Cliché Magazine is a digital fashion magazine that focuses on fashion, music, lifestyle, entertainment, and culture.[1] Based in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, the magazine releases monthly issues exclusively on digital platforms.

Basic information

[edit]

The magazine was founded by Jeremy Fall as editor-in-chief[2] and premiered on June 1, 2009. Fall founded Cliché at the age of 18, initially as a side project, while working as an event producer.[3] According to Fall, the magazine reached one million unique views in December 2009. On June 1, 2011, after a year-long hiatus, the magazine was relaunched in a new format that allowed for audio and video embedding.[3][4] Head photographer Dirk Mai produces cover editorials as well as other exclusive content for the magazine.[5][6]

Richard Corbett became the new proprietor of Cliché[7] in December 2011, and Megan Portorreal took the reins as editor-in-chief of the magazine[7] In October 2012, Wilson Greene joined the Cliché team [7] as a managing partner and COO. In May 2012, Cliché assigned Quavondo Nguyen to their team as creative director and head photographer. With a design and photography background, Quavondo was able to provide creative insights to help the company rebrand its product. In the summer of 2013, Cliché relaunched with a new visual identity, including logo, website and magazine redesign. Quavondo left Cliché in 2018 but returned in 2020 as the editor-in-chief.[citation needed]

[edit]

In December 2009, the magazine released its "Print is Dead, Get Over It" campaign.[8] In light of the online publication boom, Cliché's print issues were in high demand.[6][9] In addition to its website, Cliché is also available as an iPhone and iPod touch application.[10]

Furthermore, its August 2009 issue, titled "The Green Issue", focused on providing environmental conservation tips as well as highlighting eco-friendly brands such as Tom's Shoes.[11]

Other brands

[edit]

In addition to the magazine, Cliché used to run the blog Hello Kitsch, which was presented in a daily format and included additional personal content between issues.[12][13] The blog posts have now been digitalized.

Cliché TV was created as a way to promote independent artists and showcase webisodes, models, and other video-related projects.[14]

Cover models

[edit]

Cliché's covers have featured a wide range of appearances, including Brittany Flickinger,[15] Mandy Jiroux,[16] Tiësto,[17] actress Torrey DeVitto, and the band The Maine.[8]
