Vogue - a world wide style bible to all, an important factor which has vastly affected the shaping of society ( 's dress sense) over the years. 'Vogue' is said to suggest transient impermanent fashion ability. Not only is it the most influential magazine of all time but it is a lifestyle, a dream and something which i could hand on my heart say that is internationally recognised.
But why is it that no other fashion magazine has appeared to rise to the same iconic status along side it? This inspired me to hunt for...well i wasn't particularly sure what for but i had a feeling i was looking for a somewhat hidden vogue?
ENTER : 'ANOTHER MAGAZINE' !! (This means more than it looks!)
The irony of the situation - i found myself searching for quite literally searching for another magazine - just to find 'Another Magazine'...http://www.anothermag.com/
I am whole heatedly not doubting the success of vogue - as it is in fact my favourite, but I knew that there must be more, just hidden perhaps? Wandering through the shelves of mags in WHSmiths and coming across this striking cover of Uma Thurman meets artistic half butterfly really took me by surprise. Here are my findings:
It was the 14Th issue
It is a bi-annual magazine (meaning published twice a year)
It is very fashion-forward consisting of a mix from McQueen to Venetia Scott to D&G and Mark Segal.
It is a very precise and down to the point publication
It cleverly blends fashion with art and literature
This is not your ordinary stereotypical 'fashion magazine'
So, from what i have found - i think i was just searching for a change maybe? And i believe i have found it! i reccomend 'another' (link to their site above) to every fashion intelligent human! Of course it is only published twice a year which makes it different, but its wonderfully crafted arty meets seriousness of each page is simply...art work!
The question still ponders though - why is this concious and brilliantly fulfilling magazine so...unrecognised?
Opinions? What do you think of their mag & site? How does it compare to Vogue? Happy blogging! xxxxx
