Why Thet San Andersen? Why Jasmine? Why July?
_ THET SAN
Because jasmine is more than a flower; it is a cultural memory. July is the heart of the monsoon season in Myanmar, bringing rain, nostalgia, renewal, and quiet beauty. The scent of jasmine naturally belongs to this time, evoking childhood memories, family traditions, and the timeless grace of Burmese women.
This story is not about a title. It is about the traditions we inherit, the values we carry forward, and a modern Burmese woman blooming into her own story. In this issue, LUSH follows the scent of jasmine through memory and womanhood, sitting down with Miss Universe Myanmar 2024, Thet San.
Here is the exclusive LUSH Magazine interview with Thet San.
