N.E.E.T. Magazine for Grassroots Fashion

Filed under: Style in the News, Vintage and Retro

N.E.E.T. MagazineThe spring issue of N.E.E.T. Magazine just came out over the weekend, and as usual, it does not disappoint. This online-only magazine is the brainchild of Stephanie J, a freelance web designer based in the UK who created the mag as a way to spotlight her top picks in grassroots fashion and creativity.

N.E.E.T. is free, published quarterly, and packed full of the best in independent designers, vintage online shopping, and fashion photography and illustration by up and coming artists from around the globe. The March 2008 issue has a great spotlight on some European fashion bloggers plus a few killer photographic spreads. There's a DIY tutorial for making an adorable applique pillow, plus you can find out how many vintage stores get those amazing antique goods. The cool thing about N.E.E.T. is that as you're browsing the magazine, you can click on the website addresses for featured shops and advertisers and be taken directly to their websites. (Links will open in a new window, so you don't lose your place while you're reading the mag.)

A review in Venus Magazine likened N.E.E.T. to "NYLON's funkier, thrift-store chic little sister". I think that's a pretty apt description. Check out the current issue here or browse back issues.
