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.

Corduroy is based on the idea that a corduroy jacket never goes out of style. In the same way, they profile actors, musicians, designers and fine artists who aren’t looking to follow mainstream trends, but rather focused on creating something classic.
Part gallery space and part storybook, Corduroy is as much about quality writing as it is about strong design. There are equal pages dedicated to art as there are to writing. The result is a timeless publication that is kept and treasured. Whether on the coffee table or on the bookshelf, this is a magazine that, like a corduroy jacket, will remain with readers for years to come.
Corduroy is sold at major retailers across North America, including Barnes & Noble, Universal News, Chapters/Indigo and Books-A-Million, as well as in leading boutiques like Colette (Paris), Palais de Tokyo (Paris), Opening Ceremony (New York and Los Angeles) and the Gagosian Gallery. They are also distributed internationally in select cities like London, Paris, Stockholm, Sydney, Seoul, Hong Kong, Barcelona, Bangkok and Berlin.

L'Officiel is a French fashion magazine. It has been published in Paris since 1921 and targets upper-income, educated women aged 25 to 49. As of 2006, it had a circulation of 101,719. A men's edition of L'Officiel and eleven foreign editions (as of March 2008) are also published.L'Officiel was first published by Andrée Castaniée in 1921. George Jalou joined the magazine as artistic director in 1932. Soon after, L'Officiel launched the careers of designers including Pierre Balmain, Cristobal Balenciaga, Christian Dior, and Yves St. Laurent, and the magazine became "the Bible of fashion and of high society". Jalou later became the magazine's general director, and ultimately purchased the publication. He transferred ownership of L'Officiel to his three children in 1986. Laurent became the president of Editions Jalou, Marie-José directed its editorial content, and Maxime was responsible for publication. After Laurent died of a heart attack in January 2003, Marie-José Susskind-Jalou became the company's president. In recent years, the publication has taken a more youthful, energetic approach to fashion.
Beginning in 1996, L'Officiel began licensing its brand for use by publishers outside of France. Foreign editions of L'Officiel are now published in Russia, Japan, India, China, the United Arab Emirates, Brazil, Greece, Latvia, the Netherlands, Ukraine, and Serbia. L'Officiel India is India's "premiere fashion and luxury magazine"; in 2007, its publishers announced that they would also publish L'Officiel India in the United Kingdom to target overseas Indians there.
A men's edition of L'Officiel, called L'Officiel Homme, is also published.
