Lucire is a fashion magazine that originally began on the web in 1997, branching into a monthly print edition in its home country of New Zealand in 2004. It is the first fashion partner with the UNEP, an arrangement that began in 2003.
At its launch, it was the second online fashion title in New Zealand (after Wellington Polytechnic's Fashionbrat), and the first commercial fashion magazine on the web there. It claims to be the first fashion title to extend its brand from the internet into print, and the first website to launch print editions in more than one country. An unusual claim is that Lucire is the first national consumer publication in New Zealand to use exclusively typefaces designed and produced domestically.
Simone Knol edits the web edition, Laura Ming-Wong the "master" print edition in New Zealand. Summer Rayne Oakes was made the US Editor in 2007. Previous positions were staffed by Stevie Wilson, who served as US Editor-at-Large, Catherine Rigod, who filled the role of West Coast Editor and Richard Spiegel, who worked as a New York based photojournalist, among others. Lucire was founded by Jack Yan, who continues to serve as Publisher.
When conceived, the name was not intended to have a meaning; it was only later that the team discovered it was a quaint Romanian term meaning ‘to glitter’ and there is a similar word in Spanish meaning ‘to show off’.
In the early 2000s, Lucire covered new talent alongside more established names. It was one of the first publications to profile Zac Posen, New Zealand shoe designer Kathryn Wilson, MTV New Zealand presenter and former beauty queen Amber Peebles, and numerous others. In 2003, it was the second-ever New Zealand website to be nominated for a Webby Award.
It launched a Romanian edition (helmed by Mirella and Valentin Lapusca) in May 2005, claiming to be the first New Zealand fashion magazine to enter the continent, and the first webzine in the world to launch two print editions. The magazine is subscribed to throughout the world, including Australia, the United States, and various European nations.
Print edition cover girls have included Brittny Gastineau, Vanessa Carlton, Stacie Jones Upchurch, Nicky Hilton, Theodora Richards and Monica Gabor. New York photographers Barry Hollywood, Gray Scott and Jon Moe have contributed the greatest number of covers.
SIX was founded with one aim - to celebrate the designers, individuals, independent brands and companies who are creating a more ethical and sustainable future for the fashion industry.
They stand for slow fashion, respect for clothes and those who created them, and the return to individuality.

FACTORY isn't printed anymore; was formerly known as Tokion.
The magazine was started in 1996 by Lucas Badtke-Berkow and Adam Glickman, two American expatriates living in Japan, as a cultural bridge between Japan and the United States. In 1998, Tokion opened an American office in Los Angeles. In 2000 it moved into a retail space/office in New York City, while maintaining a retail space/office in Tokyo. While in New York, the magazine's focus shifted from Japanese-influenced content to street culture aesthetics and then to a more global arts magazine featuring interviews with recognized artists such as Lou Reed, Richard Prince, James Brown, Francesco Clemente, Roger Corman, Ed Ruscha and Jeff Koons, while continuing to cover up-and-coming artists such as Harmony Korine, Miranda July, Cory Arcangel and Simone Shubuck. In 2007 Kate Sennert was named editor-in-chief.
In 2002, Badtke-Berkow sold the magazine to Glickman. Badtke-Berkow began publishing Paper Sky and Mammoth magazines in Japan, while Glickman began publishing Japanese and US editions. In 2005, the Japanese edition was sold to Infas Publishing Company. In 2006, the American edition was sold to independent publisher Larry Rosenblum. In 2009, Tokion and Creativity Now were sold out of foreclosure to Donald Hellinger, president of Nylon Holding, Inc., who later closed the magazine.
Aïe is a biannual magazine dedicated to exposing the talents of an emerging generation of artists, photographers, and designers, while at the same time breating new life into existing brands, styles, and creative channels.
Launched in June 2010 at the Louis Vuitton cultural space in Paris, it highlighted itself as a platform to showcase the plethora of talent that still remains under the radar, evolving and forever growing.
Founded by fashion stylist, Alexandra Birchall-White, paleontologist Isabella Kruta and Philosopher Emilie Prattico, Aïe was conceived as the interaction between their disciplines and interests with the aim of showing the world in a new light. All this took shape thanks to the talented designer Micheal Elias, who gave Aïe its logo and who translated the founders' vision on paper, and to art director Elle Azhdari who ensured taht Aïe would deliver with such panache.
The team's shared curiosity for fashion, art, design, research, engineering, philosophy, and scintific anthropology resulted in the shape of a magazine. From X-ray scans to counting the rings marking a tree's life span, Birchall-White, Kruta, Prattico and Azhdari found inspiration, inerested in how these varied aesthetics can become launchpads for creativity.
Anchored with Commissioned shoots by a new generation of photographers. Both established and new Aïe magazine is bulit upon industry support and a handful of close-knit friends.
