TWENTEEN ‘ZINE is a free magazine aimed at the teen to

early thirties demographic of London and Brighton. We are

proud to be the first free ‘zine specifically of this kind, built from

scratch by a group of students and graduates/fresh industry talent

showcasing passion and encouraging creativity, inspiration and

individuality. The magazine will focus on creative and fashion

points of interest, whilst discussing cultural and health issues

amongst both guys and girls, aiming to promote free- spirited and

out-of-the-box thinking in a non- elitist way, embracing all walks

of life and style. TWENTEEN will be an open space for anyone

to contribute upon topical subjects, capturing and influencing the

zeitgeist of modern day creative’s.

Likened to that of Vice, Disorder and i-D, Twenteen will fit snugly

among other mainstream magazines, offering a free, pocket-able

‘zine for all walks of life.

Above being a contributed voice from trend setters,

TWENTEEN will keep to no boundaries, forming a creative

bubble within which to stream the thoughts of all in-betweens, no

matter whether you’re wearing skinny jeans, Nike, Apparel or just

that old shirt you had taken in by your fashion designing

housemate!

“A non-elitist space, where everybody gets to TALK”
