Fashion Grunge Library

When I was thinking about archiving my mag collection on TikTok I found other collectors as I got going. One of the first creators I remember salivating over was 90s Mags and More. I look forward to each new video because it really is like looking through a time capsule. For this interview episode I got to chat with Lauren about her collection, her history with Seventeen Magazine, current titles, and go deep on teenage nostalgia.  This is a public episode.

EPISODE NOTESThis is quite a surreal moment for me. I’ve been inspired by Valerie Phillips’ work since I picked up a NYLON magazine in the early 00s. It was a dream to be able to talk with her about shooting during the peak of fashion magazine culture. We get into her start on music video sets, how she worked with some of the best during the start of NYLON, and how she self published her own work which led to international publisher and her latest book, Candy Cat Head (out soon).Here are some samples of Valerie’s work: —Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more…) and to support the show join the Patreon!GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Guest: Valerie Phillips | @wynterinspaceHost: Lauren @lauren_melanieFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack: The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge This is a public episode.

This is my first interview on the library side of the podcast. Since I've been documenting my collection I wanted to connect with other collectors to talk about our journey and how we came across certain titles. I found Sofia on TikTok @curatedbysofia and I knew I had to get her on the line to chat about our love of photography and print media! This is a public episode.

I've been into magazines for what seems like most of my life. I started archiving and sharing my own collection back in 2022 but I want to expand and take it even further. So this episode is just a bit of my history collecting magazines, zine, and photo books. Check out the progress on Instagram and TikTok! More library content coming soon exclusively to the SubStack!
