Fashion Issue Magazine: A Birthday Gift Guide

The Fashion Issue is a printed personal magazine in the style of a glossy fashion title, made for a milestone birthday. It suits someone whose life deserves a cover story, and it is built from your own photos and words. You can make it with Dee, our AI assistant, or by hand in the editor, and change everything before you order.

Who this magazine is for

The Fashion Issue is designed for a milestone birthday, the kind of year worth marking with a little glamour. It suits a close friend, a sister, a partner or a parent who loves style and likes to be the centre of attention.

It works well as a surprise because the reader feels like the star of a magazine they would actually pick up at a newsstand. If the birthday person is more private or prefers a quiet keepsake, a memory magazine with a simpler layout may fit better.

You can see the full range of designs in the catalogue and compare them before you decide.

What's inside

The Fashion Issue follows the structure of a fashion magazine, so each part has a clear role:

  • A cover story in black, with the birthday person as the headline.
  • An editor's note, a short personal letter from you or the team around them.
  • Meet the birthday girl, a profile built from photos and facts about her life.
  • Her inner world, the pages about what she loves, what she cares about and what makes her herself.
  • Iconic texts, quotes and messages that matter to her or to the people who love her.
  • 24 hours with her, a day in her life told through pictures and short captions.
  • Notes from her inner circle, messages from the people around her.

Every page is made from the material you supply, so the balance of pictures and words is yours to set.

How you make it yours

You bring the photos, names and words. The magazine is shaped around them, so the more you share, the more personal it becomes.

Making it with Dee

Dee asks questions about the birthday person, the photos you have and the tone you want, then drafts the magazine. You can accept, edit or replace anything Dee suggests.

Making it by hand in the editor

If you prefer full control, you can build each page yourself in the editor, moving photos, rewriting captions and adjusting the layout.

Changing it before you order

Either way, everything can be changed before you order. Nothing is printed until you are happy with it. You can also add QR codes that play a voice message or a video, which is a nice touch if you want the birthday person to hear from family abroad. See what the editor can do for more.

Sizes and page counts

The Fashion Issue is printed at A4 (210 × 297 mm). You can choose any page count from 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, & 52, going up in steps of 4, from a minimum of 16 pages to a maximum of 52.

For deliveries outside Türkiye, the size is US Letter. The estimated delivery date for your address is shown before you pay, so you can plan around it. For full details, see shipping and prices and delivery.

Is it the right choice?

The Fashion Issue suits someone who enjoys style, attention and a bit of drama. If the person you are thinking of prefers a warmer family album, a Year in Review or a photo book may be a better fit. Our gift guide lists other occasions and ideas.

How to start

The easiest way to begin is with Dee. Tell Dee who the birthday person is, pick a few photos and let Dee ask the questions. You can always switch to the editor later.
