Bold Magazine is high fashion publication launching Fall 2011. The concept behind Bold was to provide a publication that mirrored the minority community. The idea was not to design a separate entity in the fashion industry, but to include more faces of color.
Editor-in-Chief, Elissa Mirsky, originally planned to launch and house Bold in Atlanta, Georgia, but decided that home is where the heart is, Los Angeles. From its birth stage in 2009, Bold Magazine has been taking shape and molding into a literary and digital iconic force. Working and building relationships with other rising movers and shakers, Ms. Mirsky is leaving impressions and heel scuffs wherever she steps, and with every strut she takes, Ms. Mirsky is not just reinterpreting fashion with BOLD, but Beauty, Music, Philanthropy, Arts & Culture, Entertainment and Society.
In addition, Bold Magazine plans to launch its nonprofit, The National Association of Minorities in Fashion (NAMF). It’s mission is to aid emerging fashion designers in building a successful business and to provide a professional platform to showcase their creations alongside like-minded artists while expanding nationwide and internationally. The NAMF hopes to nurture a successful fashion industry in Los Angeles as well as other major cities, and give rise to a new group of entrepreneurs and generate job opportunities in both creative and corporate sides of design.
Born and raised in the City of Angels, this former Cal State L.A. student once majoring in Journalism has put her experiences as a model, stylist, personal shopper, and fashion and pageant show producer to their optimal use. Because in order to be BOLD, it takes brains, optimism, leadership, and drive to stand up and stand out. Bold Magazine is including faces of beauty, talent, and skill that reflect you and me.
Bry Delicia of Chicago and currently living in Los Angeles has only been with Bold a short time, but has been very influential in it’s day–to-day web presence. Michelle Morgan former high school friend and now Editor at Large has been and still is a huge driving force in the daily success of Bold.
