Get Featured in FASHION Magazine

FASHION Magazine covers fashion, beauty and style, a field where established houses and large beauty groups take up most of the conversation. Coverage won through cold outreach usually goes to brands that already have a showroom, an agency or a famous customer. A guaranteed placement works differently: it is arranged with the publication before any writing starts, you sign off on the draft, and it goes live on fashionmagazine.com within a window stated in writing, usually one to two weeks. It is a real article on the site that you can put in a proposal, a deck or a profile.

What FASHION Magazine covers

FASHION Magazine is a fashion and beauty publication serving readers in Canada. Publications in this category cover what people wear and how they present themselves: clothing and accessories, designers and collections, beauty, skincare and cosmetics, hair, and personal style. They combine news of launches and trends with profiles of the people behind the labels, giving readers both ideas to use and names to remember.

Fashion and beauty move by season and by launch. A new collection, a product release, a store opening, a collaboration or a campaign gives a publication its reason to write, and the best features use that moment to explain the thinking behind the work. Materials, sourcing, fit, the founder’s background and the customer the brand was made for are the details that style readers look for.

Who reads FASHION Magazine

People read a fashion and beauty publication like FASHION Magazine for ideas and for discovery: readers in Canada deciding what to wear, what to buy and which new names deserve attention. Style coverage is also read by people in the trade, including buyers, boutique owners, stylists, makeup artists, photographers, brand teams and other writers looking for what is next.

That counts for a lot in a business built on perception. A feature in FASHION Magazine gives customers and trade contacts a published account of your brand in a publication devoted to style, which supports wholesale approaches, line sheets and new client inquiries. Shoppers who are undecided often look for this kind of reassurance before they buy from a name they do not know.

Earning recognition among readers in Canada

It is easy to treat Canada as an extension of a larger market, but buyers there pay attention to their own press. Coverage in FASHION Magazine meets them where they read. It supports local credibility, helps nearby customers and suppliers recognize you, and gives anyone in Canada who researches your company a relevant result. For a company from outside the country, that local footing takes time to build otherwise.

Those who want visibility in Canada are often businesses serving several provinces, from manufacturers and builders to software companies and clinics. Entrepreneurs and executives building personal reputations are also common. So are foreign brands that are entering the Canadian market and need local recognition.

A story is ready for FASHION Magazine when a reader could act on it: see the collection, buy the product, visit the shop or book the appointment. Before that point, it is an idea. Style readers also want a clear aesthetic, so it helps to be able to say in a sentence what your work looks like and who it is for.

We open by agreeing on one angle from the list below. A brand usually has more than one story available, and the work is in choosing the one a style reader will find most convincing.

What weakens a pitch

• No sense of the look. Fashion and beauty are visual. If the piece cannot describe what the work looks like, readers have nothing to picture.
• A launch that is too far off. If the collection or product is months from being available, waiting usually produces a better feature.
• Comparisons to famous houses. Describing a label as the next version of a well-known name invites an unflattering comparison and says nothing original.
• Everyone as the customer. A brand “for all women” or “for everybody” is hard to picture. Naming who it is really for makes the story sharper.
