Despite the rise of online media, magazines still hold a special place in the fashion world. There’s nothing that can replace the physical and emotional impact of a perfectly curated editorial spread. And while yes, publications like Vogue and NYLON are widely-appreciated for their voices and positions in the fashion industry, there has been a rise in demand for more independent players in the magazine world.
I have recently broadened my magazine horizons to include some lesser known indie publications that have totally changed the way I approach and look at fashion. Their perspectives are unique, raw, and groundbreaking. These magazines provide fresh content in a world that certainly isn’t lacking in the content department. I feel deeper in love with photography, fashion, and art direction. It challenged how I saw fashion.
