RUNWAY Milestones 1995-2025 Global Influence

NEW YORK - Rezul -- The Enchanting Genesis of RUNWAY MAGAZINE

Once upon a time, in the vibrant city of New York, the seeds of what would become a fashion powerhouse were sown. This tale isn't merely a recount of beginnings; it's the chronicle of RUNWAY MAGAZINE, a narrative interwoven with dreams, creativity, and the audacity to reimagine fashion communication. In 1995, Eleonora de Gray, a spirited young model working with the Metropolitan agency, graced runways in New York, Paris, and Milan. Yet, it was her desire to vocalize her insights on the very fashion she paraded that marked the inception of something truly remarkable.

Joined by a small circle of friends—a visionary photographer, a creative stylist, and a gifted makeup artist—Eleonora embarked on a venture that was both daring and innovative. Together, they crafted articles, collages, and caricature images that mirrored their unique perspectives on fashion. Merging their collective talents, they assembled these pieces in an old-fashioned layout, breathing life into "RUNWAY" as a newspaper/magazine. Printed in several hundreds of copies, this magazine was more than mere paper and ink; it was a testament to their shared passion and a critique wrapped in artistry.

As RUNWAY made its debut in the backstage areas of New York Fashion Week, placed surreptitiously on the seats of unsuspecting guests, it began its journey from a whispered secret to a bold statement. Issue after issue, season after season, what started as a playful experiment evolved into a resonant voice within the fashion community. The magazine's satirical edge and candid illustrations captivated an audience beyond its creators' wildest dreams, though the extent of its influence remained shrouded in mystery.

No one really knows how many people read these comics and satirical pamphlets, watched funny pictures in RUNWAY magazine. No one really knows how many editors or their assistants took RUNWAY magazine seriously, and wrote their own stories. No one really knows how many movies used RUNWAY as an inspiration… as many saw RUNWAY as an expression of something brilliant, creative, even existential, as a revelation of the possibilities which lie beyond constricted existence. Not only once, RUNWAY licensed its name for the movie productions and TV series.

Editors, assistants, and even filmmakers found in RUNWAY a source of inspiration, a canvas of brilliance and creativity that challenged the status quo, suggesting that the essence of fashion transcends the boundaries of conventional existence.

It took nine years for this spirited venture to transform into a tangible enterprise. In 2004, Eleonora de Gray established RUNWAY MAGAZINE's first official office in Paris, France, marking a new chapter in its narrative. Initially aimed at the local market, RUNWAY soon transcended geographical confines, emerging as a beacon of innovation and creative excellence on the international stage.

Today, RUNWAY MAGAZINE stands as a vanguard of the fashion and luxury markets, celebrated for its inventive solutions and unparalleled "out of the box" projects. From its humble beginnings to its current status as a leading international media powerhouse, RUNWAY MAGAZINE's journey is a testament to the power of vision, collaboration, and the relentless pursuit of redefining the fashion narrative.
