The untold story of the magazine that invented street style
Vanessa Friedman recalls one of the most influential magazines that most people have never heard about in a piece for The New York Times. “Rags was the first publication to identify street style as a discrete fashion sector and call out the establishment for trying to manufacture trends,” Friedman writes. “You can draw a direct line from its birth to the work of Bill Cunningham (Rags had an ‘On the Street’ photo section eight years before ‘On the Street’ appeared in The New York Times) and such Instagram sensations as The Sartorialist and Tommy Ton.” {The New York Times}
