The ISSUE was created from a shared love of art, design, and fashioN.

the belief that a magazine can be a space where all these passions intersect.

We wanted each issue to center around a single topic, giving ourselves and our collaborators the freedom to explore something new with every release.

At its core, The ISSUE is a celebration of creativity, our community of artists, and Chicago nightlife.

With this rendition, we wanted to focus on our Chicago celebrities. With The ISSUE, we hope to create something that feels fresh, collaborative, and reflective of the creative spirit in our community.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We can’t wait to share what’s next!

With Love,

Andrew Davalos and Jack Mcguinness
