Our club is going to be an online fashion magazine. It would focus more on the culture and style of those on campus, as opposed to being a “high fashion” magazine. It would be completely gender inclusive (men, trans, and non-gender conforming are welcome to participate and talk about their own style/tips). It would feature fashion, beauty, and even some lifestyle. The cover would feature someone on campus who is doing amazing things (whether it be towards their career or just making amazing changes on campus). We would also talk a little about events going on/some important news going on around campus. Since this magazine would be online only, we would also like to incorporate some video projects to go along with the monthly magazine.
