Promo Magazine - November 2014

Promo Magazine is a promotional magazine that not only promotes artists but also recognizes them because no one else has. Promo magazine has worked with Seventeen Magazine, XClothing, photographers from around the world, Success in Style, and many more. We are not only about promoting ourselves but promoting the art that we so dearly take for granted. Promo Magazine was founded by Michael Suber CEO and President of Aberration and Promo Magazine. He has been to New York Fashion Week, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and also worked with many artists to get to know them and find out their inspirations as an artist. Homepage: www.promomagnews.com

The Goth subculture has endured long enough to spawn a major fashion-retailer (Hot Topic), popular films (Tim Burton received an Oscar nod for his “Corpse Bride”) and TV characters (think Abby Sciuto, the forensic scientist on CBS’ “NCIS”). And mainstream parody: A “Saturday Night Live” skit, “Goth Talk,” poked fun at the subculture as being dominated by teens. Damien Wallace, editor for Promo Magazine, said it’s too easy to make assumptions about why some gravitate to the scene. “It’s like asking why do you like strawberries?” Even the scene has changed dramatically since he first was drawn to it as a teen in the Skagit Valley. Then, Goths were perhaps best known for dark, Victorian-era clothing, including bustled skirts, corsets and lace. Today, the aesthetics run from “cybergoths,” with clothing and hair reminiscent of futuristic science-fiction characters, to those who dress with an early-20th-century burlesque feel.
