FAD Magazine 3

Hi all!

Our apologies, postings on AZD have been a little low lately because... the third issue of f.a.d. magazine has been released! Daphne is the Features Editor, Alice and Zoe are Co-Editors in Chief. Bigger than ever (a whopping 60 pages, 50% larger than our first issue!), LOTS of people's work went into this issue.

Above is the cover image. Student model Frances (endless thanks!) posed for Daphne, who photographed this shot loosely inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Alice made the blue dress and Daphne customized a stripey leotard (worn underneath the dress) with cheery faux flowers. Be sure to check out our review of student bloggers, including Keeping the Doctor Away song-a-day blog, Allie Kate's poetry blog, Flo's lifestyle and fashion blog, and Justin Burris's architecture blog. Also check the magazine's interviews with Vogue's Sally Singer, Bergdorf Goodman's Linda Fargo, Ugly Betty's Mark Indelicato, style icon Lynn Yaeger, designer Rachel Roy, Ralph Lauren's Julie Berman, Jane Creative's Spencer Gellman, one of J. Crew's jewelry designers Molly Hanna Carey, Lulu Frost's Lisa Salzer, Designed Memory's Kyle Camping, and 10Waverly's Amy Elfenbein and Casey Rosenblum.

Welcome to Issue 3, the final issue of the 2009-2010 school year! We have had a tremendous first volume here at f.a.d., and looking back at our first issue published this past fall we love seeing the progress of this emerging magazine. Working on this past issue we realized just how far we have come as a group, and how fortunate we are to have been able to build a community around fashion, art, and design within the Horace Mann School. We would like to extend our endless thanks to the people who make this production possible, including the inde-fad-igable contributing staff and ever-supportive Horace Mann teachers and faculty. This 100% student-produced issue is a whopping 60 pages choc-filled with fashion editorials, interviews with industry professionals, student artwork, and more. Our focus for this issue initially held its base in Alice in Wonderland, but morphed into an appreciation of a new wonderland: the internet. As the professional publishing industry is “dying,” what with online magazines and e-readers like the iPad, f.a.d. works hard to keep its content fresh, memorable, and worth sending to print. While remaining true to publishing’s roots, we still work to embrace new media in all of its forms by maintaining the magazine’s strong online presence. You will not only find f.a.d. in print on HM’s magazine racks, but also online on social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Issuu.com. The week of April 26th, 2010 f.a.d. is hosting Horace Mann’s inaugural Fashion Week including a student-produced fashion show on Monday, April 26th. In the spirit of the magazine, this whole production we call f.a.d. is a group effort and you too can become a part of the experience by joining us online or for HM Fashion Week.

Sincerely,
Alice Taranto (11) and Zoe Kestan (11)
Co-editors in chief
