Threads&Talks
Editorial Design
The fashion industry currently faces a shifting landscape, marked by Gen Z. This generation's apparent disinterest in traditional high fashion prompts a critical exploration of its underlying cause and potential solutions. Through an editorial lens, I explore the dynamic between established notions of luxury and the evolving style preferences of the youngest consumer cohort, inviting readers to partake in a dialogue that could redefine the very essence of the industry.
Grid System.
This editorial employs a grid system with 6 rows and 6 columns. The grid is tailored to margins of 0.25 inches at the top bottom, and outside, and 0.50 inch for the inside. The gutter measurement for both rows and columns is set at 0.1667 inches.

FINAL DESIGNS
REFLECTION
The journey of creating Threads&Talks was marked by numerous hurdles that demanded perseverance. Connecting with industry professionals posed a challenge, with many failing to respond or cancelling engagements. Consequently, I pivoted the magazine away from its initial Q&A format, delving into research and immersive writing for each piece. Despite these obstacles, they spurred creative solutions, fostering engaging article presentations that seamlessly integrated text as visual elements.
