FASHION MAG: SKLTN showcases style from a Philly point of view

POSTED: Tuesday, October 11, 2011, 12:00 PM

There’s a new fashion mag on the scene. SKLTN showcases a range of local designers and fashionistas from young Philly's point of view.

The man behind SKLTN, Marcus Branch, finds Philadelphia incredibly inspiring. “The moment I began the idea of a magazine, I immediately thought ‘It has to be out of Philly,’” he says. “I see things around here that capture my eye, and I'd like to expose them to others, as well. Philly is such an artistic city, from its murals to its residents. I'm just exploring it.” Branch, a student of photography at UArts, finds many of the mag-featured fashions while he's out on the street. If he spots an intriguing outfit, he’ll stop the person to chat. He looks for style off the beaten path and seeks to include whatever he finds there.

Cool features in the current issue include “Fossilis ‘Dug Up," a photo-stacked trip down memory lane with an '80s-style lover and “Concrete” (pictured), a set of seriously haute hairstyles. SKLTN can be viewed online.
