What is a Zine?

Zine's are a shortened version of a magazine and are mainly targeting a limited audience. They are a inexpensively produced, self published, underground publication, ranging from hand drawn to printed and even online.

The exact date of the first zine is unknown, roughly in the 1970's, but Benjamin Franklin could argue that ( if he was alive) because in the 18th century he started a small literary magazine for psychiatric patients at a Pennsylvania. This could be considered the very first zine because it captures the essence of the philosophy and meaning of a Zine. 

Here a few cool Fashion Zines :

1. A fad that quickly came and quickly passed, was the american flag on anything and everything.

2. The crop top can be pulled off, if worn with a cute high waisted skirt or shorts but wearing it with hipsters has most certainly gone out of fashion.

3. Wearing ten million rings and making your hands weigh a few kg extra used to be a huge hit. Nowadays its one massive staple ring or lots of simple smaller rings.

4. Once people realised that growing your hair back takes ummm, a long time, they realized this was a bad idea.

5. Jeggings... Feel like leggings but look like jeans..

 6. While it had a great run, its time to move on. Mustard colour is being replaced with lemon yellows this year.

7. Crocs, no comment necessary

8. Double denim! Some hated, some loved..

9. What was Alexander Mcqueen thinking. The 'Armidillo' Heel is getting alot of names, and strange is one of them.. WHYYYYY

10. Gladiator Sandals.
