Iconique Fashion Magazine: In here life is beautiful! Fashion, Luxury, Style, Trends, Arts, Beauty and more!

The online fashion magazine is an international platform on which mannequins, super models, designers, artists, photographers, stylists, make-up and hair stylists show off their skills. Our online fashion shoots are a must-see, these editorials combine photography with flash animation, couture and music.
This makes the fashion site an international and stylish resource for everybody: one of the web's most visually luxurious magazines.

Iconique Fashion Magazine understands new luxury.

Iconique is a site created by designer, artist Joost van Gorsel. Iconique's unique ability to mix animation and music with refreshing, stylish content proved to be a winner among the internet's style lovers. The luxurious web site has won various design awards for its flash animation, has been part of various web design books and was showcased at the Boijmans Museum in Rotterdam as part of Project Rotterdam.

Apart from the projection at the Boijmans Museum, Iconique’s part in the exhibit also featured four large window displays of 2.5 by 2.5 meters each. Life in the City of Rotterdam has an image of being minimalist and bland, Van Gorsel tries to fight this by communicating a world of decadence, iconism and cheerfulness. The displays, colored in cyan, magenta, yellow and black -- the four printing colors and a reference to the ‘concept’ of a traditional magazine -- will feature international fashion designers and represents the theme ‘Excess: in here life is beautiful’... Van Gorsel wants to focus on the thin line between fashion as art and fashion as being an art of living: a representation of a personal image. One may discover traces of gold confetti, a small tribute to his favorite writer Brett Easton Ellis: “Confetti is a useless product, its only purpose is to create a moment of frivolity, a moment of excess.” Fashion and accessories will be shown by designers such as Rei Kawakubo for Comme des Garçons, Nicolas Ghesquière for Balenciaga, Christopher Bailey for Burberry Prorsum, Basso & Brooke, Coco de Mer and Cartier Jewelry, while hair stylist Pieter Roodhorst will provide the mannequins with glamorous , edgy looks. The best of the Dutch fashion magazine was beamed on a cinema screen, people could almost step into the world of luxury we portray!
