Frequently asked questions about Alt fashion magazine
Q) What is Alt fashion magazine?
A) The magazine is a spin off from the site; alt fashion. It is printed twice a year, and it covers companies, designers, shops & sites of the alternative pursation, as well as events, photo shoots, model features, tutorials, & international talent.
It currently has a colour cover, & is a mixture of black and white, to full colour print inside much like other zine's on the market. We are working to include colour inside each issue, which you can see from our latest issues. But we feel the lack of colour by no means affects the quality of the content inside :)
Q) How often is the magazine published?
A) It's published twice a year, so each issue is on sale in: Spring/Summer; April & Autumn/Winter; October.
