V (American magazine)

In a media landscape crowded with legacy fashion titles, V Magazine carved out its own lane by merging high fashion with music, film, art, and celebrity culture. Founded by Stephen Gan, the publication quickly became known for its oversized visuals, provocative editorials, and cover stories that often shaped conversations beyond the fashion world.

Rather than simply documenting trends, V built its identity around cultural influence. Its pages have featured some of the biggest names in entertainment, from musicians and actors to supermodels and emerging creatives, all captured through bold photography and experimental styling.

Over the years, V has expanded beyond print, evolving into a multimedia platform while staying rooted in the visual storytelling that made it stand out. For many in fashion, photography, and contemporary culture, V remains a publication that doesn’t just report on what’s next. It helps define it.
