VAGUE PRESENTS
TOMES
VAGUE TOMES is a culture-first magazine exploring how fashion, film, culture and identity inform the world around us. Powered by VAGUE — a global community of over 500 registered creatives and consumers alike working to facilitate culture and innovate creativity across four continents — we exist at the intersection of editorial depth, creative practice and community engagement, preserving not just what culture looks like but how it’s made, who it’s for and what it shapes next.
Our editorial calendar is slower by design, prioritizing context over clicks, insight over immediacy and contribution over coverage. From editorials produced in-house to visual diaries submitted from around the world, TOMES uses the philosophies of social journalism to curate our members’ unique perspectives and spark dialogue within the community, both informing and reflecting how young people are navigating this increasingly chaotic world.
These TOMES are our stories. Tap in.
Who we are
Founded on the principles of experience design and cultural archiving by two British-Nigerian sisters in Central Manchester, VAGUE operates as a hybrid creative agency and think tank for young people, by young people. Through the VAGUE Studio, we disrupt static industries with creative innovation powered by street-level cultural insights, technical expertise and global access to next-gen talent. Through the VAGUE Portal, we connect creatives across industries, from design and software development to visual arts and strategy, with purpose-driven clients such as Entertainment One and the Royal Exchange Theatre, as well as engaged audiences for networking, research, collaboration and employment. Membership is free. How you use it is up to you.
