What's Inside
4K Fashion’s digital magazine will come to life with videos accompanying the written and photo content. It will be available on multiple platforms from mobile to computers to Smart TV’s in up to 4K quality (device and bandwidth dependent).
Fashion and lifestyle content will include Editorials with photo layouts and fashion films Runway shows, red carpets and BTS Vlogs, tips & tricks Fashion news and reports Profiles of fashion industry people and companies … and much more!
The magazine will be available as a digital download or dedicated App. The website and App will have additional video content available. A print version can be ordered, but of course will not inlude videos!
Why 4k?
The visual nature of fashion makes it ideal for 4K. Advances in display and camera technologies allow the audience to see the best quality. 4K provides not only higher resolution (four times that of 1080p), it can also show much more color (up to 64 times that of traditional television) for greater range and subtler shades; and expanded dynamic range (HDR – brighter brights and darker darks) for a more vivid look.
Business-wise, there are already some 100 million 4KTV’s in the world. By the end of 2019 that number is projected to reach 300 million. But there’s still not all that much high quality native 4K content – thus a lot of potential reach in a growing high end market.

Content Partners
4K Fashion is looking for content partners or one off submissions other than editorial – generally in the categories of fashion, beauty and lifestyle although we may find other topics to be a good fit.
We do require 4K video with any submissions. For example, this might include a vlog style report to accompany a written article. If you do not have access to a 4K camera, we may be able to help or collaborate – especially for those in the Los Angeles area.
To discuss, please send us your email address and tell us a bit about what type of content you create.
Advertisers and Sponsors
4K Fashion will have many opportunities for advertising, sponsorships – or strategic partnerships.
The magazine will be available to mobile devices, but will help push them towards the App on Smart 4K TV (and OTT) platforms, reaching a global audience of 4K viewers.
We’re also developing FashionFilmmaking.com, which will be a resource for fashion filmmakers around the world.
If you would like to get further information, please send your email and we’ll reply with more details.
