UNFOLLOW FASHION
Print is dying, so is luxury fashion. Especially now with these challenging times! Or is it?
How did AUTHOR begin its journey?
Who are we? What are we? Most importantly, what do we stand for? Let me take you back to a time when magazines were the pinnacle of glamour, and all that was printed was done so with thought and consistency. The pages mattered, and so did everything that was on them!
I’m sure you can remember a time when you read all the articles inside your favorite publication and were inspired by the incredible pictures that were beautiful enough to hang on your wall?
Oh, did you not love that time? I truly did! Remember the joy of picking up a freshly printed magazine – ah the smell of the fresh print and the excitement of the upcoming season of fashion with the beautifully crafted clothes, amazing photographers shooting breathtaking images of the collections, and each one of them telling stories of possibilities in gorgeous garments.
Fashion editors picked these so carefully with their editors and so the whole experience of print was exciting, enchanting, and so beautiful, no matter what season or who shot what. Yes, there were a lot of the same iconic photographers with those iconic models and those iconic designers, but it was so amazing to watch. Everyone was supporting one another.
AUTHOR is the number one Fashion Magazine community that wants to feel that excitement of fresh print again— Storytelling motivated by inspiring others and taking pride in our craft and community of talented and passionate people. Whether that is through fashion, art, or iconic interviews, we want to feel connected as a community. Mahatma Gandhi said to ‘be the change you want to see in the world,’ so this is what we are doing.
AUTHOR is choosing to unfollow fashion since it’s not the fashion that matters per se; it’s the heart that we put into it. As everyone in the creative, art, fashion, or beauty industry always immerses themselves into their passion, so it is the role of AUTHOR to bring feeling back to the printed page. As we were putting this website together for you to dive deep in AUTHOR world, It becomes clear how important the validation for the most talented and genuinely creative individuals within our industry. We needed a space and platform to support our most creative peers that would also be inspirational for us, an area that unifies, connects, and, most Of all, inspires. We should always seek to elevate, connect and help one another as we are all in this together. One missing component can ruin the ‘picture’ as we all know.
With Love OONA
