EVOLUTION OF A SPECIES

WELCOME TO CONTRIBUTING EDITOR 2.0

After many sleepless nights, screaming fights and much ado about nothing,
we’re proud to unveil the new, and we think, improved CE.
This latest iteration should be easier to navigate and prettier to look at
but by no means the final word on the matter. The most exasperating and
ultimately rewarding part of working online is that it forces constant newness.
The relentless pace of the internet is tough but we consider it a challenge and
ultimately a benefit to making a fashion magazine.
Fashion happens fast today and the 30 day publishing schedule feels long.
Technology and high style won’t always coexist in perfect harmony
but what an interesting moment to witness.

As we crash headfirst into the second decade of the 21st century it’s imperative
that the next generation establishes it’s singular voice. Contrary to popular mythology,
the fashion business is generally about following rules and existing within parameters.
It’s easy to be satisfied with the status quo, especially in flush times.
Today, in this less secure time, would be a good opportunity to think outside the box.
Attention Next Generation: now is the time to be young
and look forward to the future of creativity. Welcome to the now.
