WHAT IS VIVRANT MAGAZINE?

Vivrant Magazine (Vivacious – Rant)

VIVRANT Magazine is the fashion voice that speaks to an innovative American "woman of color" – metropolitan and always cosmopolitan; either uptown or downtown she is cultured and embraces all cultural experiences of her peers; She is multicultural, global and always on the cutting edge of fashion, lifestyle and entertainment.

Vivrant presents a fresh, original voice on the ever so muddeled newsstands of our time. It is a fashion voice that speaks to a young generation of people from diverse upbringings and interests. Their role models range from politicians to fashion models, from authors and historians to rap artists and musicians. Their style is inspired by the runway but is totally their own when she hits the street.

VIVRANT Magazine is taking the fashion we love and making it all make sense in a beautiful, uplifting, empowering and colorful way. The magazine brings a focused voice of fashion with an insider’s appeal.

Vivrant's rich fashion perspective allows our sophisticated readers to discover her own style and still enjoy the trends as they emerge. We offer a sneak peek into the inner workings of the fashion industry while bringing life, vitality to the young intelligent consumer. These are women who shop for entertainment, status and empowerment. The pages of Vivrant Magazine burst with emotion all with a fashionable sensibility.

We take some of the mystery of fashion, mix it with the discovery and objectivity of beauty and the knowledge of style and pack it back into our pages, all for our reader’s benefit. We put the choice back into fashion, not mandating what women should wear but helping the reader discover the many facets of fashion and where they can fit it into their lives.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN:

The making of Vivrant Magazine’s first issue was an amazing challenge, one I will never forget. As with anything in life once you do it you can never call it your first time again. Well this is an venture is filled with firsts for me. The idea and concept of the Vivrant brand and the Vivrant woman is still being developed, but as things progressed I quickly realized that it was more than a project or a job to me. This magazine was something that was truly close to my heart. The idea of the title came from a combination of two words Vivacious and Rant. Vivrant is a word that embraces many meanings. Vivrant is a play on the word vibrant (meaning full of high energy and brightness) This is what we wanted to see in our magazine so we filled this magazine with color. As I discovered while reviewing the fashion collections of the Spring 2012 season and seeing the faces of the beautiful people on the runway, I was determined to bring that diverse feeling to the pages of this magazine as well.

Our magazine represents diversity in beauty and style just as fashion would expect a magazine too. Infusing this magazine with color and crossing color boundaries just reflects something I have experienced all my life. Fashion like music is one of the forms that bridge our color lines and add rich color and style back to our lives. Style is also infused with many different ethnocentric values and cultural influences. Why not create a magazine that encompasses all our levels of culture and style straight from the heart of New York, fashion capital.

We need your help to get us to the next level!!!
