Astonish Magazine: Issue Zero

When I first saw the cover of Astonish Magazine Issue Zero, I gasped.  The work that the Astonish Team has done on their first cover is astonishing, like their namesake.  This completely blew me away! The lighting, the material of the dress, the vibrant colors, and the gorgeous model that was used for it, exceeds anyone's expectations!  Take a look at this........

 I see talent, immense talent, in the people that worked on this.  Their efforts paid off though, the magazine is starting out with a bang!  After seeing this I cannot wait for the next issue, Issue One, to be published and I'm sure many other people feel that way also!  

You can check out the full first issue on their website, I promise there's going to be a lot more to love about it!   http://www.astonishmagazine.com/

Astonish Magazine Launches Today!

Astonish Magazine, the incredibly interesting fashion and art magazine that I wrote about a couple of days ago, is finally launching its first issue.  The exact launch date is March 28th at 12:00 AM EST.  That is in just a couple of hours!  I cannot wait!  I hope you all head over to their site, the artists they have been featuring are truly something else....a blend of creativity and freedom.

Check out the following photos, and get a little taste of what Astonish promises to be...................

The styling is...just...wow!  Everyone that collaborated on this should be extremely proud.  The models, the setting, the styling and makeup all fit together like puzzle pieces.  

 Simple...yet the sheer fabric in her hand is more than enough for me to love this!

I wish there was more of this one.  The models and the delicate concept for this shot could have made a great  editorial!

 I love the contrast between her blonde girlish looks, and the tough leather jacket and cigarrette.

The setting!  The styling!  The light coming through the window....its a work of art!  So stunning!

 This shot would be wonderful for either a makeup or jewelery campaign...both are impeccable!

ART....PURE ART!!!

Fashion and art.  Creativeness.  Freedom.  Talent.  I am more than inspired with these photos...I can't wait for the full magazine to come out, my inspiration will go through the roof!   Be ready for the launch everyone, head over to the site, as of now there is roughly 3 hours and 40 minutes left until the official launch!  http://www.astonishmagazine.com/

Astonish Magazine: On the Rise

Recently, on Twitter I found this amazing fashion and art magazine called Astonish Magazine.

When I went to their website it was absolutely breathtaking what they had going on.  The website features a different artist every day, and let me tell you...it leaves you speechless!  This is what the site says in its "About Us" section:

"ASTONISH is a visually-driven independent fashion & art magazine with a European sensibility based in the United States. We showcase the most amazing up-and-coming fashion and art talents in the global spotlight. ASTONISH is also a movement, a calling for creative freedom amongst our worldwide team of photographers, fashion designers, stylists to create the most breathtaking fashion and arts masterpieces without inhibitions.

We are a quarterly magazine that will be launching an online version in Spring 2011 and a printversion in Fall 2011."

What I love the most about the magazine is that it stands for creative freedom....I'm all about liberty! I'm positive that it'll be a success, its concept is so new and refreshing.  We need more of this in the fashion industry! So everyone go on and visit their website http://www.astonishmagazine.com/

I promise you won't regret it, its like a heaven of fashion inspiration!
