sepia said:I'd call it "Sepia" and it would be a fashion magazine for women of color. I'd feature ads and editorials with the world's leading Black models and beautiful celebrities from around the world, and we'd print articles on everything fashion related in movies, music videos, regions around the country and globe, and even fashion of days past. Famous photographers shooting the kind of dramatic, elaborate photographs I love to see. I'd also have things related to skin and hair care, general health and well-being.
Within the last few months, I've been thinking up more details. I would make it a cross between Vogue/Elle and Essence magazine. It would have couture fashion and artistic shoots, and also feature things regarding physical, cultural, and spiritual beauty.

Mine would be called Luxury, Lux or Fine Life or something and it would focus on everything luxury and high end from clothing, travel, wine, food-restaurants, bars, with detailed information about purchasing and phone numbers (I love how Lucky includes where to purchase info right there by the product)--I love reading about that stuff.

If you could start your very own fashion magazine:
What would it be called?
What kind of style would your magazine portray?
What type of articles would you have?
Maybe it could be called just simply A Fashion Magazine? I like simple names.
My magazine would not include any photographs, everything would be illustrated. It would concentrate more on smaller and independent designers, and take a look at fashion outside Paris/Milan/London/NYC fashion weeks, although there would be material about those too if something good appears. It would be directed for women, not teens or men. It would have a slightly feminist motto, and it would not be "a style bible", something that dictates what you should wear. It would rather be a magazine that shows different collections, and different people's dreams about fashion. There would be different themes in every magazine - a little bit like i-D sometimes has.
As for articles, there would not be any articles. It would all just be illustrated. A very visual magazine.
I wish I were an illustrator, as I would really love to bring this idea alive. I adore fashion illustrating, and a monthly magazine full of those would be great.

i love this topic...
the only thing I could say for the moment is "my" magazine would only deal with Art & Fashion (nothing else) a big 3monthly magazine (sthg like 400p-500p.)
funded by a rich friend because I wouldn't give a lot of place to ads... and ads will only be campains of "young" designers... and if they don't have money to pay one, well we'll help him/her to make one with photographers and stylists and models favourites of "my" magazine.
... i'll come later to keep on this... but I doubt "my" magazine would be that different from already-existed magazines.

I think I would want to focus everything on the more artsy aspects of fashion. It'd be a men and women's fashion magazine, that way it doesn't have to have all of the 'lifestyle' articles on sex and wine and food. It would have information about art exhibits, interviews with writers and artists, editorials full of independent designer's clothes, and CD/DVD supplements with music and art films (ala Fly magazine).
Unfortunately, this vision really doesn't have any way to fund itself. Ads and arts rarely coexist well.

What would it be called? I'd like to use a monogram that may have no meaning behind it...it would have a symbol beside it, like a stylized orange or something natural like that.
What kind of style would your magazine portray? There would be no particular 'known style' but it would have many different styles that are specific to individual designers, like Dries van Noten and Marni and Tao Kurihara each have their own style
What type of articles would you have? It would have a focus on fabrics and silhouette and pattern and handcraft--the "craft." The most important aspect are the explanations of the concepts of the designers behind the collections. It would look like a sketchbook with pieces of their mood board and inspirations and lovely drawings.
It has a focus more on 'process' and there would be information on how to get more information about each designer or craft techniques
I'd like to have pages on well-known designers but I'd like more of the spotlight to be on designers that are not known or maybe people that are not even designers, people who just design and make their clothes themselves "hobbyists" I would definitely love to have it for hobbyists.
Oh i'd like to make a magazine like this now Maybe I will keep one online... so if anyone has something to input 
Otherwise I will just write about myself *lol*

Contents: Mainly focuses on fashion, but for both genders. Also looks at music, literature, art, and lots of movies, as well as political commentary.

Articles You Could Expect to See: Designer profiles, loads of editorials, equal cover/editorial time between interesting models and celebrities, reviews, opinion/editorial features, the look for less
Covers: For the first twelve months, my dream covers would be...

I have to say, I find the business side of keeping a publication going to be far more fascinating than anything that gets featured in the contents. The older I get, the more I see that we all have imagination, but it's the rare few that take the leap into making it a reality, into making it a working reality. The skills that these people have, that lets them turn dreams into reality - that fascinates me. It's the invisible part of the job, but no less important than the pictures and the articles and the typefaces.

Title: A Magazine About Men's Style (boring, unoriginal, but hey, the point is there. If it gets really popular, people will just say, "Hey! Have you gotten the new issue of Amams–get it?–for this season?")
Subject matter: Men's style magazine
Contents: Each issue has a "The Twenty-five Clothes You Must Buy This Season." We won't force the 25 clothes, instead, it will include a very exhaustive explanation on why it's significant. Example, buy a brown topcoat because the color brown has been shown to relax the eyes...especially during the time when leaves start falling. Or something like that. All fashion editorials use up all of the clothes, just the situations and executions are different.
I actually like to read pieces from magazines, so there has to be a number of articles. I'm just not sure what will be nice to write about in a men's fashion magazine that isn't about fashion or designers. But I certainly don't want to read up about the who's who in Hollywood and who's bonking who. I despise that.
Eh...I just realized I don't have very original ideas for a magazine. It'll probably only last for an issue. Haha.
