I couldn't help but want to share this editorial from Papercut, a digital magazine with a mission to "highlight the artistic, political and cultural landscape of the emerging fashion community." [via Papercut Magazine]
I have known about Papercut for some time now, and I have always been impressed by their burgeoning collection of fashion editorials featuring a new generation of fashion names. Outsiders not affiliated with the magazine in any way are able to submit their own editorials under the condition that they are original content and contain only independent designers and emerging labels. Certainly a different perspective on the classic fashion editorial, dominated by a wealth of mainstream names that can be found to dwell on Madison Avenue.
The editorial Mad About Hue takes this perspective and meshes it with the world of colorful fashion, highlighting lesser-known names such as Basso & Brooke, Nova Chiu, and Jayne Pierson.
Whereas newsstand glossies often feature high-fashion looks each focused around one designer, Papercut takes pride in the freedom to mix and match. The result is beautifully eclectic and restores fashion to a multi-dimensional standpoint.

The expressive fabric designs combine with beauty and photography for a multimedia art that can have no rival. It is reality captured in image, inspiration captured in the pairings of garments. Not superficiality, but an art we strive to perfect. Oh, fashion magazines, do not elude me! |
