Envy: A New Fashion Magazine from The Creators of The Fashionably Independent

The Widget? Pentegram, fully throwin’ down…
(That’d be five stars, in case my strand of Polari doesn’t translate well.)
Fully backin’ the ability to customize the size and lay-out options, as well as the international content contained therein.
To be honest, I’d rate the content in the current “issue” as a 4.5—meaning, of course, I know full well The Indie Fashion crew is capable of upping the ante beyond the established paradigm.
My request? Sprinkle in some content from Japanese men’s Vogue—as I’ve yet to see a single copy at any news stand (and I live in L.A., for F’s sake)… but the scant amount I’ve been fortunate to locate on-line?
Sleek as an Atsuko Kudo latex pencil skirt freshly polished. Sophisticated. Deliciously androgynous.
Of course, there’s also the occasional editorial in Imago ‘zine (Canada), Gazelleland (New York), Coilhouse (Los Angeles) and the slew of $40-and-over periodicals rife with opulence, editorial genius and consummate consumer lust that creep their way over from Europe…
Because these?
Of course, this is merely my opinion: but it’s when these truly independent flashes of serendipity—synonymous far too often with short print runs before the recently-launched creations belly-up…
It’s when these disparate elements get stirred into an already stellar sampling of aspirational imagery
that my mind melds &
corneas are left burning with a brilliance that feels so
alive alive
alive…
Here’s to
Cheers from
The Future—
(& With Great Anticipation)
