Quick survey to see what really stands out from the crowd.
In my book, a great fashion publication, be it on- or offline, should:
-provide in-depth commentary and "framing" rather than newswire-like updates on new collections and drops (sorry hypebeast, you are a ticker more than anything)
-have a "point of view". This is not about having a vertical focus (say, Americana) as I feel the scope should be broad. Rather, tt means that there should be a red thread running through all content.
-include beautiful -and original!- images that are meant to showcase the individual brands and pieces, rather than show-off art direction skills.
-be as "independent" as possible. I want the content to reflect serious research, not be a semi-obvious homage to advertisers.
Bluntly put, I see nothing of this kind around...but maybe you know better! Putting together something like this would certainly require some serious money (while the rewards are much less certain) so it's not like I don't understand the lack of options, but still...
