Vanity Teen
Spent some time with the first issue of Vanity Teen, a free fashion magazine that dropped as a PDF. The photography is good—clean, contemporary, not trying to yell about itself. They brought in Marley Kate, Ryan Aylsworth, Karl Rothenberger: the kind of visual people worth paying attention to. What got me is the curation: it’s not the usual high-fashion apparatus. It’s someone looking at what’s actually happening in contemporary photography and saying ’this matters.’ And they’re not charging for it.
