Full Glossy 8 Report, Part 1
Magazines give parties. The New Yorker throws a whole festival. During South by Southwest, lifestyle and music magazines compete to stage the buzziest events in town (usually Spin wins). The Austin City Limits Music Festival has started to attract the same social media treatment, with serial parties given by Paste, Blender, Paper, Envy, NME and others.

On regular basis, locally based slicks have linked thematic socializing to their issue launches. Tribeza is king, with happy hours, formal dinners and multiple events tied to fashion week. L Style G Style and Fave spotlight different retailers, while Rare has recently showcased new lofts, condos and other residences with parties. Brilliant has branched out into the clubs, throwing over-the-top bashes at Pangaea.

And, of course, the prize-takers themselves, pictured here and in following posts, demonstrated plenty of class.
