Otis Students Fuel New Fashion Pub
Students at Los Angeles’ Otis College of Art + Design have been tapped to ferret out the next big trends in Southern California fashion and lifestyle for the Modus Project, a new bi-annual magazine, Web site and fashion show.
Part of Primedia’s action sports group, the Modus Project magazine will be edited by Surfer magazine editor Steve Hawk, with editorial provided by a staff of Otis students. The 140-page book will track the hottest new trends as interpreted by the students.
Set to debut at the Action Sports Retailer Trade Expo in San Diego in September, the magazine will be distributed with Surfing, Surfer and Snowboarder magazines and on newsstands nationwide. —Erin Barajas
