Russian Vogue is published in Russia by Conde Nast. Originally published ten times a year, in 2002 it became a monthly. The editor-in-chief is Aliona Doletskaya and the art director is Brendan Parker. It is printed in the UK or Germany for export. Russian Vogue uses big-name photographers as well as Russians regularly in their visual editorial work. While the paper is of a better quality than American Vogue, the printing looks very similar, but at a higher resolution. Their covers are highly original and unlike any other on the market, with rather hard photography and close up shots that might not be considered cover material elsewhere. As a result, they stand out and are very lively and interesting. Well, judge for yourself! Most of the inside photo editorials are also very individual and stand on their own. However, every month they often feature at least one reprinted series that was used previously in other international Vogue's, especially the American edition. Advertising is minimal to good, with big advertisers like Gucci and Cerruti as well as many Russian cigarette ads. Vogue Russia began publishing with the September 1998 issue.

The Room is a Budapest based, bi-annual and bilingual (English and Hungarian) fashion&art magazine, distributed across Europe. Originally its aim of foundation was to relaunch high quality fashion in Hungary, and to create a „room”, an artistic space of free spirit, where creation has no limits or restrictions.

The result is a cutting-edge bookzine, appearing every year in April and in October with a unique and surprising visuality. Among our contributors one can find Hungarian and foreign artists whose common language is free and forward creativity. Inhabitants of the Room believe in the unlimited circulation of values and the boundless nature of creation.

FutureClaw is an oversized (12"x15") fashion, art, music, and culture magazine founded in 2007 in Burlington, Vermont, USA, by photographer/engineer Bobby Mozumder and artist Guy Derry. The magazine took its name from an electro music blog that Guy Derry and Adam DeMartino ran. Bobby introduced the idea of creating a photo style-press magazine after doing a street photo project in Burlington's Art-Hop 2007 with Guy, where they met.

The idea of the magazine came to the founders after seeing so few state-of-the-art American style-press publications compared to the many that exist in Europe and elsewhere in the world. Additionally, the magazine industry's circulation decline was firmly understood when FutureClaw was founded, and so the goal was set to differentiate FutureClaw by taking advantage of the print medium over the internet: the presentation of visuals (photography, design, and illustration) in a large-format. The magazine itself is visible entirely online, using the Issuu viewer, as a way to expand the audience and to promote the physical print product during a declining magazine industry era.

FutureClaw has released a pilot issue (~50 pages) in Spring 2008, and 2 full-sized issues (~200 pages), Fall 2008 and Spring 2009, with the goal of publishing quarterly. The Fall 2008 issue was featured by magazine industry guru Samir Husni in his review of notable national magazine launches of 2008.

SIX was founded with one aim - to celebrate the designers, individuals, independent brands and companies who are creating a more ethical and sustainable future for the fashion industry.

They stand for slow fashion, respect for clothes and those who created them, and the return to individuality.
