Buffalo Zine #21

BUFFALO ZINE - Issue 22, Autumn/Winter 2025

COVER SENT AT RANDOM

This issue was made without models, stylists, hair or makeup artists. Everyone who appears here belongs to the world we’re talking about — they work in fashion, or live around it, consume it, understand it. They are not outsiders dressed up as something else. The clothes come from both the brands that lent them to us and the people themselves; each look was put together in their own way. There was no script, no moodboard. What matters here is how style exists in real life, in the gestures. These are also the people we like — people who attract us, who we want around. We didn’t want to keep apologising for that.

In this issue, we also take the chance to reflect on 15 years of publishing, and to open up about financial struggles, dwindling brand support and the magazine’s unpredictable future. We open a new stage for Buffalo, one where fashion is approached from the inside out: honest, personal, and lived. A shift away from aspiration, toward presence. Away from image, toward relation. A space where what is enough, simply, is finally seen.

Buffalo Zine Buffalo Zine is a timeless and placeless expression of art, aesthetics, youth and self expression. The design and format changes with each issue, allowing the form to be as free as the content. Buffalo is as homemade as good bread – created with joy, love and devotion, like a personal diary or an orchard.
