With all the hallmarks one expects of a Purple magazine photo shoot, though with only implied nudity, model Constance Jablonski takes to the pages of their spring 2011 issue. Visually appealing for being sensually shot and soft on the eye it is, however, the shoot’s nature that is the real point of interest. Dedicated to the Yves Saint Laurent fashion house, and solely featuring clothes from their-in, it raises the question as to whether we’re looking at a pictorial or an advertorial-cum-pictorial.

Neither phase us, but if it were an advertorial should it be marked as such? Or do we, as consumers of such media, just accept the fashion industry’s constant blurring of advertising and editorial?

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.
