ABOUT

You found us. We’re (the)MAGAZINE.
Yes, the brackets are on purpose.
A wink, and also a message.

We’re a subculture magazine, and we like messing with format, identity, and whatever you think a magazine is supposed to be.
There’s no schedule.
An issue comes out when it has something to say. Each one has a single theme, and we let a lot of different people loose on it.
Think of an issue as a field: you walk in, and we don’t finish it for you.
Expect research, criticism, science fiction, speculative writing, performance diaries, and whatever else the theme ends up needing.

We run on volunteers and individual donations.
If you’d like the next issue to exist, please chip in.

We said it.
You decide if it’s true.

Trudy Giordano

I’m a writer and founder of (the)MAGAZINE, exploring culture, creativity, and the ideas that shape them—often through fashion. My work focuses on collaboration, authorship, and the human side of creative industries.

I’m committed to transparency and responsibility in authorship, viewing creative tools as part of a broader editorial practice while maintaining ownership of ideas, perspective, and final output.

Independent subculture magazine.

No schedule. No stockpile.

Printed when it matters.

Culture, identity, fashion, perception.
