PHOSPHENES is a New York-based, independent fashion magazine. Founded as a fashion blog by Scott Shapiro in 2013, the magazine’s print edition formally debuted in spring 2016.
PHOSPHENES sees fashion as an art form, capable of not only inspiring, but empowering individuals. However, this can only be possible if all people are included; PHOSPHENES is meant to be a creative platform that adequately represents a wide range of people, promoting diversity and positive representation of femmes both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. We hope that this will some day have a larger impact on how we define concepts such as “beauty” and “power,” and on the fashion industry as a whole.
Still continuing to evolve, PHOSPHENES now operates independently towards revolutionizing the fashion media landscape.
