Description:
Gazelland Magazine started out as a project in putting to print the cutting-edge nightlife fashion. A magazine that has had some of the best known figures of the nightlife across three continents, and we've travelled quite a bit to get some of the most visually illuminating photography in any so-called "fashion magazine." Not traditionally popular fashion, the artists portrayed (models/performance artists/makeup artists/photographer/writers/etc) have all made names for themselves in a relatively underground/unexploited venue. Gazelland is essentially turning on the lights at the dark clubs and showing readers all those outrageously vibrant fashions and styles which all major club owners have already implemented as a necessity for survival. How these nightlife styles impact the fashion world at large trickles down into the major fashion magazines as "avant garde" masterpieces in a couture line in Milan. Our very esteemed and contributing columnist brings with him the same flare for which he is well known in New York as one of the most read columnists. What began as a project of curiosity to gauge public interest has overwhelmed us to continue this so-called "project" for citywide distribution in the three main cities for which the magazine was originally designed, and thus personal investment is no longer suitable to handle the sort of interest and demand we have been generating, therefore we are seeking venture capital as a means of turning this into a high yield business venture.
