‘The Outdoor Avant-Garde’
Vanish is a new magazine from the online media platform Vanish Today, dedicated to the intersection of outdoor and urban culture. As AI increasingly becomes a mainstay of public discourse, brands face the difficult decision of deciding where they stand; for Vanish, the answer lies beyond the screen. Their motto?: ‘Distrust algorithms, trust nature’.
Following a pilot edition earlier this year that introduced readers to their manifesto, this inaugural issue expands the conversation through a look at ten brands and people shaping the future of outdoor design. Featured brands include Raxxy, Functional Clothing Lab, Griffin, and PrimaLoft—plenty of space is given over to a conversation with each, interspersed with graphically rendered calls to action from editor-in-chief William Black.
