FASHION OBSERVER MAGAZINE

ISSUE 17, 2018

Welcome to our seventeenth issue of FASHION OBSERVER MAGAZINE! “I always did something I was a little not ready to do.

I think that’s how you grow. When there’s that moment of, ‘Wow, I’m not really sure I can do this,’ and you push through those moments, that’s when you have a breakthrough.” - Marissa Mayer ULTIMATELY fashion is one of the greatest loves and curiosity’s; it’s complexity a constant bewilderment. Fashion’s landscape is as wondrous as it is large and it is these inherit qualities that can simultaneously both capture and terrify the creative artist.

We are living in an age where the industry is facing one of it’s greatest challenges as the once tight knit circle of influence is being forced wide open to make room for diversity of expression and inclusion to a degree previously unseen.

It could be said, that fashion is facing it’s very own identity crisis; And while the industry considers it’s position, navigating it’s way around the new rules, demands and expectations in a season where a call to change has gone way beyond token measures, for the creatives in the industry, all of a sudden the ceiling of limitation has been well and truly lifted.

The platform is open for inspection. There is no denying this is an incredibly positive outcome, yet this wide-open space is as noisy as it is crowded and ironically the challenge for creatives remains exactly as it was when the doors were still closed….

How do I legitimately get my foot in the door?

Fashion Observer Magazine has been created FOR YOU. It’s a space for the creative who needs a launching pad, a place to demonstrate unique expression and on opportunity amongst the noise and clutter to showcase your talents.

Whether you are a model, photographer, hair or make up artist, a fashion stylist, videographer, or intern, whatever your specialty (or creative genre as I like to call it), FOM are passionate about supporting, connecting and celebrating new and emerging talent across the fashion industry and this space has been carved out with you in mind.

Issue seventeen has been inspired by the raw art of beauty and is packed with inspirational content; from the striking front cover showcasing the beautiful work of John Pryke to an ethereal convergence of form, texture & colour from Los Angeles Fashion Week. So many amazing features and so little space to mention them all! Grab yourself a coffee or a cocktail depending on the hour and allow the pages to transport you to another world…
