Clear Finally Relaunches Its Website

After waiting 2 yrs and some odd months for Clear Magazine’s website to reconstruct, it’s finally back up. Originally, the magazine’s website was made entirely of Flash with flippable pages (way before Adobe CS3 came to town with their built-in flash flip pager program) and a somewhat arty layout. Now their new site is much more user-friendly with amazing photographs and preview pages of the current issue.

Perhaps the most eye-catching part of their site is their blog. Although it’s not quite elaborate on words, the pictures they post are quite simply flabbergastingly beautiful. Although it’s quite difficult to find a good source of the latest designers without the site being convoluted, Clear’s posts for underground (yet amazingly talented) fashion designers pull me in for a double take. The magazine does fixate upon luxury brands thus would only be fitting they’d pick the cream of the crop of unknowns.

Take for example Kisa, a Russian-brand with its eyes set to be the next Gucci, according to the International Herald Tribune. I don’t particularly care if they want to be the next Gucci, what I do care is if any online store carries (or will carry) their line. I love the subtlety of their details and the styles are certainly very wearable. The Russians are indeed coming.

The crux of the content can, of course, only be found in the print version, which I once again highly recommend in getting. A glimpse of their well thought out layouts are posted on the site’s front page and really, who doesn’t want to read about mechanical structures when you have an intriguing image like this:
