Maybe I'm not that vain... This magazine was supposed to be all about me. It originally started as an idea to create a digital flip-book about my blog, with a digest of the previous month's posts, maybe a little behind the scenes info. I'd be on the cover every month! You know, like Oprah—but poor.
Style Sample Magazine provides a venue to explore the hearts and minds of the people behind the pretty pictures, to promote talented individuals and the fashion blogging medium as a whole, and to provide opportunities for exposure and experience.
That was, until I started discovering the seemingly infinite number of fashionrelated blogs and the amazing people behind them.
There is so much determination and diversity in our niche, from street style photography, to “what I'm wearing” posts, to shopping tips, to aspiring designers, to online entrepreneurs, and everything in between. We're proof that the people have a voice. And now we have a magazine.
There are so many talented, intelligent, fascinating, regular people all over the world doing amazing things in this arena. There are thousands of fashion blogs—some good, some great, some that draw you in and compel you to read every single post until you've spent hours absorbing and dissecting the author's style and insight. Those are the people I hope to recognize with this publication.
This is for all of us.
