http://www.inventorymagazine.com/#popup1 my favorite was inventory magazine. I'm really glad I've got a couple of issues and it now serves as a great time capsule into what was considered tasteful and cool in the 2010's
http://www.inventorymagazine.com/issues/ they had some great issues with hiroki nakamura, nigo, erik brunetti and more
I have quite a big collection of fashion magazines as I've been collecting them for over 10 years now. The ones I'd recommend for people on this server are the new order, fantastic man, popeye, fudge, system, 2nd
Hypebeast's printed magazine also used to be pretty good and very pop-culture oriented which was nice
GQ my beloved
granted, i'm not aware of that many mens fashion publications in the UK lol
I‘m such a magazine person I have all issues of Glamour magazine from 2014-2016, used to have an Elle subscription from 2020-2024 and briefly worked as a (voluntary) translator for a J-fashion online magazine
The ones I‘ve always enjoyed most tho were magazines for more niche fashions, especially Japanese publications like Zipper or Fruits
But they‘re super hard to get in Europe so I sadly don’t have that many
If anyone has recommendations for alternative fashion magazines (online or physical) I‘m all ears🫡
Purple mag puts up all of its editions online, which is wonderful https://purple.fr/magazine/the-tokyo-diary-issue-43-s-s-2025/ (NSFW like most alt fashion publications)
Brutus, Popeye, and other Japanese menswear mags are popular
fantastic man
:linkThumbsUp:
Go Out! magazine, and unironically the Patagonia catalog are my go-tos.
This looks top-tier 👀
it is
it's the ultimate clothing :discourse: Discourse :discourse: publication
Avant
gq made me and broke me lol
i enjoy the inspo from fudge and eyecmag but maybe my hot take is, short of inspo i'm not really high on fashion publications atm aside from maybe high snobiety and even that's mostly for runway
the irony is not lost on my that I've complained about the poor quality of fashion criticism on a micro level (people not being able to articulate why a fit is bad without calling it gay), as it flows from the lack of quality published sources
Need supply co’s old journal I loved
Want to get into letiquette
Avant is so good
Old old Harper’s bazaar actually stunningly good
I keep telling myself I’m gonna pick up their stuff, but then I don’t 😭
