ILikeMyStyle Magazine

In 2009, Adriano Sack and I founded ILikeMyStyle Quarterly. A printed zine 250+ pages and a circulation of 25K copies distributed at select newsstands and bookstores around the world. It was the first user-generated fashion magazine created by an online community. Ilikemystyle.net predated Instagram by a few years. Art director Judith Banham of Middlecott Design, Detroit combed our platform for the most brilliant content and we curated pieces from its most flamboyant users. The magazine took a critical look at the fashion discourse and questioned traditional media hierarchies. Both online and magazine content shaped an irreverent, rebellious community interested in clothes, art, body, and sex that shunned elitist notions of the industry. It was a true people’s magazine as it celebrated the glamour of real (and totally surreal) personalities and showcased new forms of expressions revolving around style from all over the world.
In 2011 Ilikemystyle was awarded Gold at the Lead Awards as "Newcomer Magazine of the Year".
