Print is dead, long live print! Modern media might be weathering a massive storm right now, as more and more revered publications shutter week after week, but independent publishing is alive and kicking, with endless radical, innovative fashion zines dropping across the course of the last few years.
From the radical Red3licte, which brought together naff, 90s perfume ads and party ads with high-fash editorials starring Paloma Elsesser and shot by Sharna Osborne, to the football crazy, football mad pages of GIRLFANS, to the bolshy, brash-hued celeb-heavy chaos of Fag Mag, there’s an indie mag for all interests out there – you just need to know where to look.Â
It’s for this reason that Dazed Fashion is looking for a new wave of fashion zines, as we seek to spotlight the best underground and cult publications as part of a new series on Dazed and our social media channels. Whether you’re the brains behind a mag that deserves to be on our readers’ radars, or just a fan of a title already out there, send your tips to fashiontips@dazedmedia.com and keep an eye on the site for a feature coming soon.
Flick through some of our fave zines from previous years below.
