Summary:

Niche fashion magazines speak to a highly fashion-literate, global readership; they mix the codes of style magazines, glossy women's magazines and art catalogues. They are often produced and read by people engaged in the business of creating fashion taste. Through this business-to-business practice, the niche magazine genre is powerful in shaping the face of fashion. Based on unique analysis of niche fashion magazines and unprecedented access to the making of the respected Danish niche fashion magazine, 'DANSK', including interviews with its makers and its readers, this book unveils the behind-the-scenes of niche fashion magazines.
