FRUiTS
in my hunt for fashion inspiration, and my overall love for magazines, I've found that there really aren't that many alternative fashion magazines (that I can find). I discovered the japanese fashion magazine FRUiTS a couple months ago, but haven't really had the time to go through any of the issues until now. I love the colour, personality, and layering found in all the outfits depicted. I wanna increase the effort I put into my appearance, and clothes that I like. I think it would be very fun. although I am a pintrest lover, sometimes you just need to take a step back. out if the algorithms and trends, and into catalogues of outfits of teens and young adults, in the early 2000s. I found most of these through internet archive, witch has a good selection of pdf's, as well as some very trust worthy links in reddit posts! I would absolutely love to own the physical copies of these magazines/books, but I'm not spending $100+ on one book, I'm a student lol.
in 2025, I want to dress more like me. and for me. not for the invisible audience I've created in my head, but for me. I love seeing people creativity in what they wear, both online and irl. although I'm not that drawn to bright colours, FRUiTS has lowkey inspired me so much to dress more like myself in the new year, 10/10 magazine would recommend.
(if you know of any other alternative fashion magazines pls like send me a message in a bottle, or carrier pigeon or smthn :3 ) (also honorable shout outs to Gothic & Lolita, and DAZED (I haven't been able to get my hands on any DAZED issues tho :( ))
