Issue Five

PREFACE

Welcome To Issue 5 of TheZoom Magazine.The publication you are now reading represents the third piece in a two-part digital celebration of TheZoom’s 2-year anniversary. In part 1, Issue 4, we showcased the youth and young creators who are making an impact on our culture in 2017. Part 2, this issue, is an examination of longevity and the increasingly difficult feat of achieving it in a world that has become increasingly focused on the”now”.

Over the past 2 years we’ve seen countless brands come and go, numerous designers rise and fall, and trends seemingly change with the weather, yet through it all there are certain players who have endured. Some of them blossomed in the post-blog era, but many of the individuals we’ve chosen to present were already household names in a time before the web and have stayed true to their vision through the years, continuing to thrive and capture our attention.With a whopping 10 stories (for a total of 5 covers this year) we’re highlighting a range of key creators from across various disciplines and cultures.

Our global team of editors, photographers, stylists, and contributors have put together a fantastic new issue that we hope succinctly captures the theme of art and culture itself serve as both a reference and as a collectible publication for years to come. Thank you for being a part of our journey. Enjoy
