Fashion and Textiles Magazines

[Katrina O'Brien]

Fashion and Textiles Magazines make up a large percentage of the Fashion and Textiles industry. Consumers buy them to get the insight on new trends, see what celebrities are wearing, and giving new tips on remaking your wardrobe. What makes a magazine? There are the papers, mostly pine that take twenty years to mature, or alternatively the paper made from a non tree fibre, there may be a recycled content – that has been deinked and bleached, has the paper a gloss on, is it coated, what inks are used, are the fumes that are released by inks monitored properly, and what involves the printing process itself? There are many things to consider, and there are a lot of processes that are damaging to the environment that are used.
