Ant Fashion Magazine 2012

Every year, the 20-week minor programme Independent Fashion Magazines at AMFI gives 35 students the unique opportunity to conceptualise and create a new fashion magazine that has its own style and visual language. All the marketing and PR is carried out by students.

The magazine programme works according the Reality School concept: all products require to stand the test of the professional world of publishing and fashion. And so the AMFI magazine has a new title and new look every year and is sold worldwide from Tokyo to New York.

Programme info

During the first half of the minor programme students make their own print magazine working in small groups. After nine weeks a jury of publishing professionals picks one concept that will be published and launched as the new AMFI magazine.

In the second half of the programme all students become part of this new magazine brand and turn it into a brand. They make a translation to the internet (website, social media, iPad), develop a yearbook and product line, and think about ways to market and sell the new brand.
