Runway Magazine is an International Media, Global Fashion Authority.
Once upon a time… that is how many stories begin, as well as the story of RUNWAY MAGAZINE. The story started in New York. In 1995 Eleonora de Gray, a young model who worked with Metropolitan agency, walked the runways in New York, Paris and Milan, and decided to express her opinion about what she was actually wearing. With a couple of friends – a photographer, stylist, makeup artist, she prepared a couple of articles, collages and caricature images, put it together in layout in old fashion way, and printed it as a newspaper “RUNWAY” in several hundreds of copies.
This is just another story about a gig friends had. Eleonora was able to bring copies of RUNWAY newspaper with her at the backstage of the shows during New York Fashion Week. She put it on the seats of the guests invited. 1 issue, 2d issue, 3d. Then 3-4 RUNWAY newspapers printed for every season. That was fun indeed to express the opinion, and it was an excellent gig.
No one really knows how many people read these comics and satirical pamphlets, watched funny pictures in RUNWAY newspaper. No one really knows how many editors or their assistants took RUNWAY newspaper seriously, and wrote their own stories. No one really knows how many movies used RUNWAY as an inspiration… as many saw RUNWAY as an expression of something brilliant, creative, even existential, as a revelation of the possibilities which lie beyond constricted existence.
