Metropop Fashion Magazine
Metro•Pop is a fashion magazine that I have really come to like. Not as industrialized as Vogue or Lucky, not as crappy as the millions of crappy zines out there, Metro•Pop strikes just the right balance, showing me the street style fashions that are really out there, on models that COULD be people I know. I don’t know them, but it isn’t totally out of the realm of possibility.
They give a lot of emphasis to fashion photography, and graphic design. They have many pages devoted to several photographers, in the same way that Vogue will do, but the photography is much younger, much more based on street style. The cover of the magazine is always stunning and intriguing, sometimes, like their recent shoe issue, they opt for abstract design rather than a hot woman. Sometimes the hot woman, too.
My only complaint: They don’t publish a date on their issues so you have no idea when the issue is from if you happen to pick it up somewhere.
