Instution - Nylon Magazine

 Nylon is an American magazine that focuses on the topics of Art, Beauty, Music, Design, Celebrities, technology and travel. Bikini and Ray Gun publishers sold their majority of interests to Ray gun publishing and formed Pop Media.  The magazine was founded by the Jarretts and former Ray Gun editorial Director, Mark Blackwell. According to publisher, Jacylnn Jarrett, the magazine name was chosen purely because the Editor in Chief just liked the sound of ‘Nylon’ however it was soon realized that New York and London tie in, which was congruous with their editorial focus on the two major cities. Intentions for the magazine layout was ‘hyper legible’ after getting criticism from Ray Guns usual ‘chaotic layouts’. The first issue was released in 1999 and in 2006 Nylon and Myspace collaborated on their first international music issue, and was available online.
