An independent fashion publication exploring contemporary fashion through creative expression, distinctive personalities and visual experimentation.
We document the designers, models, photographers, stylists and creative minds shaping the fashion landscape, alongside original editorials and perspectives on the ideas influencing contemporary style.
Our interest lies in individuality, discovery and unconventional aesthetics. We believe fashion should be questioned, interpreted, experimented with and, above all, enjoyed. We celebrate creativity beyond convention, bringing established voices and emerging talent together in an international creative environment.
Fashion is not a uniform. It is an expression of imagination. Fashion is the medium; the person is the subject.
The name
ha·loid — halo, glow, aura; and a quiet nod to the chemistry of film. Film photography runs on silver halide, the light-sensitive crystals in the emulsion. HALOID borrows from that language of the image, and from the idea of someone’s presence.
How we work
No advertising pages. Nobody pays to be published. AI-generated images are never accepted. Every team we publish is credited in full and receives the printed issue.
HALOID is made in Riga and published in English, with contributors from Riga, Copenhagen, Berlin, London, Paris, Milan and beyond.
