Lush & Culture Zine

An alternative fashion zine / Fully digital / 2020 - 2021

About.

lush. originally began as a component of Jay Raissis's portfolio but later transformed into an international fashion, style, and photography publication. The essence of creativity resided within a diverse team of five editors, each with a unique educational background. Their goal was to establish a secure space where both fashion enthusiasts and everyday individuals could engage with insightful articles and stay updated on industry news.

Starting in May 2021, lush. rebranded itself as Lush. & Culture Magazine. With this new identity, the publication then delivered weekly online articles across various categories, including Fashion, Art, Culture, LGBT, and Environment. Moreover, Lush. & Culture Magazine continued to release a lush. Magazine edition every three months, featuring exclusive articles spanning all these categories.

We were excited to embark on this enriching journey with our readers, providing a platform that celebrated diversity, creativity, and the passion that propelled the worlds of fashion and culture forward.
