Tribute Brand is a digital fashion brand creating clothes for all of your realities. As the consequences of human behavior become more and more extreme, humans are resorting to a range of digital existences to escape reality and fulfill their wants and needs.
In this new paradigm the digital world is a place to create and consume without boundaries while the physical world is a place to preserve and repurpose. By creating physical fashion and digital clothing Tribute Brand caters to them both.
Zine
From Tribute Text, a free reading archive edited by Tribute Brand
A zine (/ziːn/ ZEEN; short for magazine or fanzine) is a small-circulation self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images, usually reproduced via a copy machine. Zines are the product of either a single person or of a very small group and are popularly photocopied into physical prints for circulation. A fanzine (a blend of fan and magazine) is a non-professional and non-official publication produced by enthusiasts of a particular cultural phenomenon (such as a literary or musical genre) for the pleasure of others who share their interests. The term was coined in an October 1940 science fiction fanzine by Russ Chauvenet and popularized within science fiction fandom, entering the Oxford English Dictionary in 1949.
Zines were widely popular within the punk subculture. The DIY punk aesthetic created a thriving underground press. Amateur magazines related to punk were inspired by the rock fanzines of the early 1970s, which were inspired by zines from the science fiction fan community.
