2023 SWATCH Magazine Lookbook
2023 SWATCH Magazine — Issue 05: The Void
This past year, SWATCH Magazine moved from two publications a year to one magazine publication a year. After many lengthy discussions at the beginning of the fall 2022 semester around themes and ideas for this issue of the magazine, the SWATCH staff brought The Void to life. We were looking for something that would allow us to challenge our norms, express our creative selves through visual and written storytelling, and relate to each other simultaneously. Recent issues “Visionary” and “Revival” were about broadcasting our visions for the future and renewing our inner selves, where The Void is about chasing opportunities that allow us to fill space with diversity and individuality. We had a desire to foster a theme that would be bold, unique and challenge readers to really think deeply about the theme. Our goal was to leave a lasting impact on our readers with our profound idea of what “space” is and going out with a bang and the new, one and only (so far) 62 page magazine publication this 2022-2023 school year.
The following images were taken for the 2023 photoshoot for SWATCH’s fifth magazine issue, “THE VOID”. This theme was derived from expressing ourselves creatively through space, our mindset, our career goals and the rooms we step in everyday. These ideas have taught us to challenge our thinking as well as our ways of doing and being. Additionally, these ideas have allowed us to look at the concept of space with a fresh and advanced perspective. We are blessed to have the talent, individuality, uniqueness & support in our apparel program and on the pages of the fifth edition of SWATCH magazine. Join us as we create space for ourselves in every aspect of our lives.
