Fashion156 Re-Launch

I've always found online magazines just "ok", I occasionally read a couple but they never really catch my attention so much, I think it's because deep down I defiantly prefer actually paper magazines.

Fashion156 is the exception. I've been aware of Fashion156.com for about a year I think and it struck me as being relevant, not too formal, clean looking and varied, this was due to its multiple contributors. I didn't think it could get much better, but it looks like I'm going to eat my words. Fashion156 has re-launched its site, to coincide with London Fashion Week.

The whole site has had a facelift and looks fantastic. It looks as slick as ever, with a superb new layout with a great use of space, really nice choice of font/text.

Something else thats standing out a mile is the photography and colour. Punchy and demanding attention.




All the regular features are still there, including photo shoots, grooming & beauty sections and the daily updated blog.


One of the new features is the Archive section, which lets the readers look back at every single issue of the online magazine. This is also one of the things I suggested when I filled in the questionnaire a few months back!


One of my favourite sections is Hype, much improved from the original format. This is more comprehensive from the previous, including Wants, Trend Forecast, Focus and a section on street style.

Other new editions including a film section which includes footage of the photo shoots and I'm sure they will add all sorts of treats for us to watch in the next few months. There's also a Members - Coming Soon!

What do you think of the new improved site?

Everyone at Fashion156 should be really proud of the new site, I'll bet it was hard work but it has paid of because it looks brilliant. Add Fashion156.com to your bookmarks right now!
