This semester we are creating our own fashion zine- if you don't know what the zine is all about, here is a little run down for you.
The term zine (pronounced "zeen") is an abbreviation for 'fanzine'. Urban dictionary states a zine as a "cheaply made, cheaply priced publication, often in black and white, which is mass-produced via photocopier and bound with staples" however these days zines come in all shapes, styles and forms!
Zines are intimate self-published booklets filled with individual creativity and style.
The special thing about zines is that they are often produced in small amounts and each page is handcrafted by the individual making them pieces of art more so than a mass produced glossy fashion magazine.
Notable zines that have risen to fame include Dazed & Confused, Bust, Giant Robot and Maximum RocknRoll
