emerging and established talent.
“Le Muse doesn’t aim to imitate anyone. Our goal is to tell stories that reflect who we are, what we feel, and what we want to project to the world. Every interview, every cover, every photoshoot carries a message behind it, and that’s what sets us apart,” Woods comments.
The magazine’s anniversary is also a moment of reflection for its founder. For Woods, this first year has been one of constant learning and personal transformation. Leading such an ambitious project has taught her resilience, team management, and the importance of maintaining a clear vision even in the face of challenges.
“I learned that vulnerability is not weakness; it’s the foundation of authenticity. Leading isn’t about controlling everything, but about inspiring, listening, and trusting your team. All of this is reflected on every page of Le Muse,” affirms Woods.
The magazine’s success is also evident in its digital presence and audience growth. Le Muse Magazine has expanded its reach across Latin America, the United States, and Europe, establishing itself as an influential platform on social media and digital outlets. The publication combines fashion reports, artist interviews, cultural event coverage, and exclusive content that connects directly with its audience’s sensibilities and aspirations.
“What matters most to me is that our stories have purpose. That our readers feel there’s a message behind every piece of content, and that there is coherence between what we present and what we believe as a team,” Woods says.
Despite her personal separation from Jiménez, their collaboration remains a key pillar. Both have found a mature and professional way to work together, which has strengthened the magazine and ensured that its content maintains artistic and visual coherence. The synergy between Woods’ editorial vision and Jiménez’s audiovisual perspective has created a distinctive signature, making Le Muse Magazine recognized not only for its aesthetics but also for its emotionally and culturally meaningful storytelling.
“Our story shows that relationships can transform. The personal changed, but the creative remains. That duality allows us to create freely, with respect, and with a connection that inspires our team,” Woods explains.
During this first year, the magazine has launched several notable editions, including celebrity covers, interviews with emerging designers, and collaborations with Latin American artists. Each issue reflects the combination of artistic vision, innovation, and storytelling that Woods has cultivated from the very beginning.
“Our goal has always been that Le Muse is not just a magazine, but a space for inspiration and celebration of Latin American creativity. Seeing that dream come to life is a feeling that cannot be described in words,” Woods says.
Woods’ leadership is also evident in the way she manages the team and magazine operations. Her approach combines strategic planning with aesthetic sensibility, ensuring that every production maintains the quality and coherence that distinguish the brand. Furthermore, her global vision has enabled the magazine to adapt to international trends without losing its identity.
“For me, every issue is an act of conscious creation. It’s not just about covering trends, but about building a narrative that has meaning. That demands time, attention to detail, and passion, but the results are infinitely rewarding,” Woods comments.
As Le Muse Magazine celebrates its first year, Woods looks toward the future with international projects, collaborations with new talent, and the consolidation of the magazine as a reference for creativity and Latin American fashion. Her leadership, vision, and ability to reinvent herself have been key to the publication’s sustained success and growth.
“The most important thing I learned this year is that projects that endure are the ones done with purpose and heart. Le Muse was born from shared passion, and that love for what we do is reflected in every issue, every story, every image,” Woods concludes.
At the end of the interview, our interviewer asked: “Is there anything you’d like to say to Leandro, even though he’s not here today?”
“Thank you. For believing, for creating, for being there. For understanding that endings can also be beginnings. And that, at its core, Le Muse will always be the place where we meet,” she replies.
“This,” she says, looking at the cover, “is proof that love, when it transforms, leaves traces that cannot be erased.” And in that moment, everything becomes clear: Le Muse Magazine is not just a magazine, but a living story. A story of love, art, breakup, reconstruction, and beauty.
