Androgyny Story: Images, Nylon Magazine

Before it's fashion features got pushed to the back and forgotten, Nylon, was notoriously androgynous. It clicked with readers during a time when other glossies portrayed models as goddesses or delicate shells.  When really, we just wanted to see someone real.  Nylon got it.

  1. NYLON used to be so so awesome. I was thinking exactly about this when I was back at home since that's where all of them are. i usually look through all of them about once every other year to refresh my memory of its awesomeness.

  3. Arlette Monkewitz. love her too.

    NYLON used to use the best models before they made it big. same with everything else. instead of merely following they'd break the trends. one of those magazines with that buzz. now they're a glossified version of TV Guide.
