Thoughts on this? I haven't been the biggest fan of the magazine since the original creator left. I still have my old issues from the first ten years of the print publication. I guess we'll see since they are coming back in Spring 2024..

Why would they bother? it's a bad time for publications, they're all 'hanging in there' in embarrassing conditions and Nylon was the kind of magazine that did overtime and struggled to accept its time had long passed, they were the epitome of cringe in their last years. Why not keep the nice memory of what they once were and their legacy, and maybe celebrate it digitally?.. they're going to fall down the same rabbit hole as these recycled projects tend to do: they'll identify their 'values' and reinterpret them for the current generation, so lots of woke/commodity activism/serving-social-media-and-not-the-other-way around, empty moralistic preaching but with the smug, 'cooler than you' tone Nylon developed when the magazine went downhill in its Cobrasnake days which ultimately connects with no one and they drive, yet again, into another wall, just watch it..

It would be so cool if they just release like a digital archive with all issues
 
Nylon was an interesting magazine. It had its unique look and feel. Hopefully, the team will publish good work and not filler.
 
I only know that a Nylon spread was the price of ANTM during their sh*tty years.
 
@matheus_s From what I can find, it looks like April 2024/Spring 2024.

(I just remembered Nylon Guys used to be a magazine. :skull:)
 
(I used to read Nylon Guys religiousy, in my teen years)
 
I was able to find one in the bookstore to look at and wow..the contents are horrific and like a hot topic version of what the original mag used to be. Not even good editorial spreads...in the bin
 
I wonder what made them decide to re-introduce the magazine in a comically large format.
 
I really like Nylon in their early days, those Helena Christensen pages were stand-out.

I hope they could open their archive. I would be willing to pay!
