Popteen Japan

Popteen is a monthly teenage fashion magazine published by the Kadokawa Haruki Corporation in Japan. The first issue was published October 1, 1980, by Kadokawa Shoten, but later issues were produced by Asuka Shinsha who bought the magazine for 200 million yen. In 1994, the magazine was bought by the Kadokawa Haruki Corporation for 600 million yen, and has since become its flagship publication.

Popteen is one of Asia's top fashion magazines. The magazine is published in Japan and Taiwan, and has recently launched a web presence in the United States.

Japanese magazine's 'cover queen' is Ayumi Hamasaki, who has been featured on the cover 21 times since 2000. Other artists that appeared on the cover include Kumi Koda, Namie Amuro, Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears, Fergie and Gwen Stefani.

The magazine is famous for having a 'user-model business-model' where its readers become models in the magazine. It is notable for its coverage of Gyaru fashions. One of the most popular popteen models was Tsubasa Masuwaka who in December 2007 married Umesan Naoki, a male fashion model. She announced on her blog that she had graduated from Popteen and that the February 2008 issue would be her last.

Swoon Magazine is an NYC-based local media project. Its audience is that dicey sliver of Venn who do read the articles in Playboy, then throw out the rest and run to chew on the images in Swoon. Don’t get us wrong—Swoon is a deeply political organism as much as it is a party machine—and its politics are this: that glamour can, and must exist in our daily lives—and you can do it, if not by yourself then with a little bit of help from your friends.

The fashion industry is predicated on the same planned obsolescence that as we speak is dozing up piles of waste that people can, and do, ski on. A fashion cabal on the other hand, a fashion coterie, is sexy and sustainable. Fashion is an action and not a destination. Our mission is twofold: to showcase innovative designers and photographers and to reclaim fashion as an artistic expression outside of the push to create commercial trends. We believe that photography and fashion, like any other art form, require a space for creative play and experimentation outside of the confines of their respective commercial industries. Fashion must trot beside you as your life’s cadence calls, elsewise you will find yourself panting after it up the J-curve to infinity. And ya gonna kill yuhself that way hun—YA ARE! We cannot live at such a velocity of need. To appropriate Burroughs, “How fast can you take your time and still look hot, kid?” Ask yourself long and hard—if you still can’t see it, Swoon will snap a picture. We’ve come to reclaim the master’s tulles.
