Indie Magazine Back From the Dead

Rough Review has an exclusive interview with editor of independent magazine, Dujour, coming up. We all thought up until yesterday, that Dujour was lying in a shallow, eco-friendly grave. However, the fashionable New Yorkers are back and ready to share their story with their loyal readers.

If Dujour is new to you, it is –

“a print and digital magazine which is published bi-monthly, featuring articles on fashion and style, beauty and shopping. Founded by editor Letitia Burrell, Dujour is exactly what I’ve been searching to satisfy my craving for new and exciting fashion inspiration.

Burrell began Dujour as “she was uninspired with what was being offered on newsstands and felt nothing could relate to her in terms of high fashion that inspired while at the same time mixed with realistic fashion she could attain, all with a generous dose or artsy fun and intelligence” – About, DujourMag.com”

La Revue du Jour, Rough Review.com

Dujour wants to answer all your questions about the magazine, where they’ve been and what they plan for the future as well as a general discussion about the future of independent magazine publishing.

Not Quite Art – Series 2 out now!

Centuries ago, ‘art’ was something enjoyed by the wealthy upper class – for something to be considered ‘art’, it had to meet certain standard sand credentials, something only a trained artist was capable of producing. Since then, however, the concept of ‘art’ has changed considerably. Now, in the 21st century, it has been completely revolutionised.
