Ever since we went into print in 2004—seven years after we began online—the cost of shipping has typically been prohibitive for our international readers. Usually, shipping cost more than the magazine itself, and the situation has only worsened in the last decade.
When Scopalto, a French electronic newsstand, approached us to sell our PDFs online, we happily said yes. It’s one of several developments that we have this year to bring Lucire to a wider audience. With Lucire readers often ahead of the curve and often early adopters of new technology, 2012 seemed to be the right time to make the move in to new digital formats.
If you want the latest in fashion, our new issue, featuring Denise Richards as photographed by Andrew Matusik, can be downloaded and read on the go for only €5 as a PDF. If you want it as an Ipad or Android app, our friends at Magzter have now released it, for US$6·99 per issue. And if you want it as a print-on-demand copy, head over to lucire.cc/print and get a limited edition for US$20·50. Inside you’ll find the sort of in-depth articles that our various print editions globally have been known for through the years—answering the question, just where is fashion at this point in history? There are lovingly executed shoots, travel features that take you to unexpected places, and lifestyle articles that give you a better view of our world.
Scroll down and you’ll see the sort of presentation you get inside each issue. We’ve always wanted to reach everyone globally with a single edition and these editions bring us closer to that goal.
If you’ve ever wondered what’s inside Lucire, it’s more accessible than ever. Head here to download the PDF, or here to get the tablet apps.
