Dear Readers,

Discourse Of is a beauty, fashion & lifestyle magazine through the lens of cultural studies.

Each issue takes one thing—

a foundation, a couture show, a cult cake—and treats it like a script: something with characters, values and quiet instructions about how a wonderful life should look. We pull out the key words, spot the hidden ideals and gently ask who’s been left off the guest list.

You’ll find critical discourse analysis (CDA) here, but never as homework. Instead, it appears as tiny guides and poems you can carry back to your own scrolling. It’s for people who care about style and would also like to understand the stories wrapped around it-and sometimes, gently change them.

Best Wishes,

D_o
