Even with its untraditional goals—untraditional for a fashion magazine—I’m still skeptical about Twin Magazine. Twin Magazine is a fashion magazine set to launch in London, which plans to be distinct from other fashion magazines in that it will “love creative women and not worship empty celebrity.”
According to features editor of Twin Magazine Aimée Farrell, it will feel more like an object to keep, rather than a typical throw-away periodical. The Twin website states that it is closer to a book than a magazine, and that it offers substance over surface. It’s easy to talk the talk, but I’m really curious to see how Twin will actually set itself apart.
