The Making Of Measure

Measure is the reinvented Fashion Magazine at Marist College. We felt the former name and mission of FM/AM needed a reinterpretation for 2021. Measure is created through the Marist Fashion Program’s magazine production class, which breaks down into five respective teams: Editorial, Art & Design, Fashion, Social Media & Marketing, and Production. Under the guidance of our Academic Advisor Professor Kimberly Cutter, we have created a home for designers, writers, and creators of all kinds. Together we sought to harness the awareness we gained during the pandemic to make a lasting impact on our community—and pinpoint precisely where fashion belongs in a new world. Over the last year, our world changed faster than we could have ever imagined. Our environment shifted, and the pieces of society’s puzzle seemed to fall out of place. But Measure helped us create a new narrative amidst the confusion. Instead of trying to put the puzzle back the way it had been, we decided to make a new puzzle–one which included crucial pieces that had previously been left out—and, in the process, take charge in reimagining our future. Fashion and responsibility now serve as the core building blocks beneath our rebrand, helping us aspire to heights we once believed unattainable. Now, as we step into a new world, we ask the question… Do we Measure up?
