David Gates was right when he said that “a picture paints a thousand words.” And it’s fair to say that at least some of those words, when the picture in question is part of a fashion pictorial, describe a publication’s desired audience. For Elle US that demographic would appear to target the career woman. Remember her? The 80s and 90s dream (or so I’m told) for all women. A dream that upcoming generations simply don’t share. Hence, Elle’s career woman focussed pictorial, featuring model Hilary Rhoda, in their April 2010 issue may not only fail to appeal, it mightn’t even be understood.

Late one Oxford night Daniel P Dykes set about creating a fashion publication that would go someway to being an arbiter on fashion as it appeals to the emerging power generations: those who don't remember a world without the Internet and for whom work plays second fiddle to pleasure. And so Fashionising.com was born as a publication for those who were focussed not just on fashion's trends, but on society's too, and how those trends could all go to heighten the art of living. Hence, Daniel sees a future where, for those young at heart, both fashion and style are grounded in traditional quality, but with a youthful, sensualised edge. Daniel is Fashionising.com's Editor in Chief and Chairman.
