I'm always thinking about if I could start my own fashion magazine what would it be look like. while I was checking this website www.forums.thefashionspot.com, I found someone asked the same question from people. I started reading most of them because it's important for me to see what people at my age would like to read and see in fashion magazines. These are some of the answers:
1)i would have a thematic magazine that could come out every three months..
*would have articles on fashion, sociology, politics, music, art, decoration, architecture and of course at least 100 pages of editorial pages with the most fresh images/concepts on the planet.
*it would be a different magazine for people who like to read as well as enjoy visuals and it would be a fountain for new talents.
*layout and art direction would match something never seen before, embracing top technology, special papers and surprising effects.
2)a showcase and resource for 'undiscovered' or under-appreciated talent...
but at the highest level...with a real focus on 'craft'...might include some poetry and illustrations...no gimmicks or flashiness...very simple and straightforward graphics that only enhance the content and don't 'compete' with it...maybe some sort of 'collage' format...something that looks old and new at the same time...and lots of big beautiful pictures of beautiful clothes
3)I'd call it "Sepia" and it would be a fashion magazine for women of color. I'd feature ads and editorials with the world's leading Black models and beautiful celebrities from around the world, and we'd print articles on everything fashion related in movies, music videos, regions around the country and globe, and even fashion of days past. Famous photographers shooting the kind of dramatic, elaborate photographs I love to see. I'd also have things related to skin and hair care, general health and well-being.
4)My magazine would not include any photographs, everything would be illustrated. It would concentrate more on smaller and independent designers, and take a look at fashion outside Paris/Milan/London/NYC fashion weeks, although there would be material about those too if something good appears. It would be directed for women, not teens or men. It would have a slightly feminist motto, and it would not be "a style bible", something that dictates what you should wear. It would rather be a magazine that shows different collections, and different people's dreams about fashion. There would be different themes in every magazine - a little bit like i-D sometimes has.
As for articles, there would not be any articles. It would all just be illustrated. A very visual magazine.
